Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diazepam on isolated hearts of hypothyroid rats.

Methods:  Experimental study was conducted on 4 rat groups. (30; n=7-8) including group I (control), group II which was treated with propylthiouracyl (0.1gr/lit in drinking water for 30 days), group III which was received a daily injection of diazepam 0.5mg/kg for 5 days and group IV which was treated with the same protocol as groups II and III. The isolated hearts passed baseline, ischemia and reperfusion. Left ventricular developed pressure, heart rate and rate pressure product (RPP) were calculated. The released lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured in effluent.

Results: RPP significantly decreased in the group II compared with group I and IV (p=0.001) at baseline. Recovery percentage in reperfusion significantly increased in group II versus I and IV (P=0.009, P=0.002 respectively). The LDH in the group II was significantly lower than that of I and II (P=0.014, P=0.004 respectively). 

Conclusion: The cardiac function is affected by hypothyroidism including decreased RPP at baseline and increased recovery percentage in reperfusion. Diazepam eliminated these effects, probably through affecting on mitochondrial peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (PBR) densities and cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels.

Abstract:

3D printing is a manufacturing method in which objects are made by fusing or depositing materials such as plastic, metal, ceramics, powders, liquids, or even living cells—in layers to produce a 3D object.  This printing has ample number of applications and has acquired much regard in the medical era. Due to its constantly enhancing standard, the use of this technology on patients has increased immensely. It is also used to produce artificial tissues that can be used for testing drugs for the whole pharmaceutical industry. This process is also called additive manufacturing (AM), rapid prototyping (RP), or solid free-form technology (SFF). The printers are similar to inkjet printers but the end products are different. 3D printing medical devices are classified into three classes, viz., Class I, Class II and Class III including Low Risk Devices, Intermediate Risk Devices and High-Risk Devices respectively. The current applications of this technology in the field of medicine are prevalent in Medical Research, Education and Training and most importantly in Individual Patient Care. There are also several controversies and barriers regarding its safety and security, copyright concerns, patent, regulatory concerns etc. A study by Market Research Future (MRFR) reports that the Global 3D Printing Medical Devices Market is likely to witness exponential growth over the forecast period 2018 to 2023. The market is likely to expand at an approximate CAGR of 18% over the forecast period. In this review, we would like to throw light on the aforementioned technology and its effective application in medical field.

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a disease which is prevalent worldwide. A recent computational study concluded that 1,3-diketone compounds may exhibit antibacterial properties suggesting that they could be used to develop novel antitubercular drugs (Muddassar et al, 2010). Other studies have shown the growing importance of 1,3-diketones in organic synthetic chemistry and how derivatives of these compounds are being used to develop antibacterial agents. Based on this information, A method was employed to synthesise four derivates of Muddassar’s 1,3-diketone compound through the use of Baker-Venkataraman’s rearrangement with yields between 37-69% were achieved. Higher yields could have been achieved if reaction mixtures were left to reflux for a full 24 hours. Spectral studies and other analytical techniques were used to characterise compounds 1-4. Compounds 1,2 & 4 were characterised to some degree mostly from NMR spectral studies with compound 2 only being characterised partially by IR spectroscopy and Mass spectroscopy. Full characterisation of these compounds however was inconclusive due to the quality of data acquired and further studies are required. Future work could see more thorough characterisation techniques which may involve more in depth analytical techniques such as two-dimensional NMR. Future studies could carry out synthesis of other diketones in the interest of biological activity studies.

Abstract:

Speeding the development of novel drug candidates:

Traditionally, drug discovery and development are very time- and resource-consuming processes. Designing new drugs that bind to a specified protein target requires finding the best molecule in a vast chemical space. With an estimated 10⁶⁵ stable molecules with a molecular weight below 850 available for exploration; examining this space by direct enumeration and evaluation is prohibitively costly. Cloud Pharmaceuticals’ Quantum Molecular Design (QMD) process enables an efficient and accurate search of this chemical space. QMD uses a combination of reverse engineering and Artificial Intelligence methods to map from a set of desired properties to realistic chemical structures.

Among the desired properties is the ability of a molecule to penetrate the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB.) Cloud has designed a proprietary method for BBB permeability calculation.

QMD’s proprietary technology combines artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing to search virtual chemical space which enables the rapid and accurate discovery, design, and development of new therapeutics to improve human health and wellbeing and represents a paradigm shift in computational drug design, with broad applications in drug discovery.

As an undergraduate worked on a computational research project with Dr. R.J.K.U. Ranatunga on Molecular docking and cell penetrating peptides as drug delivery agents. Joined Prof. Jose Gascon’s laboratory at University of Connecticut (USA) in 2019 to pursue a Ph.D. Currently focusing on siRNA therapeutics and Molecular Modeling of Monolayer Protected Gold Clusters used as biosensors and drug delivery agents.

Abstract:

A major difficulty faced in administering active molecules as therapeutic agents is their inability to reach specified target sites. Discovery of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) represent a potential breakthrough for the transport of a range of biological cargos. CPPs, which are small peptidic molecules capable of translocating through cell membranes, have received significant attention due to their low cytotoxicity and high transduction efficiency. They are classified as cationic, amphipathic and hydrophobic depending on their physicochemical characteristics. Permeation mechanisms of CPPs are not fully understood. There is evidence for both energy dependent and energy independent pathways.

Here we study four CPPs (penetratin, C6, transportan, and K-FGF) to investigate the effect of synergism of multiple peptides in translocation through DOPC bilayers. Results of all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) computer simulations show that all CPPs have stable α-helical secondary structures. Moreover, translocation free energy profiles for a single peptide and multi-peptide systems were constructed through coarse grained MD simulations. Free energy profiles indicate that all CPPs spontaneously adsorb on to the surface of the bilayer and the synergism facilitates the spontaneous adsorption. Furthermore, although none of the peptides showed spontaneous translocation for individual peptides, in the case of C6 and K-FGF, synergism has facilitated translocation by reducing the energy barrier.

Abstract:

Validity of Renal Denervation for the treatment of resistant hypertension. Experience in Honduras.

Approximately 25% of the adult population of the industrialized countries suffers from arterial hypertension. Within this population there is a subgroup that despite an optimal treatment that includes 3 or more classes of drugs at maximum dose persists with high blood pressure figures both in the office and in the 24-hour monitoring. (AMBP). This is a population that represents 4-5% and has a very high risk of complications and cardiovascular, renal and cerebrovascular comorbidities with high mortality. Hence the importance of its detection and control in specialized units of HTA.

From the physiopathological point of view there are subtypes of resistant hypertension where sympathetic hyperactivity plays a central role. Hence the advent of non-pharmacological co-adjuvant therapies that aim to decrease renal sympathetic activity. The most studied and most experienced clinical method is Kidney Sympathetic Denervation with radiofrequency catheter. There are several designs on the market. Despite the good results in the first studies: SYMPLICITY-HTN I and SYMPLICITY-HTN II. There was a slowdown in the use of this treatment as a result of the disappointing results of SYMPLICITY-HTN III.

In this review we make a critical analysis of the SYMPLICITY-HTN III study and review the latest evidence demonstrating the current validity of the method in this specific subgroup of true hypertensive resistant patients, the importance of adequate selection and operator experience. We also show the results of the local experience where we observed a high percentage of responders in relation to the technique used, since from the first cases we used an off-label technique where a greater number of applications are made on average 8 per artery and in Secondary branches smaller than 4 mm. In perspective we analyze the results with multipolar devices of more recent design, their advantages and impact on the results.

Abstract

Fast-dissolving formulations represent excellent opportunities for life cycle management to the pharmaceutical companies. Fast dissolving technologies have many advantages like ease of swallowing, administration without water, quick onset of action for improving both patient convenience and compliance as benefits for the patient; extended life cycle, product differentiation, patent protection as benefits for pharmaceutical companies... But there are some challenges for formulation development studies like taste-masking, disintegration time, moisture sensitivity, friability, packaging and intellectual property issues, especially for the generic companies. The technologies are under patent protection like Zydis ® , Flashtab®, OraSolv® and DuraSolv™, WOWTAB®.... One of the major issues is a taste-masking problem may be overcome with using cyclodextrins, polymer coating, flavoring&sweetening agent, micro encapsulation techniques... There are some modified excipients for providing both taste-masking and productability properties in the formulation like Ludiflash®, Pharmaburst®... From the analytical development point of view, there are a number of different methods from conventional dosage forms which are determined in the Pharmacopoeias. And for comparison and assessment of taste masking, electronic tongue may be a good opportunity which was developed by Alpha

M.O.S. In the sense of generic companies, developing a fast dissolving tablets version of an existing immediate-release product means that the two formulations must be bioequivalent and this can be challenging for in-vivo studies especially if the method of taste masking retards the dissolution rate of the active ingredient after disintegration. What about the future of fast dissolving technologies? Orally disintegrating extended Release (ODT-ER) dosage forms are providing all of the benefits of these two drug delivery technologies in a single pharmaceutical product. And oral rapid films also may be a good alternative, especially for the OTC market.
