Amine Containing Analogs Of Sulindac For Cancer Prevention, Bini Mathew, Judith V. Hobrath, Michele C. Connelly, R. Kiplin Guy, Robert C. Reynolds

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Background:

Sulindac belongs to the chemically diverse family of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) that effectively prevent adenomatous colorectal polyps and colon cancer, especially in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Sulindac sulfide amide (SSA), an amide analog of sulindac sulfide, shows insignificant COX-related activity and toxicity while enhancing anticancer activity in vitro and demonstrating in vivo xenograft activity.

Objective:

Develop structure-activity relationships in the sulindac amine series and identify analogs with promising anticancer activities.

Method:

A series of sulindac amine analogs were designed and synthesized and then further modified in a “libraries from libraries” approach to produce amide, sulfonamide and N,N-disubstituted …

Diverse Amide Analogs Of Sulindac For Cancer Treatment And Prevention, Bini Mathew, Judith V. Hobrath, Michele C. Connelly, R. Kiplin Guy, Robert C. Reynolds

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Sulindac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has shown significant anticancer activity. Sulindac sulfide amide (1) possessing greatly reduced COX-related inhibition relative to sulindac displayed in vivoantitumor activity that was comparable to sulindac in a human colon tumorxenograft model. Inspired by these observations, a panel of diverse sulindac amide derivatives have been synthesized and their activity probed against three cancer cell lines (prostate, colon and breast). A neutral analog, compound 79 was identified with comparable potency relative to lead 1 and activity against a panel of lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines. Several new series also show good …

Examination Of The Pharmacodynamics And Pharmacokinetics Of A Diclofenac Poly(Lactic-Co-Glycolic) Acid Nanoparticle Formulation In The Rat, Sam Harirforoosh, Kelsi O. West, Derek E. Murrell, James W. Denham, Peter C. Panus, Greg A. Hanley

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

OBJECTIVE: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are assembled into two categories; cyclooxygenase (COX-1) sparing inhibitors of COX-2 and non-selective NSAIDs. Diclofenac (DICLO) is a non-selective NSAID that has been linked to serious side effects including gastric ulcers and renal injury. In this study, we examine the effect of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid nanoformulation on DICLO-associated adverse events and pharmacokinetics using a nanoparticle (NP) formulation previously developed in our laboratory.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats were administered a single dose of methylcellulose (VEH), blank NP, DICLO (10 mg/kg), or a DICLO-NP suspension equivalent to the DICLO dose. Urinary and blood parameters were measured …

Assessment Of Celecoxib Poly(Lactic-Co-Glycolic) Acid Nanoformulation On Drug Pharmacodynamics And Pharmacokinetics In Rats, Sam Harirforoosh, Kelsi O. West, Derek E. Murrell, James W. Denham, Peter C. Panus, Greg A. Hanley

OBJECTIVE: Celecoxib (CEL) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) showing selective cycloxygenase-2 inhibition. While effective as a pain reducer, CEL exerts some negative influence on renal and gastrointestinal parameters. This study examined CEL pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics following drug reformulation as a poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid nanoparticle (NP).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats were administered either vehicle (VEH) (methylcellulose solution), blank NP, 40 mg/kg CEL in methylcellulose, or an equivalent NP dose (CEL-NP). Plasma and urine (over 12 hrs) samples were collected prior to and post-treatment. The mean percent change from baseline of urine flow rate along with electrolyte concentrations in plasma …

Celecoxib Or Diclofenac Hepatic Status In The Presence Or Absence Of Rebamipide, Derek E. Murrell, Yuyun Rahmasari, James W. Denham, Peter C. Panus, Sam Harirforoosh

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

OBJECTIVE: Utilization of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac, can produce gastrointestinal ulceration. Thus, cyclooxygenase-2-selective inhibitors, such as celecoxib, and protective agents (e.g. rebamipide) have been employed to alleviate harmful NSAID effects. This study sought to explore the influence of rebamipide on the hepatic outcomes following administration of two commonly prescribed NSAIDs.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats were given either vehicle or rebamipide (30 mg/kg) orally twice daily for two days, then on the third day respective groups were dosed with either vehicle, celecoxib (40 mg/kg), or diclofenac (10 mg/kg) in addition to a respective dose of vehicle …

Histopathology And Oxidative Stress Analysis Of Concomitant Misoprostol And Celecoxib Administration, Derek E. Murrell, James W. Denham, Sam Harirforoosh

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), non-selective or selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and -2), reduce pain and inflammation associated with arthritic diseases. Celecoxib, a COX-2-selective inhibitor providing decreased gastric injury relative to on-selective NSAIDs, is commonly prescribed. Misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog, supplements NSAID-inhibited prostaglandin levels. As concomitant celecoxib and misoprostol administration has been shown to intensify renal adverse effects, this article examined the influence of concomitant administration on hepatic histopathology, oxidative stress, and celecoxib concentration. On days 1 and 2, rat groups (n = 6) were gavaged twice daily (two groups with vehicle and two groups with 100 μg/kg misoprostol). From …

Over-The-Counter Non-Steroidal Anti-Anflammatory Drugs In Adolescent Athletes, Anna Christine Parada

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are common medications used by the general population due their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. These are especially popular in athletes since they are not prohibited in many rules of athletic competition. Over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs comprise several drugs that may be purchased without a prescription. These are often over-utilized by the general population due to their accessibility and relatively low cost. The unsuspecting victims are the children, especially adolescent athletes, who deem OTC NSAIDs safe without realizing the potential adverse effects of inappropriate consumption of these medications. This article reviews the approved indications and side effects of …
