  • Endothelin System and Therapeutic Application of Endothelin Receptor
    xperim ACCESS Freely available online & E en OPEN l ta a l ic P in h l a C r m f o a c l a o n l o r g u y o J Journal of ISSN: 2161-1459 Clinical & Experimental Pharmacology Research Article Endothelin System and Therapeutic Application of Endothelin Receptor Antagonists Abebe Basazn Mekuria, Zemene Demelash Kifle*, Mohammedbrhan Abdelwuhab Department of Pharmacology, School of Pharmacy, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Endothelin is a 21 amino acid molecule endogenous potent vasoconstrictor peptide. Endothelin is synthesized in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, as well as in neural, renal, pulmonic, and inflammatory cells. It acts through a seven transmembrane endothelin receptor A (ETA) and endothelin receptor B (ETB) receptors belongs to G protein-coupled rhodopsin-type receptor superfamily. This peptide involved in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorder like (heart failure, arterial hypertension, myocardial infraction and atherosclerosis), renal failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension and it also involved in pathogenesis of cancer. Potentially endothelin receptor antagonist helps the treatment of the above disorder. Currently, there are a lot of trails both per-clinical and clinical on endothelin antagonist for various cardiovascular, pulmonary and cancer disorder. Some are approved by FAD for the treatment. These agents are including both selective and non-selective endothelin receptor antagonist (ETA/B). Currently, Bosentan, Ambrisentan, and Macitentan approved

  • Endothelin-Receptor Antagonists Are Proapoptotic and Antiproliferative in Human Colon Cancer Cells
    British Journal of Cancer (2003) 88, 788 – 795 & 2003 Cancer Research UK All rights reserved 0007 – 0920/03 $25.00 www.bjcancer.com Endothelin-receptor antagonists are proapoptotic and antiproliferative in human colon cancer cells 1 1 ,1 L Peduto Eberl , R Bovey and L Juillerat-Jeanneret* 1 University Institute of Pathology, CHUV, University of Lausanne, Bugnon 25, CH1011 Lausanne, Switzerland Endothelin (ET)-1 can act as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor or an antiapoptotic factor in human cancers. To study the role of ET-1 in human colon cancer, proliferation and apoptosis of colon carcinoma cells was investigated using human HT-29 and SW480 colon carcinoma cells. ET-1 was secreted by these cells. Treatment of cells with bosentan, a dual ETA/B-receptor antagonist, decreased cell number. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by bosentan was observed only in the presence of serum. Exogenously added ET-1 did not increase DNA synthesis in serum-deprived cells. SW480 cells were sensitive and HT-29 cells were resistant to FasL- induced apoptosis. Bosentan sensitised resistant HT-29 cells to FasL-induced, caspase-mediated apoptosis, but not to TNF-a-induced apoptosis. Bosentan and/or FasLigand (FasL) did not modulate the expression of caspase-8 or FLIP. Bosentan sensitisation to À13 À10 À9 À7 apoptosis was reversed by low concentrations (10 –10 M), but not by high concentrations (10 –10 M) of ET-1. These results suggest that the binding of ET-1 to high-affinity sites inhibits FasL-induced apoptosis, while the binding of either ET-1 or receptor antagonists to low-affinity sites promotes FasL-induced apoptosis.

Purpose for Class Update: To define place in therapy for 3 immunosuppressive agents, eculizumab, inebilizumab-cdon, and satralizumab-mwge, recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Research Questions: 1. What is the effectiveness of eculizumab, inebilizumab, and satralizumab in reducing time to relapse in adult patients with NMOSD who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive? 2. What are the harms of eculizumab, inebilizumab-cdon and satralizumab in adults with NMOSD? 3. Is there comparative evidence that eculizumab, inebilizumab, and satralizumab differ in efficacy or harms for management of NMOSD? 4. Are there certain sub-populations (based on age, gender, ethnicity, comorbidities, disease duration or severity) in which eculizumab, inebilizumab, or satralizumab may be beneficial

Buya 1,2 , Ana Beloqui 1, Patrick B. Memvanga 2 and Véronique Préat 1,* 1 Advanced Drug Delivery and Biomaterials, Louvain Drug Research Institute, Université Catholique de Louvain, Avenue Mounier 73, B1.73.12, 1200 Brussels, Belgium; [email protected] (A.B.B.); [email protected] (A.B.) 2 Pharmaceutics and Phytopharmaceutical Drug Development Research Group, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Kinshasa, Kinshasa XI BP 212, Democratic Republic of the Congo; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +32-27647309 Received: 3 November 2020; Accepted: 5 December 2020; Published: 9 December 2020 Abstract: Approximately one third of newly discovered drug molecules show insufficient water solubility and therefore low oral bio-availability. Self-nano-emulsifying drug-delivery systems (SNEDDSs) are one of the emerging strategies developed to tackle the issues associated with their oral delivery. SNEDDSs are composed of an oil phase, surfactant, and cosurfactant or cosolvent. SNEDDSs characteristics, their ability to dissolve a drug, and in vivo considerations are determinant factors in the choice of SNEDDSs excipients. A SNEDDS formulation can be optimized through phase diagram approach or statistical design of experiments. The characterization of SNEDDSs includes multiple orthogonal methods required to fully control SNEDDS manufacture, stability, and biological fate. Encapsulating a drug in SNEDDSs can lead to increased solubilization, stability in the gastro-intestinal tract, and absorption, resulting in enhanced bio-availability. The transformation of liquid SNEDDSs into solid dosage forms has been shown to increase the stability and patient compliance.

  • An Interleukin-6 Receptor-Blocking Therapy for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
    Review Neuroimmunology Satralizumab: An Interleukin-6 Receptor-blocking Therapy for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder Norio Chihara,1 Riki Matsumoto1 and Takashi Yamamura2 1. Division of Neurology, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe, Japan; 2. Department of Immunology, National Institute of Neuroscience, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, Tokyo, Japan euromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which even a single disease flare may result in persistent neurological disability. The core group of patients with NMOSD, characterized by Nprominent astrocyte pathology, has high levels of autoantibodies reactive to aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a water channel expressed on astrocytes. In these patients, activation of autoreactive T and B cells, production of AQP4 autoantibody (AQP4-Ab) and AQP4-Ab-mediated complement-dependent destruction of astrocytes are presumed be the critical events in the pathology. Recent clinical trials have shown the efficacy of therapeutic antibodies targeting complement C5, interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) and CD19+ B cells in patients with NMOSD, particularly those with AQP4-Ab seropositivity. Regarding the pathogenesis of NMOSD, prior studies have indicated that IL-6 promotes the activation of autoreactive T cells, prolongs the survival of AQP4-Ab-producing B cells and inhibits blood–brain barrier integrity. The results of two pivotal clinical trials showing the efficacy of satralizumab have firmly established the role of IL-6 and IL-6R signalling in the pathogenesis of AQP4-Ab-positive NMOSD. This review aims to evaluate the involvement of IL-6 in NMOSD and the potential of satralizumab, a humanized antibody against IL-6R, in the current and future practice of NMOSD.
