IntroductionThis open-label pilot study aimed to investigate the efficacy of canakinumab in colchicine-resistant familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients.MethodPatients with one or more attacks in a month in the preceding 3 months despite colchicine were eligible to enter a 30-day run-in period. Patients who had an attack during the first run-in period advanced to a second 30-day period. At the first attack, patients started to receive three canakinumab 150 mg subcutaneous injections at 4-week intervals, and were then followed for an additional 2 months. Primary efficacy outcome measure was the proportion of patients with 50 % or more reduction in attack frequency. Secondary outcome measures included time to next attack following last canakinumab dose and changes in quality of life assessed by SF-36.ResultsThirteen patients were enrolled in the run-in period and 9 advanced to the treatment period. All 9 patients achieved a 50 % or more reduction in attack frequency, and only one patient had an attack during the treatment period. C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A protein levels remained low throughout the treatment period. Significant improvement was observed in both physical and mental component scores of the Short Form-36 at Day 8. Five patients had an attack during the 2-month follow-up, occurring median 71 (range, 31 to 78) days after the last dose. Adverse events were similar to those observed in the previous canakinumab trials.ConclusionCanakinumab was effective at controlling the attack recurrence in patients with FMF resistant to colchicine. Further investigations are warranted to explore canakinumab’s potential in the treatment of patients with colchicine resistant FMF.

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are inhibited by sulfonamides, inorganic anions, phenols, coumarins (acting as prodrugs) and polyamines. A novel class of CA inhibitors (CAIs), interacting with the CA isozymes I, II (cytosolic) and IX, XII (transmembrane, tumor-associated) in a different manner, is reported here. Kinetic measurements allowed us to identify hydroxy-/methoxy-substituted benzoic acids as well as di-/tri-methoxy benzenes as submicromolar-low micromolar inhibitors of the four CA isozymes. Molecular docking studies of a set of such inhibitors within CA I and II allowed us to understand the inhibition mechanism. This new class of inhibitors binds differently compared to all other classes of inhibitors known to date: they were found between the phenol-binding site and the coumarin-binding site, filling thus the middle of the enzyme cavity. They exploit different interactions with amino acid residues and water molecules from the CA active site compared to other classes of inhibitors, offering the possibility to design CAIs with an interesting inhibition profile compared to the clinically used sulfonamides/sulfamates. 相似文献

In avian smooth muscles, GTPgammaS produces a Rho kinase mediated increase in PHI-1 phosphorylation and force, but whether this correlation is causal is unknown. We examined the effect of phosphorylated PHI-1 (P-PHI-1) on force and myosin light chain (MLC(20)) phosphorylation at a constant [Ca(2+)]. P-PHI-1, but not PHI-1, increased MLC(20) phosphorylation and force, and phosphorylation of PHI-1 increased the interaction of PHI-1 with PP1c. Microcystin induced a dose-dependent reduction in the binding of PHI-1 to PP1c. These results suggest PHI-1 inhibits myosin light chain phosphatase by interacting with the active site of PP1c to produce a Ca(2+) independent increase in MLC(20) phosphorylation and force. 相似文献

A series of sulfonamide derivatives incorporating substituted 3-formylchromone moieties were investigated for the inhibition of three human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, hCA I, II, and VI. All these compounds, together with the clinically used sulfonamide acetazolamide, were investigated as inhibitors of the physiologically relevant isozymes I, II (cytosolic), and VI (secreted isoform). These sulfonamides showed effective inhibition against all these isoforms with K(I)'s in the range of 0.228 to 118 μM. Such molecules can be used as leads for discovery of novel effective CA inhibitors against other isoforms with medicinal chemistry applications. 相似文献

In the present study, some acetamide derivatives were synthesized and their potential analgesic activities were investigated. N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[(1-substituted-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]acetamide derivatives were obtained by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 2-chloro-N-(benzothiazole-2-yl)acetamides with appropriate tetrazol-5-thioles. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FAB?-MS spectral data and elemental analyses. The prepared compounds were investigated for their potential analgesic properties against thermal, mechanical and chemical nociceptive stimuli using hot-plate, tail-clip and acetic acid-induced writhing tests, respectively. The assessment of motor coordination was carried out using Rota-Rod test. Tested compounds applied at 100 mg/kg doses caused significant decrease in acetic acid-induced writhing responses and increase in hot-plate and tail-clip latencies. None of the compounds exhibited destructive effect on motor coordination of the mice in Rota-Rod performance. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrases (CA) catalyze activated ester hydrolysis in addition to the hydration of CO(2) to bicarbonate. They also show phosphatase activity with 4-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate but not sulfatase with the corresponding sulfate. Here we prove that the enzyme is catalyzing the synthesis of cyclic diols from sulfate esters. 5-, 6- and 8-membered ring cyclic sulfates incorporating a neighboring secondary alcohol moiety were treated with CA II and yielded the corresponding cyclic diols. Inhibitory properties of obtained cyclic and original sulfate esters were then investigated on human carbonic anhydrase I (hCA I), hCA II, hCA IV and hCA VI (h?=?human isoform). K(I)-s of these compounds ranged between 32.7-423 μM against hCA I, 2.13-32.4 μM against hCA II, 13.7-234 μM against hCA IV and 76-278 μM against CA VI, respectively. The sulfatase activity of CA with such esters is amazing considering the fact that 4-nitrophenyl-sulfate is not a substrate of these enzymes. 相似文献

(2-Bromo-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanone (10) and its derivatives with Br, one dibromide and isomeric three tribromides, were synthesized. Demethylation of these compounds afforded a series of new bromophenols. Inhibition of human cytosolic carbonic anhydrase II (hCA II) isozyme by these new bromophenols and naturally occurring 3,4,6-tribromo-5-(2,5-dibromo-3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)benzene-1,2-diol (3), and 5,5'-methylenebis(3,4,6-tribromo-benzene-1,2-diol) (4) was investigated. The synthesized compounds showed carbonic anhydrase inhibitory capacities with IC(50) values in the range of 0.7-372 μM against hCA II. Some bromophenols investigated here showed effective hCA II inhibitory activity and might be used as leads for generating novel carbonic anhydrase inhibitors which are valuable drug candidates for the treatment of glaucoma, epilepsy, gastric and duodenal ulcers, neurological disorders, or osteoporosis. 相似文献

Trajectory perception is crucial in scene understanding and action. A variety of trajectory misperceptions have been reported in the literature. In this study, we quantify earlier observations that reported distortions in the perceived shape of bilinear trajectories and in the perceived positions of their deviation. Our results show that bilinear trajectories with deviation angles smaller than 90 deg are perceived smoothed while those with deviation angles larger than 90 degrees are perceived sharpened. The sharpening effect is weaker in magnitude than the smoothing effect. We also found a correlation between the distortion of perceived trajectories and the perceived shift of their deviation point. Finally, using a dual-task paradigm, we found that reducing attentional resources allocated to the moving target causes an increase in the perceived shift of the deviation point of the trajectory. We interpret these results in the context of interactions between motion and position systems. 相似文献
