The currently available neuroprotective drugs fail to achieve desired therapeutic efficacy mainly due to short circulation half-life and poor blood−brain barrier (BBB) permeability. For that, an edaravone-loaded pH/glutathione (pH/GSH) dual-responsive poly(amino acid) nanogel (NG/EDA) was developed to improve the neuroprotection of EDA. The nanogel was triggered by acidic and EDA-induced high-level GSH microenvironments, which enabled the selective and sustained release of EDA at the site of ischemic injury. NG/EDA exhibited a uniform sub-spherical morphology with a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 112.3 ± 8.2 nm. NG/EDA efficiently accumulated at the cerebral ischemic injury site of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) mice, showing an efficient BBB crossing feature. Notably, NG/EDA with 50 µM EDA significantly increased neuron survival (29.3%) following oxygen and glucose deprivation by inhibiting ferroptosis. In addition, administering NG/EDA for 7 d significantly reduced infarct volume to 22.2% ± 7.2% and decreased neurobehavioral scores from 9.0 ± 0.6 to 2.0 ± 0.8. Such a pH/GSH dual-responsive nanoplatform might provide a unique and promising modality for neuroprotection in ischemic stroke and other central nervous system diseases.展开更多

First, we chose four antipsychotic medicines, amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMT), chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ), haloperidol (HPD) and risperidone (RIS) and evaluated the inhibition of their bitterness by AMP through taste sensor measurements. AMP showed a significant bitterness inhibition effect on all drugs. Second, MarvinSketch analysis revealed the potential formation of electrostatic interactions between ionic forms (IV) of AMP and ionic (cationic) forms of each drug, which resulted in bitterness suppression. Third, chemical shift perturbations in 1H-NMR studies suggested an interaction between the phosphate group of AMP and amino group of AMT, CPZ, HPD and RIS. Last, conventional elution experiments of up to 1 min simulating oral cavity conditions were performed for 1 whole AMT tablet, half AMT tablet, crushed half AMT tablet, and crushed AMT tablet containing AMP powder/solution (1, 3 mM potency). The taste sensor output values of the crushed AMT tablet containing AMP powder/solution (1, 3 mM potency) were significantly lower than those of the crushed tablet.展开更多

Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (CYPs) are the most important phase I enzymes in the metabolism of xenobiotics. The products of phase I metabolism are then acted upon by phase II enzymes, including glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Herbs that inhibit CYPs such as CYP3A4 or that induce GSTs may have the potential to protect against chemical carcinogenesis since the mutagenic effects of carcinogens are often mediated through an excess of CYP-generated reactive intermediates. This study was designed to investigate the effects of salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a pure compound extracted from Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, a Chinese herb, on cell proliferation and CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 mRNA expression in the presence or absence of rifampicin, a potent inducer of CYPs and GST protein expression in HepG2 cells. METHODS: HepG2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of Sal B. Cell proliferation was determined by SYTOX-Green nucleic acid staining. CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression was assayed by real-time PCR. GST protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Low concentrations of Sal B (0-20 μmol/L) had no significant effects on cell proliferation, while higher concentrations (100-250 μmol/L) significantly inhibited proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Ten μmol/L Sal B, but not 1 μmol/L, down-regulated CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression after 24 hours of incubation, whereas both 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B down-regulated CYP3A4mRNA expression after 96 hours of incubation; moreover, 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B inhibited CYP3A4 mRNA expression induced by rifampicin. Both 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L Sal B increased GST expression. CONCLUSION: Sal B inhibits CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression and induces GST expression in HepG2 cells.展开更多

The currently available neuroprotective drugs fail to achieve desired therapeutic efficacy mainly due to short circulation half-life and poor blood−brain barrier (BBB) permeability. For that, an edaravone-loaded pH/glutathione (pH/GSH) dual-responsive poly(amino acid) nanogel (NG/EDA) was developed to improve the neuroprotection of EDA. The nanogel was triggered by acidic and EDA-induced high-level GSH microenvironments, which enabled the selective and sustained release of EDA at the site of ischemic injury. NG/EDA exhibited a uniform sub-spherical morphology with a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 112.3 ± 8.2 nm. NG/EDA efficiently accumulated at the cerebral ischemic injury site of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) mice, showing an efficient BBB crossing feature. Notably, NG/EDA with 50 µM EDA significantly increased neuron survival (29.3%) following oxygen and glucose deprivation by inhibiting ferroptosis. In addition, administering NG/EDA for 7 d significantly reduced infarct volume to 22.2% ± 7.2% and decreased neurobehavioral scores from 9.0 ± 0.6 to 2.0 ± 0.8. Such a pH/GSH dual-responsive nanoplatform might provide a unique and promising modality for neuroprotection in ischemic stroke and other central nervous system diseases.
文摘Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) separation of four acidic drugs similar in structure was studied. Both anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonionic surfactant Tween 20 were used to form single micelles and mixed micelles as pseudostationary phases. The effects of the composition of micellar solution on retention behaviors were studied. The results indicate that there is markedly different selectivity among SDS, Tween 20 and the mixed micelles systems.
文摘Objectives.To observe if lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)can influence nuclear nucleoside triphos-phatase(NTPase)activity of isolated hepatocyte from rat,and to investigate the possible mechanisms by which LPA affects the NTPase.Method.Isolated and cultured hepatocytes from rat liver were exposed to LPA(1×10 -9 ,1×10 -8 and5×10 -8 mol/L)with or without inhibitors of protein kinase C(PKC)and mitogen activating protein kinase kinase(MAPKK),and the NTPase activity on nuclear envelope was assayed using ATP and GTP as substrate,respectively.Results.Nuclear NTPase activity of rat hepatocytes was potently stimulated by incubation of hepato-cytes with LPA in concentration?and time ?dependent manners.In hepatocytes incubated with LPA,nu-clear NTPase activity was significantly higher than that of the control(P<0.01).In hepatocytes preincu-bated with PKC inhibitor H-7or MAPKK inhibitor PD98059,LPA-stimulated activation of nuclear NT-Pase was obviously attenuated.In addition,direct incubation of isolated hepatic nuclei with LPA had no effect on nuclear NTPase activity.Conclusion.LPA is involved in modulating nuclear NTPase activity in hepatocytes.The stimulating effect of LPA on the nuclear NTPase is mediated at least partly by PKC and MAPK-dependent pathway.

文摘The in vitro antibacterial activities of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid alone or combined with first-line antituberculosis drugs including isoniazid(INH),rifampicin(RFP) and streptomycin(SM) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis were detected using MABA method.The minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of18β-glycyrrhetinic acid against M.tuberculosis H37Rv(ATCC 27294) and M.bovis(ATCC 19210) were 50 and 100 μg/m L,respectively.The MICs of two clinical drug-susceptible isolates and six drug-resistant isolates were 25-50 and 100-200 μg/m L,respectively.As 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid combined with INH,RFP and SM,they exhibited synergistic effects against six drug-resistant isolates,and MICs decreased significantly:MIC of INH decreased by 2-32 folds(FICIs 0.125-0.375);MIC of RFP decreased by 4-8 folds(FICIs 0.240-0.490);MIC of SM decreased by 4-16 folds(FICIs 0.165-0.460).Traditional medicine monomer had low cytotoxicity on normal cell BHK-21 and could restraint SMMC fission.The results showed that 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid combined with anti-TB drugs(INH,RFP and SM) had good antibacterial activity against M.tuberculosis.These findings indicated that 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid might serve as the potential therapeutic compound for future development of anti-TB drugs.
文摘Date Rape Drugs are the members of tranquilizers and sedative class of drugs.These are the substances that make it easier for someone to rape or assault sexually.The person who is administrated by these drugs can cause sleepiness,slow breathing,slow heartbeat rate,trouble in muscle coordination,loss of consciousness.GHB(gamma-hydroxybutyric acid),Rohypnol(flunitrazepam),Ketamine are generally considered as date rape drugs.As Food and Drug Administration Department of Central Government of India considered this issue and placed these drugs under the schedule of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.Thereafter it is nearly impossible to get these drugs easily.But criminals have been searched new way through it.Normal tranquilizers and sedatives are also being used for committing such crimes.These drugs are also scheduled,but one can get them with prescription from a registered medical practitioner.So we carried out a comparative study of 3 tranquilizers from the benzodiazepine class that are Diazepam,Alprazolam,and Librium to check their dissolving rate in stomach acid.Estimation of action time of drug can help an investigator to identify the class of drug and time of drug injected(early phase).In our study,we found that the dissolving period of Diazepam and Alprazolam is more than conventional drugs.
文摘The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of adenylic acid (adenosine 5-monophosphate;AMP), a known nutritional enhancer, on inhibiting the bitterness of antipsychotic medicines administered to patients with mental illnesses, including children. First, we chose four antipsychotic medicines, amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMT), chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ), haloperidol (HPD) and risperidone (RIS) and evaluated the inhibition of their bitterness by AMP through taste sensor measurements. AMP showed a significant bitterness inhibition effect on all drugs. Second, MarvinSketch analysis revealed the potential formation of electrostatic interactions between ionic forms (IV) of AMP and ionic (cationic) forms of each drug, which resulted in bitterness suppression. Third, chemical shift perturbations in 1H-NMR studies suggested an interaction between the phosphate group of AMP and amino group of AMT, CPZ, HPD and RIS. Last, conventional elution experiments of up to 1 min simulating oral cavity conditions were performed for 1 whole AMT tablet, half AMT tablet, crushed half AMT tablet, and crushed AMT tablet containing AMP powder/solution (1, 3 mM potency). The taste sensor output values of the crushed AMT tablet containing AMP powder/solution (1, 3 mM potency) were significantly lower than those of the crushed tablet.

文摘BACKGROUND: Enzymes involved in drug and xenobiotic metabolism have been considered to exist in two groups: phase I and phase II enzymes. Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (CYPs) are the most important phase I enzymes in the metabolism of xenobiotics. The products of phase I metabolism are then acted upon by phase II enzymes, including glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Herbs that inhibit CYPs such as CYP3A4 or that induce GSTs may have the potential to protect against chemical carcinogenesis since the mutagenic effects of carcinogens are often mediated through an excess of CYP-generated reactive intermediates. This study was designed to investigate the effects of salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a pure compound extracted from Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, a Chinese herb, on cell proliferation and CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 mRNA expression in the presence or absence of rifampicin, a potent inducer of CYPs and GST protein expression in HepG2 cells. METHODS: HepG2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of Sal B. Cell proliferation was determined by SYTOX-Green nucleic acid staining. CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression was assayed by real-time PCR. GST protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Low concentrations of Sal B (0-20 μmol/L) had no significant effects on cell proliferation, while higher concentrations (100-250 μmol/L) significantly inhibited proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Ten μmol/L Sal B, but not 1 μmol/L, down-regulated CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression after 24 hours of incubation, whereas both 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B down-regulated CYP3A4mRNA expression after 96 hours of incubation; moreover, 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B inhibited CYP3A4 mRNA expression induced by rifampicin. Both 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L Sal B increased GST expression. CONCLUSION: Sal B inhibits CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression and induces GST expression in HepG2 cells.
