Inhibitory effects of norcantharidin against human lung cancer cell growth and migration

The effects of norcantharidin (NCTD), an anticancer drug in China, on the growth and migration in human lung cancer cells were investigated by in vitro and ex vivo assays. NCTD significantly inhibited the in vitro and ex vivo growth of human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. Western blot analysis indicated that NCTD dose-dependently down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and up-regulated the level of pro-apoptotic protein Bax, eventually leading the reduction of ratio of Bcl-2/Bax proteins in A549 cells. Moreover, NCTD significantly suppressed the A549 cell migration in the case of without reducing the cell viability. More importantly, NCTD significantly enhanced the anticancer activity of anticancer agents such as trichostatin A (the histone deacetylase inhibitor), celecoxib (the inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2) and lovastatin (the inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase) by strongly reducing the viability and/or the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax protein in A549 cells. Our findings suggest that NCTD may have the wide therapeutic and/or adjuvant therapeutic application in the treatment of human lung cancer.     

Encapsulated fusion protein confers “sense and respond” activity to chitosan–alginate capsules to manipulate bacterial quorum sensing

We demonstrate that “nanofactory”‐loaded biopolymer capsules placed in the midst of a bacterial population can direct bacterial communication. Quorum sensing (QS) is a process by which bacteria communicate through small‐molecules, such as autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2), leading to collective behaviors such as virulence and biofilm formation. In our approach, a “nanofactory” construct is created, which comprises an antibody complexed with a fusion protein that produces AI‐2. These nanofactories are entrapped within capsules formed by electrostatic complexation of cationic (chitosan) and anionic (sodium alginate) biopolymers. The chitosan capsule shell is crosslinked by tripolyphosphate (TPP) to confer structural integrity. The capsule shell is impermeable to the encapsulated nanofactories, but freely permeable to small molecules. In turn, the capsules are able to take in substrates from the external medium via diffusion, and convert these via the nanofactories into AI‐2, which then diffuses out. The exported AI‐2 is shown to stimulate QS responses in vicinal Escherichia coli. Directing bacterial population behavior has potential applications in next‐generation antimicrobial therapy and pathogen detection. We also envision such capsules to be akin to artificial “cells” that can participate in native biological signaling and communicate in real‐time with the human microbiome. Through such interaction capabilities, these “cells” may sense the health of the microbiome, and direct its function in a desired, host‐friendly manner. Biotechnol.

Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric determination of indacaterol maleate in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations: application to content uniformity

Two simple, rapid, sensitive and precise spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for the determination of indacaterol maleate in bulk powder and capsules. Both methods were based on the direct measurement of the drug in methanol. In the spectrophotometric merthod (Method I) the absorbance was measured at 259 nm. The absorbance‐concentration plot was rectilinear over the range 1.0–10.0 µg mL^?1 with a lower detection limit (LOD) of 0.078 µg mL^?1 and lower quantification limit (LOQ) of 0.238 µg mL^?1. Meanwhile in the spectrofluorimetric method (Method II) the native fluorescence was measured at 358 nm after excitation at 258 nm. The fluorescence‐concentration plot was rectilinear over the range of 1.0–40.0 ng mL^?1 with an LOD of 0.075 ng mL^?1and an LOQ of 0.226 ng mL^?1. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the determination of indacaterol maleate in capsules with average percent recoveries ± RSD% of 99.94 ± 0.96 for Method I and 99.97 ± 0.81 for Method II. In addition, the proposed methods were extended to a content uniformity test according to the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) guidelines and were accurate, precise for the capsules studied with acceptance value 3.98 for Method I and 2.616 for Method II.

Simple and sensitive spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of pregabalin in capsules through derivatization with fluorescamine

A new, simple and sensitive spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the determination of pregabalin (PG) in capsules. The method is based on the reaction between pregabalin and fluorescamine in borate buffer solution of pH 10 to give a highly fluorescent derivative that is measured at 487 nm after excitation at 390 nm. The different experimental parameters affecting the development and stability of the reaction product were carefully studied and optimized. The fluorescence intensity concentration plot was rectilinear over the range of 0.01–0.3 µg mL^?1 with a lower detection limit of 0.0017 µg mL^?1 and limit of quantitation of 0.005 µg mL^?1. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of the drug in its commercial capsules. The mean percentage recovery of PG in its capsule was 99.93±1.24 (n = 3). Statistical comparison of the results with those of the comparison method revealed good agreement and proved that there was no significant difference in the accuracy and precision of the two methods. A proposed reaction pathway was postulated. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
