ABSTRACT

Piroxicam has polymorphism. Different crystalline forms can exhibit different physicochemical properties and biological activities. Analysis of the intermolecular interactions is essential to reveal the formation mechanism and differences of polymorphs. In this paper, Hirshfeld surface analysis and semi-empirical methods were used to calculate and analyze the intermolecular interactions in seven polymorphic forms of piroxicam. The results show that the Hirshfeld surface analysis method can clearly and intuitively reveal the intermolecular interactions, among which H…H, O…H/H…O and N…H/H…N interactions account for 95% of the total energy. There are differences in the proportion and distribution of the forces of different crystal forms. The energy calculation shows that the lattice energy of the hydrate is significantly lower than that of the anhydrous forms, and in the specific energy distribution, the contribution of the dispersion force is the most prominent. Further interaction energy analysis was found that within the distance of 3.8 Å from the center of the piroxicam molecule, different crystalline forms of piroxicam molecule have different interaction energies with surrounding molecules.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the effect of anti-fibrotic tetrapeptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (Ac-SDKP) on phosphorylated heat shock protein 27 (P-HSP27) and zinc finger family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAI1) expression to explore the anti-silicosis fibrosis effect of Ac-SDKP. Methods: In December 2014, the rat silicosis animal model was prepared by one-time bronchial infusion of silicon dioxide (SiO(2)) dust. 80 SPF healthy adult Wistar rats were selected, and the rats were divided into 8 groups according to the random number table method, 10 in each group. Model control group for 4 weeks (feeding for 4 weeks) , model control group for 8 weeks (feeding for 8 weeks) : bronchial perfusion with normal saline 1.0 ml per animal. Silicosis model group for 4 weeks (feeding for 4 weeks) and silicosis model group for 8 weeks (feeding for 8 weeks) : bronchial perfusion of 50 mg/ml SiO(2) suspension 1.0 ml per animal. Ac-SDKP administration group for 4 weeks (feeding for 4 weeks) , Ac-SDKP administration group for 8 weeks (feeding for 8 weeks) : Ac-SDKP 800 μg·kg(-1)·d(-1) was administered by intraperitoneal pump. Ac-SDKP preventive treatment group: 48 h after Ac-SDKP 800 μg·kg(-1)·d(-1) administration, bronchial perfusion of SiO(2) suspension 1.0 ml per animal, raised for 8 weeks. Ac-SDKP anti-fibrosis treatment group: after bronchial perfusion of 1.0 ml of SiO(2) suspension for 4 weeks, Ac-SDKP 800 μg·kg(-1)·d(-1) was administered for 4 weeks. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of P-HSP27, SNAI1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) , and collage typeⅠ and Ⅲ in each group. The expression of P-HSP27 and SNAI1 was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the co-localized expression of P-HSP27 and α-SMA was detected by laser confocal microscopy. Results: Compared with the model control group, the expressions of P-HSP27, SNAI1, α-SMA, and collage typeⅠ and Ⅲ in the silicosis fibrosis area of the rats in the silicosis model group were enhanced, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . After Ac-SDKP intervention, compared with silicosis model group for 8 weeks, the expressions of P-HSP27, SNAI1 α-SMA, and collage typeⅠ and Ⅲ in the Ac-SDKP preventive and anti-fibrosis treatment groups were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . However, the expressions of P-HSP27 SNAI1, and collage typeⅠ and Ⅲ between the Ac-SDKP administration group and the model control group did not change significantly, and the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05) . Laser confocal results showed that the positive cells expressing P-HSP27 and α-SMA in the lung tissue of the silicosis model group were more than those in the model control group. Compared with the silicosis model group, the Ac-SDKP prevention and anti-fibrosis treatment groups expressing the positive cells of P-HSP27 and α-SMA decreased. Compared with the model control group for 8 weeks, there were some double-positive cells expressing P-HSP27 and α-SMA in the nodules of the silicosis model group for 8 weeks. Conclusion: Ac-SDKP may play an anti-silicic fibrosis effect by regulating the P-HSP27/SNAI1 pathway.

ABSTRACT

Berberine is a naturally occurring benzylisoquinoline alkaloid with a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as antibacterial, anticancer, hypolipidemic, antidiabetic and antidiarrheal. Although berberine has a wide range of curative effects, the extremely low bioavailability (< 1%) limits its clinical application. Pure berberine preparations have not yet been approved for any specific disease. The low oral bioavailability of berberine is mainly due to poor solubility caused by self-aggregation under acidic conditions, low permeability, P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux, and liver and intestine metabolism. To improve the oral bioavailability of berberine, researchers have adopted a variety of strategies, including the application of various nano-delivery systems, penetration enhancers and P-gp inhibitors, structural modifications, and development of berberine derivatives. Improving the oral bioavailability of berberine can improve the pharmacological activity of berberine, reduce the dosage, and then reduce the toxic and side effects. This review summarized the various pharmacological activities, metabolism progress and pharmacokinetic characteristics of berberine, the newly discovered berberine target intestinal microbiota and focused on the strategies to improve the oral bioavailability of berberine by improving solubility and permeability, inhibiting P-gp efflux, and structural modification. The research on berberine was prospected, which provided guidance for the in-depth study of berberine.

ABSTRACT

In order to solve the problems of erratic drug absorption and low bioavailability after oral administration for poorly-water soluble drugs due to low solubility, a series of novel pharmaceutical dosage forms as solid dispersion, liposome, microemulsion, vesicle, cyclodextrin inclusion complexes and drug nanocrystal have been developed in recent years. Among which drug nanocrystal attracts more attentions for its simpler preparation method, higher drug loading and easier manufacturing technology in the design of dosage forms suitable for different administration routes. In this paper, the nanocrystals of the poorly-water soluble drugs prepared based on bottom-up and top-down technologies were introduced. The characteristics and applications of the nanocrystal-based dosage forms as suspension, tablet and capsule were also introduced and carefully evaluated with the focus on their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and tissue targeted drug distribution after delivery by oral administration, intravenous injection and pulmonary inhalation. The advantages of drug nanocrystals in their therapeutics effects over the bulk drugs were discussed together with the inherent mechanism. Finally, the problems existing in basic research and scaled-up manufacture of drug nanocrystal as well as the possible ways of solution were listed out so as to make the nanocrystal-based preparations exert their maximum therapeutic effect after clinical application.

ABSTRACT

Four salts of ticagrelor, ticagrelor-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, ticagrelor-pyrazinamide, ticagrelor-D-proline and ticagrelor-L-proline were prepared by solvent suspension and liquid-assisted grinding to improve the solubility of ticagrelor. The compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and the intermolecular salt-bonding forces were analyzed. The equilibrium solubility of salts and pure drug in hydrochloride buffer pH 1.2 and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Ticagrelor was salted with 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, pyrazinamide, D-proline, L-proline all in a stoichiometric ratio of 1∶1; with the exception of ticagrelor-D-proline, the solubility of the other three salts provided significantly improved solubility in hydrochloride buffer pH 1.2, and the equilibrium solubility of ticagrelor-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid was increased by approximately 1.7 folds as compared to pure drug. Salt-forming technology is convenient and can improve the solubility of ticagrelor.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To detect whether Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4) polymorphisms contributed to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in a Chinese population. Methods:A Chinese cohort, including 799 unrelated POAG patients and 799 unrelated controls, was enrolled in our case-control association study. The data was collected at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from May 2014 to March 2018. TLR4 functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs4986790 and rs4986791, were genotyped by SNaPshot method. Genotype and allele frequencies of the two SNPs were evaluated. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (No.2016-58), and complied with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consents were obtained from all subjects prior to the study. Results:Allelic association analysis revealed that there were no significant association detected in the allelic distributions between the POAG cases and controls for SNPs rs4986790 ( P=0.317) and rs4986791 ( OR=1.000, 95% CI =0.062 5-16.002 2, P=1.000) in the TLR4 gene. Conditional analysis of the two SNPs did not show any significant difference in genotype and allele frequency between the case and the control groups. No association of the two SNPs with POAG was detected under four different genetic models, including homozygote, heterozygote, dominant and recessive models. Conclusions:Polymorphisms rs4986790 and rs4986791 in the TLR4 gene are not related to POAG in the Chinese cohort.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To detect mutations of fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene in two pedigrees affected with Marfan syndrome (MFS).@*WETHODS@#Peripheral blood samples were collected from MFS patients and their healthy family members for extracting genomic DNA. All of the 65 exons of the FBN1 gene were analyzed by next-generation sequencing. PolyPhen-2 and SIFT was used to predict structural and functional changes in FBN1 protein.@*RESULTS@#Patients from both pedigrees presented ocular and skeletal manifestations suggestive of MFS. Two novel heterozygous mutations of the FBN1 gene, including c.1879C>T (p.R627C) in exon 16 and c.2584T>C (p.C862R) in exon 22, were identified. The same mutations were not found among unaffected members. By bioinformatic analysis, the mutations may affect the structure and function of the FBN1 protein.@*CONCLUSION@#The c.1879C>T and c.2584T>C mutations of the FBN1 gene probably account for the disease in the two pedigrees, respectively. Identification of the c.2584T>C has enriched the spectrum of FBN1 gene mutations.

ABSTRACT

Objective:Immunoregulation study of umbilical mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSCs) on allogeneic umbilical cord blood(UCB) CD4+T lymphocytes,which proliferation,apoptosis and the differentiation to CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell (Treg) in vitro. Methods:Establishing on direct contact or transwell co-culture system,adopt in different proportion of UCMCs with phytohaemag-glutinin (PHA)-activated UCB CD4+T lymphocytes were co-cultured. The proliferation of lymphocyte,percent of CD4+CD25+/CD4+and Foxp3 expression, regulatory T cell marker gene were measured. Apoptosis of CD4+T lymphocytes were observed in the direct contact or transwell coculture system of UCMSCs with desamethason( DXM)-stimulated UCB CD4+T lymphocytes. Results: The UCB CD4+T lymphocytes cocultured with UCMSCs with PHA-activating for 3 days,compared with the UCMSCs free control group,the amount of cells was reduced noticeably(P<0. 05) and the percent of CD4+CD25+in CD4+T lymphocytes and Foxp3 expression significantly in-creased(P<0. 01) in a dose dependent way(P<0. 05). The UCB CD4+T lymphocytes cocultured with UCMSCs with DXM-inducing for 7 days,the apoptosis rate was significantly lower than that of the control group without UCMSCs (P<0. 01). These effects were partially attenuated in transwell coculture but could not be eliminated. Conclusion: UCMSCs are negative effect on UCB CD4+T lymphocytes-mediated immunity effects,and mainly manifested in the regulation on cell proliferate ability and differentiation rather than promoting apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:As current studies on isolation, culture andcryopreservation of human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) are relatively scattered, it is difficult to form a comprehensive and effective solution to meet the clinical needs of stem cells for transplantation in future.OBJECTIVE:To establish the technology of isolation, culture and cryopreservation of hAECs, and to study the biological characteristics of hAECs.METHODS:Orthogonal method was used to study the effects of different factors on the separation, culture and cryopreservation, and range method was adopted to analyze the data to optimize the separation, culture and cryopreservation. We performed cell primary and passage cultures, morphology observed by microscope, drawn cell growth curve and flow cytometry assay, immunofluorescence staining, hepatocyte like cell differentiation to study the biological characteristics of hAECs.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The optimal hAECs separation conditions were as follows:trypsin digestions were conducted at a concentration of 0.25%, four times, once for 20 minutes digestion; optimal conditions of culture were 4×108/L cell seeding density, 10 μg/L epidermal growth factor, 5% serum; optimal conditions of cryopreservation were 1×1010/L cell cryopreservation density, 10% dimethyl sulfoxide, 80% serum. (2) The primary cells were adhered to the wall in 2-3 days, exhibiting irregular polygon, paving stone-like growth. Cell adherence and growth rate were accelerated after subculture, and the growth and proliferation ability of passage 2 cells were not significantly decreased after cryopreservation and resuscitation. (3) Immunofluorescence staining showed that the primary cells strongly expressed SSEA-4 and CK19, but did not express Vimentin, CD45 and HLA-DR. The immunophenotype statistics of the primary and passage 4 cells showed the epithelial mesenchymal transition of hAECs in culture process. (4) Immunofluorescence staining showed that the liver cell marker expression of ALB, CK18 was significantly increased after hAECs were induced to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells. Glycogen staining revealed glycogen synthesis in hAECs after 3 weeks of induction. To conclude, hAECs are easy to obtain and have strong proliferation ability in vitro, and express surface markers for undifferentiated embryonic stem cells.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of rheum(Chinese herbal medicine) preparation made by using ultrasonic technique on pro-inflammatory cytokines and sepsis in rats.In order to offer novel measure for the treatment of critically ill patients.Methods Firstly, rheum sterile solution was prepared through ultrasonic technique.Secondly, fifty healthy male SD rats were randomly(random number) divided to CLP group and rheum group.Moderate degree of sepsis model was established by using cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).Rats in group rheum received the liquid rheumpreparation via intragastric administration, while rats in group CLP received saline instead.The 7-day survival rate was recorded and was compared between two groups.In addition, another fifty-four rats were randomly(random number) divided to sham group, CLP group and rheum group(n=18 in each group).CLP was performed to induce sepsis in CLP group and rheum group.Then rats in rheum group received rheum sterile solution via intragastric administration, while rats in CLP group received saline instead.At 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after modeling, six rats in each group were randomly sacrificed.Serum TNF-α and HMGB1 levels were detected by ELISA method.Levels of RAGE, HMGB1 and NF-κB P65 in small intestine were detected by Western Blot.Results Level of anthraquinones extracted from rheum by ultrasonic technique was higher than that by conwentional decoction method.The 7-day survival rate of rats in rheum group(76%) was higher than that in CLP group(48%)(P0.05).At 24 hours and 48 hours after modeling, serum HMGB1 levels were significantly lower in rheum group than those in CLP group(P<0.05).Compared with sham group, protein levels of HMGB1, RAGE and NF-κB in small intestine were elevated in CLP group and rheum group at 48 hours after modeling(P<0.01), while protein levels of above biomarker were higher in CLP group than those in rheum group(P<0.05).Conclusions Rheum sterile solution could down-regulate the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, modulate the inflammatory response, and improve the survival rate in rats with sepsis.
