Objective To design and synthesize derivatives of wanpeinine A, the main steroidal alkaloid isolated from the plant Fritillaria shuchengensis, and further study on the structure-activity relationship of the steroidal alkaloid. Methods Acylation and alkylation were used to synthesize the derivatives and their structures were identified via NMR and MS.Results The acylation of wanpeinine A (1) produced 3β,6α-diacetylwanpeinine A (2), 3β,6α-dipropionylwanpeinine A (3), 3β,6α-dichloracetylwanpeinine A (4), 3β,6α-dibenzoylwanpeinine A (5), and 3β-methoxyacylwanpeinine A (6). The alkylation of wanpeinine A formed 3β,6α-dimethoxymethylwanpeinine A (7). Conclusion All compounds are new except for 3β,6α-diacetylwanpeinine A.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and limits of 64-slice spiral coronary artery imaging,by com- parison with selective coronary angiography,in detection of coronary heart disease.Methods Fourty-two patients sus- pected CAD were performed 64-slice spiral CT coronary imaging and selective coronary artery angiography in two weeks, comparative analysis of results were progressed consequently.Results The sensitivity,specificity and positive and nega- tive predictive value to identify≥50% stenosis branches was 90.5%,96.6%,85.9% and 97.8%,respectively.The sen- sitivity,specificity and positive and negative predictive value to identify≥75% stenosis branches was 93.5%,98.9%, 87.9% and99.4%,respectively.Conclusion As a noinvasive quantitative assessment of coronary artery stenoses exami- nation,64-slice spiral CT is a valuable method to detect and diagnose the disease of coronary artery,but its clinical use maybe presently be limited due to image quality in a number of cases.

Objective: To establish a method for the determination of curcumine and berberine hydrochloride in Shangke Dieda paste. Methods:An HPLC method was adopted to determine the content of curcumine and berberine hydrochloride in Shangke Dieda paste. For curcumine, the column was InertSutain C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm); the mobile phase was acetonitrile and 4% acetic acid solution (44 ∶56);the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1;the column temperature was 25℃;the detection wavelength was 430 nm;the sample size was 10μl. For berberine hydrochloride, the column was InertSutain C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5μm);the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 1% phosphoric acid (44 ∶56, 0. 2 g dodecyl sodium sulfate was added to 100 ml solution); the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1;the column temperature was 25℃ ;the detection wavelength was 345 nm;the sample size was 10 μl. Results:A good linear correlation was obtained within the range of 0.01-0.50 μg (r =0.999 3) for curcumin and 0.02-0.16 μg(r =0. 999 9) for berberine hydrochloride. The average recovery was 101. 03% with RSD of 1. 75% for curcumin and 99. 20% with RSD of 0. 64% for berberine hydrochloride (n=9). Conclusion:The established method is simple, accurate, sensitive and specific, which can be used for the quality control of Shangke Dieda paste.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the compatibility of hollow hydroxypropyl starch capsules with drug particles of ofloxacin. METHODS: The capsules were placed in conditions of high temperature of 40℃ or high humidity of (75 ± 5)% RH for 5 and 10 d, respectively. The contents and related substances were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the changes in the drug appearance and colors were observed. RESULTS: After being stored under the conditions of high temperature and high humidity for 5 and 10 d, the contents of ofloxacin were in the range of 90% - 110%, and no new impurities were detected, which conformed to the quality standard of ofloxacin capsules in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010 edition. CONCLUSION: There is good compatibility between ofloxacin and hollow hydroxypropyl starch capsules, which is consistent with the test results of gelatin capsules.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for determination of D(-) sulbenicillin sodium in sulbenicillin sodium for injection by HPLC/MS. METHODS: The analysis was performed on a SHIMADZU VP-ODS column with mobile phase consisting of 0.01 mol·L-1 ammonium acetate solution-methanol (90:10) at a flow rate of 0.6 mL·min-1. The detection was performed by Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) scanning mode with ESI negative ion mode. RESULTS: D(-) and L(+) sulbenicillin could be effectively separated. Good liner relationship was achieved when the concentration of D(-) sulbenicillin was in the range of 1.03-51.90 μg· mL-1 (r = 0.9997). The average recovery rate was 99.98% at three levels (RSD = 0.30%, n = 9). CONCLUSION: The MRM method is accurate, reliable, and can be used for the determination of D(-) sulbenicillin sodium in sulbenicillin sodium for injection.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was identified as a novel human coronavirus and posed great threat to public health world wide,which calls for the development of effective and safe vaccine urgently. In the study, peptide epitopes tagrgeting spike antigen were predicted based on bioinformatics methods. Nine polypeptides with high scores were synthesized and linked to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Female BALB/C mice were immunized with individual polypeptide-KLH, and the total IgG was detected by ELISA as well as the cellular mediated immunity (CMI) was analyzed using ELIs-pot assay. The results showed that an individual peptide of YVDVGPDSVKSACIEVDIQQTFFDKTWPRPIDVSKADGI could induce the highest level of total IgG as well as CMI (high frequency of IFN-γ secretion) against MERS-CoV antigen in mice. Our study identified a promising peptide vaccine candidate against MERS-CoV and provided an experimental support for bioinformatics-based design of peptide vaccine.
