Knowledge of the three-dimensional structures of protein targets from genomic data has the potential to accelerate researches
pertaining to drug discovery. Human β2 adrenergic receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor with seven transmembrane helices, and is important in pharmaceutical
targeting on pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. The human β2 adrenergic receptor has been found to play a very important role in the pathogenesis of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE).
In the present study, a high quality of protein 3D structure has been predicted for the human β2 adrenergic receptor sequence with primary accession number P07550. Homologous template protein sequence with known 3D structure
was identified and the template-query protein sequence validation was done by multiple sequence alignment method. The homology
model was performed through Modeller and depended on the quality of the sequence alignment by BLAST, template structure and
the consolidated result performed by Gene silico meta-server. The statistical verification of the generated model was evaluated
by PROCHECK which revealed that the structure modeled through Modeller to be of good quality with 84.1% of residues in the
most favored region. Docking studies were carried out after modeling with two well known ligands namely Salmeterol and Nifedipine,
and the fitness score revealed that Salmeterol has a higher fitness score than Nifedipine. Estimation of binding affinity
by X-Score revealed that Salmeterol had −10.40 binding affinity while Nifedipine showed −9.62 binding affinity. From the present
study, it can be concluded that the generated model of human β2 adrenergic receptor can be used for further studies related to this receptor and Salmeterol was found to have a high binding
affinity with human β2 adrenergic receptor. 相似文献

Epithelial cell migration plays an important role in gastrointestinal mucosal repair. We previously reported that multiple
functional ion channels, including a Ba2+-sensitive K+ inward rectifier Kir1.2, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP)-sensitive voltage-gated K+ channels Kv1.1, Kv1.6 and Kv2.1, and a nifedipine-sensitive, tetrodotoxin (TTX)-insensitive voltage-gated Na+ channel Nav1.5 were expressed in a non-transformed rat gastric epithelial cell line (RGM-1). In the present study, we further investigated
whether these ion channels are involved in the modulation of gastric epithelial cell migration. Cell migration was determined
by monolayer wound healing assay. Results showed that blockade of Kv with 4-AP or Nav1.5 with nifedipine inhibited RGM-1 cell migration in the absence or presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF), which effectively
stimulated RGM-1 cell migration. Moreover, high concentration of TTX mimicked the action of nifedipine, suggesting that the
action of nifedipine was mediated through specific blockade of Nav1.5. In contrast, inhibition of Kir1.2 with Ba2+, either in basal or EGF-stimulated condition, had no effect on RGM-1 cell migration. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates
for the first time that voltage-gated K+ and Na+ channels are involved in the modulation of gastric epithelial cell migration. 相似文献

Global decline of amphibian populations causes particular concern about their vulnerability to novel environmental pollutants, including engineering nanomaterials and pharmaceutical products. We evaluated the bioavailability of nanoform of zinc oxide (n-ZnO) in frog Pelophylax ridibundus and determined whether co-exposure to a common pharmaceutical, a calcium-channel blocker nifedipine (Nfd) can affect this bioavailability. Male frogs were exposed for 14 days to the tap water (Control) and n-ZnO (3.1 μM), Zn2+ (3.1 μM, as a positive control for n-ZnO exposures), Nfd (10 μM), and combination of n-ZnO and Nfd (n-ZnO + Nfd) in environmentally-relevant concentration. Exposure to Zn2+ or n-ZnO led to up-regulation of metal-binding proteins, metallothioneins (MTs) in the liver and Zn-carrying vitellogenin-like proteins in the blood plasma. Notably, upregulation of MTs by Zn2+ or n-ZnO exposures combined with increased binding of Zn and Cu to MTs. This was associated with the more reducing conditions in the liver tissue indicated by elevated lactate to pyruvate ratio. Nfd suppressed the binding of Zn and Cu to MTs and led to a decrease in Lactate/Pyruvate ratio and elevated protein carbonylation indicating pro-oxidant conditions. Redox status parameters were not directly related to DNA fragmentation, nuclear abnormalities or suppression of cholinesterase activity indicating that factors other than oxidative stress are involved in cytotoxicity of different pollutants and their combinations. Furthermore, activity of Phase I biotransformation enzyme (CYP450 oxidase measured as EROD) was elevated in Nfd-containing exposures and in Zn2+ exposed frogs. Tyrosinase-like activity in the frog liver was strongly stimulated by Zn2+ but suppressed by n-ZnO, Nfd and n-ZnO + Nfd. These findings show that Nfd modulates homeostasis of essential metals in amphibians and emphasize that physiological consequences of combined n-ZnO and Nfd exposures are difficult to predict based on the mechanisms of single stressors. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ethylenediamine core PAMAM dendrimers, on the release of nifedipine
suspended in aqueous gels and to correlate release to the increase in solubility afforded by the dendrimers. Drug release
from aqueous 5% HPMC gels containing nifedipine (2% wt/vol) through 0.2-μm membranes was measured using Enhancer cells and
50% ethanolic solution as the receptor medium. The release from gels containing PAMAM G-3 and G-5 (0.25%–1% wt/vol) was compared
with gels containing the cosolvent isopropyl alcohol (10%–80% vol/vol). PAMAM dendrimers significantly increased the solubility
of nifedipine. This caused a significant increase in the release rate of nifedipine from the gel suspensions. The increase
in drug release depended on the concentration and generation size of the dendrimers added. For higher generations (G-5) lower
concentrations were needed to obtain equivalent increases in release. Although the increase in solubility and release was
not as high as from gels containing high concentrations of the cosolvent isopropyl alcohol, the dendrimers prevented the recrystallization
of the drug that was observed when the gels containing isopropyl alcohol were left open.

Experiments on 86Rb+ fluxes were used to identify the changes in ionic state induced by transferring stomata from light to darkness. Guard-cell fluxes and contents were measured on isolated epidermal strips from Vicia faba L. in which all cells other than the guard cells had been killed by ultrasonic disruption. Closure of stomata in response to darkness was achieved by a large, transient stimulation of 86Rb+ efflux from the guard cells, combined with a reduction of ion transfer from cytoplasm to vacuole, but there was little significant change in influx. Removal of blue but not red light appeared to trigger the flux responses associated with darkening. Attempts to inhibit the closing response (using methoxyverapamil, nifedipine and bepridil, compounds possessing activity against the calcium channels of animal cells) were mostly unsuccessful and the significance of this result is discussed.Abbreviations and Symbols

Influx of 45Ca into internodal cells of Chara corallina has been measured, using short uptake times, and a wash in ice-cold La3+-containing pondwater after the labelling period to overcome the difficulty of distinguishing extracellular tracer from that in the cell. Over 5–15 min the uptake was linear with time, through the origin. The basal influx from 0.1 mM Ca2+ externally was 0.25–0.5 pmol·cm-2·s-1, but some batches of cells showed higher fluxes. The influx was markedly stimulated by depolarisation in pondwater containing 20 mM K+. In cells in which the control flux was less than about 0.5 pmol·cm-2·s-1 there was no effect of 50 M nifedipine. In cells in which the control flux was greater than about 0.5 pmol·cm-2·s-1 (whether by natural variability, pretreatment, or by depolarisation in 20 mM K+), the flux was reduced by 50 M nifedipine to a value in the range 0.25–0.59 pmol·cm-2·s-1. It is suggested that two types of Ca-channel are probably involved, both opening on depolarisation, but only one sensitive to nifedipine. The flux was inhibited by 10 M BAY K 8644, which in animal cells more commonly opens Ca-channels. The apparent influx measured over long uptake times was much reduced, and the kinetics indicated filling a pool of apparent size about 1.45 nmol·cm-2 with a halftime of about 38 min, probably representing cytoplasmic stores. It is argued that in spite of the very small pool of (free+bound) cytoplasmic Ca2+ the measured influx is a reasonable estimate of the influx at the plasmalemma.Abbreviations 0.4K-APW6

In the present investigation, a simple technique was employed to obtain cross-sections of unloaded and nifedipine loaded chitosan microspheres. Microspheres, adhering to a polymerized resin block, were cut with an ultramicrotome and viewed with a scanning electron microscope. Unloaded microspheres exhibited a uniform dense matrix structure while crystals of nifedipine were clearly visible in the drug-loaded microspheres. At 2% drug loading, however, no crystals could be seen in the microspheres indicating that either the drug was molecularly dispersed or dissolved in the matrix at this concentration. This was confirmed by powder X-ray diffractometry studies where no peak due to crystalline nifedipine was observed. At high Span 85 concentration (1.5% w/v), the external surface of the microspheres collapsed, but the internal structure remained dense. When the drug was dispersed in the chitosan solution with stirring during preparation, the entrapment was good and the shape of the crystals was changed. The internal structure of the microspheres following dissolution exhibited the presence of pores. 相似文献
