METHODS: Inhibitory effects of drugs (5-ASA,nimesulide and their combination) on HT-29 colon carcinoma cells were investigated by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cellular apoptosis and proliferation were detected by TUNEL assay and immunocytochemical staining,respectively. RESULTS: Pretreatment with 5-ASA or nimesulide at the concentration of 10-1000 μmol/L inhibited proliferation of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro (t = 5.122,P < 0.05; t = 3.086,P < 0.05,respectively). The inhibition rate of HT-29 colon carcinoma cell proliferation was also increased when pretreated with 5-ASA (100 μmol/L) or nimesulide (100 μmol/L) for 12-96 h,which showed an obvious time-effect relationship (t = 6.149,P < 0.05; t = 4.159,P < 0.05,respectively). At the concentration of 10-500 μmol/L,the apoptotic rate of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells significantly increased (t = 18.156,P < 0.001; t = 19.983,P < 0.001,respectively),while expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was remarkably decreased (t = 6.828,P < 0.05; t = 14.024,P < 0.05,respectively). 5-ASA in combination with nimesulide suppressed the proliferation of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells more than either of these agents in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner (t = 5.448,P < 0.05; t = 4.428,P < 0.05,respectively). CONCLUSION: 5-ASA and nimesulide may inhibit the proliferation of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells and coadministration of these agents may have additional chemopreventive potential.展开更多

Methods: The DR5 receptor of SMMC-7721 cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). For further experimental application, SMMC-7721 cells were treated with proper dose of mDRA-6, nimesulide, or mDRA-6 plus 200 μmol/L nimesulide; untreated SMMC-7721 cells were comparably set as control. Cytotoxicity was tested by MTT assay; cell morphology was examined using Hoechst 33258 staining; and apoptosis was determined by FCM. Results: The positive rate of DR5 on SMMC-7721 was 95.0%. Either mDRA-6 or nimesulide alone induces SMMC-7721 cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of 1,600 ng/mL mDRA-6 for 12h led to a cell-death rate of 35.0%, while an increased cell-death rate (91.1%) was found under the same condition of mDRA-6 treatment supple- mented with 200 μmol/L nimesulide. Hoechst 33258 and Annexin V/PI staining confirmed apoptosis as the main cause of this anti-tumor response. Conclusion: Both mDRA-6 and nimesulide can induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, and they have synergistic anti-tumor activities against SMMC-7721.展开更多

Benzoic acid was used as internal standard. Validation was carried out in compliance with the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The method utilized GC (Agilent Technologies 6890 N Network GC system with FID detector), and RTX-5 capillary column (5% diphenyl-95% dimethyl polysiloxane), 30 m × 0.53 mm, 1.5 μm as stationary phase. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1.5 mL?min–1. The proposed method was validated for linearity, LOD, LOQ, accuracy, precision, ruggedness and solution stability. It can be conveniently adopted for routine quality control analysis.展开更多

Sample aliquots of 100μL were extracted by one-step liquid-liquid extraction after addition of hydrochlorothiazide as the internal standard (IS). Analytes were separated on a reverse phase C18 column using methanol-water (84:16, v/v) as the mobile phase and detected by a single quadrupole mass spectrometer in selected ion monitoring (SIM) negative mode. Monitored m/z values for nimesulide and IS were 307.00 and 295.90, respectively. The overall run time was 4.2 min. Validation experiments demonstrated good precision and accuracy over a wide concentration range of 20.0-7000 ng/mL with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) at 20.0 ng/mL. No interference by endogenous substances or matrix effect was observed. Average extraction recoveries for nimesulide and IS were all greater than 84.4%. The assay was successfully applied to a bioequivalence study of nimesulide dispersible tablets in Chinese male volunteers after oral administration.展开更多

The bilayer tablet containing a fast release layer(FRL) and a sustained release layer(SRL) provided an initial burst release of nimesulide, followed by the sustained release for a period of time. The optimal formulation obtained was as follows:(I) the formulation of FRL: nimesulide, 50 mg; lactose, 92 mg; starch, 22 mg; CCMC-Na, 14 mg; PVP K30, 1 mg; micronized silica gel, 1 mg; magnesium stearate, 0.9 mg; and iron oxide red, 0.1 mg; and(II) the formulation of SRL: nimesulide, 150 mg; HPMC K100LV, 26 mg; HPMC K4M, 33 mg; lactose, 54 mg; PVP K30, 1 mg; micronized silica gel, 1 mg; and magnesium stearate, 0.9 mg. According to the optimal formulation, the biphasic type of release was identified. The in vitro drug dissolution from the bilayer tablets was sustained for about 16 h after releasing 15% of drug in the first 10 min. The developed nimesulide bilayer tablets with improved efficacy can perform therapeutically better than the conventional tablets.展开更多

Recently, it is proposed that cyclooxygenase isoenzyme may also play a key role in the pathophysiology of various brain-related disorders. The present study was aimed to explore the protective effect of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on stress by using an animal model of chronic stress. Methods The animals were forced to swim individually for a period of 6 min every day for 15 d. Then, the behavior (locomotor activity, anxiety and memory) and biochemical (lipid peroxidation, nitrite level, reduced glutathione, and catalase) alterations were assessed. Results Forced swimming for 15 d caused impaired locomotor activity, anxiety-like behavior and decreased percentage of memory retention, as compared to na?ve mice (without chronic fatigue treatment). Biochemical analysis revealed significant increases in lipid peroxidation and nitrite level, while levels of reduced glutathione and catalase activity were both decreased. Chronic treatment with naproxen (14 mg/kg, i.p.), rofecoxib (5 mg/kg, i.p.), meloxicam (5 mg/kg, i.p.), nimesulide (5 mg/kg, i.p.) and valdecoxib (10 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly attenuated these behavioral and biochemical (oxidative damage) alterations in chronic-stressed mice. Conclusion The cyclooxygenase inhibitors could be used in the management of chronic fatigue-like conditions.展开更多

文摘Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate anti-tumor effects of mDRA-6 plus nimesulide on a human hepatocellular cancer cell line, SMMC-7721, and study the main mechanisms. Methods: The DR5 receptor of SMMC-7721 cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). For further experimental application, SMMC-7721 cells were treated with proper dose of mDRA-6, nimesulide, or mDRA-6 plus 200 μmol/L nimesulide; untreated SMMC-7721 cells were comparably set as control. Cytotoxicity was tested by MTT assay; cell morphology was examined using Hoechst 33258 staining; and apoptosis was determined by FCM. Results: The positive rate of DR5 on SMMC-7721 was 95.0%. Either mDRA-6 or nimesulide alone induces SMMC-7721 cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of 1,600 ng/mL mDRA-6 for 12h led to a cell-death rate of 35.0%, while an increased cell-death rate (91.1%) was found under the same condition of mDRA-6 treatment supple- mented with 200 μmol/L nimesulide. Hoechst 33258 and Annexin V/PI staining confirmed apoptosis as the main cause of this anti-tumor response. Conclusion: Both mDRA-6 and nimesulide can induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, and they have synergistic anti-tumor activities against SMMC-7721.
