Shahar, Or David published the artcileA high-throughput chemical screen with FDA approved drugs reveals that the antihypertensive drug Spironolactone impairs cancer cell survival by inhibiting homology directed repair, Product Details of C28H29NO4, the publication is Nucleic Acids Research (2014), 42(9), 5689-5701, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most severe type of DNA damage. DSBs are repaired by non-homologous end-joining or homol. directed repair (HDR). Identifying novel small mols. that affect HDR is of great importance both for research use and therapy. Mols. that elevate HDR may improve gene targeting, whereas inhibiting mols. can be used for chemotherapy, since some of the cancers are more sensitive to repair impairment. Here, the authors performed a high-throughput chem. screen for FDA approved drugs, which affect HDR in cancer cells. The authors found that HDR frequencies are increased by retinoic acid and Idoxuridine and reduced by the antihypertensive drug Spironolactone. The authors further revealed that Spironolactone impairs Rad51 foci formation, sensitizes cancer cells to DNA damaging agents, to Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and crosslinking agents and inhibits tumor growth in xenografts, in mice. This study suggests Spironolactone as a new candidate for chemotherapy.

Sheng, Kuo-Ching published the artcileDelivery of antigen using a novel mannosylated dendrimer potentiates immunogenicity in vitro and in vivo, Computed Properties of 96345-79-8, the publication is European Journal of Immunology (2008), 38(2), 424-436, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Antigen mannosylation has been shown to be an effective approach to potentiate antigen immunogenicity, due to the enhanced antigen uptake and presentation by APC. To overcome disadvantages associated with conventional methods used to mannosylate antigens, we have developed a novel mannose-based antigen delivery system that utilizes a polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer. It is demonstrated that mannosylated dendrimer ovalbumin (MDO) is a potent immune inducer. With a strong binding avidity to DC, MDO potently induced OVA-specific T cell response in vitro. It was found that the immunogenicity of MDO was due not only to enhanced antigen presentation, but also to induction of DC maturation. Mice immunized with MDO generated strong OVA-specific CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T cell and antibody responses. MDO also targeted lymph node DC to cross-present OVA, leading to OTI CD8⁺ T cell proliferation. Moreover, upon challenge with B16-OVA tumor cells, tumors in mice pre-immunized with MDO either did not grow or displayed a much more delayed onset, and had slower kinetics of growth than those of OVA-immunized mice. This mannose-based antigen delivery system was applied here for the first time to the immunization study. With several advantages and exceptional adjuvanticity, we propose mannosylated dendrimer as a potential vaccine carrier.

Santonicola, Gabriella M. published the artcileMixtures of n-Octyl-β-D-glucoside and Triethylene Glycol Mono-n-octyl Ether: Phase Behavior and Micellar Structure near the Liquid-Liquid Phase Boundary, Related Products of alcohols-buliding-blocks, the publication is Langmuir (2005), 21(22), 9955-9963, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The phase behavior and microstructure of aqueous mixtures of n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (C₈βG₁) and triethylene glycol mono-n-octyl ether (C₈E₃) is presented. C₈βG₁ forms a one-phase micellar solution in water at surfactant concentrations up to 60 wt %, whereas mixtures with C₈E₃ show a liquid-liquid phase transition at low surfactant concentration The position of this phase boundary for mixtures can be rationally shifted in the temperature-composition window by altering the ratio of the two surfactants. Small-angle neutron scattering is used to determine the size and shape of the mixed micelles and to characterize the nature of the fluctuations near the cloud point of the micellar solutions The C₈βG₁/C₈E₃ solutions are characterized by concentration fluctuations that become progressively stronger upon approach to the liquid-liquid phase boundary, whereas micellar growth is negligible. Such observations confirm previous views of the role of the surfactant phase boundary in tuning attractive micellar interactions, which can be used effectively to change the nature and strength of interparticle interactions in colloidal dispersions. Colloidal silica particles were then added to these surfactant mixtures and were found to aggregate at conditions near the cloud point. This finding is relevant to current strategies for protein crystallization

Co-crystallization studies were undertaken to improve the solubility of a highly water-insoluble drug febuxostat (FXT), used in the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. The selection of co-crystal former (CCF) mols. such as 1-hydroxy 2-naphthoic acid (1H-2NPH), 4-hydroxy benzoic acid (4-HBA), salicylic acid (SAC), 5-nitro isophthalic acid (5-NPH), isonicotinamide (ISNCT), and picolinamide (PICO) was based on the presence of complementary functional groups capable of forming hydrogen bond and the ΔpKa difference between FXT and CCF. A liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) method was successfully employed for the rapid screening of various pharmaceutical adducts. These adducts were characterized based on their unique thermal (differential scanning calorimetry) and spectroscopic (Fourier transform IR and Raman spectroscopy) profiles. Binary phase diagrams (BPD) were plotted to establish a relationship between the thermal events and adduct formed. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies were carried out to confirm the formation of eutectic/co-crystal. Thermogravimetric anal. (TGA) was also performed for the novel co-crystals obtained. The propensity for strong homo-synthons over weak hetero-synthons and strong hetero-synthons over weak homo-synthons during supramol. growth resulted in the formation of eutectics and co-crystals resp. FXT:1H-2NPH (1), FXT:4-HBA (1), FXT:SAC (1, 2), and FXT:5-NPH (2-1) gave rise to pure eutectic systems, while FXT:ISNCT (2-1) and FXT:PICO (1) gave rise to novel co-crystals with characteristic DSC heating curves and PXRD pattern. Addnl., the impact of microenvironmental pH and microspeciation profile on the improved dissolution profile of the co-crystals was discussed.

Thomann-Harwood, L. J. published the artcileNanogel vaccines targeting dendritic cells: Contributions of the surface decoration and vaccine cargo on cell targeting and activation, Related Products of alcohols-buliding-blocks, the publication is Journal of Controlled Release (2013), 166(2), 95-105, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play crucial roles in initiating and promoting immune defences, providing a pivotal target for vaccines. Although nanoparticle/nanogel-based delivery vehicles are showing potential for delivering vaccines to the immune system, there is little information on their characteristics of interaction with DCs. While particle uptake by DCs has been shown, the mechanism of cell targeting has not been studied. Moreover, it is still unclear how particle surface decoration influences the handling of such vaccines by DCs. Accordingly, chitosan nanogels carrying a model antigen, ovalbumin (ova), were analyzed for interaction with and processing by DCs. Nanogel surfaces decorated with alginate (alg) or mannosylated alginate (alg-man), were used for targeting particular DC receptors. DC uptake of particles was observed, being dependent on endosomal-based processes. Inhibiting PI3-kinase or lipid raft activities impaired the uptake, which was only reduced, indicating the involvement of more than one endocytic pathway; notably, this was observed with both nanogel-delivered or free ova. Importantly, surface decoration of particles was less influential on particle uptake, contrasting with the ova cargo which played the major role. Such influence of the vaccine cargo has to date been largely ignored. When receptors interacting directly with ova were blocked, this altered the uptake of alg-nanogels and alg-man-nanogels carrying ova. The nanogels did have an influential role, in that modulation of DC functional activity owed more to the nanogel structure. Using an in vitro restimulation assay with ova-specific lymphocytes, nanogel-delivered and free ova were similarly effective at inducing specific antibody. Nanogel-delivered ova with mannose surface decoration was superior to free ova for inducing interferon-γ production by T-lymphocytes. Together, the data demonstrates that particle-based vaccine delivery should consider the influences of both the surface decoration and the vaccine cargo; each can influence different aspects of the interaction with DCs. Such combined influences are likely to impinge on the characteristics of the immune response induced.

Fermented ginger paste is a traditional condiment in South East Asia used to marinate meat to extend the shelf life and improve the taste. The present study aimed to determine the metabolomics profile of fermented ginger and the effects on the shelf life of chicken meat. Sterilized chicken meat slices were marinated using the fermented and fresh ginger paste and incubated at 8°C to determine the effects on the microbial growth. The bioactive metabolites were identified using ¹H NMR based anal. The results demonstrated that fermentation significantly (p<0.05) increased the antibacterial activity of the ginger paste against Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (97%), Listeria monocytogenes (97%) and Staphylococcus aureus (100%), with the microbial load significantly (p < 0.05) reducing to 4.0 and 4.5 Log10 CFU g^-1 in the chicken meat slices marinated in fermented ginger. Fermented ginger paste significantly reduced the pH value, moisture content and water activity of chicken meat slices after the incubation for 2 days at 8°C. A total of 25 metabolites were identified in the fermented ginger paste. These results revealed the potential application of fermented ginger paste to enhance the safety of chicken meat via reducing the microbial load.

As a facial skin condition, oily skin causes cosmetic problems, such as large pores, shiny appearance, and the feeling of greasiness and heaviness. Furthermore, extensive sebum production leads to common skin disorders such as acne vulgaris or seborrheic dermatitis. This study investigated the efficacy of sebum control tonics containing Juniperus communis fruit oil, Pelargonium graveolens oil, or niacinamide. The effects of Juniperus communis fruit oil, Pelargonium graveolens oil, and niacinamide on sebum excretion rates were investigated using Sebumeter. Sebum measurements (SebumeterSM 815, Courage & Khazaka, Köln, Germany) were made on the skin surface in three places by applying the sebumeter probe to the forehead after 10, 60, and 120 min from application of the tonic. The results indicated that the application of the tonic maintained a lower sebum secretion 10 min and 60 min after the application of the cosmetic, compared to those before it. However, a visible sebum-reducing efficacy after 2 h was reported only for tonic containing 0.25% Pelargonium graveolens oil and for the tonic with the addition of 3% niacinamide. After 2 h, the values of sebum measurements were 44 ± 5.13 a.u. and 58 ± 9.07 a.u., resp. Our results show that the tonic with the addition of 0.25% Pelargonium graveolens oil is the most effective in reducing sebum production
