Numerous efforts have been devoted to improving the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Recently, it was reported that the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are a new class of porous materials consisting of metal ions and organic ligands, is effective in improving the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Our previous study demonstrated an improvement in the solubility of indomethacin (IDM) triggered by the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The present study aimed to elucidate the solubilization mechanism using the ZIF series, namely, ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and ZIF-L. It was confirmed that the solubility of ZIF-trapped IDM and ibuprofen (IBU) was enhanced compared to the raw drugs, regardless of the ZIF type. This study focused on 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM), which is commonly used as a ZIF organic ligand. Both IDM and IBU were easily dissolved by the addition of 2-MIM, suggesting that the presence of 2-MIM enhanced the solubility of the drugs. Inductively coupled plasma measurements also confirmed the presence of metal ions of ZIFs in the supernatant solution after the drug release tests, indicating the decomposition of ZIFs during drug release. The findings of this study demonstrated the solubilization mechanism of poorly water-soluble drugs using ZIF particles. We observed that the drugs loaded on the ZIFs were released simultaneously with the decomposition of some of the ZIFs. The 2-MIM molecules were also released concurrently. The presence of 2-MIM improved the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs.

The gene pool of influenza A viruses in aquatic birds provides all of the genetic diversity required for human and lower animals. Host range selection of the receptor binding specificity of the influenza virus hemagglutinin occurs during maintenance of the virus in different host cells that express different receptor sialo-sugar chains. In this paper, functional roles of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase spikes of influenza viruses are described in the relation to 1) host range of influenza viruses, 2) receptor binding specificity of human and other animal influenza viruses, 3) recognition of sialyl sugar chains by Spanish influenza virus hemagglutinin, 4) highly pathogenic and potentially pandemic H5N1, H9N2, and H7N7 avian influenza viruses and molecular mechanism of host range variation of influenza viruses, 5) role of the neuraminidase spike for the host range of influenza viruses, and 6) Development of anti-influenza drugs.

It is important to select appropriate antibiotics for infection control. Linezolid and tedizolid are newly developed and synthesized oxazolidinone antibacterial agents. It has been pointed out that there is a relationship between a high plasma concentration of the target drug and incidence of adverse effects, although it has been reported that neither linezolid nor tedizolid requires dose adjustment according to renal function. Due to the high incidence of adverse effects, both are often switched. Precise plasma concentration control by therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is desirable for reducing the adverse effects of both drugs and obtaining a better therapeutic effect. In this study, we aimed to establish a method for simultaneous quantification of linezolid and tedizolid in human plasma using LC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Sample preparation was performed by a simple operation with acetonitrile. Linezolid and tedizolid were separated by an octadecylsilyl column using a gradient elution of acetonitrile in aqueous 0.1% formic acid solution and were detected in the positive ion electrospray mode with multiple reaction monitoring. Quantification of linezolid and tedizolid ranged from 0.5 to 50 and 0.5 to 20 µg/mL, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy of data were assessed and found to be acceptable. The developed method was successfully applied to measurement of the concentrations of linezolid and tedizolid. This simple method, which can simultaneously quantify both drug concentrations for daily TDM, could contribute to safer treatment of patients.

To characterize active principles for prevention and treatment of diabetic complications, the isolation of protein glycation inhibitors from the fruiting body of Phellinus linteus was conducted in vitro using the model systems of hemoglobin-δ-gluconolactone (early stage), bovine serum albumin-methylglyoxal (middle stage), and Nα-acetyl-glycyl-lysine methyl ester-D-ribose (last stage) assays. Nine compounds were isolated from the active ethylacetate fraction of the fruiting body and identified as protocatechuic acid (1), protocatechualdehyde (2), caffeic acid (3), ellagic acid (4), hispidin (5), davallialactone (6), hypholomine B (7), interfungins A (8), and inoscavin A (9) by spectroscopic analyses. At the early stage of protein glycation, compounds 6, 8, and 9 exhibited inhibitory activity on hemoglobin A1C formation. For the middle stage, compounds 2, 6, and 9 showed a significant inhibitory effect on methylglyoxal-medicated protein modification and their IC50 values were 144.28, 213.15, and 158.66 μM, respectively. At the last stage of glycation, compound 8 was found to be a potent inhibitor of the cross-linking of proteins, which was more effective than that of aminoguanidine, a well-known inhibitor for advanced glycation end products. Consequently, compound 8 showed the most potent inhibitory effects at each stage of protein glycation. This mechanism may help to provide a protective effect against hyperglycemia-mediated protein damage.

Quantitative proton NMR (qHNMR) methodology was employed for the stoichiometric (free base and the corresponding counterion) assessment of a ticagrelor process impurity, also referred to in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), Pharmacopeial Forum as Ticagrelor Related Compound A (RC A), [(1R,2S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)cyclopropan-1-amine (R)-mandelate], also called as Tica amine mandelate, a critical impurity that, when present during manufacturing, has a limit of not more than 0.0008%. The Tica amine is also a listed impurity E in the Ticagrelor monograph, in European Pharmacopeia. Because there was no existing NMR spectroscopic method in the literature specific to quantify the counterion (mandelic acid) in Ticagrelor RC A, this study aimed to fill the gap. Accurate stoichiometric measurement of this impurity serves to enhance product quality in the manufacturing of the ticagrelor active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Using ethylene carbonate as an internal standard (IS), the qHNMR analysis on Ticagrelor impurity, revealed many key characteristics of the test mixture composition, including (free base and counterion). The results demonstrate that qHNMR has great potential for addressing several key quality attributes associated with chemical analyses such as detection, identification, quantification, and purity determination, as well as deriving molecular stoichiometry, all from the single proton spectrum.

Mass spectrometry is a powerful methodology for chemical screening to directly quantify substrates and products of enzymes, but its low throughput has been an issue. Recently, an acoustic liquid-handling apparatus (Echo®) used for rapid nano-dispensing has been coupled to a high-sensitivity mass spectrometer to create the Echo® MS system, and we applied this system to screening of SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors. Primary screening of 32,033 chemical samples was completed in 12 hours. Among the hits showing selective, dose-dependent 3CL-inhibitory activity, 8 compounds showed antiviral activity in cell-based assay.

Infliximab (IFX) has contributed to the treatment of several chronic inflammatory diseases, including Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), psoriasis (Pso), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the loss of response in some patients with long-term IFX therapy has been a major problem. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are limited in their short duration and lack of generalizability to the real-world population. We aimed to describe the persistence rates of IFX therapy to estimate its long-term effectiveness in clinical practice. Claims data from the Japan Medical Data Center database from January 2005 to June 2017 were used. The study population was identified based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision and the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System. The 5-year persistence rates of IFX therapy were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Overall, 281, 235, 41, and 222 patients with CD, UC, Pso, and RA, respectively, were selected. The 5-year persistence rates for IFX claims were 62.9, 38.9, 22.1, and 28.1% in patients with CD, UC, Pso, and RA, respectively. Patients with CD and UC administered IFX beyond the median dose had higher persistence rates. In patients with RA, female sex and no prior use of other biologics were associated with longer persistence. In conclusion, IFX persistence rates differed across chronic inflammatory diseases, which did not correspond to the results of the major RCTs. Factors associated with longer IFX persistence were identified in each disease group. Our findings may provide useful information to facilitate the proper use of IFX.

The aim of this study was to determine whether sesamin, a component from Acanthopanax senticosus HARMS (ASH) pharmacologically offers protection against Parkinson's disease (PD) and its related depressive behavior in rats administered rotenone. We also examined how sesamin affected the rotenone-induced loss of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) or glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)-positive neurons in the midbrain of rats. Rats were orally administered sesamin (3, 30 mg/kg) once a day for 2 weeks before an intraperitoneal injection of rotenone (2.5 mg/kg). The pole test and catalepsy test were used to evaluate the effects of sesamin administration on bradykinesia and depressive behaviors in the PD model of rats given rotenone for 5 weeks. Those effects were compared with the ASH administrated group (250 mg/kg). Treatment with sesamin for seven weeks resulted in prophylactic effects on rotenone-induced parkinsonian bradykinesia and catalepsy, and the effects were equivalent to ASH effects. Immunohistochemistical analysis using TH or GDNF antibody showed that sesamin provided cytoprotective effects against rotenone-induced loss of DA cells. The results suggest that it may be possible to use the ASH and sesamin for the prevention of nigral degenerative disorders, e.g., PD with depression, caused by exposure to pesticide or environmental neurotoxins in general.

6-Chloro-9-(2, 3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl) purine (1) was found to be a suitable substrate for the preparation of C-8 substituted purine nucleosides. Thus, upon lithiation of 1 with LDA and successive reaction with various types of electrophiles, the C-8 substituted products were obtained. The C-6 chlorine atoms in these products were readily replaced by an amino group, a mercapto group, or hydrogen, providing a facile preparation of 8-substituted adenosines, 6-thioinosines, or nebularines.

1-β-Alkyl derivatives of 1-desoxypodophyllotoxin were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity and inhibitory effects on DNA topoisomerase II (Topo-II) and tubulin polymerization were examined.The reaction of epipodophyllotoxin derivatives (1a-c) with trimethylallylsilane in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate gave 1-β-allylated compounds (2a-c). The regiochemistry and the β-stereochemistry of the 1-allyl group were confirmed by comparison of the 13C-NMR spectra and NOE's (%) of 2c, podophyllotoxin (POD) and epipodophyllotoxin (1b). 1-β-Alkyl-1-desoxypodophyllotoxin derivatives (3-8) were prepared from 2b.None of the tested compounds (3-8) showed any inhibitory effect on Topo-II. 1-β-Propyl compound (3) and its 4'-demethyl compound (4) inhibited tubulin polymerization and the cytotoxicities of these compounds were equal to that of VP-16. 1-β-(2, 3-Dihydroxypropyl) compounds (5 and 8) and 1-β-(2, 3-diacetoxypropyl) compounds (6 and 7)showed no inhibitory effect on tubulin polymerization. Although 5 did not inhibit either Topo-II activity or tubulin polymerization, it showed a high cytotoxicity against sarcoma 180.

The reaction of organolithium, Grignard, and organoaluminum reagents with 2'- and 3'-ketouridine derivatives was examined. For the reaction of 2', 5'-bis-0- (tert-butyldimethylsilyl) -3'-ketouridine, both organolithiums and organoaluminums seem to be practically useful. But only organoaluminums gave satisfactory yields in the reaction of 3', 5'-0- (tetraisopropyldisiloxan-1, 3-diyl) -2'-ketouridine.

With the aim of diminishing the toxicity of 5-fluorouracil (1) and obtaining biologically active derivatives of 1 suitable for oral administration, α-alkoxyalkyl groups were introduced at the 1-, 3-and 1, 3-positions of 1. Alkoxyalkylation can be effected by four methods : (i) reaction of 1-alkoxyalkyl chloride (2) with 1, (ii) reaction of acetal with 2, 4-bis (trimethylsiloxy)-5-fluoropy-rimidine, (iii) addition reaction of α-unsaturated ether with 1, (iv) aminolysis of 1-alkylthio-carbonyl-3-(1-alkoxyalkyl)-5-fluorouracil. The toxicity of the products was less than that of 1, and some of these compounds showed moderate antitumor activity against L-1210 leukemia.

The enones (II), which were obtained from dimethyl 4, 5-isopropylidenedioxy-2-oxopentylphosphonate (Ia) and various aldehydes, were easily converted to 2-alkenylfurans (III) by treatment with p-TsOH in MeOH. In a similar manner, the furfuryl phosphonate (IVa) and the 3-methylfurfuryl phosphonate (IVb) were obtained from Ia and its 3-methylated analogue (Ib), respectively.

A new synthetic route to optically active α, β-, β', γ'-unsaturated alcohols was established. The chiral enones (6 and 8), prepared from dimethyl malate via chiral phosphonates (4 and 5), were diastereoselectively reduced with Zn(BH4)2 to afford the 1, 3-syn derivatives (9 and 11). As an application of this 1, 3-asymmetric induction, the fungitoxic C-18 hydroxy unsaturated fatty acid isolated from stromata of Epichloe typhina was synthesized.

In this paper we describe the development of a fully-automated solution-phase synthesizer, ‘ChemKonzert’ that can be used to prepare a wide variety of organic compounds. The automated synthesizer is ingeniously designed to perform most of the chemical reactions currently used by synthetic organic chemists and utilizes a centrifugal separator to efficiently achieve liquid-liquid extraction. The design of the hardware and software will be described in this paper, and several examples of organic reactions will also be presented as applications of the apparatus.

Considerable efforts have been made on the development of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for delivering of nucleic acids in LNP-based medicines, including a first-ever short interfering RNA (siRNA) medicine, Onpattro, and the mRNA vaccines against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which have been approved and are currently in use worldwide. The successful rational design of ionizable cationic lipids was a major breakthrough that dramatically increased delivery efficiency in this field. The LNPs would be expected to be useful as a platform technology for the delivery of various therapeutic modalities for genome editing and even for undiscovered therapeutic mechanisms. In this review, the current progress of my research, including the molecular design of pH-sensitive cationic lipids, their applications for various tissues and cell types, and for delivering various macromolecules, including siRNA, antisense oligonucleotide, mRNA, and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) system will be described. Mechanistic studies regarding relationships between the physicochemical properties of LNPs, drug delivery, and biosafety are also summarized. Furthermore, current issues that need to be addressed for next generation drug delivery systems are discussed.
