[Mechanisms of the wound-healing action of native collagen type I in ischemic model full-thickness skin wounds on the example - medical devices Collost «(part I)]. / Mekhanizmy ranozazhivlyayushchego deistviya nativnogo kollagena I tipa v modeli ishemizirovannykh polnosloinykh ran kozhi na primere meditsinskogo izdeliya «Kollost¼. (Chast' I).

Active collagen type I successfully used in regenerative medicine. However, despite the large amount of material of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying skin repair, the molecular mechanisms of wound healing with use collagen type I, not studied enough. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To study the mechanism of the native collagen type I wound-healing action of native type I collagen on the example of the medical device Collost (7% gel) in a model of the rats difficult-to-heal skin wounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Male rats in population SD (72 individuals) surgically formed an ischemic dorsal skin flap (3×10 cm) with two full-thickness skin wounds 6 mm in diameter.The trained animals divided into 2 groups: in the experimental group, medical device Collost (gel) applied once after the operation, in the control group - a standard medical device for comparison. The dynamics of wound healing assessed, the number of M2 macrophages, myofibroblasts, vascularization and expression of the main markers of the repair process in the wound tissues and time points for assessment were: after 3, 7 and 14 days after operation using macroscopic, immunohistochemical, and molecular methods. RESULTS: It has been established that the mechanism of action of native collagen type I is associated with the acceleration of the appearance of «progenitorous¼ M2-macrophages in the wound tissues, decrease in the severity of inflammation or reduction in the duration of the inflammatory stage of the repair process, change in the expression spectrum of number of growth factors, an acceleration of neovasculogenesis. CONCLUSION: In this work, on the modern experimental model shown regenerative efficiency of a medical device based on collagen type I and described the molecular and cellular processes of wound healing when using it It has been shown that the acceleration of wound healing processes occurs when using a medical device based on native collagen type 1, it is also accompanied by a better aesthetic closure of the damaged skin area.

[The main results of clinical trials of the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of the perspective anti-tuberculosis drug makozinone (PBTZ169)].

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease, usually localized in the respiratory system and representing one of the most important global social and biomedical health problems associated with the spread of therapy-resistant forms (multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis). One of the most promising targets for the development of antimycobacterial drugs is the enzyme DprE1, which is involved in the synthesis of the cell wall of mycobacteria. In the series of DprE1 inhibitor drugs, the most advanced drug is PBTZ169 (INN maсozinone). Clinical trials (CT) of the efficacy and safety of macozinone are conducted by the pharmaceutical company LLC NEARMEDIC PLUS in the Russian Federation, and in other countries (Sponsors: Innovative Medicines for Tuberculosis Foundation, cole polytechnique fdrale de Lausanne and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). The publication describes results of completed I, IIa and Ib phases CT, conducted in the Russian Federation. AIM: The goal of phase I CT was to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PBTZ169, 40 mg capsule, after single and multiple administration under fasting conditions in increasing doses in healthy volunteers. The goal of phase IIa CT was to study the efficacy (in terms of early bactericidal activity EBA), safety and PK of the drug PBTZ169, 80 mg capsules, in various doses, when used as monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed respiratory tuberculosis with bacterial excretion and retained sensitivity to isoniazid and rifampicin. The purpose of phase Ib CT was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK of PBTZ169, 80 mg capsule, after single, double and multiple administration under fasting conditions in increasing doses, as well as the effect of food on its bioavailability in healthy volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data of 100 healthy volunteers and 15 patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis, who received the study medication PBTZ169, capsules 40 mg and 80 mg, in the dose range 40 mg 1280 mg of PBTZ169, obtained during phase I, IIa and Ib CTs were analyzed. During I phases CTs, safety, tolerability, and PK of the drug after a single and multiple administration under fasting condition and after meals at rising doses were evaluated. The safety assessment included evaluation of AE/SAE, vital signs, ECG results, and laboratory tests results in the safety population. In the course of phase IIa CT, in addition to safety, tolerance, and PK evaluation, the efficacy of the drug (in terms of EBA) using sputum culture on agar with CFU/ml counting (main method) and quantitative PCR method (auxiliary method) was evaluated. RESULTS: During all CTs, a high safety and tolerability profile was shown, the main PK parameters of the drug and the efficacy were described. PBTZ169 demonstrated linear PK in the dosage range up to 640 mg after single and multiple administration, a statistically significant of EBA of the drug after monotherapy at the dose of 640 mg/day was demonstrate, and it was concluded that the preferred regimen of the drug PBTZ169 intake is administration after meals. Good tolerability and a favorable safety profile of the drug in the studied doses range were demonstrate during all the CTs. CONCLUSION: One of the most promising and currently studied drugs-inhibitors of DprE1, a new target for the cell wall of mycobacteria, is PBTZ169 or macozinone, which is being develop by the Russian pharmaceutical company NEARMEDIC PLUS ltd.

[Effect of physicochemical properties on the pharmacokinetic parameters of the new representative of benzothiazinones antituberculosis drug macozinonе].

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide. Improvement of the treatment options via development of new drugs and treatment regimens that would be more convenient for patients is one of key options of improving the effecacy of the TB prevention and careis. Since the creation of new treatment regimens by minimizing the number of the drugs used and reducing the duration of treatment is the most promising and correct direction, macozinone, a new candidate of the benzothiazinone series, can become the basis for development of new chemotherapy regimens for drug-resistant forms of TB including the combination of macozinone with the most effective modern anti-TB drugs. AIM: Comparative evaluation of the pharmacokinetic properties of macozinone capsules 80 mg and the new dosage form a dispersible tablet for preparation of oral solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Solubility of the substance macozinone in biorelevant media in vitro, permeability of macozinone in the test Caco-2 in vitro, as well as pharmacokinetics of macozinone in dogs in vivo were evaluated. RESULTS: The solubility assessment in biorelevant media showed that the average limit of macozinone substance dissolution in the pH 5.0 acetate buffer solution was from 6 to 9 mg/l, in FaSSIF medium (fasted) from 2.5 to 4 mg/l, and in FeSSIF medium (after meals) from 16.8 to 29 mg/l. It is established that the cell permeability of the pharmaceutical substance macozinone in the CACO-2 test system is on average 2.510-6cm/s in the forward direction from the apical to basolateral cell membrane, and 1.510-6cm/s in the reverse direction, which corresponds to low permeability. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of macozinone dispersable tablets 160 mg, after dosing with food and on an empty stomach, as well as capsules 80 mg, when administered on an empty stomach in vivo studies in dogs are presented. DISCUSSION: The specific physicochemical properties of macozinone, the problems of developing the new dosage form, as well as ways of solving some of them are presented. CONCLUSION: In the process of new dosage forms development, the existing chemical properties of the macozinone substance should be considered. One of the promising ways of increasing bioavailability and, consiquently, efficacy is development a fundamentally new drug form with modified release within the absorption window.
