A series of novel isoflavonoids were synthesized based on structural modifications of daidzein, an active ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and evaluated for their anti‐influenza activity, in vitro, against H1N1 Tamiflu‐resistant (H1N1 TR) virus in the MDCK cell line. Among them, 4‐oxo‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐8‐carbaldehydes 11a – 11g were most promising, and they demonstrated better activities and selectivities comparable to those the reference ribarivin, a nucleoside antiviral agent. 3‐(4‐Bromophenyl)‐7‐hydroxy‐4‐oxo‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐8‐carboxaldehyde ( 11c ) displayed the best inhibitory activity (EC50, 29.0 μM ) and selectivity index (SI>10.3). Analysis of the structure? activity relationships (SAR) indicated that both the non‐naturally‐occurring Br‐substituted B‐ring and appropriate CHO and OH groups on the A‐ring might be critical for the activity and selectivity against H1N1 TR influenza viruses. 相似文献

When we studied the effects of polyphenols from apple fruits on melanogenesis in B16 mouse melanoma cell lines, phloridzin had dose-dependent progressive effects on melanogenesis between 10 and 500 μg/ml without inhibiting cell growth. At a concentration of 500 μg/ml, phloridzin increased the melanin content in the cells to 181% of that in control cells. In contrast, phloretin, the aglycon of phloridzin, did not activate melanogenesis in the cells and was cytotoxic at a concentration of 5 μg/ml. Phloridzin increased the activity of tyrosinase to 223% of that in control cells. Furthermore, phloridzin inhibited the activity of protein kinase C (PKC), which is recognized to regulate tyrosinase activity. The inhibition of PKC activity continued for 120min from the addition of phloridzin. Therefore, we estimated that the activation of melanogenesis by phloridzin resulted from the increase of tyrosinase activity caused by the inhibition of PKC activity. 相似文献

It is well established that endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) plays a role in differentiation and proliferation in a variety of cells such as fibroblasts and human melanoma cells via a receptor‐mediated mechanism. However, whether ET‐1 modulates ion channel activity in these cell types is still unknown. In this report, we recorded the voltage‐dependent outward K+ current in cultured B16 melanoma cells using the patch‐clamp technique. Biophysical and pharmacological properties of the K+ current, and the effect of ET‐1 on the K+ current were investigated. When cells were loaded with a Ca2+‐chelating agent (EGTA or BAPTA), the K+ current amplitude gradually increased with time after establishment of the whole cell configuration. Replacement of Ca2+ with Co2+ in the extracellular medium caused no significant modulation of the K+ current amplitude. Addition of BaCl2 or quinidine to the extracellular solution reduced the K+ current amplitude, whereas the K+ current was insensitive to tetraethylammonium. ET‐1 (10 nM) reversibly decreased the K+ current amplitude and accelerated the decay of the K+ current. The ET‐1‐induced inhibitory effect displayed no desensitization following repeated ET‐1 application. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX) or perfusion of cells with the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor H‐7 abolished the inhibitory effect of ET‐1 on the K+ current. We conclude that the outward K+ current recorded in murine B‐16 melanoma cells represents a Ca2+‐inactivated K+ current, and that the inhibitory effect of ET‐1 on the K+ current may reveal a novel mechanism to control the differentiation and proliferation of melanoma cells. 相似文献

The successful use of tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLN) as a source of effector cells for cancer immunotherapy depends largely on the immunogenicity of the tumor drained by the lymph nodes as well as the methods for secondary in vitro T cell activation and expansion. We transferred the bacterial superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) gene into B16 murine melanoma tumor cells, and used them to induce TDLN (SEA TDLN) in syngeneic hosts. Wild-type (wt) TDLN induced by parental B16 tumor was used as a control. In vitro, SEA TDLN cells proliferated more vigorously, produced more IFNγ and demonstrated higher CTL activity than wt TDLN cells when activated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28/IL-2. In vivo, SEA TDLN cells mediated tumor eradication more effectively than similarly activated wt TDLN cells (p<0.01). Furthermore, use of dendritic cells (DC) plus tumor antigen in vitro in addition to anti-CD3/anti-CD28/IL-2 stimulation further amplified the immune function and therapeutic efficacy of SEA TDLN cells. DC-stimulated SEA TDLN cells eliminated nearly 90% of the pulmonary metastasis in mice bearing established B16 melanoma micrometastases. These results indicate that enforced expression of superantigen SEA in poorly immunogenic tumor cells can enhance their immunogenicity as a vaccine in vivo. The combined use of genetically modified tumor cells as vaccine to induce TDLN followed by secondary stimulation using antigen-presenting cells and tumor antigen in a sequential immunization/activation procedure may represent a unique method to generate more potent effector T cells for adoptive immunotherapy of cancer. 相似文献

The current study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of Alchemilla mollis (Buser ) Rothm . (Rosaceae) aerial parts extracts. Chemical composition was analyzed by spectrophotometric and chromatographic (HPLC) techniques. The antioxidant properties assessed included DPPH· and ABTS·+ radical scavenging, β‐carotene‐linoleic acid co‐oxidation assay. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated with disc diffusion and micro dilution method. In order to evaluate toxicity of the extracts, with the sulforhodamine B colorimetric assay L929 cell line (mouse fibroblast) was used. The anti‐inflammatory activities of the potent antioxidant extracts (methanol, 70% methanol, and water extracts) were determined by measuring the inhibitory effects on NO production and pro‐inflammatory cytokine TNF‐α levels in lipopolysaccharide stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. 70% methanol and water extracts which were found to be rich in phenolic compounds (184.79 and 172.60 mg GAE/g extract) showed higher antioxidant activity. Luteolin‐7‐O‐glucoside was the main compound in the extracts. Ethyl acetate and 70% methanol extracts showed higher antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enteritidis with MIC value of 125 μg/ml. 70% methanol extract potentially inhibited the NO and TNF‐α production (18.43 μm and 1556.22 pg/ml, respectively, 6 h). 相似文献
