Цель исследования - изучение механизмов противоопухолевой активности ингибитора NOS Т1023 и оценка перспективности его дальнейшей разработки. Методика. В качестве опухолевой модели использована эпидермоидная КЛЛ, штамм которой получен из банка опухолевых материалов ФГБУ РОНЦ им. Н.Н. Блохина и поддерживался на самцах мышей C57BL6j. КЛЛ трансплантировали самцам мышей F1 (CBA´C57BL6j) путем подкожного введения 1,5×106 клеток карциномы в 0,1 мл суспензии на основе среды 199 в область латеральной поверхности правого бедра. Для сравнительной оценки противоопухолевой эффективности использовали ингибитор NOS под шифром Т1023, синтезированный в лаборатории радиационной фармакологии МРНЦ им. А.Ф. Цыба, и VEGF-ингибитор бевацизумаб (БВЗ). Животным первой опытной группы ежедневно, со 2 по 20 сутки вводили соединение Т1023 (60 мг/кг, в/б); второй опытной группы - трижды, на 2, 5 и 10 сут вводили БВЗ (12 мг/кг, в/б); третьей опытной группы - по этим схемам и в таких же дозах вводили и Т1023, и БВЗ (при комбинированном применении Т1023 вводили через 4 ч после введения БВЗ). Контрольным животным в качестве плацебо со 2 по 20 сутки вводили 0,9% раствор натрия хлорида (0,2 мл, в/б). Противоопухолевые эффекты оценивали, сравнивая размеры опухолевых узлов, длительность задержки роста и индекс торможения роста опухоли у контрольных и опытных животных. Гистологические методы исследования включали иммуноокрашивание на PCNA, CD31, пимонидазол и морфометрический анализ микроскопических изображений. Результаты сравнительных исследований показали, что соединение Т1023 и VEGF-ингибитор бевацизумаб (БВЗ) оказывают однонаправленное влияние на карциному легких Льюис (КЛЛ), сопровождающееся торможением роста и подавлением метастазирования неоплазии. Воздействие и Т1023, и БВЗ вызывало снижение содержания сосудов в перитуморальных зонах и в «горячих точках» ангиогенеза, усиливало гипоксию паренхимы КЛЛ и стимулировало апоптоз опухолевых клеток. При комбинированном применении Т1023 и БВЗ их антинеопластическая эффективность в отношении ингибирования ангиогенеза и девитализации опухолевых клеток соответствовала аддитивному действию. Заключение. Результаты позволяют предполагать, что основой противоопухолевой активности Т1023 является антиангиогенное действие и свидетельствуют о перспективности применения ингибиторов NOS в ангиостатической терапии солидных злокачественных новообразований в сочетании с имеющимися антинеоваскулярными средствами. The aim. Study of mechanisms of NOS inhibitor T1023 antitumor activity and estimation of its prospects for further development. Methods. Epidermoid Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) from N.N. Blokhin NMRCO bank of tumor materials was used as a tumor model. Maintenance of tumor cell culture was provided by intramuscular injection of tumor cells suspension to C57BL6j mice every 14 days. Then LLC cells were transplanted to male F1 mice (CBA´C57BL6j) by subcutaneous injection of 1,5×106 cells in 0,1 ml of 199 medium into the lateral surface of the right hip. Comparative studies of antitumor efficacy were carried out using NOS inhibitor T1023, synthesized in the laboratory of radiation pharmacology of A.F. Tsyb MRRC, and VEGF inhibitor Bevacizumab (BVZ). Mice from the first experimental group were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with compound T1023 at dose 60 mg / kg from day 2 to 20; animals from the second experimental group were treated with BVZ at dose 12 mg / kg ip at days 2, 5 and 10; the third experimental group received T1023 in combination with BVZ according to these schemes and at the same doses (T1023 was administered 4 hours after administration of BVZ). Mice from the control group received 0,9% sodium chloride solution (0,2 ml, ip) as a placebo daily from 2 to 20 days. Antitumor effects were assessed by comparing the tumor size, duration of tumor growth delay and the index of tumor growth inhibition in control and experimental groups. Histological examination methods included immunostaining on PCNA, CD31, pimonidazole and morphometric analysis of microscopic images. Results. Comparative studies have shown that compound T1023 and VEGF inhibitor Bevacizumab (BVZ) have unidirectional effects on Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), accompanied by growth inhibition and suppression of metastasis of neoplasia. The effect of both T1023 and BVZ caused a decrease in vascular content in the peritumoral zones and in the “hot spots” of angiogenesis, increased the hypoxia in the LLC parenchyma, and stimulated apoptosis of tumor cells. The combined use of T1023 and BVZ, caused the antineoplastic efficacy against inhibition of angiogenesis and devitalization of tumor cells which was estimated as additive effect. Conclusion. The results suggest that the basis of antitumor activity of T1023 is the anti-angiogenic effect and indicate the prospects of using NOS inhibitors in the angiostatic therapy of solid malignant neoplasms in combination with available anti-neovascular agents.

Pharmacokinetic Properties

The Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) methodology was used to predict biological properties, i.e., the blood–brain distribution (log BB), fraction unbounded in the brain (fu,brain), water-skin permeation (log Kp), binding to human plasma proteins (log Ka,HSA), and intestinal permeability (Caco-2), for three classes of fused azaisocytosine-containing congeners that were considered and tested as promising drug candidates. The compounds were characterized by lipophilic, structural, and electronic descriptors, i.e., chromatographic retention, topological polar surface area, polarizability, and molecular weight. Different reversed-phase liquid chromatography techniques were used to determine the chromatographic lipophilicity of the compounds that were tested, i.e., micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) with the ODS-2 column and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij 35) as the effluent component, an immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) chromatography with phosphatidylcholine column (IAM.PC.DD2) and chromatography with end-capped octadecylsilyl (ODS) column using aqueous solutions of acetonitrile as the mobile phases. Using multiple linear regression, we derived the statistically significant quantitative structure-activity relationships. All these QSAR equations were validated and were found to be very good. The investigations highlight the significance and possibilities of liquid chromatographic techniques with three different reversed-phase materials and QSARs methods in predicting the pharmacokinetic properties of our important organic compounds and reducing unethical animal testing.

AbstractCancer cachexia is a metabolic disorder characterized by skeletal muscle wasting and white adipose tissue browning. Specific functions of several hormones, growth factors, and cytokines derived from tumors can trigger cachexia. Moreover, adipose tissue lipolysis might explain weight loss that occurs owing to cachexia. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in intercellular communication. However, whether EVs participate in lipolysis induced by cancer cachexia has not been thoroughly investigated. Using Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell culture, we tested whether LLC cell-derived EVs can induce lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. EVs derived from LLC cells were isolated and characterized biochemically and biophysically. Western blotting and glycerol assay were used to study lipolysis. LLC cell-derived EVs induced lipolysis in vivo and vitro. EVs fused directly with target 3T3-L1 adipocytes and transferred parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), activating the PKA signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Blocking PTHrP activity in LLC-EVs using a neutralizing antibody and by knocking down PTHR expression prevented lipolysis in adipocytes. Inhibiting the PKA signaling pathway also prevents the lipolytic effects of EVs. In vivo, suppression of LLC-EVs release by knocking down Rab27A alleviated white adipose tissue browning and lipolysis. Our data showed that LLC cell-derived EVs induced adipocyte lipolysis via the extracellular PTHrP-mediated PKA pathway. Our data demonstrate that LLC-EVs induce lipolysis in vitro and vivo by delivering PTHrP, which interacts with PTHR. The lipolytic effect of LLC-EVs was abrogated by PTHR knockdown and treatment with a neutralizing anti-PTHrP antibody. Together, these data show that LLC-EV-induced lipolysis is mediated by extracellular PTHrP. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of lipid droplet loss and identify a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer cachexia.
