An agent-based approach to dynamically represent the pharmacokinetic properties of baicalein / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2015 (has links)
Purpose: To develop an agent-based, discrete-event, synthetic model that integrates the existing knowledge about intestinal absorption and disposition of baicalein (Ba) and dynamically represents the pharmacokinetic properties of Ba. To validate the model by matching simulated observations to bi-directional Caco-2 transport profiles of Ba. / Methods: A 3D multi-agent system extending the previous 2D in silico analogue of Caco-2 cell monolayer was used to study the pharmacokinetic properties of Ba. The model specification was based on previous study findings. Our model consisted of three 3D spaces and two 2D membranes: apical space (S1), intracellular space (S2), basolateral space (S3), apical membrane (M1), and basolateral membrane (M2). Validated enzyme components (UGTs and SULTs) and binder components (BINDERs) were placed in S2. Validated efflux transporter components (BCRPs, MRP2s, MRP1s and MRP3s) were placed at M1 and M2 respectively. Initially, Solutes (BA) were loaded to either S1 or S3. From there, they penetrated into S2 according to a validated, passive transport algorithm. Within S2, BA could be transformed into Baicalein-Glucuronide (BG) by UGTs or to Baicalein-O-Sulfate (BS) by SULTs. These metabolites were pumped out to either S1 or S3 by the active transport of BCRPs, MRP2s, MRP1s and MRP3s. Simulated results were then compared to corresponding wet-lab data to assess similarity based on the pre-specified similarity criteria. An iterative refinement protocol combined with Monte-Carlo simulation was employed to parameterize the model. Finally, the in silico parameters had also been mapped to the classical pharmacokinetic parameters. / Results: The simulated results captured the preset qualitative and quantitative features of the wet-lab observations. The feasible parameter set showed that substrate inhibition happened in both conjugation pathway of Ba. The simulation results suggested that sulfation pathway was dominated at low concentrations and that SULT was more inclined to substrate inhibition than UGT. All these findings were consistent with the previous outcomes from a catenary model. In addition, a micro-hypothesis that BS’s apical efflux transporter could be inhibited by Ba at high loading concentration was implemented to address the changing preference of the distribution of BS. / Conclusion: The mechanisms represented by our model are plausible. Our novel modeling approach could dynamically represent the pharmacokinetics of bi-directional transport of Ba in Caco-2 system. Furthermore, through the model development, we suspect there is inhibition of BS’s apical efflux transporter at high loading concentration of Ba, which is worthy of further investigation. / 研究目的:建立一個基於離散事件,並由智慧單元體組成的組合模型。該模型將整合與黃芩素小腸吸收和處置相關的已有知識,從而動態呈現黃芩素的藥動學性質。黃芩素在Caco-2系統中進行的雙向轉運實驗資料將被用來對該模型進行校驗。 / 研究方法:一個新的三維多智慧體系拓展自已有的二維Caco-2單層細胞體系模型,將被用來研究黃芩素的藥動學特徵。模型的配置將基於已有的研究發現。該模型由三個三維的空間對象和兩個二維的膜對象組成,他們是:頂端空間(S1),細胞內空間(S2),基底空間(S3),頂端膜(M1),和基底膜(M2)。已校驗的酶物件(UGTs和SULTs)和結合蛋白物件(BINDERs)將被設置在空間物件S2內。已校驗的外排轉運體對象(BCRPs, MRP2s, MRP1s和MRP3s)將被分別設置在膜物件M1和M2上。起始階段,黃芩素物件(BA)將被載入到空間物件S1或S3中。從載入空間出發,BA將基於已校驗的被動轉運演算法進入細胞內空間S2。在S2內,BA將通過UDP-葡萄糖醛酸轉移酶對象(UGTs)被轉化為黃芩苷對象(BG),或是通過硫酸轉移酶對象(SULTs)轉化為硫酸黃芩素物件(BS)。這些代謝產物物件將通過乳腺癌耐藥蛋白物件(BCRPs)和多種多藥耐藥相關蛋白物件(MRP2s, MRP1s和MRP3s)主動泵出到空間S1或S3中。模擬結果將按照預先設定的相似性判斷標準與對應的實驗資料進行比對。我們將通過結合蒙特卡洛模擬的迴圈反覆運算優化方案進行模型的參數化。最終,該模型參數將與傳統的藥動學模型參數建立起相關映射關係。 / 研究結果:模擬結果能夠很好刻畫實驗觀察到的定性和定量特徵。可行的參數集顯示底物抑制效應在黃芩素的兩條代謝通路都有發生。模擬結果顯示在低濃度下硫酸化通路是主要代謝途徑,且硫酸轉移酶相較於UDP-葡萄糖醛酸轉移酶更易被底物抑制。所有這些發現都與之前鏈式模型得到的結論相吻合。此外,一個關於硫酸黃芩素的頂端外排轉運體能夠被高濃度黃芩素抑制的微假設被引入到模型中來解釋硫酸黃芩素分佈偏好的變化。 / 結論:模型所呈現的機制是可行的。我們新穎的模型化方法能夠動態地呈現黃芩素在Caco-2系統中雙向轉運的藥動學特徵。此外,通過模型,我們推測硫酸黃芩素的頂端外排轉運體可能存在被高濃度黃芩素抑制的現象,這值得進一步的深入研究。 / Zhu, Xiao. / Thesis M.Phil.

A study of infraspecific flavonoid variation of Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae)Clark, Murray Nelson January 1978 (has links)
The genus Cannabis has been treated taxonomically by several authors, but two main hypotheses predominate. Small and Cronquist (1976) concluded that the genus is monotypic and contains only Cannabis sativa L. Subspecies were named according to the economic purpose of the plants, i.e. fibre or drug, and varieties were assigned according to habitat (wild or cultivated). Schultes (1974) believed the genus is polytypic, with Cannabis sativa L. representing the fibre plants, C. indica Lam, the drug plants, and C. ruderalis Janis. the wild and weedy plants.
A study of flavonoid variation was undertaken to determine which of the taxonomic schemes would be supported by this variation. Individual plants were examined by thin-layer chromatography and presence/absence data for nine flavonoids were analyzed by three types of computer programs.
The infraspecific variation of flavonoids in the genus Cannabis supports the monotypic theory of Small and Cronquist (1976). No consistent, distinguishable groups were noticeable in the data. Wild taxa were more closely related to their cultivated progenitors than they were to each other. A division of the genus Cannabis into several species would not be supported by flavonoid variation. / Science, Faculty of / Botany, Department of / Graduate

Qualitative Analysis of Sequence Specific Binding of Flavones to DNA Using Restriction Endonuclease Activity AssaysDuran, Elizabeth, Ramsauer, Victoria P., Ballester, Maria, Torrenegra, Ruben D., Rodriguez, Oscar E., Winkle, Stephen A. 01 August 2013 (has links)
Flavones, found in nature as secondary plant metabolites, have shown efficacy as anti-cancer agents. We have examined the binding of two flavones, 5,7-dihydroxy-3,6,8-trimethoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (5,7-dihydroxy-3,6,8- trimethoxy flavone; FlavA) and 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxy-2-phenyl-4H- chromen-4-one (3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxy flavone; FlavB), to phiX174 RF DNA using restriction enzyme activity assays employing the restriction enzymes Alw44, AvaII, BssHII, DraI, MluI, NarI, NciI, NruI, PstI, and XhoI. These enzymes possess differing target and flanking sequences allowing for observation of sequence specificity analysis. Using restriction enzymes that cleave once with a mixture of supercoiled and relaxed DNA substrates provides for observation of topological effects on binding. FlavA and FlavB show differing sequence specificities in their respective binding to phiX. For example, with relaxed DNA, FlavA shows inhibition of cleavage with DraI (reaction site 5′TTTAAA) but not BssHII (5′GCGCGC) while FlavB shows the opposite results. Evidence for tolological specificity is also observed, Molecular modeling and conformational analysis of the flavones suggests that the phenyl ring of FlavB is coplanar with the flavonoid ring while the phenyl ring of FlavA is at an angle relative to the flavonoid ring. This may account for aspects of the observed sequence and topological specificities in the effects on restriction enzyme activity.
