    Abstract Kavya Ramkumar, Nouri NeamatiDepartment of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USAIntroduction: The antiretroviral treatment paradigm for human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection has undergone a significant change with the addition of a new class of therapeutic agents targeting HIV-1 integrase (IN). IN inhibitors prevent the integration of viral DNA into the human genome and terminate the viral life cycle. As the first member of this new class of anti-HIV drugs, raltegravir has shown promising results in the clinic. Aims: To review the emerging evidence for the use of the IN inhibitor raltegravir in the treatment of HIV-1 infection.Evidence review: Strong evidence shows that raltegravir is effective in reducing the viral load to less than 50 copies/mL and increasing CD4 cell count in treatment-experienced patients with triple-drug class-resistant HIV-1 infection. Substantial evidence also indicates that while raltegravir is able to achieve treatment response in patients with drug-resistant HIV-1, it is susceptible to development of resistance. Raltegravir should be used with at least one other active drug. In addition to its use in salvage therapy upon failure of first-line antiretroviral treatment, a raltegravir-based treatment regimen may also be effective as initial therapy. Substantial evidence also shows that raltegravir-based treatment regimen is well tolerated with minimal clinically severe adverse events and toxicities. Modeling studies suggest a cost-effectiveness of US$21,339 per quality-adjusted life year gained with raltegravir use, though further direct evidence on quality of life and cost-effectiveness is needed. Place in therapy: Raltegravir shows significant and sustained virologic and immunologic response in combination with other antiretrovirals in treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected patients who show evidence of viral replication or multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strains, without any significant tolerability issues.Keywords: raltegravir, isentress, MK-0518, integrase inhibitor, HIV-1, clinical evidence

    Abstract Abstract Background Despite the recent progress in the treatment and outcome of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), immunotherapy has still significant limitations reporting a significant proportion of patients not benefiting from therapy, even in patients with high PD-L1 expression. We have previously demonstrated that the combined inhibition of MEK and PD-L1 in NSCLC patients derived three dimensional cultures exerted significant synergistic effect in terms of immune-dependent cancer cell death. However, subsequent experiments analyzing the expression of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (Ido-1) gene expression demonstrated that Ido-1 resulted unaffected by the MEK inhibition and even increased after the combined inhibition of MEK and PD-L1 thus representing a potential escape mechanism to this combination. Methods We analyzed transcriptomic profile of NSCLC lung adenocarcinoma cohort of TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas), stratifying tumors based on EMT (Epithelial mesenchymal Transition) score; in parallel, we investigated the activation of Ido-1 pathway and modulation of immune cytokines productions both in NSCLC cells lines, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in ex-vivo NSCLC spheroids induced by triple inhibition with an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, the MEK inhibitor and the Ido-1 inhibitor. Results In NSCLC lung adenocarcinoma patient cohort (from TCGA) Ido-1 gene expression was significantly higher in samples classified as mesenchymal according EMT score. Similarly, on a selected panel of NSCLC cell lines higher expression of MEK and Ido-1 related genes was detected in cells with mesenchymal phenotype according EMT score, thus suggesting a potential correlation of co-activation of these two pathways in the context of EMT, with cancer cells sustaining an immune-suppressive microenvironment. While exerting an antitumor activity, the dual blockade of MEK and PD-L1 enhances the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFNγ, TNFα, IL-12 and IL-6) and, consequently, the expression of new immune ...

    Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a janus faced chemical messenger, which, in the recent years, has been the focus of neurobiologists for its involvement in neurodegenerative disorders in particular, Parkinson's disease (PD). Nitric oxide synthase, the key enzyme involved in NO production exists in three known isoforms. The neuronal and inducible isoforms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. These enzymes are subject to complex expressional and functional regulation involving mRNA diversity, phosphorylation and protein interaction. In the recent years, mRNA diversity and polymorphisms have been identified in the NOS isoforms. Some of these genetic variations have been associated with PD, indicating an etiological role for the NOS genes. This review mainly focuses on the NOS genes - their differential regulation and genetic heterogeneity, highlighting their significance in the pathobiology of PD.

    Abstract Mannich bases of gatifloxacin were synthesized by reacting them with formaldehyde and several isatin derivatives. Their chemical structures have been confirmed by means of their IR, 1H-NMR data and by elemental analysis. The compounds were tested in-vitro against a panel of 58 human tumour cell lines derived from nine neoplastic diseases. Among them compound 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-methoxy-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7[[N4-(3'-sulphadoximino)-1'-(5-bromoisatinyl) methyl]-3-methyl N1-piperazinyl]-3-quinoline carboxylic acid (6) emerged as a potent anticancer agent being more active than standard DNA topoisomerase II inhibitor, etoposide against 30 cancer cell lines.

    Abstract Background: There is considerable research evidence supporting a palliative role for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurotransmission and voltage-gated sodium channel blockade in neuropathic pain conditions. Hence, the present study was undertaken to assess the peripheral analgesic, antiallodynic and antihyperalgesic activities of the synthesized structural analogues of GABA.
    Methods: The screening study included acute tissue injury, chronic constriction injury (CCI), and spinal nerve ligation (SNL) models of neuropathic pain.
    Results: All of the tested compounds sup-pressed the acetic acid-induced writhing response significantly in comparison to the control. In particular, compound JVP-8 was observed to be the most active compound with percent inhibition greater than that of the standard drug aspirin (97.8% inhibition of writhing response as against 97.0% shown by aspirin). In neuropathic pain studies, compound JVP-5 (100 mg/kg i.p.) emerged as the most active compound affording maximum protection against dynamic allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia in the CCI model, and against spontaneous pain and mechanical hyperalgesia in SNL rats.
    Conclusion: In this study, we have demonstrated that combining phthalimide pharmacophore with GABA has evolved compounds effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

    Abstract Raltegravir was the first HIV-1 integrase inhibitor that gained FDA approval for use in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Because of the emergence of IN inhibitor-resistant viral strains, there is a need to identify innovative second-generation IN inhibitors. Previously, we identified 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (rhodanine)-containing compounds as IN inhibitors. Herein, we report the design, synthesis and docking studies of a series of novel rhodanine derivatives as IN inhibitors. All these compounds were further tested against human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) to determine their selectivity. Two compounds showed significant cytotoxicity in a panel of human cancer cell lines. Taken together, our results show that rhodanines are a promising class of compounds for developing drugs with antiviral and anticancer properties.

    Abstract A series of 3-chloro-2-methylphenyl substituted semicarbazones (3-33) was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant and CNS activities. After intraperitoneal injection to mice or rats, the semicarbazone derivatives were examined in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ), and subcutaneous strychnine (scSTY)-induced seizure and neurotoxicity screens. The aryl urea (1) and the semicarbazide (2) showed anticonvulsant activity in the MES and scPTZ screens with acute neurotoxicity, whereas the semicarbazone derivatives showed good anticonvulsant potency in the scSTY screen with moderate activity against MES and scPTZ screens. Compound 21 exhibited anticonvulsant potency against all the three screens with lesser neurotoxicity. Some titled compounds exhibited lesser CNS depression and neurotoxicity compared to phenytoin or carbamazepine as was evident from the CNS studies.

    Abstract Antiepileptic drugs are often utilized in the treatment of neuropathic pain. The present study aims at the design and synthesis of newer gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivatives with the combination of aryl semicarbazone and the GABA pharmacophores in order to develop a multifunctional drug useful in the treatment of neurological disorders like epilepsy and neuropathic pain. Various GABA semicarbazones were synthesized and screened for anticonvulsant, peripheral analgesic, antiallodynic, and antihyperalgesic activities. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by the use of their spectral data in addition to elemental analysis. The synthesized derivatives of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA produced anticonvulsant and antinociceptive actions in the acetic acid induced writhing test and peripheral nerve injury (chronic constriction injury and L5 spinal nerve ligation) models of neuropathic pain. The underlying mechanisms are expected to be enhancement of peripheral GABAergic neurotransmission owing to their activity in the scPIC screen and due to various reports on the involvement of GABAergic pathway in peripheral models of neuropathic pain.
