Polatuzumab vedotin as a salvage and bridging treatment in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas

2021

The antibody-drug conjugate polatuzumab vedotin (pola) has recently been approved in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR) for patients with refractory or relapsed (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). To investigate the efficacy of pola-BR in a real-world setting, we retrospectively analyzed 105 patients with LBCL who were treated in 26 German centers under the national compassionate use program. Fifty-four patients received pola as a salvage treatment and 51 patients were treated with pola with the intention to bridge to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (n = 41) or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (n = 10). Notably, patients in the salvage and brid…

Auxiliary-controlled stereoselective enolate protonation: Enantioselective synthesis of cis and trans annulated decahydroquinoline alkaloids

1998

Abstract The diastereoselective synthesis of the octahydroquinoline enone precursor of pumiliotoxin C is achieved via tandem Mannich-Michael reaction on N-galactosyl imines. Conjugate cuprate addition to the bicyclic enone stereoselectively forms the trans annulated 4a- epi -pumiliotoxin C skeleton in the presence of the carbohydrate auxiliary, and the cis annulated pumiliotoxin C skeleton in its absence.

Facile synthesis of 5β-cholane-sym-triazine conjugates starting from metformin and bile acid methyl esters: Liquid and solid state NMR characterizati…

2009

Abstract Four bile acid-triazine conjugates: N2′,N2′-dimethyl-6′-(3α-hydroxy-5β-24-norcholyl)-1′,3′,5′-triazine-2′,4′-diamine (lithocholyl triazine, 4a), N2′,N2′-dimethyl-6′-(3α,7α-dihydroxy-5β-24-norcholyl)-1′,3′,5′-triazine-2′,4′-diamine (chenodeoxycholyl triazine, 4b), N2′,N2′-dimethyl-6′6′-(3α,12α-dihydroxy-5β-24-norcholyl)-1′,3′,5′-triazine-2′,4′-diamine (deoxycholyl triazine) (4c), and N2′,N2′-dimethyl-6′-(3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-24-norcholyl)-1′,3′,5′-triazine-2′,4′-diamine (cholyl triazine) (4d) have been prepared and characterized by liquid and solid state NMR. An improved synthetic method produced better yields and an easier purification procedure for 4d than reported in the liter…

N-valproyl-aminoacids as new potential antiepileptic drugs: Synthesis, characterization and in vitro studies on stability

2015

Epilepsy, affecting at least 50 million persons worldwide, is one of the most common neurological disorders. Despite the significant advances in understanding epileptogenic mechanisms and in counteracting their pathological consequences, this clinical condition still has to be faced of treating more effectively the symptoms (epileptic seizures) and of preventing their unfavourable evolution. So far, research has been unsuccessful involved in developing effective antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) capable of preventing the development of the pathogenic process, set in motion by different etiological factors, that leads ultimately to chronic epilepsies .[1, 2] So, a substantial need remains to develo…

Biomateriālu: Biodentīna un Minerāltrioksīda agregāta (MTA) izmantošana zobārstniecībā anonīmā aptauja

2020

Ievads: Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādu biomateriālu, MTA vai Biodentīnu ikdienā izmanto zobārsti Latvijā un kādi ir faktori to nosaka. Metodes: Šķērsgriezuma pētījums tika veikts starp zobārstniecības speciālistiem, kuri strādā dažādu Latvijas Republikas reģionu klīnikās. Anketa tika izveidota, lai iegūtu nepieciešamo informāciju par MTA un Biodentīna izmantošanu konservatīvajā zobārstniecībā un endodontijā. Pētījumu apstiprināja Latvijas Universitātes Kardioloģijas un reģeneratīvās medicīnas institūta zinātniskās izpētes ētikas komisija. Rezultāti: No respondentiem tika saņemtas 105 aizpildītas anketas, kuras arī tika iekļautas datu analīzē. Respondenti bija vispārējie zobārsti (…

MANOTA: a promising bifunctional chelating agent for copper-64 immunoPET

2017

International audience; Improved bifunctional chelating agents (BFC) are required for copper-64 radiolabelling of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) under mild conditions to yield stable, target-specific imaging agents. Four different bifunctional chelating agents (BFC) were evaluated for Fab (Fragment antigen binding) conjugation and radiolabelling with copper-64. Two DOTA- (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) and two NOTA- (1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid) derivatives bearing a p-benzyl-isothiocyanate group were conjugated to Fab-trastuzumab - which targets the HER2/neu receptor - and the average number of chelators attached ranged from 2.4 to 4.3 macrocycles …

Polyaspartamide-Doxorubicin Conjugate as Potential Prodrug for Anticancer Therapy

2015

Purpose To synthesize a new polymeric prodrug based on ?,?- poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)(2-aminoethylcarbamate)-d,l-aspartamide copolymer bearing amine groups in the side chain (PHEA-EDA), covalently linked to the anticancer drug doxorubicin and to test its potential application in anticancer therapy. Methods The drug was previously derivatized with a biocompatible and hydrophilic linker, leading to a doxorubicin derivative highly reactive with amino groups of PHEA-EDA. The PHEAEDA- DOXO prodrug was characterized in terms of chemical stability. The pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and cytotoxicity of the product was investigated in vitro and in vivo on human breast cancer MCF-7 and T47D cell lin…

Preparation and preliminary biological screening of cholic acid–juvenoid conjugates

2020

Abstract Steroidal compounds have been utilized as carriers and for modification of physico-chemical properties of model biologically active secondary alcohols – juvenoids. Juvenoids are juvenile hormone analogues – environmentally safe insecticides, possessing significant biological activity towards different arthropods groups in focus on insect pest species. Structure modification of juvenoids plays important role to control the rate of liberation and decomposition of juvenoid in digestive system and can also play important role in the mode of action towards selected insect. This study presents an approach to the synthesis of steroidal monomers and dimers carrying one and two molecules of…

Assessment of Granger causality by nonlinear model identification: application to short-term cardiovascular variability.

2007

A method for assessing Granger causal relationships in bivariate time series, based on nonlinear autoregressive (NAR) and nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) models is presented. The method evaluates bilateral interactions between two time series by quantifying the predictability improvement (PI) of the output time series when the dynamics associated with the input time series are included, i.e., moving from NAR to NARX prediction. The NARX model identification was performed by the optimal parameter search (OPS) algorithm, and its results were compared to the least-squares method to determine the most appropriate method to be used for experimental data. The statistical significance of…
