    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Activation of PKC supports the anticancer activity of tigilanol tiglate and related epoxytiglianes Jason K. Cullen1, Glen M. Boyle1,2,3,7*, Pei‑Yi Yap1, Stefan Elmlinger1, Jacinta L. Simmons1, Natasa Broit1, Jenny Johns1, Blake Ferguson1, Lidia A. Maslovskaya1,4, Andrei I. Savchenko4, Paul Malek Mirzayans4, Achim Porzelle4, Paul V. Bernhardt4, Victoria A. Gordon5, Paul W. Reddell5, Alberto Pagani6, Giovanni Appendino6, Peter G. Parsons1,3 & Craig M. Williams4* The long‑standing perception of Protein Kinase C (PKC) as a family of oncoproteins has increasingly been challenged by evidence that some PKC isoforms may act as tumor suppressors. To explore the hypothesis that activation, rather than inhibition, of these isoforms is critical for anticancer activity, we isolated and characterized a family of 16 novel phorboids closely‑related to tigilanol tiglate (EBC‑46), a PKC‑activating epoxytigliane showing promising clinical safety and efcacy for intratumoral treatment of cancers. While alkyl branching features of the C12‑ester infuenced potency, the 6,7‑epoxide structural motif and position was critical to PKC activation in vitro. A subset of the 6,7‑epoxytiglianes were efcacious against established tumors in mice; which generally correlated with in vitro activation of PKC. Importantly, epoxytiglianes without evidence of PKC activation showed limited antitumor efcacy. Taken together, these fndings provide a strong rationale to reassess the role of PKC isoforms in cancer, and suggest in some situations their activation can be a promising strategy for anticancer drug discovery. Te Protein Kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases was frst identifed almost 40 years ago1.

  • Pharmacy Auditing and Dispensing Job Aid: Billing Kits
    Pharmacy Auditing and Dispensing Job Aid: Billing Kits PharmacistsJOB and their staff members have a responsibility toAID ensure patients receive the correct medication in the correct dosage form. The correct billing of selected dosage forms can sometimes be difficult to decipher. A National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) pharmacist explains, “Billing unit errors can have serious consequences when State Medicaid agencies are involved, as underpayment or overpayment of rebates could generate a fraud investigation by the State or by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).”[1] The NCPDP billing unit standard (BUS) helps pharmacists and staff members submit accurate claims for pharmaceutical products. NCPDP created the BUS to provide guidance to pharmacy claims software developers and to promote uniformity and consistency across standard billing units.[2] The standards implemented by NCPDP address billing unit inconsistencies in the health care delivery industry that may result in incorrect reimbursement or difficulties defining what constitutes a billing unit. The standards provide a consistent and well-defined billing unit for use in pharmacy transactions, provide a method to assign a standard billing unit, reduce the time it takes for a pharmacist to accurately bill a prescription and get paid correctly, provide a standard billing unit for use in the calculation of accurate reimbursement, and provides a standard size unit of measure for use in drug utilization review.[3] The BUS employs only three billing units to describe any and all drug products. These billing units are milliliter, gram, and each.[4] Items billed as “milliliter” include any product measured by liquid volume, such as injectable products of 1 milliliter or greater, reconstitutable non-injectable products at the final volume after reconstitution, and some inhalers.

  • COMPARISON of the WHO ATC CLASSIFICATION & Ephmra/Intellus Worldwide ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION
    COMPARISON OF THE WHO ATC CLASSIFICATION & EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION November 2020 Comparison of the WHO ATC Classification and EphMRA / Intellus Worldwide Anatomical Classification The following booklet is designed to improve the understanding of the two classification systems. The development of the two systems had previously taken place separately. EphMRA and WHO are now working together to ensure that there is a convergence of the 2 systems rather than a divergence. In order to better understand the two classification systems, we should pay attention to the way in which substances/products are classified. WHO mainly classifies substances according to the therapeutic or pharmaceutical aspects and in one class only (particular formulations or strengths can be given separate codes, e.g. clonidine in C02A as antihypertensive agent, N02C as anti-migraine product and S01E as ophthalmic product). EphMRA classifies products, mainly according to their indications and use. Therefore, it is possible to find the same compound in several classes, depending on the product, e.g., NAPROXEN tablets can be classified in M1A (antirheumatic), N2B (analgesic) and G2C if indicated for gynaecological conditions only. The purposes of classification are also different: The main purpose of the WHO classification is for international drug utilisation research and for adverse drug reaction monitoring. This classification is recommended by the WHO for use in international drug utilisation research. The EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide classification has a primary objective to satisfy the marketing needs of the pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, a direct comparison is sometimes difficult due to the different nature and purpose of the two systems. The aim of harmonisation is to reach a “full” agreement of all mono substances in a given class as listed in the WHO ATC Index, mainly at third level: whenever this is not possible, or harmonisation of third level is too difficult or makes no sense (e.g.
