Antibodies induced by multi?epitope vaccine showed inhibitory activity against heterologous influenza A virus (H3N2)

In this study, recognition of 4 recombinant viral proteins (GST?NHA1) by the antibodies induced by multi?epitope vaccine was testified. Inhibitory activities of these antibodies were also investigated in vitro against four heterologous influenza A viruses (H3N2). Three epitope?specific antibodies purified by affinity chromatography could reduce the plaque formation. Interestingly, the three neutralizing antibodies in combination showed obvious enhancement of inhibitory activity, suggesting that the development of recombinant multi?epitope vaccine might be an effective way against viral mutation.

Rice receptor-like kinase OsSI-RLK2 inhibits internode elongation

Receptor-like kinase participates in the early events of plant signal transduction pathways. Previously, we screened the receptor-like kinase genes in rice and performed phylogenetic analyses. In this study, we isolated a receptor-like kinase gene, OsSI-RLK2, from rice. Expression of OsSI-RLK2 was induced by ABA treatment. In vitro analysis indicates that OsSI-RLK2 has Mn2 dependent autophosphorylation activity, but does not have this activity in the presence of Ca2 and Mg2 . Transgenic rice with over-expressed OsSI-RLK2 displayed shortened internodes resulting in a dwarf phenotype. Taken together, these results suggest that OsSI-RLK2 may represent a new type of functional RLK in rice that can inhibit the elongation of the internode.

1,2,3-Triazole derivatives as highly selective cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) agonists

The cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2 receptor) has attracted considerable interest, mainly due to its potential as a target for therapeutics for treating various diseases that have a neuroinflammatory or neurodegenerative component while avoiding the adverse psychotropic effects that accompany CB1 receptor-based therapies. With the appreciation that CB2-selective ligands show marked functional selectivity, there is a renewed opportunity to explore this promising area of research from both a mechanistic as well as a therapeutic perspective. In this research, we are interested in the discovery of new chemotypes as highly selective CB2 modulators, which may serve as good starting points for further optimization towards the development of CB2 therapeutics. In search of new chemotypes as CB2 selective agents, we screened a series of triazole derivatives with interesting bioactive scaffolds, which led to the discovery of two novel and highly selective ligands for CB2 receptors. Compounds 6 and 11 produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of specific [³H]-CP55,940 (CB2) binding with K_i ± SEM values of 105.3 ± 22.6 and 116.4 ± 19.5 nM, respectively, while no binding affinity towards CB1 receptors or opioid receptors was observed. The CB2 functional activity of 6 and 11, as measured by a GPCR Tango assay (G-protein independent β-arrestin translocation assay), revealed that these compounds act as CB2 agonists with EC₅₀ values ± SEM of 1.83 ± 0.16 and 1.14 ± 0.52 µM, respectively. Molecular modeling results showed that both compounds fit well into the active site of the CB2 receptor and showed strong hydrophobic interactions with key residues. In conclusion, the new triazole derivatives (6 and 11) showed promising activity towards CB2 receptors and have great potential to be developed into therapeutically useful CB2 agonists through hit-to-lead optimization.     

Improved adsorptive purification and effective separation of acidic and lactonic sophorolipid biosurfactant

Crude Sophorolipid extract obtained from fermentation broth contains both acidic and lactonic forms of Sophorolipid with different degrees of acetylation and varying lengths of the fatty acid chains. Carboxylic end in the acidic form of the fatty acid is free, whereas in the lactonic form, it is internally esterified. Sophorolipid show different physicochemical properties with wide range of applications for each structural compound. This work represents the separation and purification strategies of acidic and lactonic Sophorolipid obtained from crude extract. Depending on structure of Sophorolipid molecule different resin were selected for screening based on % binding per ml of resin, % elution and % assay purity of the product obtained.Based on binding study, uptake kinetic, adsorption isotherm and Simchrome software results, macroporous adsorbent SEPABEADS SP 825L was selected as the choice of resin for preparative separation. Breakthrough capacity of the resin was calculated to be 37.8 and 2.801 mg/mL for lactonic and acidic SL respectively. Column study was performed to justify the previous results and 10 g of crude product was processed to obtain 4.2 and 3.9 g of acidic and lactonic SL having the assay purity of more than 90%.

Cu immobilized on chitosan-modified iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles: Preparation,characterization and investigation of its anti-lung cancer effects

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide and non-toxic bioactive polymer with a wide variety of applications due to its functional properties such as ease of modification, and biodegradability. In this study, a green protocol for supporting of Cu(II) on chitosan-encapsulated magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles is described. The morphological and physicochemical features of the material were determined using several advanced techniques like fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The average diameter of the NPs was approximately 15–25 nm. In addition, the Fe₃O_/CS/Cu(II) nanocomposite was engaged in biological assays like study of anti-oxidant properties by DPPH mediated free radical scavenging test using BHT as a reference molecule. Thereafter, on having a significant IC₅₀ value in radical scavenging assay, we extended the bio-application of the desired nanocomposite in anticancer study of lung well-differentiated bronchogenic adenocarcinoma, lung moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and lung poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of human lung in-vitro conditions. In the cytotoxicity and anti-human lung studies, the nanocomposite was treated to lung cancer lung well-differentiated bronchogenic adenocarcinoma (HLC-1), lung moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (LC-2/ad), and lung poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (PC-14) cell line following MTT assay. The cell viability of malignant lung cell line reduced dose-dependently in the presence of Fe₃O_/CS/Cu(II) nanocomposite. The recent results suggest that Fe₃O_/CS/Cu(II) nanocomposite have a suitable anticancer activity against lung cell lines.
