Research paper thumbnail of Novel d-Annulated Pentacyclic Steroids: Regioselective Synthesis and Biological Evaluation in Breast Cancer Cells

It was found that these compounds readily undergo regioselective interrupted Nazarov cyclization with trapping chloride ion and an efficient method of the synthesis of d-annulated pentacyclic steroids based on this reaction was proposed. The structures of the synthesized pentacyclic steroids were determined by NMR and X-ray diffraction. It was found that the reaction affords a single diastereomer, but the latter can crystallize as two conformers depending on the structure. Antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against two breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. All tested compounds showed relatively high antiproliferative activity. The synthetic potential of the protocol developed was illustrated by the gram-scale experiment.

Research paper thumbnail of Novel Water-Soluble Far-Red Nitroreductase-Responsive Bodipy-Based Fluorescent Probe for the Detection of Hypoxic Status in A549 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

The development of effective methods for real-time monitoring of NTR activity is of great significance for medical diagnosis and cancer research. Here, we present a novel water-soluble Bodipy-based chemodosimeter (NBB) effective in imaging the hypoxic status of human non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells. We assumed that NTR-mediated activation of the probe NBB is based on the reductive release of meso-phenol Bodipy dye to finally produce unusual fluorescence "ON-OFF" response.

For this purpose, calcium carbonate (size 1.2 µm (PDI: 0.6), zeta potential: −10 mV), manganese carbonate (2.5 µm (PDI: 0.5), zeta potential: −12 mV) and titanium dioxide particles (3.7 µm (PDI: 0.4), zeta potential: −15 mV) were used. The compounds were encapsulated applying two techniques: adsorption on the preformed particles and co-precipitation during the synthesis of the particles. The polymer shell of the containers was formed by electrostatic adsorption of polyelectrolytes on the surface of the particles. The best encapsulation efficacy was shown for zolpidem incorporated into calcium carbonate (5.4%) and manganese carbonate (4.6%) by adsorption. Release of the compounds from the containers based on the proposed particles were characterised by the short time burst effect (<10 min) followed by desorption prolongation by formation of polymer shell. X-ray microtomography results demonstrate the prolonged retention of the containers with the mucoadhesive shell in the nasal cavity.

The release of zolpidem in saline solution and in polymer film modelling nasal mucosa was investigated. The anxiolytic effect of zolpidem upon intranasal administration of microcontainers and free medicine was determined by in vivo experiments on mice. The structures of all compounds during zolpidem synthesis were established using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The loading efficacy and release kinetics of zolpidem were analysed by spectrophotometry. Surface morphology of formulation was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. To determine the effect of zolpidem-loaded containers administration by the intranasal route in vivo experiments was carried out applying the open field test.
