Objective To compare the vascularization of collagen scaffolds with or without growth factors and their efficacy on cardiac function in postinfarcted rats underwent surgical ventricular restoration.Methods Collagen scaffolds were activated with 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride chemistry (EDC) as control or continually covalently immobilized with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF + basic fibrohlast growth factor (bFGF) as experimental groups.Adult SD male rats underwent left anterior descending artery (LAD) ligation to generate transmural myocardial infarction(MI).Four weeks later,by echocardiography,rats with moderate scar size(25%-35% akinetic area of freedom wall of left ventricle) were screened out,assigned into 3 groups randomly and received the surgical ventricular restocation (SVR).Then,cardiac function was measured by echocardiography at 1w,2w and 4w after patch implantation.At endpoint of study (4w after patch implantation),the rats were sacrificed and the hearts were harvested.Vascularization of patch were determined by capillary density (evidenced by vWFⅧ staining) or mature vessel density (evidenced by SMA staining) respectively.Results The general mortality of the animal model is 15% (6/40).A significant improvement of cardiac function was observed in all animals at 1 w after patch implantation but that was better preserved in both cytokine-conjugated groups 4w later (control group vs.VEGF group,P < 0.05,control group vs.VEGF + bFGF group,P < 0.01).More capillaries were present in patch with growth factors (P <0.05),while significant functional vessel formation was observed only in VEGF + bFGF group (P <0.01 vs.control or VEGF group).Additionally,we identified a positive correlation between heart function and mature vessel density (P =0.0297,r2 =0.998).Conclusion The mechanical property of collagen scaffold can be effectively improved by EDC,the growth factors immobilized in scaffold were in favor of vascularization of patch,which may facilitate the preservation of cardiac function posterior to SVR.

Aim To determine the effective compo-nents of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae for sedative-hypnotic and its mechanism. Methods The extraction of Se-men Ziziphi Spinosae and the rat brain homogenates were prepared. High concentrations of Diazepam com-petitively replaced the ligand compounds of Semen Ziz-iphi Spinosae combining BDZ receptor in brain tissue, and all the compounds with sedative and hypnotic effects were collected and identified by HPLC and LC-MS technique, as the compounds extracted from the brain tissue were administered with Semen Ziziphi Spi-nosae. The brain tissue was administered with Diaze-pam, and with Semen Ziziphi Spinosae and Diazepam. Results The HPLC chromatograms show that the peak time of BDZ receptor ligand compounds was 2. 71 min and 46. 87min, when compared with Diazepam. And the LC-MS chromatograms display the relative molecu-lar weight of the ligand compounds was 274. 28 m/z, 453. 34 m/z,496. 34 m/z and 608. 38 m/z respective-ly. According to the fingerprint of Semen Ziziphi Spi-nosae, these compounds may be fatty acid substances and lupine pill triterpene compounds. Conclusions On the basis of the principle of receptor ligand bind-ing, we established a way to quickly analyze and iden-tify the role of natural products in the same drug target compounds. The method not only can clearly define the effective components of natural products, but also clar-ify the mechanism of action of the compounds. The ac-tive ingredient of calm hypnosis in Semen Ziziphi Spi-nosae may be fatty acid substances Palmitic acid ( C16 H32 O2 ) and lupine pill triterpene compounds Alphitolic acid( C30 H48 O4 ) and Spinosin( C28 H32 O15 ) . They exert their sedative and hypnotic effects by combining with BDZ receptor, and the research has laid a theoretical foundation for the further study about mechanism of Se-men Ziziphi Spinosae.

OBJECTIVE: To design and synthesize N-aroyl substituted indoline-3-acetic acid derivatives and evaluate their in vitro hypoglycemic activity. METHODS: Using indoline derivative 2-[5-(benzyloxy)-1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2-methyl-1H-inclol-3-yl]acetic acid (GY3) as leading compound, 4-(benzyloxy)phenyl hydrazine hydrochloride and methyl 4-oxopentanoate as raw material, 8 kinds of N-aroyl (3-hydroxybenzoyl, 3-cyanobenzoyl, 4-nitrobenzoyl, 4-methylsulfonylbenzoyl, 4-acetamidobenzoyl, 3-acetylaminobenzoyl, isoniacyl and pyridine-2-formyl) substituted indoline-3-acetic acid derivatives were synthesized via 4 steps reactions: Fischer indole cyclization, reduction, amidation and hydrolyzation. The human hepatoma HepG2 cell lines were used to investigate the glucose consumption activity of the target compounds. RESULTS: Totally 8 various N-aroyl substituted indoline-3-acetic acids were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by mass spectrum(MS), nuclear magnetic resonance 1H-NMR and 13C spectrum. Under the condition of 1.0 μmol/L, the percentage of glucose- promoting consumption of the synthesized compounds on HepG2 cells was 5.4%-9.1%. 2-[(2R, 3S)-5-benzyloxy-2-methyl-1-(4-methylsulfonyl benzoyl)-2,3-dihydro-indole-3-yl] acetic acid showed the best hypoglycemic activity. The percentage of glucose- promoting consumption was (9.1±1.81)%, which was close to that of positive control metformin [(10.58±1.68)%], but less potent than that of leading compound GY3[(12.15±0.78)%]. CONCLUSIONS: Different electron-withdrawing substituents are introduced into N-aroyl aromatic rings of dihydroindole compounds, such as cyano, nitro, methyl sulfonyl; hypoglycemic activity decreases in varying degrees and is weaker than halogen substituents.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate th e stabilities of antitumor candid ate Gedatolisib in plasma in vitro and simulated gastric/intestinal fluids ,and to analyze the possible catabolites in plasma. METHODS :HPLC method was adopted. Using indometacin as internal standard ,the contents of Gedatolisib incubated in plasma of SD rats (male)for 0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,3.0 h and blank simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.3,no enzyme ),blank simulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8,no enzyme ),simulated gastric fluid(pH 1.3,containing pepsin )and simulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8,containing trypsin )for 0,0.5,1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,6.0 h were determined. The remaining percentage of Gedatolisib was calculated. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was used to analyze the TIC of blank plasma and incubated samples. The differential peaks were compared, and catabolites were inferred by MS 1Z073).gzwjkj2019-1- chromatograms. RESULTS : The remaining percentage in plasma of rats for 2.0 h was about 63%,and there was nosignificant change after continued incubation. The remaining percentage of Gedatolisib incubated in blank simulated intestinal fluid for different time ranged (99.18 ± 2.15)% -(103.20 ± 3.41)% . The remaining percentage in simulated com intestinal fluids for 2.0 h ranged (88.76 ± 1.53)% . The remaining percentage in blank simulated gastric fluids for 2.0 h was ranged (85.63±1.55)%,and there was no significant change after continued incubation. The remaining percentage in simulated gastric fluid was from (94.94±3.52)%(0 h)to(16.19±1.17)% (6.0 h). TIC of UPLC-Q-TOF/MS showed that the differential peaks of incubated samples and blank plasma was 6.42 min under positive mode scanning ,molecular ion peak of m/z 616.335 1,simulated 632.327 7,630.317 0,602.278 6 [M+H]+ could be found in scanning channel. It was speculated that Gedatolisib could generate 1-(4-(3-(4,6-dimorpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)urea) benzoyl)-N,N-dimethylpiperidin-4-amine oxide ,1-(4-(4-(dimethylamino)piperidine-1-carbonyl)phenyl)-3-(4-(4-morpholino-6- (3-oxomorpholino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)urea and 1-(4-(3-(4-(4,6-dimorpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)urea) benzoyl)-N-methylpiperidine. CONCLUSIONS :Gedatolisib is not stable in rat plasma ,and it may undergo terminal N oxidation, morpholine ring oxidation and terminal N demethylation. Gedatolisib is stable in artificial intestinal fluid and blank artificial gastric/ intestinal fluid ,and degrades obviously in the presence of pepsin.
