Aim

Listeria monocytogenes acts as a pathogen for humans and animals, mainly causing, neonatal sepsis, abortions in pregnant females and severe infections such as septicemia and meningoencephalitis in susceptible hosts. Current study was aimed to identify novel strains of L. monocytogenes from retail chicken, beef meat and seafood samples.

Methods

In order to identify the strain, extraction and amplification of genomic DNA, 16S rRNA sequence analysis was carried out. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using dnapars and dnaml available in Phylip. The secondary structures of 16S rRNA gene sequence were predicted using UNAFOLD, a Linux based software.

Results

The results obtained were found to be a novel foodborne pathogens, which was further named L. monocytogenes strain Pyde1 and L. monocytogenes strain Pyde2, after characterization the sequence of isolate was deposited in GenBank with accession numbers ‘KC852899’ and ‘KC852900’ respectively. The Gibb's free energy of the secondary structures of L. monocytogenes strain Pyde1 and Pyde2 were −275.60 and −282.20 kcal/mol seems to be more stable in the present investigation.

Conclusion

The described results of phylogenetic distinctiveness and phenotypic disparities indicate that strain 2b represents a novel strain of foodborne pathogens within L. monocytogenes species, for which the name L. monocytogenes strain Pyde1 and L. monocytogenes strain Pyde2 is proposed.

Aim

To develop a stability-indicating reversed phase ultra performance liquid chromatographic (RP-UPLC) method for the determination of related substances in Metoclopramide bulk drugs and pharmaceutical dosage form.

Method

The chromatographic separation was achieved using a Waters X-terra RP18 (150 × 4.6 mm), 3.5 μm particle size column using the gradient program with mobile phase consisting of solvent A: 30 mM monobasic sodium phosphate and 2.3 mM of pentane-1-sulphonic acid sodium salt (pH 3.0 buffer) and solvent-B (Acetonitrile). A flow rate of 1.2 mL/min and UV detector at 273 nm was used. The runtime was 18 min within which Metoclopramide and its four impurities, ACETYLMETO, ACMA, CLEE and ACME were well separated.

Results and discussion

The drug was subjected to stress conditions such as oxidative, acid & base hydrolysis, thermal and photolytic degradation. Metoclopramide was found to degrade significantly in photolytic, oxidative & thermal stress conditions and stable in acid, base, hydrolytic & humidity stress conditions. The major degradation impurities in oxidation and photolytic degradation were identified by LCMS. The degradation products were well resolved from the main peak and its impurities, thus proved the stability-indicating power of the method.

Conclusion

The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision and robustness. The calibration curves obtained for the four impurities were linear over the range 0.062–3.040 μg/mL.

目的建立稳定指示反相超高效液相色谱法(RP-UPLC)测定甲氧氯普胺原料药及制剂中有关物质的方法。方法采用Waters X-terra RP18 (150 × 4.6 mm)， 3.5 μm粒径柱，梯度分离，流动相为溶剂a: 30 mm一碱磷酸钠，2.3 mm戊烷-1-磺酸钠盐(pH 3.0缓冲液)和溶剂b(乙腈)。流速为1.2 mL/min，紫外检测器波长为273 nm。运行时间为18 min，甲氧氯普胺及其4种杂质ACETYLMETO、ACMA、CLEE和ACME分离效果良好。结果与讨论该药物经受氧化、酸、酸等应激条件;碱水解，热和光解降解。发现甲氧氯普胺在光解、氧化和氧化中降解显著;在酸、碱、水解等热应力条件下稳定;湿度压力条件。利用LCMS对氧化和光解降解中的主要降解杂质进行了鉴定。降解产物较好地从主峰及其杂质中分离出来，证明了该方法的稳定性指示能力。结论该方法在特异性、线性度、检出限、定量限、准确度、精密度、鲁棒性等方面均符合ICH标准。4种杂质在0.062 ~ 3.040 μg/mL范围内均呈线性关系。

Background/objectives

Captopril, "an ACE inhibitor" has comparatively short elimination half life and its oxidation rate in dermal homogenate is significantly lower than that in intestinal homogenate. So as to enhance the bioavailability and to reduce the difficulties associated with captopril, it is decided to design a transdermal drug delivery system for this drug. So the objective of this present work is to formulate and evaluate the matrix type transdermal drug delivery systems of captopril, with different polymer combinations and penetration enhancers.

Methods

Eight formulations (F1–F8) were prepared by the solvent casting technique using varying proportions of polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, along with the permeation enhancers such as menthol and aloe vera at different concentrations.

Results

The FTIR results showed no abnormal peaks and thus concluded that no incompatibility between the drug and polymers. The skin irritation studies were performed on rabbits, the results showed no noticeable skin reactions, pointed out the compatibility of drug as well as polymer matrix with the skin. The uniformity of drug content was evidenced by low standard deviation (S.D) values. High folding endurance (>280) revealed that the prepared films have good flexibility. The weight of patches were uniform and thickness varied from 0.05 to 0.13 mm. Ex vivo permeation studies through excised rat skin were carried out using modified Franz diffusion cell, and the results showed that film (F6) containing HPMC and PEG 400 (1:1) with menthol as a permeation enhancer demonstrated the highest drug permeation (90.04%) at 24 h (p < 0.05) with the transdermal flux of 54.5 μg/cm²/h.

Conclusions

The formulation coded as F6 was found to be the ideal patch, shown the maximum drug permeation of 90.04% at the end of 24 h followed Higuchi diffusion kinetics.

背景/目的“ACE抑制剂”escaptopril的消除半衰期较短，其在真皮匀浆中的氧化速率明显低于在肠道匀浆中的氧化速率。为了提高卡托普利的生物利用度，减少卡托普利给药的困难，我们决定设计一种卡托普利经皮给药系统。因此，本研究的目的是通过不同的聚合物组合和渗透促进剂来制备和评价卡托普利的基质型透皮给药系统。方法采用溶剂铸造技术，采用羟丙基甲基纤维素(HPMC)、聚乙二醇(PEG) 400等不同配比的聚合物，以及不同浓度的薄荷醇和芦荟等渗透促进剂，制备了f1 ~ f8 8个配方。结果FTIR无异常峰，药物与聚合物不存在不相容性。对家兔进行皮肤刺激实验，未见明显的皮肤反应，说明药物及聚合物基质与皮肤的相容性良好。标准偏差(sd)值低，证明了药物含量的均匀性。高的折叠耐久性(>280)表明制备的薄膜具有良好的柔韧性。斑块重量均匀，厚度在0.05 ~ 0.13 mm之间。采用改良的Franz扩散池对大鼠皮肤进行体外渗透研究，结果表明，以薄荷醇为渗透促进剂，含HPMC和PEG 400(1:1)的膜(F6)在24 h时的药物渗透率最高(90.04%)(p <0.05)，透皮通量为54.5 μg/cm2/h。结论F6为理想贴剂，24 h时药物最大透度为90.04%，符合Higuchi扩散动力学。

Aim

Drugs in breast cancer treatment suffer resistance and drug efflux from ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporter protein. Drugs inhibiting BCRP suffer activity alteration due to sequence variants. It is imperative to investigate role of mutant variants using structure based aspects of drug binding.

Method

In present work, we included single nucleotide polymorphisms like F208S, S248P and F431L in BCRP structure and evaluated their role in alteration of drug binding affinities using computational approaches. Comparative modeling of BCRP 3D structure was achieved using various tools available followed by structure validation. Mutagenesis and its impact by SNPs was attained in 3D structure of BCRP. A set of selected and established BCRP inhibitors were further docked into binding site to record the drug resistance in mutant variants.

Results

Nucleotide binding (NB) domain (258 AA) and transmembrane (TM) domain (291 AA) of BCRP were modeled separately and assembled together to generate a single structure. Ramachandran Plot confirmed quality of modeled structures along with main chain and side chain parameters. Mutagenesis included three main variants (F208S, S248P and F431L) using Triton program. Molecular docking results showed inhibitor CID_25223199 binding effectively to wild and F431L mutant structure of BCRP while inhibitors CID_25223002 to F208S and CID_119373 to S248P.

Conclusion

Distortion in spatial arrangement of amino acids in BCRP protein due to mutations led to low efficacy in drug response with respect to wild isoform. Results of present work demand to probe pharmacogenomic aspects in drug development efforts for breast cancer.

目的治疗乳腺癌的药物存在atp结合盒(ABC)外排转运蛋白的耐药和药物外排。抑制BCRP的药物由于序列变异而发生活性改变。利用基于结构的药物结合方面来研究突变变体的作用是必要的。方法在BCRP结构中纳入F208S、S248P和F431L等单核苷酸多态性，利用计算方法评价其在药物结合亲和力改变中的作用。利用各种可用的工具实现BCRP三维结构的比较建模，然后进行结构验证。在BCRP的三维结构中获得了snp的诱变及其影响。将一组选定并建立的BCRP抑制剂进一步停靠到结合位点，记录突变变体的耐药性。结果BCRP的核苷酸结合(NB)结构域(258 AA)和跨膜结构域(TM)结构域(291 AA)分别建模并组装成单一结构。Ramachandran图通过主链和侧链参数验证了模型结构的质量。利用Triton程序诱变包括F208S、S248P和F431L三个主要变异体。分子对接结果显示，抑制剂CID_25223199与BCRP野生型和F431L突变体结构有效结合，抑制剂CID_25223002与F208S结合，CID_119373与S248P结合。结论与野生亚型相比，突变导致BCRP蛋白氨基酸空间排列扭曲，导致药物疗效较低。目前的工作结果需要探索药物基因组学方面的乳腺癌药物开发工作。

Aim

In the present study ten dibenzothiazepines with a methylene bridge between tricyclic nucleus and the substituent at C-11 were synthesized in order to investigate their antipsychotic activity. Some of the derivatives showed significant activity.

Methods

The title compounds were synthesized by condensation of 11-piperazinyl-dibenzothiazepine with the substituted benzyl halides in presence of triethylamine and 1,4-dioxane. The structures of the derivatives were elucidated by spectral analysis. The antipsychotic activity of the synthesized derivatives was evaluated using haloperidol induced catalepsy and lithium induced head twitches.

Results

In SSP-9 treated group, maximum catalepsy was noted 30 min after haloperidol. Lithium induced 40.2 ± 1.655 head twitches in 1 h. Clozapine (5 mg per kg) and SSP-9 (5 mg per kg) reduced the number of head twitches to 10 ± 0.7071 and 14.8 ± 0.8602, respectively.

Conclusion

The results demonstrated that the derivative SSP-9 possesses significant in vitro antipsychotic activity when compared with standard clozapine. Therefore, compound SSP-9 prototype could be considered as novel antipsychotic agent for further developing new atypical antipsychotics.

Background

Cancer causes death to over 7.6 million people every year. The disease can be classified as cells' uncontrolled division. This uncontrolled division of cells or uncontrolled growth is caused by DNA damage. This eventually results in genes mutations, which encodes cell division controlling proteins. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is one among the principal targets for the anticancer drugs.

Methods

Molecular docking studies of nearly 60 Trichostatin A, SuberoylAnilide Hydroxamic Acid and Sulfonamide anilides which show good inhibitory activity against HDAC were carried out using GLIDE program of Schrödinger Suite 2009. Comparison of docking scores of the compounds with their respective QSAR IC₅₀ have also been made.

Results

From Trichostatin A and SuberoylAnilide Hydroxamic Acid analogues binding results, it was found that HDAC conformational changes are based on the ligand binding. C/N/O atoms present in the aliphatic chains of the analogues interacted well with the Zn²⁺ metal ion and active site amino acid residues to disrupt the enzymatic activity of target protein HDAC.

Conclusion

Analogue inhibition taken into study with the target protein HDAC assures to be an advantageous therapeutic approach in cancer treatment.

癌症每年导致超过760万人死亡。这种疾病可归类为细胞不受控制的分裂。这种不受控制的细胞分裂或不受控制的生长是由DNA损伤引起的。这最终导致基因突变，从而编码控制细胞分裂的蛋白质。组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAC)是抗癌药物的主要靶点之一。方法利用Schrödinger Suite 2009的GLIDE软件对近60种对HDAC具有良好抑制活性的曲古霉素A、亚羟肟酸和磺胺类苯胺进行分子对接研究。并将化合物的对接分数与其QSAR IC50进行了比较。结果从曲古霉素A与亚羟肟酸类似物的结合结果中发现，HDAC的构象变化是以配体结合为基础的。类似物的脂肪链上的C/N/O原子与Zn2+金属离子和活性位点氨基酸残基相互作用良好，破坏靶蛋白HDAC的酶活性。结论利用靶蛋白HDAC进行类似物抑制研究，有望成为治疗肿瘤的有效途径。

Aim

Printed education materials are often used to augment healthcare professional's verbal information to consumers so it serves as an important component of symptom management. They also enhance the teaching process and can be used by consumers as a home reference. This study was aimed to interpret consumers' perception on Consumer Medical Information Leaflets (CMILs) on obesity and lipid lowering drugs, according to the standard formulae such as Flesch Reading Ease (FRE), Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (FK-GL).

Method

The study was conducted over a period of 3 years in community pharmacy settings in Tamil Nadu, India. CMILs were interpreted by using the formulae such as Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) and Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (FK-GL). Among the 1800 consumers, 300 consumers were excluded from the study due to lack of interest.

Results

Data revealed the consumer's perception on readability of Consumer Medical Information Leaflets on obesity and lipid lowering drugs based consumers rating.

Conclusions

Pharmaceutical companies (leaflets providers) are not taking the reading level of consumers into consideration which may not achieve the intended purpose. There is a need for developing CMILs having good readability score according to Indian set up.

目的打印的教育材料通常用于增加医疗保健专业人员的口头信息给消费者，因此它是症状管理的重要组成部分。它们还可以提高教学过程，并可被消费者用作家庭参考。本研究旨在以Flesch Reading Ease (FRE)、Flesch - kincaid Grade Level (FK-GL)等标准配方，解读消费者对《消费者医疗信息手册》(CMILs)中减肥降脂药物的认知。方法在印度泰米尔纳德邦的社区药房进行为期3年的研究。使用Flesch Reading Ease (FRE)和Flesch - kincaid Grade Level (FK-GL)等公式解释cmil。在1800名消费者中，有300名消费者因缺乏兴趣而被排除在研究之外。结果数据揭示了消费者对减肥药、降脂药《消费者医疗信息手册》可读性的认知。结论制药公司(宣传单提供者)没有考虑到消费者的阅读水平，可能达不到预期目的。根据印度的设置，有必要开发具有良好可读性评分的cmil。
