Releasing Materials; CORMs: CO-Releasing Molecules Indirect inhalation strategy has been further divided into Introduction two categories i.e. CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) and CO-releasing materials (CORMats) [8]. Since last century, carbon monoxide (CO) generally regarded as “silent killer” and life-threatening for living CORMs are organometallic carbonyl complexes organisms because of its colourless, odourless and good for solubility and shown good compatibility with poisonous nature [1]. Haldane explored the poisonous mammalian system. The tissue selectivity and toxicity of nature of CO can be exerted as car-boxy hemoglobin organometallic complexes after degradation of CORMs (COHb) through hemoglobin dissociation parameters is still a big challenge for the CO drug developers. [2,3]. This study explains the biological role of the CO Finding a specific target is quite impossible for CORMs inside the mammalian systems. because CORMs are soluble and can easily access every part of the body which makes it good for searching and As endogenously released gaseous messengers, or gas reaching the effected organs, on the other hand might be transmitters these particular molecules calibrated as harmful for the healthy organs because of their inhibiting nanomedicines (NMs) or nanomaterial (NMs) essential to characteristics. Slow kinetic profile is required for the physiology of all microorganisms’ postulates, responsible therapeutic actions. Usually CORMs possess fast kinetic for intracellular and intercellular approaching [4]. The profile. The fast kinetic profile favors the ion-channel endogenous gaseous mechanism has attracted greater path rather than therapeutic dosage. The ion-channel attention by the researchers for designing and developing path explained the complete biological route of CO. such administration that could supply reserved CO at The already developed CORMs are: CORM-1, CORM- moderate rate such as vascular modulator [5,6].

PDT drugs act as photosensitisers, which upon using appropriate wavelength light and in the presence of molecular oxygen, can lead to cell death. Herein, we reviewed the general characteristics of the different generation of photosensitisers. We also outlined the emergence of rhenium (Re) and more specifically, Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes as a new generation of metal-based photosensitisers for photodynamic therapy that are of great interest in multidisciplinary research. The photophysical properties and structures of Re(I) complexes discussed in this review are summarised to determine basic features and similarities among the structures that are important for their phototoxic activity and future investigations.

  • Molecular and Preclinical Pharmacology of Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Ligands
    Molecular and Preclinical Pharmacology of Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Ligands Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda Jones, M.S. Graduate Program in Pharmacy The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: James T. Dalton, Advisor Thomas D. Schmittgen William L. Hayton Robert W. Brueggemeier Copyright by Amanda Jones 2010 Abstract The androgen receptor (AR) is critical for the growth and development of secondary sexual organs, muscle, bone and other tissues, making it an excellent therapeutic target. Ubiquitous expression of AR impedes the ability of endogenous steroids to function tissue selectively. In addition to the lack of tissue selectivity, clinical use of testosterone is limited due to poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetic problems. Our lab, in the last decade, discovered and developed tissue selective AR modulators (SARMs) that spare androgenic effects in secondary sexual organs, but demonstrate potential to treat muscle wasting diseases. This work reveals the discovery of next generation SARMs to treat prostate cancer and mechanistically characterize a prospective SARM in muscle and central nervous system (CNS). Prostate cancer relies on the AR for its growth, making it the primary therapeutic target in this disease. However, prolonged inhibition, with commercially available AR antagonists, leads to the development of mutations in its ligand binding domain resulting in resistance. Utilizing the crystal structure of AR-wild-type and AR-W741L mutant, we synthesized a series of AR pan- antagonists (that inhibit both wild-type and mutant ARs). Structure activity relationship studies indicate that sulfonyl and amine linkages of the aryl propionamide pharmacophore are important for the antagonist activity.

As flavonoids can interact with raloxifene in vitro, we evaluated the in vivo pharmacokinetics of raloxifene in rats when co-administered with apigenin. Methods: The pharmacokinetics of raloxifene in the absence or presence of apigenin was investigated in rats after different dosage regimens. The plasma concentrations before and after enzymatic hydrolysis were analyzed by HPLC, and the pharmacokinetic profiles of raloxifene administered alone and in combination with apigenin were compared. Results: Co-administration of apigenin with raloxifene in a 1:2 ratio by weight resulted in a 55% and 37% increase in the Cmax and AUC of intact raloxifene, respectively.

    A COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION INTO THE MOLECULAR MECHANISM RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTIVE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR MODULATOR (SARM) TISSUE-SELECTIVITY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Natalie Elizabeth Goldberger, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Dr. James T. Dalton, Ph.D., Advisor Dr. Charles E. Bell, Ph.D. ____________________________ Dr. Mamuka Kvaratskhelia, Ph.D. Advisor Dr. Charles Brooks, Ph.D. Biophysics Graduate Program i ABSTRACT The androgen receptor (AR) is a member of the superfamily of nuclear receptors (NRs) that regulate gene expression in a ligand-dependent manner. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are ligands that activate AR in a tissue-selective manner to produce unique physiological effects. To investigate the mechanism responsible for SARM tissue-selectivity, the conformation of AR was analyzed using the NHS-biotin labeling technique. Briefly, ligand-bound AR was affinity purified from Sf9 cells and incubated with NHS-biotin to biotinylate surface accessible lysine residues. Unfortunately, no biotinylation was observed for any of the AR samples, thus the possibility that AR chaperone proteins and cofactors were blocking NHS-biotin access to AR was subsequently investigated using native gels, immunoprecipitation (IP) and liquid chromatography coupled with ion trap mass spectroscopy (MS). IP and native gel analysis subsequently revealed multiple ligand-specific bands. The largest native gel protein bands (~ 690 kDa) for both the dihydrotestosterone- and SARM- treated samples were analyzed using tandem MS, and ligand-specific cofactors were identified. Most interesting was the identification of nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR) in only the SARM-treated sample.
