Potentiation of harringtonine cytotoxicity by calcium antagonist diltiazem and biscoclaurine alkaloid cepharanthine in adriamycin-resistant P388 murine leukemia and K562 human leukemia cells

Harringtonine showed cross resistance in adriamycin-resistant murine leukemia P388 (P388/ADM) and human leukemia K562 (K562/ADM) cells. The relative resistance of the P388/ADM and K562/ADM cells to harringtonine was about 7 and 40, respectively. Calcium influx blockers, diltiazem and the biscoclaurine alkaloid cepharanthine enhanced the cytotoxicity of harringtonine in P388/ADM and K562/ADM cells. The extent of enhancement was different for the two drugs, and up to a 9- to 10-fold increase in harringtonine cytotoxicity occurred in P388/ADM cells, and 14- to 22-fold enhancement in K562/ADM cells with diltiazem or cepharanthine. Harringtonine resistance of P388/ADM was circumvented completely, and the resistance of K562/ADM was circumvented partially, by diltiazem or cepharanthine. The mechanism of enhanced cytotoxicity by diltiazem and cepharanthine is probably inhibition of active efflux of harringtonine in P388/ADM and K562/ADM cells.     

Modelling basic features of specificity in the binding of a dicationic steroid diamine to double-stranded oligonucleotides.

An investigation of the intrinsically preferred binding modes of a steroid diamine, dipyrandium, to the double-stranded hexanucleotides d(TATATA)2, d(ATATAT)2, and d(CGCGCG)2 is carried out by the energy minimization procedure JUMNA. Several alternative binding modes are compared: groove binding in which the conformation of the oligonucleotide remains close to that of B-DNA, intercalation between base-pairs and interaction with variously kinked structures in which base pairs of dinucleoside steps open towards the groove in which the binding occurs. The favored binding configuration occurs at the d(TpA) step of the AT kinked nucleotides in which the kink opens the base pairs towards the minor groove. Thus, for the d(T1A2T3A4T5A6)2 sequences the preferred complexation involves the kink at the T3A4 step facing the cyclohexane rings A, B, and C of the ligand. For the d(A1T2A3T4A5T6)2 sequence, the kink occurs at the T2A3 step facing the cationic pyrrolidine ring linked to ring A. The binding of dipyrandium to d(CGCGCG)2 is found to be considerably less favourable than for either of the two (AT) sequences.     

大鼠隔—海马通路损伤对海马内递质含量及酶活力的影响

单侧切断大鼠海马缴和部分穹窿可使海马部分去神经。损伤后7d,海马内胆碱能系统中乙酰胆碱(ACh)含量下降72.5%,胆碱乙酰基转移酶(ChAT)活力下降45.7%,胆碱酯酶活力下降52.2%,在单胺能系统中,去甲肾上腺素(NA)含量下降16.3%,多巴胺(DA)含量下降31.3%,5-羟色胺含量下降30.3%。在损伤过程中,海马内氨基酸含量没有改变。实验结果表明,海马缴和穹窿是脑内胆碱能和单胺能传入神经到达海马靶区的部分共同通路。     

The effects of calcium channel blockers on isoproterenol induced cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate generation in intact human lymphocytes

We have investigated the effects of clinically available calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem) on isoproterenol stimulated cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) generation in intact human lymphocytes. After preincubation of various calcium antagonists with intact lymphocytes at 37 degrees C for 15 minutes, 10 microM nifedipine or verapamil partially inhibited isoproterenol induced cyclic AMP generation in the presence of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) while they alone had no effect on cyclic AMP level at a concentration of up to 100 microM. In contrast, 10 nM-1.0 microM nifedipine, verapamil or diltiazem potentiated cyclic AMP generation induced by isoproterenol in a dose dependent manner. Similar results were observed in the time course studies of cyclic AMP generation. These effects are somewhat similar to the effect of phenothiazine, a calmodulin inhibitor, which, at 10 microM (close to IC50), also potentiated the effects of isoproterenol. In contrast, lanthanum chloride (LaCl3), an extracellular inorganic calcium antagonist, at 1.0 mM, inhibited isoproterenol induced cyclic AMP generation. The biochemical mechanisms underlying these potentiating effects are unknown. It may be partly related to the effect of calcium channel blockers (at least for nifedipine) on preventing beta 2 adrenergic receptor desensitization. This may provide a potential mechanism for the synergistic effect between calcium channel blockers and beta 2 adrenoceptor agonists on bronchial dilatation.
