Abstract
BBT-059, a long-acting PEGylated interleukin-11 (IL-11) analog that is believed to have hematopoietic promoting and anti-apoptotic properties, is being developed as a potential radiation medical countermeasure (MCM) for hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS). This agent has been shown to improve survival in lethally irradiated mice. To further evaluate the drug's toxicity and safety profile, 12 naïve nonhuman primates (NHPs, rhesus macaques) were administered one of three doses of BBT-059 subcutaneously and were monitored for the next 21 days. Blood samples were collected throughout the study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the drug as well as its effects on complete blood counts, cytokines, vital signs, and to conduct metabolomic studies. No adverse effects were detected in any treatment group during the study. Short-term changes in metabolomic profiles were present in all groups treated with BBT-059 beginning immediately after drug administration and reverting to near normal levels by the end of the study period. Several pathways and metabolites, particularly those related to inflammation and steroid hormone biosynthesis, were activated by BBT-059 administration. Taken together, these observations suggest that BBT-059 has a good safety profile for further development as a radiation MCM for regulatory approval for human use.

Abstract
A complex cascade of systemic and tissue-specific responses induced by exposure to ionizing radiation can lead to functional impairment over time in the surviving population. Current methods for management of survivors of unintentional radiation exposure episodes rely on monitoring individuals over time for the development of adverse clinical symptoms due to the lack of predictive biomarkers for tissue injury. In this study, we report on changes in metabolomic and lipidomic profiles in multiple tissues of nonhuman primates (NHPs) that received either 4.0 Gy or 5.8 Gy total-body irradiation (TBI) of 60Co gamma rays, and 4.0 or 5.8 Gy partial-body irradiation (PBI) from LINAC-derived photons and were treated with a promising radiation countermeasure, gamma-tocotrienol (GT3). These include small molecule alterations that correlate with radiation effects in the jejunum, lung, kidney, and spleen of animals that either survived or succumbed to radiation toxicities over a 30-day period. Radiation-induced metabolic changes in tissues were observed in animals exposed to both doses and types of radiation, but were partially alleviated in GT3-treated and irradiated animals, with lung and spleen being most responsive. The majority of the pathways protected by GT3 treatment in these tissues were related to glucose metabolism, inflammation, and aldarate metabolism, suggesting GT3 may exert radioprotective effects in part by sparing these pathways from radiation-induced dysregulation. Taken together, the results of our study demonstrate that the prophylactic administration of GT3 results in metabolic and lipidomic shifts that likely provide an overall advantage against radiation injury. This investigation is among the first to highlight the use of a molecular phenotyping approach in a highly translatable NHP model of partial- and total-body irradiation to determine the underlying physiological mechanisms involved in the radioprotective efficacy of GT3.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation exposure is known to induce molecular and cellular injury, inflicting a cascade of potentially catastrophic events leading to tissue and organ damage. Metabolomic analysis allows for the identification and quantification of small molecules downstream of genomic changes induced by radiation exposure. We aimed to characterize metabolomic changes that underscore the prefinal stage of lethally irradiated rhesus nonhuman primates (NHPs). Peripheral blood was drawn at baseline, post-exposure, as well as at the preterminal stage in NHPs (immediately prior to death in moribund NHPs) that did not survive exposure with 7.2 Gy total-body radiation (LD70/60). Herein, we analyzed global metabolomic changes using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QTOF-MS) in plasma samples of NHPs collected at various timepoints in relation to irradiation. The overall goal was to identify metabolic shifts present immediately prior to death. Our findings showed radiation induced significant time-dependent metabolic perturbations when compared to pre-irradiation profiles, particularly in glycerophospholipid metabolism and steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism pathways. These findings provide valuable insights for identifying biomarkers for lethality, which may be helpful for triage during a mass casualty scenario.

Abstract
Since ancient times, dietary phytochemicals are known for their medicinal properties. They are broadly classified into polyphenols, terpenoids, alkaloids, phytosterols, and organosulfur compounds. Currently, there is considerable interest in their potential health effects against various diseases, including lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths with an average of five-year survival rate of lung cancer patients limited to just 14%. Identifying potential early molecular biomarkers of pre-malignant lung cancer cells may provide a strong basis to develop early cancer detection and interception methods. In this review, we will discuss molecular changes, including genetic alterations, inflammation, signal transduction pathways, redox imbalance, epigenetic and proteomic signatures associated with initiation and progression of lung carcinoma. We will also highlight molecular targets of phytochemicals during lung cancer development. These targets mainly consist of cellular signaling pathways, epigenetic regulators and metabolic reprogramming. With growing interest in natural products research, translation of these compounds into new cancer prevention approaches to medical care will be urgently needed. In this context, we will also discuss the overall pharmacokinetic challenges of phytochemicals in translating to humans. Lastly, we will discuss clinical trials of phytochemicals in lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Threats of radiological or nuclear disasters are of serious concern and a top priority for government agencies involved in domestic security and public health preparedness. There is a need for sensitive bioassays for biodosimetric assessments of radiation exposures originating from unanticipated nuclear/radiological events. The Food and Drug Administration Animal Rule approval pathway requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of radiation injury, drug efficacy and biomarkers for radiation medical countermeasure approval. Biomarkers can be helpful for extrapolating the efficacious countermeasure dose in animals to humans. We summarised here our studies to identify candidate biomarkers for the acute radiation injury using various omic platforms (metabolomics/lipidomics, proteomics, microbiome and transcriptomics/microRNA) using murine and non-human primate models conducted in our laboratory. Multi-omic platforms appear to be highly useful in assessing radiation exposure levels and for identifying biomarkers of radiation injury and countermeasure efficacy, which can expedite the regulatory approval of countermeasures.

Abstract
The risk of internal and external exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) has increased alongside the development and implementation of nuclear technology. Therefore, serious security issues have emerged globally, and there has been an increase in the number of studies focusing on radiological prevention and medical countermeasures. Radioprotective drugs are particularly important components of emergency medical preparedness strategies for the clinical management of IR-induced injuries. However, a few drugs have been approved to date to treat such injuries, and the related mechanisms are not entirely understood. Thus, the aim of the present review was to provide a brief overview of the World Health Organization's updated list of essential medicines for 2023 for the proper management of national stockpiles and the treatment of radiological emergencies. This review also discusses the types of radiation-induced health injuries and the related mechanisms, as well as the development of various radioprotective agents, including Chinese herbal medicines, for which significant survival benefits have been demonstrated in animal models of acute radiation syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiological/nuclear accidents, hostile military activity, or terrorist strikes have the potential to expose a large number of civilians and military personnel to high doses of radiation resulting in the development of acute radiation syndrome and delayed effects of exposure. Thus, there is an urgent need for sensitive and specific assays to assess the levels of radiation exposure to individuals. Such radiation exposures are expected to alter primary cellular proteomic processes, resulting in multifaceted biological responses. AREAS COVERED This article covers the application of proteomics, a promising and fast developing technology based on quantitative and qualitative measurements of protein molecules for possible rapid measurement of radiation exposure levels. Recent advancements in high-resolution chromatography, mass spectrometry, high-throughput, and bioinformatics have resulted in comprehensive (relative quantitation) and precise (absolute quantitation) approaches for the discovery and accuracy of key protein biomarkers of radiation exposure. Such proteome biomarkers might prove useful for assessing radiation exposure levels as well as for extrapolating the pharmaceutical dose of countermeasures for humans based on efficacy data generated using animal models. EXPERT OPINION The field of proteomics promises to be a valuable asset in evaluating levels of radiation exposure and characterizing radiation injury biomarkers.

Abstract
The risk of exposure of the general public or military personnel to high levels of ionizing radiation from nuclear weapons or radiological accidents is a dire national security matter. The development of advanced molecular biodosimetry methods, those that measure biological response, such as transcriptomics, to screen large populations of radiation-exposed victims is key to improving survival outcomes during radiological mass casualty scenarios. In this study, nonhuman primates were exposed to either 12.0 Gy cobalt-60 gamma (total-body irradiation, TBI) or X-ray (partial-body irradiation, PBI) 24 h after administration of a potential radiation medical countermeasure, gamma-tocotrienol (GT3). Changes in the jejunal transcriptomic profiles in GT3-treated and irradiated animals were compared to healthy controls to assess the extent of radiation damage. No major effect of GT3 on radiation-induced transcriptome at this radiation dose was identified. About 80% of the pathways with a known activation or repression state were commonly observed between both exposures. Several common pathways activated due to irradiation include FAK signaling, CREB signaling in the neurons, phagosome formation, and G-protein coupled signaling pathway. Sex-specific differences associated with excessive mortality among irradiated females were identified in this study, including Estrogen receptor signaling. Differential pathway activation was also identified across PBI and TBI, pointing towards altered molecular response for different degrees of bone marrow sparing and radiation doses. This study provides insight into radiation-induced changes in jejunal transcriptional profiles, supporting the investigation for the identification of biomarkers for radiation injury and countermeasure efficacy.

Abstract
A pharmaceutical formulation of genistein, produced as an amorphous solid dispersion by hot melt extrusion (genistein HME), has been developed that can be administered prophylactically to improve outcomes and survival following radiation exposure. Here, genistein HME was evaluated in a phase 1, open-label, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple single dose (MSD) study enrolling 34 healthy volunteers. In the SAD study, participants were administered a single dose (500, 1000, 2000, or 3000 mg) and in the MSD study, participants were administered a single daily dose for six consecutive days (3000 mg/day). The overall adverse event profile and pharmacokinetics of genistein HME were determined. Additionally, biomarkers of genistein HME were evaluated by profiling whole blood for changes in gene expression by RNA sequencing. Genistein HME was found to be safe at doses up to 3000 mg. Most toxicities were mild to moderate gastrointestinal events, and no dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The maximum tolerated dose was not determined and the no observable adverse effect level was 500 mg. Genistein HME bioavailability greatly increased between the 2000 mg and 3000 mg doses. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the majority of drug-related changes in gene expression occurred 8-12 hours after the sixth dose in the MSD study. Based on these results, the putative effective dose in humans is 3000 mg.

Abstract
Increasing utilization of nuclear power enhances the risks associated with industrial accidents, occupational hazards, and the threat of nuclear terrorism. Exposure to ionizing radiation interferes with genomic stability and gene expression resulting in the disruption of normal metabolic processes in cells and organs by inducing complex biological responses. Exposure to high-dose radiation causes acute radiation syndrome, which leads to hematopoietic, gastrointestinal, cerebrovascular, and many other organ-specific injuries. Altered genomic variations, gene expression, metabolite concentrations, and microbiota profiles in blood plasma or tissue samples reflect the whole-body radiation injuries. Hence, multi-omic profiles obtained from high-resolution omics platforms offer a holistic approach for identifying reliable biomarkers to predict the radiation injury of organs and tissues resulting from radiation exposures. In this review, we performed a literature search to systematically catalog the radiation-induced alterations from multi-omic studies and radiation countermeasures. We covered radiation-induced changes in the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, and microbiome profiles. Furthermore, we have covered promising multi-omic biomarkers, FDA-approved countermeasure drugs, and other radiation countermeasures that include radioprotectors and radiomitigators. This review presents an overview of radiation-induced alterations of multi-omics profiles and biomarkers, and associated radiation countermeasures.

LIFE SCIENCES IN SPACE RESEARCH 2022; 35:20-29.

Abstract
There is a need to develop and deploy medical countermeasures (MCMs) in order to support astronauts during space missions against excessive exposures to ionizing radiation exposure. The radiation environment of extraterrestrial space is complex and is characterized by nearly constant fluences of elemental atomic particles (protons being a dominant particle type) with widely different energies and ionization potentials. Chronic exposure to such ionizing radiation carries both near- and long-term health risks, which are generally related to the relative intensity and duration of exposure. These radiation-associated health risks can be managed only to a limited extent by physical means, but perhaps they might be more effectively managed biomedically. The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute/Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences has a long history of researching and developing MCMs specifically designed to support terrestrial-based military missions involving a radiation-threat component. The development of MCMs for both low and high doses of radiation are major aims of current research, and as such can provide lessons learned for the development of countermeasures applicable to future space missions and its extraterrestrial radiation environment.

Abstract
BIO 300, a pharmaceutical formulation of genistein, is being developed as a radiation countermeasure to treat hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) and the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE). Several studies have affirmed its safety and efficacy in alleviating the damaging effects of ionizing radiation. However, dose optimization of any drug has always been an important area of research because unnecessarily high drug doses may result in serious complications. In this study, we assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK) and metabolic profiles of two different doses of a novel solid-dosage formulation of BIO 300 (BIO 300 Oral Powder; 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg), when administered orally to nonhuman primates (NHPs). While the Tmax values of both doses remained the same, the area under the curve at 48 h (AUC0-48) was tripled by doubling the dose. Additionally, we monitored serum samples for global metabolomic/lipidomic changes using high resolution mass spectrometry followed by functional pathway analysis prior to and at various time points up to 48 h post drug administration. Interestingly, the metabolomic profiles of sera from NHPs that received the lower dose demonstrated a transient perturbation in numerous metabolites between the 4 and 12 h time points. Eventually, the metabolite abundance reverted to near-normal by 48 h. These study results are consistent with our previous studies focused on the PK and metabolomic analysis for parenteral and oral aqueous nanosuspension formulations of BIO 300. This study affirms that administration of a single dose of up to 200 mg/kg of BIO 300 Oral Powder is safe in NHPs and conferred no metabolomic-mediated safety features.

Abstract
BIO 300, a suspension of synthetic genistein nanoparticles, is being developed for mitigating the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE). The purpose of the current study was to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BIO 300 administered as an oral or parenteral formulation 24 h after sham-irradiation, total-body irradiation (TBI) with 2.5-5.0% bone marrow sparing (TBI/BMx), or in nonirradiated sex-matched C57BL/6J mice and non-human primates (NHP). C57BL/6J mice were randomized to the following arms in two consecutive studies: sham-TBI [400 mg/kg, oral gavage (OG)], TBI/BM2.5 (400 mg/kg, OG), sham-TBI [200 mg/kg, subcutaneous (SC) injection], TBI/BM2.5 (200 mg/kg, SC), sham-TBI (100 mg/kg, SC), or nonirradiated [200 mg/kg, intramuscular (IM) injection]. The PK profile was also established in NHP exposed to TBI/BM5.0 (100 mg/kg, BID, OG). Genistein-aglycone serum concentrations were measured in all groups using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay. The PK profile demonstrates 11% and 19% reductions in Cmax and AUC0-inf, respectively, among mice administered 400 mg/kg, OG, after TBI/BM2.5 compared to the sham-TBI control arm. Administration of 200 mg/kg SC in mice exposed to TBI/BM2.5 showed a 53% increase in AUC0-inf but a 28% reduction in Cmax compared to the sham-TBI mice. The relative bioavailability of the OG route compared to the SC and IM routes in mice was 9% and 7%, respectively. After the OG route, the dose-normalized AUC0-inf was 13.37 (ng.h/mL)/(mg/kg) in TBI/BM2.5 mice compared to 6.95 (ng.h/mL)/(mg/kg) in TBI/BM5.0 NHPs. Linear regression of apparent clearances and weights of mice and NHPs yielded an allometric coefficient of 1.06. Based on these data, the effect of TBI/BMx on BIO 300 PK is considered minimal. Future studies should use SC and IM routes to maximize drug exposure when administered postirradiation. The allometric coefficient is useful in predicting therapeutic drug dose regimens across species for drug approval under the FDA animal rule.

Abstract
Background The mammalian gut harbors very complex and diverse microbiota that play an important role in intestinal homeostasis and host health. Exposure to radiation results in dysbiosis of the gut microbiota leading to detrimental pathophysiological changes to the host. To alleviate the effects of irradiation, several candidate countermeasures are under investigation. BIO 300, containing synthetic genistein formulated as an amorphous solid dispersion or as an aqueous suspension of nanoparticles, is a promising candidate under advanced development. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of BIO 300 on the gut microbiome and metabolome of mice exposed to 60Co gamma-radiation. The gut microbiota and metabolome of control and drug-treated mice exposed to radiation was characterized by bacterial 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. Results We found that irradiation altered the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and significantly decreased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus, both in BIO 300-treated and control mice; however, the ratio returned to near normal levels in BIO 300-treated mice by day 14 post-irradiation. Concomitantly, we also observed corrective shifts in metabolic pathways that were perturbed after irradiation. Conclusions Overall, the data presented show that radiation exposure led to a relative depletion of commensals like Lactobacillus leading to an inflammatory metabolic phenotype while the majority of the drug-treated mice showed alleviation of this condition primarily by restoration of normal gut microbiota. These results indicate that the radioprotective effects of BIO 300, at least in part, may involve correction of the host-microbiome metabolic axis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation can result in hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE). There is no radiation medical countermeasure (MCM) approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which can be used prior to radiation exposure to protect exposed individuals. Different formulations containing synthetic genistein (BIO 300) are being developed to counter the harmful effects of radiation exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the efficacy of a BIO 300 oral powder (OP) formulation as a prophylactic radiation MCM against a lethal dose of cobalt-60 gamma-radiation in CD2F1 male mice while comparing to other formulations of BIO 300 and Neulasta (PEGylated filgrastim), a standard of care drug for H-ARS. RESULTS BIO 300 OP provided significant radioprotection against ionizing radiation in mice when administered twice per day for six days prior to total-body radiation exposure. Its radioprotective efficacy in the murine model was comparable to the efficacy of a single subcutaneous (sc) injection of Neulasta administered after total-body radiation exposure. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that BIO 300 OP, which can be administered orally, is a promising prophylactic radiation countermeasure for H-ARS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is an urgent need for specific and sensitive bioassays to augment biodosimetric assessments of unwanted and excessive radiation exposures that originate from unexpected nuclear/radiological events, including nuclear accidents, acts of terrorism, or the use of a radiological dispersal device. If sufficiently intense, such ionizing radiation exposures are likely to impact normal metabolic processes within the cells and organs of the body, thus inducing multifaceted biological responses. AREAS COVERED This review covers the application of metabolomics, an emerging and promising technology based on quantitative and qualitative determinations of small molecules in biological samples for the rapid assessment of an individual's exposure to ionizing radiation. Recent advancements in the analytics of high-resolution chromatography, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics have led to untargeted (global) and targeted (quantitative phase) approaches to identify biomarkers of radiation injury and countermeasure efficacy. Biomarkers are deemed essential for both assessing the radiation exposure levels and for extrapolative processes involved in determining scaling factors of a given radiation countering medicinal between experimental animals and humans. EXPERT OPINION The discipline of metabolomics appears to be highly informative in assessing radiation exposure levels and for identifying biomarkers of radiation injury and countermeasure efficacy.

Abstract
Chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1961, the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) is a Joint Department of Defense (DoD) entity with the mission of carrying out the Medical Radiological Defense Research Program in support of our military forces around the globe. In the last 60 years, the investigators at AFRRI have conducted exploratory and developmental research with broad application to the field of radiation sciences. As the only DoD facility dedicated to radiation research, AFRRI's Medical Radiobiology Advisory Team provides deployable medical and radiobiological subject matter expertise, advising commanders in the response to a U.S. nuclear weapon incident and other nuclear or radiological material incidents. AFRRI received the DoD Joint Meritorious Unit Award on February 17, 2004, for its exceptionally meritorious achievements from September 11, 2001 to June 20, 2003, in response to acts of terrorism and nuclear/radiological threats at home and abroad. In August 2009, the American Nuclear Society designated the institute a nuclear historic landmark as the U.S.'s primary source of medical nuclear and radiological research, preparedness and training. Since then, research has continued, and core areas of study include prevention, assessment and treatment of radiological injuries that may occur from exposure to a wide range of doses (low to high). AFRRI collaborates with other government entities, academic institutions, civilian laboratories and other countries to research the biological effects of ionizing radiation. Notable early research contributions were the establishment of dose limits for major acute radiation syndromes in primates, applicable to human exposures, followed by the subsequent evolution of radiobiology concepts, particularly the importance of immune collapse and combined injury. In this century, the program has been essential in the development and validation of prophylactic and therapeutic drugs, such as Amifostine, Neupogen®, Neulasta®, Nplate® and Leukine®, all of which are used to prevent and treat radiation injuries. Moreover, AFRRI has helped develop rapid, high-precision, biodosimetry tools ranging from novel assays to software decision support. New drug candidates and biological dose assessment technologies are currently being developed. Such efforts are supported by unique and unmatched radiation sources and generators that allow for comprehensive analyses across the various types and qualities of radiation. These include but are not limited to both 60Co facilities, a TRIGA® reactor providing variable mixed neutron and γ-ray fields, a clinical linear accelerator, and a small animal radiation research platform with low-energy photons. There are five major research areas at AFRRI that encompass the prevention, assessment and treatment of injuries resulting from the effects of ionizing radiation: 1. biodosimetry; 2. low-level and low-dose-rate radiation; 3. internal contamination and metal toxicity; 4. radiation combined injury; and 5. radiation medical countermeasures. These research areas are bolstered by an educational component to broadcast and increase awareness of the medical effects of ionizing radiation, in the mass-casualty scenario after a nuclear detonation or radiological accidents. This work provides a description of the military medical operations as well as the radiation facilities and capabilities present at AFRRI, followed by a review and discussion of each of the research areas.

Abstract
Here, we review the molecular mechanism and pharmacokinetics of flavonoids in the treatment of resistant EGF receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and particularly the possible mechanism(s) of delicaflavone, a biflavonoid extracted from Selaginella doederleinii Hieron. EGFR TK inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) are ubiquitously used in the treatment of NSCLC bearing EGFR mutations. However, patients treated with EGFR-TKI inevitably and continuously develop resistance. In laboratory studies, flavonoids, as potential adjuvants for cancer chemotherapy, exhibited anti-cancer properties such as inhibition of chemoresistance by interference with ABC transporters-induced drug efflux, curbing of c-MET amplification, or reversal of T790M mutation-mediated resistance. The current review aims at summarizing the association between the anti-cancer potentials of flavonoids and their possible regulatory roles in certain types of mutation that could trigger EGFR-TKI resistance in NSCLC. Potential practical applications of these phytochemicals, as well as the relevant pharmacokinetics, are also discussed.

Singh VK, Seed TM. BIO 300: a promising radiation countermeasure under advanced development for acute radiation syndrome and the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure. Expert Opin Investig Drugs 2021; 29:429-441. [PMID: 32450051 DOI: 10.1080/13543784.2020.1757648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are no radioprotectors currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) for either the hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) or for the acute radiation gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS). There are currently, however, three US FDA-approved medicinals that serve to mitigate acute irradiation-associated hematopoietic injury. AREA COVERED We present the current status of a promising radiation countermeasure, BIO 300 (a genistein-based agent), that has been extensively investigated in murine models of H-ARS and models of the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) and is currently being evaluated in large animal models. It is also being developed for the prevention of radiation-induced toxicities associated with solid tumor radiotherapy and is the subject of two active Investigational New Drug (IND) applications. We have included a listing and brief review of significant investigations of this promising medical countermeasure. EXPERT OPINION BIO 300 is a leading radioprotector under advanced development for H-ARS and DEARE, as well as for select oncologic indication(s). Efficacy following oral administration (po), lack of clinical side effects, storage at ambient temperature, and intended dual use makes BIO 300 an ideal candidate for military and civilian use as well as for storage in the Strategic National Stockpile.

Comparative proteomic analysis of serum from nonhuman primates administered BIO 300: a promising radiation countermeasure. Sci Rep 2020; 10:19343. [PMID: 33168863 PMCID: PMC7653926 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-76494-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) are detrimental health effects that occur after exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation. BIO 300, a synthetic genistein nanosuspension, was previously proven safe and effective against H-ARS when administered (via the oral (po) or intramuscular (im) route) prior to exposure to lethal doses of total-body radiation. In this study, we evaluated the proteomic changes in serum of nonhuman primates (NHP) after administering BIO 300 by different routes (po and im). We utilized nanoflow-ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (NanoUPLC-MS/MS) methods for comprehensive global profiling and quantification of serum proteins. The results corroborate previous findings that suggest a very similar metabolic profile following both routes of drug administration. Furthermore, we observed minor alterations in protein levels, 2 hours after drug administration, which relates to the Cmax of BIO 300 for both routes of administration. Taken together, this assessment may provide an insight into the mechanism of radioprotection of BIO 300 and a reasonable illustration of the pharmacodynamics of this radiation countermeasure.

Singh VK, Seed TM. Entolimod as a radiation countermeasure for acute radiation syndrome. Drug Discov Today 2020; 26:17-30. [PMID: 33065293 DOI: 10.1016/j.drudis.2020.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
High doses of total-body or partial-body radiation exposure can result in a life-threatening acute radiation syndrome as manifested by severe morbidity. Entolimod (CBLB502) is effective in protecting against, and mitigating the development of, the hematopoietic and gastrointestinal subsyndromes of the acute radiation syndrome in rodents and nonhuman primates. Entolimod treatment reduces radiation-induced apoptosis and accelerates the regeneration of progenitors in radiation-damaged tissues. The drug has been evaluated clinically for its pharmacokinetics (PK), toxicity, and biomarkers. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted investigational new drug, fast-track, and orphan drug statuses to entolimod. Its safety, efficacy, and animal-to-human dose conversion data allowed its progression with a pre-emergency use authorization application submission.

Fabrication of Nanosuspensions to Improve the Oral Bioavailability of Total Flavones from Hippophae rhamnoides L. and their Comparison with an Inclusion Complex. AAPS PharmSciTech 2020; 21:249. [PMID: 32875458 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-020-01788-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this work was to increase the solubility and oral bioavailability of isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin in the total flavones of Hippophae rhamnoides L. (TFH) by preparing their nanosuspensions (NSs) and an inclusion complex. Based on the particle size and zeta potential, P407, Soluplus, SDS, PEG-6000, and HP-β-CD were selected as stabilizers. TFH NSs and a TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complex were prepared, and their morphology, crystallinity, molecular interactions, and cytotoxicity were investigated. Furthermore, the saturation solubility, dissolution, and pharmacokinetics of the three flavonoids in the TFH, TFH NSs, and TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complex were compared. The five obtained TFH NSs were physically stable, and their particle sizes were all below 200 nm. The solubility and dissolution of the three active components were obviously enhanced by the formation of the TFH NSs and TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complex. Correspondingly, the oral bioavailability of isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin increased up to 4.11-, 3.85-, and 6.73-fold, respectively, in the TFH NSs and 2.89-, 3.71-, and 9.51-fold, respectively, in the TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complexes compared to those in the raw TFH. In brief, both NSs and inclusion complexes can improve the oral bioavailability of the three flavonoids in TFH. Taking the drug loading and the stable ratio of the multiple components into consideration, the NSs is a more promising strategy than the inclusion complex for increasing the oral bioavailability of multiple water-insoluble components in herbal extracts.

Abstract
Introduction: There is a limited array of currently available medicinals that are useful for either the prevention, mitigation or treatment of bodily injuries arising from ionizing radiation exposure.Area covered: In this brief article, the authors review those pharmacologic agents that either are currently being used to counter the injurious effects of radiation exposure, or those that show promise and are currently under development.Expert opinion: Although significant, but limited progress has been made in the development and fielding of safe and effective pharmacotherapeutics for select types of acute radiation-associated injuries, additional effort is needed to broaden the scope of drug development so that overall health risks associated with both short- and long-term injuries in various organ systems can be reduced and effectively managed. There are several promising radiation countermeasures that may gain regulatory approval from the government in the near future for use in clinical settings and in the aftermath of nuclear/radiological exposure contingencies.
