The comparative pharmacokinetics of four bioactive ingredients after administration of Ramulus Cinnamomi–Radix Glycyrrhizae herb pair extract,Ramulus Cinnamomi extract and Radix Glycyrrhizae extract

Ramulus Cinnamomi (RC)–Radix Glycyrrhizae (RG) is a classic herb pair, which is commonly used as a fixed form to treat cardiovascular disease in the clinic. Our work aimed to compare the pharmacokinetic difference of cinnamic acid, liquiritin, isoliquiritigenin and glycyrrhetinic acid in rats after oral administration of the RC–RG herb pair extracts [Guizhigancao Decoction (GGD) and Lingguizhugan Decoction (LGZGD)] and the single RC or RG extract. A HPLC‐MS method was developed and validated to study comparative pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic parameters (C_max, AUC, MRT) of four compounds between the RC–RG herb pair group and the single herb (RC or RG) group showed significant differences (p < 0.05). Compared with the single herb (RC or RG) group, higher peak concentration, slower elimination and larger exposure could be observed after giving the RC–RG herb‐pair extracts. The pharmacokinetic differences might indicate the relativity of remedy in the RC–RG herb pair and provide scientific information for rational administration of the drug in the clinic.

抗肿瘤缺氧诱导因子-1的小分子抑制剂

肿瘤的缺氧微环境与其增殖、分化、血管生成、能量代谢、耐药性的发生以及患者预后状况密切相关。缺氧诱导因子1(Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, HIF-1)是细胞适应缺氧环境的重要转录因子和调控蛋白,通过调控下游靶基因如EPO、VEGF、GLUT等的表达,促进血管新生及有氧糖酵解以适应缺氧的环境,进而影响肿瘤细胞代谢、血管生成和肿瘤转移等。因此,开发以HIF-1为靶标的小分子抑制剂药物有望成为一种有效的肿瘤治疗方法。本文就HIF-1小分子抑制剂在肿瘤学研究中的进展进行综述,旨在为靶向HIF-1抗肿瘤药物的研发提供新思路。

UPLC fingerprint analysis and identification of flavonoids in Scutellaria indica by UFLC-triple-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry

The aim of this study was to raise the quality control level of Scutellaria indica. A quick and stable ultra performance liquid chromatography method was established for the fingerprint analysis of S. indica. A total of 32 common peaks were marked with 10 batches S. indica detected in 30?min using similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprint of traditional Chinese medicine (2004A version). Besides, a high-resolution mass spectrometer was used to identify flavonoids in S. indica. A total of 27 flavonoids in S. indica were identified. And a series of fragmentation regularities were obtained, which could be used for the identification of other flavonoids. Therefore, the established liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometer method could be successfully utilized for the quality control of S. indica.

一种基于光谱分析的二元不完全重叠色谱峰的分离解析方法

基于二极管阵列检测器获得的色谱-光谱数据,建立了一种二元不完全重叠液相色谱峰的解析方法: 色谱数据经过去噪、归一化处理后,计算各时间点的光谱差异并进行系统聚类分析,提取特征光谱后,利用非负最小二乘法对色谱-光谱矩阵进行解析,得到基于特征光谱的流出曲线,进而得到分离后的色谱峰。将解析结果和纯标样的色谱峰进行比较,解析后的光谱图和纯标样的光谱图无显著差异,保留时间相差小于0.01 min。实验结果表明,该方法在二元不完全重叠液相色谱峰的解析方面能取得良好的效果。     

Determination of relative binding affinities of labeling molecules with amino acids by using scanning tunneling microscopy

The binding behaviour of labeling molecule copper phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate sodium (PcCu(SO(3)Na)(4)) on the assemblies of representative polyamino acids has been studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). By directly visualizing the adsorption and distribution of the labeling species on the peptide assemblies in STM images, one could obtain relative binding affinities of the labeling molecule with different amino acid residues.

Radiation-induced changes in electrical conductivity and structure of BaPbO3 after γ-irradiation

Several barium plumbate (BaPbO₃) solid samples, made from PbO and BaCO₃ powder by chemistry liquid-phase coprecipitation, were investigated before and after γ-irradiation. The solid samples were irradiated by a ⁶⁰Co γ-irradiation source whose dose rate is about 0.7?kGy per hour. The irradiation times were 0, 72, 144, 216, 288 and 360?h. Then, the four-probe method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to indicate the changes in electrical conductivity and microstructure of BaPbO₃ after γ-irradiation. The XRD results indicated that the content of PbO was reduced as the irradiation dose was increased and eventually vanished from the surface of samples. However, there was no new obvious substance phase found from the XRD atlas. It seems that the PbO transformed into nearly amorphous Pb₅O₈. The conjecture could be proved by the results of annealing experiment and SEM. The XPS results seem to show that the microstructure of BaPbO₃ was slightly changed.
