Objective: To discover HER2/neu tyrosine kinase inhibitor through computer-aided drug design approach. Methods: The three-dimensional(3D) structure of HER2/neu and EGFR tyrosine kinase domain was modeled using MODERLAR software. To search database and pick up candidate compounds based 3D structure of HER2/neu tyrosine kinase domain. Inhibition of HER2/neu tyrosine kinase phosphorylation by the compounds was detected using Western blot analysis. Inhibition of cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Results: The amino acid identity and similarity between HER2/neu and EGFR kinase domain, insulin receptor kinase domain, FGFR1 kinase domain, Src kinase domain were compared. The identity was 35% -41% and the similarity was 52% -55% . The 3D structure of HER2/neu and EGFR was obtained by MODERLAR software. Through searching, screening and optimization, the authors found that ST2325 had significantly inhibitory effect on HER2/neu tyrosine kinase phosphorylation with IC50 of 6.6 μ mol/L. The inhibition of HER2/neu phosphorylation was selective and reversible. ST2325 inhibited cell proliferation of HER2/neu-overexpressing MDA-MB-453m1 preferentially compared with EGFR-overexpressing MDA- MB-468, The IC50 values were 29.05 and 60.4 μ mol/L. Conclusion: ST2325 which was discovered through structure-based approach had notable inhibitory effect on HER2/neu tyrosine kinase.

The aqueous phase oxidation of gaseous elemental mercury (Hg(0)) by potassium persulfate (KPS) catalyzed by Ag(+) was investigated using a glass bubble column reactor. Concentration of gaseous mercury and potassium persulfate were measured by cold vapor atom absorption (CVAA) and ion chromatograph (IC), respectively. The effects of pH value, concentration of potassium persulfate and silver nitrate (SN), temperature, Hg(0) concentration in the reactor inlet and tertiary butanol (TBA), free radical scavenger, on the removal efficiency of Hg(0) were studied. The results showed that the removal efficiency of Hg(0) increased with increasing concentration of potassium persulfate and silver nitrate, while temperature and TBA were negatively effective. Furthermore, the removal efficiency of Hg(0) was much better in neutral solution than in both acidic and alkaline solution. But the influence of pH was almost eliminated by adding AgNO(3). High Hg(0) concentration has positive effect. The possible reaction mechanism of gaseous mercury was also discussed.
