- Enzyme immunoassay for captopril
-
A simple enzyme immunoassay for the determination of captopril was developed. A specific antibody for captopril was produced in rabbits that were immunized with a hapten-bovine immunoglobulin G conjugate, which was prepared by using 4-(maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane carboxylic acid as a spacer group. The limit of detection in plasma is 0.5 ng/mL. The assay has an adequate specificity, so isolation of captopril is unnecessary.

- Synthesis, characterization, and targeted chemotherapy of SCT200-linker-monomethyl auristatin E conjugates
-
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are currently among the most successful and important strategies for treating patients with solid tumors. ADCs are composed of a monoclonal antibody and warhead, which are conjugated via a linker. Currently, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is the most widely applied warhead in the development of ADCs. However, MMAE-based ADCs are generally constructed using the MC-VC-PABC linker, and this design has limited structural diversity and some disadvantages. Accordingly, in this study, we generated three types of novel linker-MMAE (with alterations in the spacer, catabolizing area, and self-immolative compared with MC-VC-PABC-MMAE) in ADCs, termed SCT200-linker-MMAE conjugates, and then evaluated the linker-drug plasma stability and the rate of drug release by cathepsin B. The binding ability, internalization rates, and efficacy of all SCT200-linker-MMAE ADCs were systematically studied, and the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins and the therapeutic efficacies of SCT200-M-2, -C-2, and -C-4 were evaluated. The results showed that the activities of some of these ADCs were increased for epidermal growth factor receptor-positive tumors. Moreover, the novel linkers designed in this study can be linked with other antibodies to treat other types of cancer. Overall, these findings provide important insights into the application of SCT200-based linkers in ADCs.

- Biocompatible organic coatings based on bisphosphonic acid RGD‐derivatives for PEO‐modified titanium implants
-
Currently, significant attention is attracted to the problem of the development of the specific architecture and composition of the surface layer in order to control the biocompatibility of implants made of titanium and its alloys. The titanium surface properties can be tuned both by creating an inorganic sublayer with the desired morphology and by organic top coating contributing to bioactivity. In this work, we developed a composite biologically active coatings based on hybrid molecules obtained by chemical crosslinking of amino acid bisphosphonates with a linear tripeptide RGD, in combination with inorganic porous sublayer created on titanium by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). After the addition of organic molecules, the PEO coated surface gets nobler, but corrosion currents increase. In vitro studies on proliferation and viability of fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblastlike cells showed the significant dependence of the molecule bioactivity on the structure of bisphosphonate anchor and the linker. Several RGDmodified bisphosphonates of β–alanine, γ–aminobutyric and ε–aminocaproic acids with BMPS or SMCC linkers can be recommended as promising candidates for further in vivo research.
