RESUMO
In this study, azvudine (FNC), hydrochloride salt of azvudine (FNC-HCl) and triphosphate azovudine (FNC-TP) were tested against DENV-Ⅱ recombinant virus (DENV-Ⅱ Luc+). The inhibitory activity of FNC, FNC-HCl and FNC-TP on DENVs were detected by plaque assay. The effect on the expression of DENV-Ⅱ envelope protein E was detected by Western blot; the inhibitory of DENV-Ⅱ viral RNA by compounds was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of the three compounds on Vero cells. The results showed that FNC, FNC-HCl and FNC-TP inhibited the viral replication by inhibition of renilla luciferase activity of DENV-Ⅱ Luc+. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) of FNC, FNC-HCl and FNC-TP in the inhibition of DENVs replication were from 0.54-25.42 μmol·L-1, while that of ribavirin was 40.78 ±1.02 μmol·L-1 as the positive control. Western blot and real time quantitative PCR results showed that FNC, FNC-HCl and FNC-TP significantly inhibited the expression of DENV-Ⅱ E protein, and the replication of DENV-Ⅱ viral RNA. The 50% cytotoxic concentrations of FNC, FNC-HCl and FNC-TP were all greater than 3 000.00 μmol·L-1. The results suggest that in vitro anti-DENVs activities of FNC, FNC-HCl and FNC-TP are superior to ribavirin, which are expected to become new candidates of anti-DENV drugs.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: How to promote the regeneration after peripheral nerve injury, especially after large defects, is a difficulty to be solved.OBJECTIVE: To review the mechanism of Wallerian degeneration and the development of nerve conduits.METHODS: PubMed database was searched for the literatures addressing the modular mechanism of Wallerian degeneration and nerve repair using the English keywords peripheral nerve regeneration, Wallerian degeneration, nerve guidance conduits. A total of 74 eligible literatures were included based on the exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Rat SARM1 and fruit fly dSARM have been found to be highly implicated in Wallerian degeneration, indicating that the changes of nicotinamide adenine nucleotide/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide may be related to the activated SARM1. Whether delaying Wallerian degeneration is good or bad is still in dispute. The future study should focus on the early inhibition of Wallerian degeneration and promotion of neuroregeneration following peripheral nerve injury.
RESUMO
Tepoxalin is a potent inhibitor of both the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of the arachidonic acid cascade, as well as a potent anti-inflammatory and control-pain (postoperation, arthritis et. al.) agent. The new method about the use of novel synthesis reagents and the first using ionic liquid as reactive solvent to synthesize tepoxalin were presented in this paper. The ionic liquid can be easily recycled and reused for several runs efficiently. The analgesic activity of tepoxalin was detected by acetic acid test on mice. The analysis of variance showed that oral administration of tepoxalin could significantly inhibit the number of writhing response within 1 hour and prolong the latent time in a dose dependent manner as compared with CMC control group (P < 0.05). At the same time, tepoxalin had the same analgesic activity as diclofenac sodium.
