We investigated the water contents in commercial semi-solid preparations used for pressure ulcer (PU) treatment using near-IR spectroscopy (NIRS) and compared the results with those measured using the Karl Fischer (KF) method. The aim of this study was to determine a standard method and select the appropriate topical preparation with the optimal moisture for PU treatment. The water absorption properties of bases and formulations were evaluated with a time-dependent factor using Transwell as the model membrane. KF and NIRS were applicable as measurement methods of the water content in semi-solid formulations. NIRS was shown to be a useful, simple, nondestructive tool that is more advantageous than the KF method. The water absorption characteristics tested using Transwell revealed that the rate of and capacity for water absorption are determined not only by the absorption ability of the polymer base but also by other factors, such as the osmotic pressure exerted by additives. KF and NIR measurements can be used to choose external skin preparations to control the amount of water in PU treatment.

The activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) involves the geometrical conversion of the extracellular domain (ECD) from the tethered to the extended forms with the dynamic rearrangement of the relative positions of four subdomains (SDs); however, this conversion process has not yet been thoroughly understood. We compare the two different forms of the X-ray crystal structures of ECD and simulate the ECD conversion process using adiabatic mapping that combines normal mode analysis of the elastic network model (ENM-NMA) and energy optimization. A comparison of the crystal structures reveals the rigidity of the intradomain geometry of the SD-I and -III backbone regardless of the form. The forward mapping from the tethered to the extended forms retains the intradomain geometry of the SD-I and -III backbone and reveals the trends to rearrange the relative positions of SD-I and -III and to dissociate the C-terminal tail of SD-IV from the hairpin loop in SD-II. The reverse mapping from the extended to the tethered forms complements the promotion of ECD conversion in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF).

A novel type of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), N-benzoyl-(S)-valine anilide-imprinted polymer (IP-2), was prepared using hydrogen-bonding interactions as a main force in the pre-polymerization step. The performance of the IP-2 was evaluated via batch procedure and compared with a (S)-valine anilide-imprinted polymer (IP-1) that was prepared using an ionic interaction that is stronger than hydrogen bonding. Although both polymers showed a preferential adsorbability for (S)-amino acid derivatives, different performances were observed in terms of adsorbability and enantioselectivity. In addition, the IP-2 was able to recognize the enantiomer of a valine-derived chiral catalyst. This phenomenon was applied to a chiral amplification reaction, and a highly selective asymmetric Mannich-type amination was achieved using the combination of a racemic catalyst and a MIP.

A number of clinical trials demonstrated that tigecycline was effective and well tolerated in the treatment of patients with various bacterial infections, but few literatures had shown the coagulopathy induced by tigecycline. To address this concern, we performed a retrospective analysis to assess the impact of tigecycline treatment on coagulation parameters in 50 patients with bacterial infections in our hospital (Shandong Provincial Hospital, China). These patients were treated with tigecycline at Shandong Provincial Hospital in 2015–2016 at either a recommended (50 mg q12h) or a higher dose (100 mg q12h). Coagulation parameters, including Fibrinogen (FIB) levels, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelet count (PLT) and D-dimer, were evaluated in order to assess the impact of tigecycline treatment in these severely infected patients. What we found was that the plasma fibrinogen (FIB) level was 4.63 ± 1.56 g/L before tigecycline treatment, and decreased to 2.92 ± 1.23 g/L during treatment, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The mean values of aPTT and PT were significantly increased from 39.58 ± 8.72 to 44.05 ± 10.45 s (p = 0.002), and from 15.37 ± 1.53 to 16.37 ± 2.64 s (p = 0.004), respectively. This study demonstrates that treatment of tigecycline could reduce FIB, prolong aPTT and PT. In conclusion, we advise that it is necessary for practitioners routinely monitor coagulation level in at-rick patient populations treated with tigecycline.

The leaves of a tropical plant, Mitragyna speciosa KORTH (Rubiaceae), have been traditionally used as a substitute for opium. Phytochemical studies of the constituents of the plant growing in Thailand and Malaysia have led to the isolation of several 9-methoxy-Corynanthe-type monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, including new natural products. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic and/or synthetic methods. The potent opioid agonistic activities of mitragynine, the major constituent of this plant, and its analogues were found in in vitro and in vivo experiments and the mechanisms underlying the analgesic activity were clarified. The essential structural features of mitragynines, which differ from those of morphine and are responsible for the analgesic activity, were elucidated by pharmacological evaluation of the natural and synthetic derivatives. Among the mitragynine derivatives, 7-hydroxymitragynine, a minor constituent of M. speciosa, was found to exhibit potent antinociceptive activity in mice.

Panacis Japonici Rhizoma (PJR) contains various kinds of saponins, which possesses extensive pharmacological activities, but studies of comprehensive analysis of its saponins were limited. Thus, ultra-fast liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole-time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-Triple TOF-MS/MS) and ultra-fast liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole-linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-QTRAP-MS/MS) methods were established for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the saponins in PJR, separately. Fifty three saponins in PJR were identified by UFLC-Triple TOF-MS/MS method, 23 saponins of which were unequivocally identified by reference substances. In addition, fragmentation pathways of different types of saponins were preliminarily deduced by fragmentation behavior of 53 saponins. Furthermore, the simultaneous determination of the contents of 13 saponins in PJR samples harvested at different times were analyzed by UFLC-QTRAP-MS/MS method. Furthermore, the quality of the samples was evaluated by grey relational analysis. This study might be beneficial to the quality assessment and control of PJR. Meanwhile, it might provide the basic information for confirming its optimal harvested period.

Regenerative therapy with keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a novel therapeutic approach for treatment of chronic wounds. However, KGF cannot be used directly to the wound site due to its physicochemical instability. In previous study, sacran, a natural megamolecular polysaccharide, showed potential properties as a biomaterial for hydrogel film in wound healing. In this study, we fabricated sacran hydrogel film containing KGF (Sac/KGF-HF) and evaluated the effects of Sac/KGF-HF on fibroblasts migration and re-epithelialization process. We successfully prepared a homogenous and -amorphous Sac/KGF-HF by a casting method. In addition, Sac/KGF-HF had a high swelling ratio and flexibility. Sac/KGF-HF promoted a migration process of NIH3T3 cells and improved wound healing ability in mice with a percentage of wound closure reaching 90.4% at 9 d. Interestingly, the addition of KGF in Sac-HF considerably increased the number of epithelial cells compared to control, which is important in the re-epithelialization process. It could be concluded that KGF in Sac-HF has the potential for promoting Sac-HF abilities in wound healing process.

To develop potent ligands for the vitamin D receptor (VDR), we designed and synthesized a series of vitamin D analogues with and without 22-alkyl substituents. These analogues exhibited agonistic, partial agonistic, or antagonistic activity. To elucidate the mechanism of action of the analogues, we conducted crystal structure analyses of the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of VDR complexed with the analogues. The VDR-LBD/agonist complex exhibited precise interactions, which clearly explained VDR agonism. The VDR-LBD/partial agonist complex showed two conformers (agonist and antagonist binding conformers) in a single crystal, demonstrating that partial agonism could be explained by the sum of the agonistic and antagonistic activities. Antagonist binding to the VDR-LBD structure was elucidated using both crystal structure analysis and in-solution structural analyses with the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)-molecular dynamics (MD) and hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) methods. Several antagonist-binding structures were detected. We found that the antagonist binding structures differed depending on the structure of the antagonist itself, and those structures clearly explained the VDR antagonism. Furthermore, the apo VDR-LBD structure without the ligand in the ligand-binding pocket was revealed and found to have an entrance to accommodate the ligand. Thus we elucidated the mechanisms of action of agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists based on structural changes (differences) in the receptor protein induced by ligand binding.

We report a three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis of CDK2 inhibitors using fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations and partial least squares (PLS) regression. In our analysis, fragment binding energies of individual amino acids and fragment binding energy of a single ligand in a protein–ligand complex are evaluated by FMO calculations and used as descriptors in PLS regression to estimate biological activities of the ligands. The analysis was applied to the system of CDK2 protein and its inhibitors and the effectiveness of the method was tested. Application of the 3D-QSAR model demonstrated that it offered good predictive ability and was able to predict not only biological activity of ligands but also identify important amino acid residues which could be targeted in order to improve ligand activity.

We report here the development of phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives as novel nonsteroidal progesterone receptor (PR) antagonists. PR plays key roles in various physiological systems, including the female reproductive system, and PR antagonists are promising candidates for clinical treatment of multiple diseases. By using the phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine scaffold as a template structure, we designed and synthesized a series of 4-cyanophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives. The synthesized compounds exhibited PR antagonistic activity, and among them, compound 12n was the most potent (IC50 = 0.30 µM); it also showed significant binding affinity to the PR ligand-binding domain. Docking simulation supported the design rationale of the compounds. Our results suggest that the phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine scaffold is a versatile template for development of nonsteroidal PR antagonists and that the developed compounds are promising lead compounds for further structural development of nonsteroidal PR antagonists.

Inhibition constants (Ki) of pyrimidine acyclonucleosides and several normal pyrimidine metabolites for the phosphorolytic degradation of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FUdR) in rat and beagle tissue homogenates (liver and small intestine) were measured. Acyclothymidine (AcycTdR) showed the lowest Ki value for all the homogenates. The Ki/Km values of AcycTdR and acyclouridine (AcycUdR) depended on the homogenates, and the values (Ki/Km) in the rat liver homogenate were higher than those in all other homogenates.

Deamination of cytidine derivatives especially of cyclocytidine by mouse kidney cytidine deaminase was examined. Cyclocytidine was not deaminated at either pH6.5 or pH7.3 by the enzyme. Furthermore, cyclocytidine did not inhibit the deamination of aracytidine and ([I]/[S])0.5 value for cyclocytidine was over 100. As a result, cyclocytidine is found to be markedly active compound with resistance against cytidine deaminase.

Newly synthesized 5-3H-cyclocytidine was injected intravenously in rhesus monkeys having a high level of cytidine deaminase which inactivates aracytidine, an antitumor substance analogous to cyclocytidine, in human plasma and tissues. After rapid distribution as intact molecule in the liver, kidney, spleen, and other organs, 46.5% of the administered radioactivity was excreted via the renal pathway within 160min. Metabolite analysis of 5-3H-cyclocytidine in plasma, tissues, and urine of the monkeys revealed that extensive or rapid degradation of cyclocytidine did not occur, and confirmed the resistance of cyclocytidine against the deaminase activity and its stability in biological condition in vivo. Phosphorylated derivatives of cyclocytidine were also detected in the monkey liver after injection.

3'- (7-Carboxyheptanoyl) -5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (C6-FUdR) was conjugated to decylenediamine-dextran T70 (T70-C10) or poly-L-lysine (PLL) by using 1-ethyl-3- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). Drug release patterns from the conjugates between C6-FUdR and T70-C10 (T70-C10-C6-FUdR) or PLL (PLL-C6-FUdR) by enzymatic and nonenzymatic processes were investigated at neutral and weakly acidic pHs. Under the nonenzymatic conditions, 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FUdR) was released slowly only at neutral pH. This property is similar to that of C6-FUdR. Gradual drug release was observed enzymatically from T70-C10-C6-FUdR at both pHs, while PLL-C6-FUdR did not show enzymatic drug release. However, after the treatment of PLL-C6-FUdR with trypsin, FUdR was released enzymatically from the products; in this case, the release rate of FUdR was faster at neutral pH than at the weakly acidic pH. However, the release of FUdR by enzymatic processing was much slower from these conjugates than from C6-FUdR.

Five acidic 3', 5'-diesters of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FUdR) including 3-carboxypropionate, 4-carboxybutyrate, 5-carboxypentanoate, 6-carboxyhexanoate and 7-carboxyheptanoate were synthesized, and their susceptibility to porcine liver, rat liver homogenate, rat intestinal homogenate and rat plasma esterase preparations was studied. The susceptibility of the derivatives to porcine liver esterase preparation increased as the number of methylene groups in the ester promoiety increased in both acidic (pH 5.0) and neutral (pH 7.0) solutions. The derivatives showed about 100 times higher reactivity to the esterase at pH 5.0 than at pH 7.0. With the rat tissue homogenates and plasma preparations, the longer the ester chain the higher the susceptibility, except for 3', 5'-bis (3-carboxypropionyl) FUdR (I) with rat liver homogenate. Though the reactivity of I was the lowest with porcine liver esterase preparation and not measurable with rat intestinal homogenate and plasma, I showed the highest reactivity with the rat liver homogenate.

The activity of porcine liver esterase towards diesters of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine with saturated aliphatic acids including acetic, propionic, butyric, hexanoic, octanoic, decanoic and dodecanoic acids was investigated. The susceptibility of the 3', 5'-diesters increased as the acyl chain was lengthened up to octanoyl, but further increase in the acyl chain length resulted in a sharp decrease in the susceptibility. The susceptibility of 3'-and 5'-monoesters increased as the chain was lengthened to decanoyl and slightly decreased on going to dodecanoyl. These results suggest that the higher antitumor activity of longer alkyl chain diesters of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine is partly due to their slow rates of hydrolysis by non-specific esterase.

The bioactivation characteristics of 3', 5'-diesters of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FUdR) esterified with saturated aliphatic acids, including acetic, propionic, butyric, hexanoic, octanoic, decanoic, dodecanoic and trimethylacetic acids, were studied by using rat tissue homogenates and plasma. The susceptibility of the esters to hydrolysis by the biological media increased as the acyl promoiety was lengthened up to octanoyl. Further elongation resulted in decreasing susceptibility. Antitumor activity against L1210 of the esters with a longer chain or branched acyl group administered intraperitoneally and orally to tumor-bearing mice was also examined. Both the antitumor activity and the therapeutic index (ILSmax/ILS30) of the esters improved as the acyl promoiety was lengthened from octanoyl to dodecanoyl. These results suggested that the higher antitumor activities of longer alkyl chain diesters of FUdR are due to their slow rates of FUdR regeneration with esterases.
