BURGESS,*1 LOUISE A. MALONE,* JOHN T. CHRlSTELLERt Received I1 December 1995; revised und accepted 1 March 1996 Two endopeptidase inhibitors, BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) and SBTI (Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor), were found to significantly reduce the longevity of adult honey bees (&is mellifera L.) fed the inhibitors ad lib in sugar syrup at l.O%, 0.5% or O.l%, but not at 0.01% or 0.001% (w:v). Bees were taken from frames at emergence, kept in cages at 33”C, and provided with a pollen/protein diet, water and syrup. In vivo activity levels of three midgut endopeptidases (trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase) and the exopeptidase leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) were determined in bees fed either BPTI or SBTI at l.O%, 0.3% or 0.1% (w:v) at two time points: the 8th day after emergence and when 75% of bees had died. LAP activity levels increased significantly in bees fed with either inhibitor at all concen- trations. At day 8, bees fed BPTI at all concentrations had significantly reduced levels of trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase. At the time of 75% mortality, bees fed BPTI at each concentration had reduced trypsin levels, but only those fed the inhibitor at the highest dose level had reduced chymotrypsin or elastase activity. -

There are several LC-MS/MS; WADA; major categories of this drug class and the compounds vary greatly in Drugs of abuse. structure, physicochemical properties, effects on urinary composition and renal haemodynamics, and site mechanism of action. Diuretics are often abused by athletes to excrete water for rapid weight loss and to mask the presence of other banned substances. Because of their abuse by athletes, ’s (WADA) diuretics have been included in the World Anti-Doping Agency list of prohibited substances. The diuretics are routinely screened by anti- doping laboratories as the use of diuretics is banned both in-competition and out-of-competition. This work provides an improved, fast and selective –tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) method liquid chromatography for the screening of 22 diuretics and probenecid in human urine. The samples preparation was performed by liquid-liquid extraction. The limit of detection (LOD) for all substances was between 10-20 ng/ml or better. -
Combined Neprilysin and Renin–Angiotensin System Inhibition in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction: a Meta-Analysis

Solomon1*, Brian Claggett1, John J.V. McMurray2, Adrian F. Hernandez3, and Gregg C. Fonarow4 1Cardiovascular Division, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA; 2University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK; 3Duke University, Durham, NC, USA; and 4Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA Received 1 March 2016; revised 25 May 2016; accepted 3 June 2016 Aims The combined neprilysin/renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor sacubitril/valsartan reduced cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization, cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality in a large outcomes trial. While sacubitril/valsartan is the only currently available drug in its class, there are two prior clinical trials in heart failure with omapatrilat, another combined neprilysin/RAS inhibitor. Using all available evidence can inform clinicians and policy-makers. ..................................................................................................................................................................... Methods We performed a meta-analysis using data from three trials in heart failure with reduced EF that compared combined and results neprilysin/RAS inhibition with RAS inhibition alone and reported clinical outcomes: IMPRESS (n = 573), OVERTURE (n = 5770), and PARADIGM-HF (n = 8399). We assessed the pooled hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization, and for all-cause mortality in random-effects models, comparing combined neprilysin/RAS inhibition with ACE inhibition alone. The composite outcome of death or heart failure hospitalization was reduced numerically in patients receiving combined neprilysin/RAS inhibition in all three trials, with a pooled HR of 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76–0.97, P = 0.013. -

The revised crite- UPLC-MS/MS; rion of detection limits (WADATD2013MRPL) has further required the doping Polarity switching; laboratories to review their testing procedures. The present work was aimed WADA. at developing a fast, sensitive and robust analytical method based on solid phase cleanup (SPE) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to achieve the required detection lev- els. The method development involved optimization of deconjugation of phase II metabolites, SPE using mixed-mode ion cartridges for extraction of analytes of wider chemistries; and fast polarity switching UPLC-MS/MS detection. The developed method was validated to detect approximately 165 compounds and/or metabolites prohibited by WADA. The eight min- utes runtime allowed testing of approximately 180 samples in 24 hours at the limit of detection (LOD) of 50% below required detection levels.
