TECHNOLOGY OF OBTAINING POLYRIBOSYLRIBITOL PHOSPHATE AS AN ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYSACCHARIDE VACCINES

Salimova E.L., Konon A.D., Truhin V.P., Krasilnikov I.V.

Abstract

Despite the world practice, in the Russian Federation immunization against hemophilic infection is carried out only for the children from risk groups, which may be due to the lack of production of this vaccine in the Russian Federation. Therefore, the development of technology for the preparation of polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP, the active substance of the Hib vaccine) remains relevant. Earlier, the employees of the federal state unitary enterprise “Saint-Petersburg scientific research institute of vaccines and serums and the enterprise for the production of bacterial preparations” of Federal medical and biologic agency of Russia isolated and identified the strain of Haemophilus influenzae SPB type b B-7884. The conditions for cultivation of the strain B-7884 and primary isolation of PRP from the culture liquid were arranged. The aim of the work was to study the possibility of excluding the centrifugation stage for separating H. influenzae SPB type b B-7884 biomass before clarification on the cascade of filter discs, and the development of subsequent stages of PRP isolation from the obtained intermediate product. Materials and methods. PRP isolation from an inactivated culture liquid of strain B-7884 was carried out by centrifugation, filtration, precipitation, homogenization, extraction under various conditions. The concentration of PRP in the intermediate products was determined by the orcinol method, the identity was determined by the latex agglutination test. Results and discussion. The optimal scheme for isolation and purification of the active pharmaceutical ingredient PRP, including filtration through the cascade of deep filters Zeta plus LP 60 (0.3–0.6 μm) and Zeta plus LP 90 (0.1–0.3 μm), concentration and diafiltration on ultrafiltration cassettes with nominal molecular weight cut-off of 30 kDa, precipitation with 10% cetyltrimethylammonium bromide solution (5% v/v), with subsequent homogenization of the obtained precipitate (in the presence of 12.5% of ethanol from the concentrate volume) and extraction (32.5% ethanol), filtration through depth filters Zeta Plus SP 30 and carbon filters Zeta Plus Carbon R53, and precipitation by 1.0% (v/v) 4.0 M sodium chloride solution and freezing at –(20 ± 2)°C, was developed. Conclusion. The obtained results will become the basis for the further development of the polysaccharide substance and allow us to proceed to the next stage in the development of the vaccine against Haemophilus influenzae type b – conjugation with the carrier protein.

THE INFLUENCE OF HELICHRYSUM ARENARIUM FLOWERS INFUSION ON MAST CELLS DEGRANULATION IN VITRO

Karazhan N.V.

Abstract

Helichrysum arenarium flowers are medical plant raw materials with a high concentration of flavonoids (2.5– 5.0%). As compounds of this group of biologically active substances often possess antiallergic activity, Helichrysum arenarium flowers are a potential antiallergic medicine. The aim is to study an antiallergic activity of Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion on the model of mast cells degranulation in vitro. Materials and methods. Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion was made in accordance with the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Republic of Belarus. Mast cells were obtained from the abdominal cavity of inbred mice weighing 20–25 g. Experimental animals were divided into three groups of 5 individuals in each. The intact group was not subjected to any manipulation for 14 days. The test group was sensitized with the epidermal allergen from the cat’s fur. The placebo group was subjected to the same manipulations as the test group, by phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4 for sensitization instead of the allergen. Results and discussion. The addition of Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion to the mast cells of the intact group and the placebo group did not affect the percentage of the mast cells degranulation (p>0.05), indicating that the animals of the intact group and the placebo group did not have a hypersensitivity to the components of the medicine under investigation. In the presence of Helichrysum arenarium flowers the percentage of the mast cells degranulation of the test group decreased in comparison with the percentage of the mast cells degranulation in the presence of the allergen from 23.6±2.1% to 8.1–16.2% (p<0.05). Semi-effective concentration of Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion was 1.33±0.04 mg / ml. The stabilizing effect on the mast cells degranulation of the Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion was statistically significantly lower than the stabilizing effect of the Bidens tripartita herb infusion. Conclusion. Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion has a pronounced dose-dependent stabilizing effect on the mast cells of male mice in vitro. Nevertheless, the stabilizing effect of Helichrysum arenarium flowers infusion on the mast cells was less pronounced than the stabilizing effect of Bidens tripartita herb infusion.

INVESTIGATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF 1.3-DIAZINONE-4 NEW DERIVATIVES AND THEIR NON-CYCLIC PRECURSORS IN RESPECT OF ESCHERICHIA COLI

Luzhnova S.A., Voronkov A.V., Kodonidi I.P., Gabitova N.M., Billel S.

Abstract

In various countries of the world, for at least last fifteen years, in the structure of nosocomial infections the leading position has been occupied by gram-negative pathogens, Escherichia coli in particular. The data of the World Health Organization testify the increasing resistance of this pathogen to antibiotics, which determines the relevance of creating and developing new antimicrobial agents. Primary screening of new 1.3-diazinon-4 derivatives and their non-cyclic precursors made it possible to identify the leader compounds capable of active suppressing the growth of E. coli and promising for the further study. The aim of the study is to investigate the activity of the compounds under laboratory ciphers of PYaTs4, PYaTs6, PYaTs7, PJTd8, PYaTd9, PYaTd15 with respect to Escherichia coli. Materials and methods. The study of the activity of the compounds was carried out on the basis of collection and freshly isolated strains from patients with different pathologies. Before the inoculation all the strains were identified by means of the BIOMIC V3 software complex (Giles Scientific, USA) to confirm their belonging to the genus and species. The strains used in the work were previously tested for susceptibility to antibacterial drugs by the disk method to assess the presence or absence of resistance. The activity of the new compounds was studied by the serial dilution method. Results and discussion. The investigation of the sensitivity of the strains by the disk method to antibacterial drugs used in the etiotropic therapy of infections caused by Escherichia coli revealed microorganisms with multiple drug resistance. The analysis of the inoculation of the strains showed that all the studied compounds have the ability to suppress the growth of E. coli being both collectively and freshly isolated from patients with various pathologies. Conclusion. The substances under the laboratory ciphers of PYaTd8 and PYaTs4 are the most active in respect to the studied strains. At the same time, the MIC50 (minimum inhibitory concentration) of all the compounds does not exceed 10–20 μg / ml, which makes them promising for the further study.

PHARMACEUTICAL PARTNERSHIPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PHARMACEUTICALS

Bulgakov A.L., Kosmakov R.V.

Abstract

This article examines the causes for creating alliances between manufacturers and drug developers. The attention has also been paid to the classification of such partnerships depending on the level of integration. The classification is necessary for further study of relations in the alliances. It is important to understand how economically effective and justified such partnerships are. The aim of the study is to determine the reasons for creating partnerships between drug developers and manufacturers, and to work out a classification of partnerships in the field of pharmacology. Materials and methods. The study analyzes existing alliances, partnerships of Big Pharma companies such as Bayer AG, Merck & Co, Pfizer. Results and discussion. The variety of forms of partnerships allows all participants in this market to get from cooperation the benefits they need. Some seek to reduce risk, others look forward to gaining access to new research opportunities, the third seek to share knowledge for greater productivity. However, there is always the opposite side, they have to sacrifice something to get a market advantage. For example, increased integration leads to a reduction in the risk of drug creation, but also leads to a decrease in the company’s independence. Conclusion. The results of this study can be used later in the study of the financial effectiveness of pharmaceutical partnerships, as well as in exploring the causes of alliances’ collapses. Any partnership has its value and can be considered as an intangible asset of the company. However, at the moment, there is no universal way of assessing this type of active assets, therefore, classification is a key step in creating a model for determining the value of a partnership.
