China Pharmacy 2015;26(31):4360-4363
OBJECTIVE:To study the interaction of cefprozil (CE) with bovine serum albumine (BSA). METHODS:Under the temperatures of 289,299 and 309 K,the interaction of CE with BSA for 50 min had been studied by fluorescence quenching, UV spectrometry and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. Quenching constant(KSV)and speed constant(Kq)were calculated by Stern-Volmer equation. Static quenching constant(KLB)was obtained by Lineweaver-Burk equation,and UV spectrogram was used to determine the type of quenching. Double logarithmic equation was used to calculate the binding constants (Kb) and the number of binding site(n). Thermodynamic equation was used to obtain ΔH,ΔS,ΔG. Hill's coefficients(nH)was obtained by Hill equa-tion. RESULTS:At three different temperatures,with CE concentration increasing,fluorescence intensity of BSA decreased regular-ly. The value of KSV,Kq,KLB,Kb and n and nH decreased with the temperature increasing. ΔH,ΔS and ΔG were lower than 0. The numbers of binding sites were approximately equal to 1 and nH<1. CONCLUSIONS:CE statically quench the fluorescence of BSA,and the binding of them have been found to certain extent. The process of binding is spontaneous exothermic process. The main binding forces include Hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces,and primary binding site for CE is located at sub-domain ⅡA of BSA. There was some negative cooperative effect. CE would not affect the conformation of BSA. The binding site of CE and BSA is near by tyrosine residue.

Obiective To explore the interaction of cefonicid sodium(CS) with bovine serum albumin(BSA) by fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. Methods The rate constant(Kq), quenching constant(Ksv), static fluo-rescence quenching association constant(KLB),binding site number(n) and binding constant(Kb) were calculated using Stern-Volmer, Lineweaver-Burk and double logarithm equations. Results CS was able to bind to BSA. The probable quenching mechanism of BSA by CS was mainly static quenching due to the formation of a CS-BSA com-plex. The results of thermodynamic parameters indicated that electrostatic force plays the main role in the binding process and the binding process was spontaneous. There was a single class of binding site for the BSA with CS. The primary binding site for CS was located at sub-domainⅡA of BSA and near by tyrosine residue. There was almost some negative cooperative effect. The results obtained from synchronous fluorescence showed that CS could change the microenvironment of Tyrand Trp residues of BSA. Conclusion The interaction between CS and BSA is dynam-ic. There is a single class of binding site for the BSA with CS. The obtained results provide references for its clini-cal application.

Background:Inflammation plays an important role in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI),and erythropoietin (EPO)has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity. Aims:To explore the protective effect of EPO on intestinal IRI and its potential mechanism. Methods:Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group(sham group),IRI group,EPO group and 740Y-P group. Rats in IRI,EPO and 740Y-P groups were injected intraperitoneally with 0. 9% NaCl,EPO and EPO + 740Y-P,respectively,one hour before the establishment of intestinal IRI model by superior mesenteric artery clamping(45 min)-reperfusion. All rats were sacrificed one hour after reperfusion. Histopathological changes of small intestine were observed;expression of proteins in PI3K/ Akt and NF-κB signaling pathways was measured by Western blotting;expression and secretion of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-8(IL-8),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)were examined by real-time PCR and ELISA. Results:Compared with sham group,the damage score of small intestine,protein expressions of PI3K,p-Akt and p-NF-κB p65,as well as mRNA expressions and serum levels of IL-8,TNF-α and MCP-1 in IRI group were significantly increased(P < 0. 05). EPO pretreatment could ameliorate the histopathological changes of small intestine in IRI model rats,inhibit PI3K/ Akt and NF-κB signaling activation and down-regulate expression and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. When 740Y-P,a PI3K agonist,was used combinedly,the effect exerted by EPO was diminished. Conclusions:EPO pretreatment can protect against intestinal IRI by inhibiting the activation of PI3K/ Akt/NF-κB signaling and the subsequent inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia ( MH ) on the expression of my- eloperoxidase(MPO) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2) in rats after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CIR). Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into four control groups (n=6 in each) and four MH groups (n=6 in each).CIR models were established by suture occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery.The rats in the MH groups,but not in the control groups,were treated with MH.Rats were killed at 4 h,8 h,12 h and 16 h after CIR.MPO expression was measured,along with the expression of COX 2 as measured by Western blot- ting and immunohistochemical methods.Results Compared with the control groups,MPO activity and the COX 2 expression in the cortex and striatum were significantly lower in all the MH groups at 4 h,8 h,12 h and 16 h after CIR.Conclusion MH treatment can protect neurons by decreasing MPO activity and COX 2 expression,allevia- ting inflammation and reducing secondary injuries after CIR.
