Afatinib is an irreversible multi-targeted TKI, used in the treatment with EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study is to explore the molecular pharmacokinetic mechanism underlying the effect of P-gp inhibitors on the intestinal absorption and biliary excretion and to understand how P-gp inhibitors affect afatinib pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetics in vivo, in situ intestinal perfusion, perfused rat liver in situ, Caco-2 cells, P-gp ATPase activity, sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes (SCRH) and transfected-cell transport were used in the evaluation. P-gp inhibitor verapamil (Ver) markedly increased the plasma concentrations and significantly decreased the biliary excretion of afatinib in vivo. Ver increased the intestinal absorption and decreased biliary excretion of afatinib in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion studies and in situ perfused rat liver, respectively. The accumulation of afatinib in Caco-2 cells was enhanced by Ver and Cyclosporin A (CsA). The biliary excretion index (BEI) of afatinib in SCRH was decreased by Ver and CsA, respectively. The net efflux ratio of afatinib was 2.3 across vector-/MDR1–MDCKII cell monolayers and was decreased by P-gp inhibitor. The activity of P-gp ATPase was induced by afatinib and the Km and Vmax were 1.05 μM and 59.88 nmol ATP/mg hP-gp/min, respectively. At least partly P-gp is involved in increasing the intestinal absorption and decreasing the biliary excretion of afatinib in rats.

Tumors not only manage to escape from the host immune system, but they effectively contrive to benefit from infiltrating immune cells by modifying their functions so as to create a pro-inflammatory microenvironment favorable for tumor progression and metastasis. In this study we investigated if tectorigenin could suppress lung cancer-induced pro-inflammatory response generated from monocytes. A549:THP1 co-culture model was set-up favoring release of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Effect of tectorigenin on A549 imparted invasive phenotype of A549:THP-1 co-culture was monitored by cytokine release from monocytes, and metastasis/epithelial–mesenchymal transitiom (EMT) in A549 cells. In a contact A549:THP1 co-culture model, THP-1 cells were activated by A549 cells favoring secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6. However, priming of A549 cells with tectorigenin for 24 h repressed A549 cell-induced secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 by THP-1 cells. Tectorigenin induced change in functional phenotype of A549 cells rendered THP-1 cells non-responsive for the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α in a contact co-culture setup. Additionally, conditioned media from this non-responsive A549:THP-1 co-culture suppressed metastatic potential of A549 cells as confirmed by the wound healing and transwell migration assays. These finding were further corroborated by decrease in expression of Snail with a concomitant increase in E-cadherin, the two signature markers of EMT. These results clearly demonstrate the therapeutic potential of tectorigenin to prevent lung cancer elicited inflammatory and pro-metastatic response in monocytes and warrants further investigations to elucidate its mechanism of action.

Antidepressant-like effect of PRE-084, a selective σ1 receptor agonist, in Albino Swiss and C57BL/6J mice

PRE-084, a selective σ receptor agonist, exhibited an antidepressant-like effect in the forced swim test (FST) in Albino Swiss and C57BL/6J mice. This effect was counteracted by BD 1047 (5 and 10 mg/kg) but not by SM-21 (3 and 10 mg/kg), which are σ1 — and σ2-receptor antagonists, respectively. The results indicated that PRE-084 has an antidepressant-like effect in C57BL/6J and, to a lesser extent, in Albino Swiss mice. These results support the idea that σ1-receptors, but not σ2-receptors, contribute to the mechanism of antidepressant activity of σ agonists in FST.
Gastric anti-ulcerative and anti-inflammatory activity of metyrosine in rats

In this study, the anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcerative effects of metyrosine, a selective tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme inhibitor, were investigated in rats. For ulcer experiments, indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer tests and ethanol-induced gastric ulcer tests were used. For these experiments, rats were fasted for 24 h. Different doses of metyrosine and 25 mg/kg doses of ranitidine were administered to rats, followed by indomethacin at 25 mg/kg for the indomethacin-induced ulcer test, or 50% ethanol for the ethanol-induced test. Results have shown that at all of the doses used (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg), metyrosine had significant anti-ulcerative effects in both indomethacin and ethanol-induced ulcer tests. Metyrosine doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg (especially the 200 mg/kg dose) also inhibited carrageenan-induced paw inflammation even more effectively than indomethacin. In addition, to characterize the anti-inflammatory mechanism of metyrosine we investigated its effects on cyclooxygenase (COX) activity in inflammatory tissue (rat paw). The results showed that all doses of metyrosine significantly inhibited high COX-2 activity. The degree of COX-2 inhibition correlated with the increase in anti-inflammatory activity. In conclusion, we found that metyrosine has more anti-inflammatory effects than indomethacin and that these effects can be attributed to the selective inhibition of COX-2 enzymes by metyrosine. We also found that adrenalin levels are reduced upon metyrosine treatment, which may be the cause of the observed gastro-protective effects of this compound.
