Objective:To observe multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) typing of Brucella isolated from Himalayan marmot in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of Qinghai Province, and to explore the relationship between the strains and strains previous isolated from Qinghai Province. Methods:Blood samples of Himalayan marmot were collected in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of Qinghai Province from March 2019 to October 2020. Pathogens were isolated and cultured from Brucella antibody positive samples identified by using the rose bengal test (RBT). Conventional biological methods and molecular biological methods (BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR) were used for strain identification. At the same time, MLVA method was used to genotype the isolated strains, and cluster analysis was used to analyze the genetic relationships between the strains based on the genotype of 70 Brucella isolated from different hosts in Qinghai Province. Results:A total of 1 466 blood samples of Himalayan marmot were collected from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Two strains of Brucella were isolated and cultured from 64 RBT-positive samples, named QH2013054 and QH2013062, respectively. They were identified as Brucella ovis biotype Ⅲ by conventional and molecular biological methods. The MLVA genotyping results showed that QH2013054 and QH2013062 were different at the Bru16 locus, indicating different MLVA genotypes. Cluster analysis showed that strain QH2013054 had the same MLVA genotype as 7 strains, among which 6 strains were from 3 farmers and 3 sheep from the same family in Gonghe County, and 1 strain was from a farmer in Menyuan Hui Autonomous County. The strain QH2013062 had the same MLVA genotype as 4 strains, including 3 strains from 3 farmers in Menyuan Hui Autonomous County and 1 strain from a farmer in Tu Autonomous County of Huzhu. Conclusions:The strains of Brucella isolated from Himalayan marmot in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of Qinghai Province have the same MLVA genotype as some strains of Brucella isolated from humans and sheep in Qinghai Province. It is speculated that the host humans, sheep and Himalayan marmot in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau may have a common source of infection.

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.

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.
