The phase state of mixture of gelatin and Broad Bean globulins in an aqueous medium has been studied. Phase diagrams were determined which demonstrated the compatibility of gelatin with total globulin and of gelation with 11s globulin of Broad Beans. Results indicate that compatibility of gelatin with total globulin differs only slightly from the compatibility with 11s globulin. The increase in compatibility of gelatin with 11s globulin with increasing ionic strength is particularly interesting. As a consequence it appears possible to extend the region of the one-phase mixed compositions suitable for the production of mixed gels.
A main issue in pharmacology is the seek for effective agents for the correction of ED. To study the endothelioprotective effects of 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridinium (2e3h6m) nicotinate under conditions of L-NAME-induced oxidation. The L-NAME pattern of induced oxide efficiency (25 mg/g) for one week was used. The endothelial and cardioprotective effect of 2e3h6m nicotinate at an amount of 3.75 mg/kg compared to picamilon 10 mg/kg was examined via the coefficient of ED (QED) and a number of exercise tests. Nicotinate 2e3h6m and picamilon exerted a pronounced endothelioprotective impact on the pattern of L-NAME-induced NO deficiency, which manifested itself in a decrease in the coefficient of endothelial dysfunction (ED). At the same time, 2e3h6m nicotinate (7.6 mg/kg) was 2.1 times more effective than picamilon (10 mg/kg). So, 2e3h6m nicotinate was produced itself as an endothelio and cardioprotector.
Introduction: In this review, the analysis of technologies for obtaining biologically active proteins from various sources is carried out, and the comparative analysis of technologies for creating producers of biologically active proteins is presented. Special attention is paid to genetically modified animals as bioreactors for the pharmaceutical industry of a new type. The necessity of improving the technology of development transgenic rabbit producers and creating a platform solution for the production of biological products is substantiated. The advantages of using TrB for the production of recombinant proteins: The main advantages of using TrB are the low cost of obtaining valuable complex therapeutic human proteins in readily accessible fluids, their greater safety relative to proteins isolated directly from human blood, and the greater safety of the activity of the native protein. The advantages of the mammary gland as a system for the expression of recombinant proteins: The mammary gland is the organ of choice for the expression of valuable recombinant proteins because milk is easy to collect in large volumes. Methods for obtaining transgenic animals: The modern understanding of the regulation of gene expression and the discovery of new tools for gene editing can increase the efficiency of creating bioreactors for animals and help to obtain high concentrations of the target protein. The advantages of using rabbits as bioreactors producing recombinant proteins in milk: The rabbit is a relatively small animal with a short duration of gestation, puberty and optimal size, capable of producing up to 5 liters of milk per year per female, receiving up to 300 grams of the target protein.
Introduction: Limiting the action of secondary injury factors can improve the prognosis in acute cerebral accidents. The aim of the investigation is to study the neuroprotective effects of 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives. Materials and methods: The study was performed in Wistar rats. An intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model was used. The animals were once administered intraperitoneally with the test drugs 1 hour before the surgery and on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days. The registration of behaviors and condition of the animals on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 and the morphological examination of the brain were performed. Results and discussion: The use of the substances LKhT 4-97 and LKhT 11-02 in the treatment of experimental ICH had a positive effect on the survival rate of the animals and on the resolution rate of pathological signs (p<0.05). Clinical observations were confirmed by the results of analysis of the S100b brain damage marker and morphometry. The efficacy of LKhT 3-15 was largely comparable to that of the reference drug Mexidol. The efficacy of LKhT 01-09 was significantly inferior to that of the reference drug Mexidol. Differences in the neuroprotective effects of the studied substances are related to the metabolism of their various pharmacophores. A hypothetical mechanism for the induction of their neuroprotective effects has been proposed. Conclusion: Three of the four 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives under study have a neuroprotective effect, which is manifested in a more rapid resolution of pathological symptoms and less pronounced signs of neurodegeneration.
From the point of view of the mechanisms for the implementation of pathogenetic links in the development of steroid-induced osteoporosis considered in the paper, the increased risk of the oxidative stress in osteoblasts, as well as the development of the vessels endothelial dysfunction of the microcirculatory bloodstream in the bone tissue, are of particular interest. They lead to the impaired bone tissue trophism and progression of osteoporosis.The aim of the study was research of the osteoprotective effects of a 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives composition on the model of steroid-induced osteoporosis.Materials and methods. To model osteoporosis pathology, the animals (male Wistar rats) were injected with methylprednisolone (MP) at the dose of 5 mg/kg (intraperitoneally) every 5th day for 5 weeks. Аs a non-selective blocker of NO synthase, L-NAME was used at the dose of 25 mg/kg (intraperitoneally). Derivatives of 3-hydroxypyridine (hereinafter referred to as composition No. 1) were administrated at the dose of 50 mg/kg (per os) In all experimental groups, the level of microcirculation and the bone mineral density, as well as the analysis of histomorphological and biochemical samples, were assessed.Results. The study results showed that composition No. 1 (50 mg/kg) has an osteoprotective activity, effectively prevents a decrease in the level of the regional bone tissue microcirculation and in the development of an endothelial dysfunction. That makes it possible to increase the bone mineral density and to slow down the thinning of bone trabeculae. In addition, composition No. 1 (50 mg/kg) reduces the production of reactive oxygen species and increases the NO bioavailability.Conclusion. The data obtained indicate that the studied composition of 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives is considered a promising compound for the prevention and treatment of steroid-induced osteoporosis.
