灯盏乙素介入IP3R-Ca2+途径抑制β淀粉样蛋白诱导的神经细胞凋亡

目的：观察灯盏乙素（Scu）对β淀粉样蛋白（Aβ）诱导的细胞模型中1，4，5-三磷酸肌醇受体（IP₃R）-Ca²⁺途径的影响，探讨其在阿尔茨海默病（AD）病程中可能发挥的积极作用。方法：选用神经母细胞瘤细胞分为对照组、Scu处理组、Aβ处理组、Aβ+Scu （高、中、低）处理组及Aβ+IP₃R拮抗剂组，用CCK-8法筛选药物浓度并检测各组细胞生存率；用酶联免疫吸附法检测各组细胞中1，4，5-三磷酸肌醇（IP₃）的含量；用蛋白印迹和实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应方法检测各组细胞IP₃R和凋亡相关因子Caspase-3、Bcl-2、Bax的蛋白及mRNA的表达水平；用激光共聚焦显微镜观察各组细胞内Ca²⁺浓度的变化；用AnnexinV/PI双染法测定各组细胞的凋亡率。结果：与对照组和Scu处理组相比，Aβ处理组细胞存活率下降，IP₃含量升高，IP₃R、Bax和Caspase-3的蛋白及mRNA表达上调，Bcl-2蛋白及mRNA的表达下调，细胞胞浆内Ca²⁺浓度及细胞凋亡率升高；Aβ+Scu处理组细胞中各检测指标的变化与Aβ处理组的结果正好相反，IP₃R通道下游指标的变化与Aβ+IP₃R拮抗剂组基本一致。结论：Scu能够下调通路蛋白IP₃、IP₃R的表达，抑制Aβ介导的Ca²⁺内流所致的细胞凋亡，可能通过对IP₃R-Ca²⁺途径的调控来影响AD病程。     

Biopharmaceutics classification and intestinal absorption of chikusetsusaponin IVa

The objective of this study was to investigate the absorption behavior of chikusetsusaponin IVa (CHS‐IVa) in the rat intestine using single‐pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) and to classify CHS‐IVa into the biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS). The equilibrium solubility of CHS‐IVa was determined by the shaker method. The absorption mechanism of CHS‐IVa in the intestine was studied by comparing the P_eff of different concentrations of CHS‐IVa. The intestinal site dependence of CHS‐IVa absorption was studied by comparing the P_eff of the same concentration of CHS‐IVa in different intestinal segments. The relationship between CHS‐IVa and intestinal efflux protein was studied by perfusion with an efflux protein inhibitor. The permeability of CHS‐IVa was investigated by comparing the P_eff of CHS‐IVa and the reported value. The solubility of CHS‐IVa over the pH range 1.0–7.5 was 14.4 ± 0.29 to 16.9 ± 0.34 mg/ml. The P_eff of CHS‐IVa in the duodenum was 1.76 × 10^?3 to 2.00 × 10^?3 cm/min. The P_eff of CHS‐IVa in the jejunum was 1.26 × 10^?3 to 1.39 × 10^?3 cm/min. The P_eff of CHS‐IVa in the ileum was 1.25 × 10^?3 to 1.31 × 10^?3 cm/min. The P_eff of CHS‐IVa in the colon was 1.02 × 10^?3 to 1.08 × 10^?3 cm/min. There was no statistical difference of the P_eff in the four segments at different CHS‐IVa concentrations. The P_eff of CHS‐IVa (0.07, 0.7 and 7.0 mg/ml) were all notably smaller than the reported P_eff (3.00 × 10^?3 cm/min) in the jejunum. The P_eff of CHS‐IVa was not influenced by verapamil (P‐gp inhibitor), indomethacin (MRP inhibitor) and pantoprazole (BCRP inhibitor). CHS‐IVa was classified as high solubility, low permeability and BCS III. The main absorptive tracts were the upper intestinal tracts and the rank order of intestinal permeability was duodenum > jejunum ≈ ileum > colon. The transport mechanism of CHS‐IVa in all intestinal segments might be primarily passive transport. CHS‐IVa was not a substrate of P‐gp, MRP and BCRP.

Pharmacokinetic profile of tamsulosin OCAS

The tamsulosin oral‐controlled absorption system (OCAS®) is a new tablet formulation of the α₁‐adrenoceptor (α₁‐AR) antagonist tamsulosin, which is used for treating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The tablet uses the OCAS technology, which was specifically designed to give a more continuous 24‐h release of tamsulosin, resulting in a more consistent and continuous 24‐h plasma concentration, a lower maximum plasma concentration (C_max) and an independence of pharmacokinetics (PKs) on food intake. It was expected that the improved PK profile would translate into a better control of day‐ and night‐time symptoms of BPH and a lower risk of adverse events. Phase I PK studies showed that tamsulosin OCAS indeed has a flattened PK profile with a lower C_max and a more stable and consistent 24‐h concentration of tamsulosin, independent of food intake, compared to conventional tamsulosin. A study combining γ‐scintigraphy and PK analysis of blood samples confirmed that the improved PK profile of tamsulosin OCAS is attributed to the tablet being consistently and continuously released throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the colon.

Preclinical Drug Metabolism in the Age of High-Throughput Screening: An Industrial Perspective

With the advent of genomics, combinatorial paradigms and high-throughput screen (HTS)-based pharmacological testing, the number of compounds flowing through the discovery pipeline is likely to escalate. At the same time, with increased knowledge of the human drug-metabolizing enzymes and the availability of in vitro absorption-metabolism (AM) models, Preclinical Drug Metabolism is poised to meet the challenges of HTS. In order to be successful, however, a rational HTS strategy (vs. serendipitous HTS) has to be employed. Such a strategy is based on automation, validation and integration of in vitroAM models and database management (AVID). A generalized strategy for rational (AVID-based) HTS in Preclinical Drug Metabolism is described briefly.     

Stereoselectivity of actions of the calcium sensitizer [+]-EMD 60263 and its enantiomer [-]-EMD 60264

The thiadiazinone derivative [+]-EMD 60263 ((+)-5-(1-(α-ethylimino-3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroquinoline-6-yl)-6-methyl-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3,4 -thiadiazine-2-on) is a Ca²⁺-sensitizing agent with only minor phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity. Our aim was to characterize the inotropic and electrophysiological effects of [+]-EMD 60263 and its enantiomer [-]-EMD 60264 in several cardiac muscle preparations. The Ca²⁺-sensitizing activity resided in the [+]-enantiomer only. [+]-EMD 60263 (3 μM) shifted the EC₅₀ of Ca²⁺ for contractile activation of skinned fibers of pig heart from 2.41 μM to 0.73 μM, whereas [-]-EMD 60264 (30 μM) was ineffective. In Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts, [+]-EMD 60263 and [-]-EMD 60264 induced concentration-dependent positive and negative inotropic effects, respectively; both enantiomers reduced spontaneous heart rate but did not influence perfusion pressure. The maximum increase in force of human atrial trabeculae was 35 % of pre-drug control with [+]-EMD 60263 in comparison to 113 % with forskolin. In guinea-pig papillary muscles, [+]-EMD 60263 and [-]-EMD 60264 had opposite inotropic responses, however, both agents similarly prolonged action potential duration. Both enantiomers concentration-dependently blocked the rapidly activating component I_Kr of the delayed rectifier in guinea-pig myocytes. The block saturated at potentials positive to +30 mV, closely resembling the effects of the antiarrhythmic agent E-4031 which had been originally used to define I_Kr. It is concluded, that the positive inotropic action of [+]-EMD 60263 can be explained by prevalence of the Ca²⁺-sensitizing effect. The accompanying prolongation in action potential duration is caused by block of the I_Kr component of the delayed rectifier. While the inotropic effects are stereoselective, most of the electrophysiological actions are clearly independent of sterical configuration. The combination of Ca²⁺-sensitizing with class-III antiarrhythmic action may provide an interesting pharmacological profile of potential therapeutic use.
