Abstract
Some glycoside drugs can be transported through intestinal glucose transporters (IGTs). The surfactants used in oral drug preparations can affect the function of transporter proteins. This study aimed to investigate the effect of commonly used surfactants, Poloxamer 188 and Tween 80, on the drug transport capacity of IGTs. Previous studies have shown that gastrodin is the optimal drug substrate for IGTs. Gastrodin was used as a probe drug to evaluate the effect of these two surfactants on intestinal absorption in SD rats through pharmacokinetic and in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion. Then, the effects of the two surfactants on the expression of glucose transporters and tight-junction proteins were examined using RT-PCR and western blotting. Additionally, the effect of surfactants on intestinal permeability was evaluated through hematoxylin-eosin staining. The results found that all experimental for Poloxamer 188 (0.5%, 2.0% and 8.0%) and Tween 80 (0.1% and 2.0%) were not significantly different from those of the blank group. However, the AUC(0-∞) of gastrodin increased by approximately 32% when 0.5% Tween 80 was used. The changes in IGT expression correlated with the intestinal absorption of gastrodin. A significant increase in the expression of IGTs was observed at 0.5% Tween 80. In conclusion, Poloxamer 188 had minimal effect on the drug transport capacity of IGTs within the recommended limits of use. However, the expression of IGTs increased in response to 0.5% Tween 80, which significantly enhanced the drug transport capacity of IGTs. However, 0.1% and 2.0% Tween 80 had no significant effect.

[PMID: 38280469 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
As a bioactive saponin derived from the seeds of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H. F. Chow, jujuboside B (JuB) shows great potential in anti-anxiety, anti-depression and improving learning and memory function. However, its oral bioavailability is very poor. In this study, a novel drug-loading nanoparticles system was prepared with polyethylene glycol and polylactic-co-glycolic acid copolymer (PEG-PLGA), and further modified with L-carnitine (LC) to target intestinal organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (OCTN2) to improve the oral absorption of JuB. Under the optimized preparation conditions, the particle sizes of obtained JuB-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles (B-NPs) and LC modified B-NPs (LC-B-NPs) were 110.67 ± 11.37 nm and 134.00 ± 2.00 nm with the entrapment efficiency (EE%) 73.46 ± 1.26 % and 76.01 ± 2.10 %, respectively. The pharmacokinetics in SD rats showed that B-NPs and LC-B-NPs increased the bioavailability of JuB to 134.33 % and 159.04 % respectively. In Caco-2 cell model, the prepared nanoparticles significantly increased cell uptake of JuB, which verified the pharmacokinetic results. The absorption of LC-B-NPs mainly depended on OCTN2 transporter, and Na+ played an important role. Caveolin and clathrin were involved in the endocytosis of the two nanoparticles. In conclusion, both B-NPs and LC-B-NPs can improve the oral absorption of JuB, and the modification of LC can effectively target the OCTN2 transporter.

Neuropharmacological assessment and identification of possible lead compound (apomorphine) from Hygrophila spinosa through in-vivo and in-silico approaches. J Biomol Struct Dyn 2024:1-16.

Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine possible neurological activity of methanol, ethyl acetate, and aqueous extracts of Hygrophila spinosa and identify possible lead compounds through in silico analysis. In vivo, neuropharmacological activity was evaluated by using four distinct neuropharmacological assessment assays. Previously reported GC-MS data and earlier literature were utilized to identify the phytochemicals present in Hygrophila spinosa. Computational studies notably molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations were conducted with responsible receptors to assess the stability of the best interacting compound. Pharmacokinetics properties like absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity were considered to evaluate the drug likeliness properties of the identified compounds. All the in vivo results support the notion that different extracts (methanol, ethyl acetate, and aqueous) of Hygrophila spinosa have significant (*p = 0.05) sedative-hypnotic, anxiolytic, and anti-depressant activity. Among all the extracts, specifically methanol extracts of Hygrophila spinosa (MHS 400 mg/kg.b.w.) showed better sedative, anxiolytic and antidepressant activity than aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts. In silico molecular docking analysis revealed that among 53 compounds 7 compounds showed good binding affinities and one compound, namely apomorphine (CID: 6005), surprisingly showed promising binding affinity to all the receptors . An analysis of molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that apomorphine (CID: 6005) had a high level of stability at the protein binding site. Evidence suggests that Hygrophila spinosa has significant sedative, anxiolytic, and antidepressant activity. In silico analysis revealed that a particular compound (apomorphine) is responsible for this action. Further research is required in order to establish apomorphine as a drug for anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

[PMID: 37032382 PMCID: PMC10084597 DOI: 10.1186/s40780-023-00281-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by melting or necrosis of skeletal muscle cells and leakage of muscle components into the bloodstream. It has been reported that the interaction of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin with the renal anemia drug vadadustat increases the blood concentration of rosuvastatin in vitro. In this study, we report a case of suspected rhabdomyolysis caused by the drug interaction of rosuvastatin and vadadustat in clinical practice. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old male with medical records of hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic renal failure, renal anemia, dyslipidemia, and alcoholic liver disease. The patient had been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at the Department of Nephrology, and treated by outpatient care with renal support therapy for the past two years. On X-63 day, his prescription was rosuvastatin (10 mg/day) and a continuous erythrocyte-stimulating agent, epoetin beta pegol (genetical recombination, 100 μg). X-Day 0, blood tests revealed creatine phosphokinase (CPK) 298 U/L, serum creatinine (SCr) 5.26 mg/dL, and hemoglobin (Hb) 9.5 g/dL; thus, the prescription was changed from epoetin beta pegol 100 μg to vadadustat 300 mg/day. On X + day 80, a prescription for a diuretic (azosemide 15 mg/day) was added for swelling of the lower extremities. On X + day 105, we found CPK 16,509 U/L, SCr 6.51 mg/dL, and Hb 9.5 g/dL. The patient was diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis and hospitalized. After hospitalization, rosuvastatin and vadadustat were discontinued and we administered intravenous fluids. Thereafter, CPK and SCr values of the patient improved. On X + day 122, CPK improved to 29 U/L, SCr to 2.6 mg/dL, and Hb to 9.6 g/dL, and he was discharged on X + day 124. At discharge, rosuvastatin 2.5 mg/day was resumed. A blood test on X + day 133 showed CPK 144 U/L and SCr 4.2 mg/dL. CONCLUSION We experienced a case of rhabdomyolysis caused by drug interactions between rosuvastatin and vadadustat.

Abstract
Extensive phase II metabolic reactions (i.e., glucuronidation and sulfation) have resulted in low bioavailability and decreased biological effects of curcumin and quercetin. Compared to glucuronidation, information on the sulfation disposition of curcumin and quercetin is limited. In this study, we identified that BCRP and MRP4 played a critical role in the cellular excretion of curcumin-O-sulfate (C-O-S) and quercetin-O-sulfate (Q-O-S) by integrating chemical inhibition with transporter knock-down experiments. Inhibited excretion of sulfate (C-O-S and Q-O-S) caused significant reductions in cellular O-sulfation of curcumin (a maximal 74.4% reduction) and quercetin (a maximal 76.9% reduction), revealing a strong interplay of sulfation with efflux transport. It was further identified that arylsulfatase B (ARSB) played a crucial role in the regulation of cellular O-sulfation by transporters. ARSB overexpression significantly enhanced the reduction effect of MK-571 on the cellular O-sulfation (fmet) of the model compound (38.8% reduction for curcumin and 44.2% reduction for quercetin). On the contrary, ARSB knockdown could reverse the effect of MK-571 on the O-sulfation disposition of the model compound (29.7% increase for curcumin and 47.3% increase for quercetin). Taken together, ARSB has been proven to be involved in cellular O-sulfation, accounting for transporter-dependent O-sulfation of curcumin and quercetin. A better understanding of the interplay beneath metabolism and transport will contribute to the exact prediction of in vivo drug disposition and drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
The purinergic 2Y type 12 receptor (P2Y12R) is a well-known biological target for anti-thrombotic drugs due to its role in platelet aggregation and blood clotting. While the importance of the P2Y12R in the periphery has been known for decades, much less is known about its expression and roles in the central nervous system (CNS), where it is expressed exclusively on microglia - the first responders to brain insults and neurodegeneration. Several seminal studies have shown that P2Y12 is a robust, translatable biomarker for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective microglial phenotypes in models of degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. An enduring problem for studying this receptor in vivo, however, is the lack of selective, high-affinity small molecule ligands that can bypass the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in the CNS. In this Digest, we discuss previous attempts by researchers to target the P2Y12R in the CNS and opine on strategies that may be employed to design and assess the suitability of novel P2Y12 ligands for this purpose going forward.
