Hence, synthesizing innovative and varied derivatives of quinoline has gained considerable attention among chemists and biologists. This study evaluated the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effect of tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline on Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) human breast cancer cells. Methods: The anti-proliferative effect of tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline was studied via MTT [3 0-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assays. A quantitative and qualitative study of apoptosis was carried out via flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and immunoblotting analysis were employed to identify the expression level of genes and proteins involved in the apoptosis signaling pathway. Results: The synthesized compound reduced 50% of cell growth at concentrations of 10 and 7.5 µM during 24 and 48h, respectively, and induced apoptosis up to 30% in MCF-7 cancer cells. Regarding the gene expression level, Bcl-2 displayed considerable alleviation, whereas Bax expression increased significantly. Despite the remarkable increase in caspase 9 expression, there was no noticeable difference in the caspase 8 expression in treated cells compared to the control group. Western blotting data showed that the protein expression level of Bcl-2, pro-caspase 8, and 9 reduced. The protein content of Bax, cleaved-caspase 8, and 9 increased significantly, of which the protein level of cleaved-caspase 9 exhibited a tremendous rise in the treated group. Conclusion: The newly synthesized tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline can be a promising organic compound for cancer treatment if its anti-cancer effect investigates by other types of breast cancer cells. In vivo studies should be used to investigate the anti-cancer efficiency of this compound.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81118955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As antiviral drugs could be metabolized to their associated compounds and toxicologically and pharmacologically interfere with the parent drugs, identifying the therapeutic range of drugs would be notable. Methods: In the current study, copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) are synthesized during the reduction of copper nitrate with hydrazine hydrate in a protected media and used as a nanoprobe for the determination of sofosbuvir in plasma samples. Herein, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) is used for monitoring of fluorescence variation of nanoprobe owing to the excessive benefits compared with the traditional fluorescence. Results: SFS peak of Cu NCs has appeared at 355 nm with ∆λ=80 nm which is decreased in the presence of sofosbuvir. To optimize the reaction factors, a response surface methodology is used and in the optimized conditions, a linear concentration-response plot is obtained in a range of 0.05-6.0 µg mL−1 with a limit of detection of 0.0147 µg mL−1.

Also, it is well known that aberrant expression of specific transcription factors can be involved in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Objective: Herein, we aimed to suppress EZH2 expression in MOLT-4 cells, T-ALL (T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) cell line, and evaluate the role of EZH2 on the expression of transcription factors that regulate T cell maturation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Methods: EZH2-siRNA was transfected into MOLT-4 cells, and the expression levels of EZH2, NOTCH1, TCF1, IKZF1, and NFATC1 were measured using real-time PCR. The MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay was performed to study the effect of EZH2 knockdown on MOLT-4 cell viability. The apoptosis rate of EZH2-siRNA transfected cells was assessed by flow cytometry. The interaction of mentioned genes was investigated using STRING and GO (gene ontology). Results: Our results have shown that EZH2-siRNA transfection can substantially decrease EZH2 expression in MOLT-4 cells. Besides, EZH2 suppression can upregulate NOTCH1, TCF1, IKZF1, and NFATC1 expression levels. EZH2 knockdown does not affect the viability and apoptosis of MOLT-4 cells. The most remarkable protein-protein interaction of EZH2 has been with NOTCH1. Besides, GO analysis has demonstrated that EZH2, NOTCH1, TCF1, IKZF1, and NFATC1 were located within nucleoplasm and can regulate RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. Conclusion: Our results have shown that MOLT-4 cells harbor increased expression of EZH2 in comparison with normal human T cells. EZH2 knockdown can upregulate the expression of the transcription factors involved in T cell differentiation. Thus, EZH2 can halt the differentiation of immature lymphoblastic T cells.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"601 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77306377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new technique uses lipid-polymeric hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) with a polymeric core, and a shell made up of lipid-lipid-PEG lipids. They have properties which complement polymer nanoparticles and liposomes, and they have the potential to improve the physical stability and biocompatibility of the active pharmaceutical ingredient encapsulated in them. Evaporating the solvent from a dual-phase solution containing lipid and polymer is one of the most effective methods for producing the lipid polymeric hybrid nanoparticles. The LPHNPs applications has also been significantly expanded to include combinational and active targeted drug delivery, as well as delivery of genetic materials, vaccines, and diagnostic imaging agents, in addition to single drug delivery for anticancer therapy, like Glioblastoma. Main goal: The main agenda of this compilation was to address the effects of LPHNPs on Glioblastoma treatment. This compilation also highlights some of the formulation techniques and issues that arise during the preparation of LPHNPs. This review also discusses recent developments in core-shell lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles, which were conferred in considerable detail later in this article. Conclusion: The main issue which arises while using nanoparticles with polymer is entrapment efficiency. Because of their hybrid components, LPHNPs have proven to solve this problem to a large extent. The recent research trends suggest that lipid polymeric hybrid nanoparticles will prove to be highly effective or productive in treating diseases such as Glioblastoma.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89469761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Encapsulation by spray dryer creates protection toward the phenolic compounds as an efficient way for increasing product performance. Method: The phenolic compounds of Satureja khuzistanica Jamzad (SKH) and S. rechingeri Jamzad (SRH) were enriched based on adsorbent resin column chromatography and the enrichment index was confirmed by HPLC-UV analysis. Gum Arabic, carboxylated chitosan, and pectin with the optimum percentage of 1% w/w used to encapsulate SKH and SRH by the spray drying technique. Result: Encapsulation yield was 38.18 – 59.00 %, particle size ranged 2.278 - 4.689 µm, and release time was between 4.08 - 82.08 min. The gum Arabic-based capsules showed the fastest and pectin-based revealed the slowest release time. The best statistical model explained a release mechanism was Korsmeyer model. Anomalous transport was observed from all formulas except SKH-gum Arabic (case-I transport), SKH-pectin, and SRH-carboxylated-chitosan (super case-II transport). The cytotoxic activity of encapsulate SKH’s revealed reducing the viability of AGS evaluated by the MTT compared with SRH’s.

There is limited or no evidence concerning the effective treatment of METH withdrawal symptoms, such as depression and anxiety. Mode of action of selegiline (increase of the brain neurotransmitter activity) suggests that it might be useful in METH withdrawal syndrome treatment, being capable of diminishing the preference and depression involved in drug degeneration and addictive activities. Methods: Mice were randomly divided into 10 groups (n= 10): five METH-nondependent groups treated with normal saline intraperitoneal (i.p) for two weeks, to which, from the 15th day, selegiline (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg; i.p) or fluoxetine (5 mg/kg; i.p) was administrated for 10 consecutive days. Other groups injected METH (2 mg/kg, at 12-h intervals) for 14 days. From the 15th day, the 10-day period of METH abstinence started and the above-mentioned doses of selegiline or fluoxetine were injected. Then, the mice were evaluated for depression and biochemical assessments from the 25th day of the study. Results: Our data indicated that post-treatment with selegiline (10-40 mg/kg; i.p) for 10 days reversed METH-induced depressive-like behaviors in the forced swimming test (FST), tail suspension test (TST), and splash test with exerting no effects on the locomotor activity. Furthermore, none of the previously proposed treatments affected the behavioral abnormality in the control animals. Moreover, both selegiline and fluoxetine as standard antidepressant drug, substantially improved the levels of mitochondrial reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that selegiline produced antidepressant-like effects following METH withdrawal and prevented the mitochondrial dysfunction in the male mice.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83317418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They contain synthetic analogues of estrogen and progesterone hormones. Estrogen is an important hormone that plays a significant role in menstrual cycle, ovulation, fertilization and implantation. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) can modulate the ovulation, fertilization or receptivity of the uterus. Oral contraceptives pose mild to severe adverse effects such as menstrual cycle disorders, metabolic alterations and increased risk of cancers. It is essential to identify and screen alternative contraceptives that are safer to use. The present study was aimed at identifying the compounds from Cissampelos pareira that is traditionally used for antifertility activity. Methods: The compounds reported from the plant are collected and prepared using the protein preparation wizard. The protein, ERα was selected from protein data bank (1G5O) and prepared. The ligands were docked with the protein and the hits were selected for further screening of free energy calculation, induced fit docking and molecular dynamics simulations based on the respective scores and various interactions. Results: Among various compounds, Coclaurine and Norruffscine have been identified to interact with ERα and possess similar interactions as that of the endogenous ligand, estradiol. The compounds also showed drug-like properties in Qikprop analysis and promising result in the molecular dynamics simulation studies.

Tumor debulking surgery followed by Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the first line of ovarian cancer therapy. However, many patients experience a relapse of the disease due to chemotherapy resistance. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the ability of microwave (MW) radiation to increase the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells toward Cisplatin (Cis). Methods: Firstly we designed a hand-made electromagnetic field exposure system and CO2 incubator to irradiate cells with a frequency equal to 2450±30 MHz and a power density of 2.47 mW/cm2 at a distance of 30 cm from the antenna. Two ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 (Cisplatin-sensitive) and A2780CP (Cisplatin-resistant) were subjected to either Cis, MW alone or Cisplatin + microwave radiation (Cis+MW). Cell viability, apoptosis, and P53 gene expression was assessed following drug/radiation exposure. Results: After 48 hours of treatment the combination of Cis and MW radiation has significantly inhibited the growth of the A2780 and A2780CP cell lines in comparison with Cis-control groups. The percentages of early apoptosis induced by Cis+MW was significantly increased in comparison with Cis alone. P53 expression was significantly upregulated after treatment with Cis+MW. Conclusion: It can be concluded that MW radiation has been able to decrease the resistance of ovarian cancer cells to Cis and it may improve the chemotherapy protocol for ovarian cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":31004,"journal":{"name":"Infarma Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72530881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
