Avaliação de bioquivalência de comprimidos contendo 100 mg de acetato de ciproterona / Bioequivalence evaluation of tablets containing 100 mg cyproterone acetate

Rute Chuang Kuei Ching 07 November 2006 (has links)
O acetato de ciproterona é um esteróide sexual sintético com atividade antiandrogênica, antigonadotrópica e progestagênica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a bioequivalência de duas marcas comerciais de comprimidos contendo 100 mg de acetato de ciproterona em voluntários sadios. O ensaio foi do tipo quantitativo direto, com delineamento aleatório, cruzado e aberto, formando-se dois grupos de voluntários, A e B. Entre as fases houve um período de \"wash out\" de 27 dias, correspondente a, no mínimo, 10 vezes o valor de meia-vida de eliminação de acetato de ciproterona. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas em tubo heparinizado até 216 horas após a administração dos produtos. A bioequivalência dos produtos foi avaliada quantificando-se o fármaco em plasma, através de metodologia bioanalítica desenvolvida e previamente validada. As curvas médias de decaimento plasmático obtidas para os produtos teste (Androsteron® 100 mg - Bergamo, lote PI0004) e referência (Androcur® 100 mg Schering, lote 14616A) foram semelhantes, da mesma forma que as médias dos parâmetros farmacocinéticos Cmax (referência: 159,05 ng/mL; teste: 170,40 ng/mL), tmax (referência: 3,59 h; teste: 3,50 h) e ASC0-t (referência: 5563,03 ngxh/mL; teste: 5453,80 ngxh/mL) e ASC0-∞ (referência: 6266,22 ngxh/mL; teste: 6218,31 ngxh/mL). No presente estudo, a análise de variância (ANOVA) realizada para avaliação do efeito de produto, grupo e período em relação aos parâmetros farmacocinéticos avaliados demonstrou ausência destes efeitos em ASC0-t e ASC0-∞ para os valores calculados com todos os picos da curva plasmática. A ANOVA indicou ainda ausência de efeito de produto e período para Cmax, mas presença de efeito grupo para este parâmetro. Entretanto a constatação do efeito grupo não significa que as formulações avaliadas não sejam bioequivalentes, apenas que há uma diferença entre os grupos de indivíduos. Os valores do intervalo de confiança 90% para a razão de Cmax, (91,0 a 117,9%), ASC0-t (88,4 a 107,8%) e ASC0-∞. (90,6 a 107,8%) encontram-se entre 80 a 125 %, intervalo proposto pelo FDA e ANVISA. Desta forma, a avaliação dos resultados obtidos permite concluir que não houve diferença significativa entre as formulações teste e referência, ou seja, as duas formulações possuem biodisponibilidades estatisticamente equivalentes, em termos de velocidade e extensão da absorção. / Cyproterone acetate (6-chloro-1β,2βα-dihydro-17-hydroxy-3\'H-cyclopropa[1,2] pregna - 1,4,6-triene-3,20-dione acetate) (CPA) is a synthetic steroid with antiandrogenic and progestogenic properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of two cyproterone acetate formulations. The bioequivalence of cyproterone acetate 100 mg tablets was determined in healthy volunteers after a single dose in a randomized crossover study, with a 27 days washout period between the doses. Reference (Androcur®) and test (Androsteron®) products were administered to twenty-four volunteers with 200 mL water after overnight fasting. Blood samples were taken up to 216 h post dose, the plasma was separated and the concentrations of cyproterone acetate were measured using a simple and rapid chromatographic method (HPLC). The pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Cmax, tmax and t(1/2)el were calculated for both formulations from plasma concentration time profiles. The calculated pharmacokinetic parameters were compared statistically to evaluate bioequivalence between the two brands and no significant differences between the two studied formulations were found. The 90% geometric confidence intervals of the mean ratio of In-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ values were between 91,0 and 117,9% (Cmax), 88,4 and 107,8% (AUC0-t) ando 90,6 and 107,8% (AUC0-∞), and thus within the acceptance ranges, satisfying the bioequivalence criteria of the European Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products and the US Food and Drug Administration Guidelines. In the Iight of the present study it can be concluded that the two evaluated cyproterone acetate formulations are bioequivalent in terms of the rate and extent of absorption.

Amelioration Of Amyloid Burden In Advanced Human And Mouse Alzheimer's Disease Brains By Oral Delivery Of Myelin Basic Protein Bioencapsulated In Plant Cells

Kohli, Neha 01 January 2012 (has links)
One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the amyloid plaque deposition in aging brains by aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides. In this study, the effect of chloroplast derived myelin basic protein (MBP) fused with cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) was investigated in advanced diseased stage of human and mouse AD brains. The CTB-fusion protein in chloroplasts facilitates transmucosal delivery in the gut by the natural binding ability of CTB pentameric form with GM1 receptors on the intestinal epithelium. Further, bioencapsulation of the MBP within plant cells confers protection from enzymes and acids in the digestive system. Here, 12-14 months old triple transgenic AD mice were fed with CTB-MBP bioencapsulated in the plant cells for 3 months. A reduction of 67.3% and 33.3% amyloid levels in hippocampal and cortical regions, respectively were observed by immunostaining of brain sections with anti- Aβ antibody. Similarly, 70% decrease in plaque number and 40% reduction of plaque intensity was observed through thioflavin S (ThS) staining that specifically stains amyloid in the AD brain. Furthermore, ex vivo 3xTg AD mice brain sections showed up to 45% reduction of ThS stained amyloid levels when incubated with enriched CTB-MBP in a concentration dependent manner. Similarly, incubation of enriched CTB-MBP with ex vivo postmortem human brain tissue sections with advanced stage of AD resulted up to 47% decrease of ThS stained amyloid plaque intensity. Lastly, lyophilization of plant material facilitates dehydration and long term storage of capsules at room temperature, in addition to increasing CTB-MBP concentration by 17 fold. These observations offer a low cost solution for treatment of even advanced stages of the AD by facilitating delivery of therapeutic proteins to central nervous system to address other neurodegenerative disease.

Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. / Os anticorpos monoclonais possuem diversasaplicações em transplantes, na composição de conjuntosde reativos para diagnóstico, grande variedade de doenças auto-imunes e, principalmente, na terapia do câncer. A tecnologia de produção de anticorpos monoclonais recombinantes revolucionou a geração de imunoglobulinas, possibilitando a obtenção de anticorpos humanizados dirigidos a uma grande variedade de antígenos específicos. A baixa seletividade das metodologias atuais para diagnóstico e terapia de neoplasiasconstitui um dos principais empecilhospara a prática oncológica. Nesse particular, a utilização de imunoglobulinas submetidas à engenharia genética já é uma realidade e significa um avanço estratégico, abrangendo cerca de 25% do mercado biofarmacêutico global de proteínas terapêuticas. Este trabalho aponta os aspectos fundamentais à concretização da metodologia de humanização de anticorpos por transplante das regiões determinantes de complementaridade – CDR, com ênfase em uma proposta de produção do anticorpo anti – CD20 contrao Linfoma Não-Hodgkin. A introdução do Instituto de Tecnologia emImunobiológicos - Bio-Manguinhos nesse promissor e importante mercado de biofármacos através da implantação da metodologia de humanização do anticorpo monoclonal murino anti-CD20 é objeto desta dissertação. Viabilizar sua produção torna-se extremamente importante, tanto para a identificação precisa e precoce da enfermidade, quanto para atender um segmento do mercado brasileiro ainda desprovido de tratamento abrangente e eficaz. A apresentação do estudo dos anticorpos, sua estrutura e características, o estudo dosdiferentes sistemas de expressão, cultivo, purificação,bem como a proposta de reestruturação e redimensionamento do Laboratório de Tecnologia de Anticorpos Monoclonais, parcerias, colaborações, recursos humanos necessários e aspectos de mercado, são aqui considerados. / Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) have several applications in transplants, reagents for diagnosis, a great variety ofauto-immune diseases and mainly, in cancer therapy. Mabs production employing recombinant echnologymade a revolution in immunoglobulinsgeneration, enabling the production of humanized antibodiesthat recognize specific antigens. The low selectivity of the current techniquesfor neoplasm diagnosis and therapy is one of the major impediments for oncology practice. In this regard, the use of eneticallyengineered immunoglobulins has become a reality and meansa strategic development comprising around 25% of the global biopharmaceutical market. This work shows the most important aspects in Mabs humanization through complementary determining regions (CDR) graft methodology, emphasizing a proposal ofanti-CD20 Mab production against non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Introducing the Instituto de Tecnologia emImunobiológicos – Bio-Manguinhos in this important and promising biopharmaceutical market through the establishment of humanization methodology is the main object of this dissertation. Making humanized Mabs production feasible is veryimportant not only for the earlyand precise identification of illnesses, but also to meet a demand of the Brazilian market that still lacks comprehensive and efficient treatment.

Emprego de anticorpos contra fragmentos específicos da proteína na avaliação da pureza e estabilidade durante as etapas de purificação. / Process development for human factor VIII purification by chromatography, the use of specific antibodies against fragments of the protein for evaluation of purity and stability during purification processes.

Jinzenji, Daniela 31 October 2008 (has links)
O fator VIII de coagulação (FVIII), recombinante ou purificado de plasma, é o biofármaco necessário para o tratamento da hemofília A, a doença hemorrágica mais freqüente em humanos. O método tradicional para a purificação de FVIII parte de crioprecipitado de plasma e precipitação alcoólica. No Instituto Butantan, foi proposto um método alternativo, utilizando somente cromatografia para esta purificação. Este projeto teve por objetivo comparar dois métodos cromatográficos de purificação do FVIII: 1 - gel filtração direta do plasma e 2 - pré-purificação de FVIII do plasma por cromatografia de troca aniônica, seguida de gel filtração. A purificação foi analisada por dosagens de atividade específica de FVIII e presença de outras proteínas da cascata de coagulação nas frações de cromatografia. Foram realizadas clonagem de fragmentos gênicos de FVIII e expressão de fragmentos protéicos para imunização de animais. Os soros com anticorpos policlonais anti-FVIII foram usados em ensaios de \"western blot\" para detectar as cadeias de FVIII ou degradação. / Coagulation factor VIII (FVIII), recombinant or purified from plasma, is the biopharmaceutical used for treatment of haemophilia A, the most frequent human hemorrhagic disorder. The traditional method used for purification of FVIII starts from plasma cryoprecipitate and alcoholic precipitation. The Instituto Butantan proposed an alternative methodology using only chromatography for FVIII purification. The main objective of this project was to compare two chromatographic methods for FVIII purification: 1 - direct plasma gel filtration and 2 - pre-purification of FVIII by anion exchange chromatography, followed by gel filtration. The purification process was analyzed by determination of FVIII specific activity and detection of other coagulation factors co eluting in chromatographic fractions. Fragments of FVIII gene were cloned and protein fragments were expressed for animal immunization. Sera with polyclonal antibodies anti-FVIII were used in western blots assays to detect FVIII chains or its degradation.

Protein complementation assay as a display system for screening protein libraries in the intracellular environment

Pow, Andrew James January 2008 (has links)
A wide range of screening strategies have been employed to isolate antibodies and other proteins with specific attributes, including binding affinity, specificity, stability and improved expression. However, there remains no high-throughput system to screen for target-binding proteins in a mammalian, intracellular environment. Such a system would allow binding reagents to be isolated against intracellular clinical targets such as cell signalling proteins associated with tumour formation (p53, ras, cyclin E), proteins associated with neurodegenerative disorders (huntingtin, betaamyloid precursor protein), and various proteins crucial to viral replication (e.g. HIV-1 proteins such as Tat, Rev and Vif-1), which are difficult to screen by phage, ribosome or cell-surface display. This study used the â-lactamase protein complementation assay (PCA) as the display and selection component of a system for screening a protein library in the cytoplasm of HEK 293T cells. The colicin E7 (ColE7) and Immunity protein 7 (Imm7) Escherichia coli proteins were used as model interaction partners for developing the system. These proteins drove effective â-lactamase complementation, resulting in a signal-to-noise ratio (9:1 – 13:1) comparable to that of other â-lactamase PCAs described in the literature. The model Imm7-ColE7 interaction was then used to validate protocols for library screening. Single positive cells that harboured the Imm7 and ColE7 binding partners were identified and isolated using flow cytometric cell sorting in combination with the fluorescent â-lactamase substrate, CCF2/AM. A single-cell PCR was then used to amplify the Imm7 coding sequence directly from each sorted cell. With the screening system validated, it was then used to screen a protein library based the Imm7 scaffold against a proof-of-principle target. The wildtype Imm7 sequence, as well as mutants with wild-type residues in the ColE7- binding loop were enriched from the library after a single round of selection, which is consistent with other eukaryotic screening systems such as yeast and mammalian cell-surface display. In summary, this thesis describes a new technology for screening protein libraries in a mammalian, intracellular environment. This system has the potential to complement existing screening technologies by allowing access to intracellular proteins and expanding the range of targets available to the pharmaceutical industry.
