Granisetron is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used as an antiemetic to treat nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy.IC50 Value: 17uM (GR reduced 5-HT-evoked contractions) [1]Target: 5-HT3 receptorin vitro: In rat forestomach GR reduced 5-HT-evoked contractions at IC50 17 /- 6 uM. In isolated rabbit heart, GR 0.003-0.03 nM dose-dependently reduced s-HT tachycardia; at high levels GR reduced submaximal and maximal responses to 5-HT [1].in vivo: Leukocyte accumulation was dose-dependently inhibited by granisetron both at 6 and 72 h after induction of inflammation. Granisetron increased PGE(2) level at a lower dose (50 microg/pouch) but higher doses (100 and 200 microg/pouch) inhibited the release. At the same time, TNFalpha production was decreased by the lower dose and increased by higher doses of granisetron in a reciprocal fashion [2]. The GTDS displayed non-inferiority to oral granisetron: complete control was achieved by 60% of patients in the GTDS group, and 65% in the oral granisetron group (treatment difference, -5%; 95% confidence interval, -13-3). Both treatments were well tolerated, the most common adverse event being constipation [3].Clinical trial: Effect of External Heat on a Transdermal Granisetron Patch in Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Healthy Subjects.

Gatifloxacin had activity equal to that of tosufloxacin and activity more potent than those of norfloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin against the second-step mutants (grlA gyrA; gatifloxacin MIC range, 1.56 to 3.13 microg/ml) and had the most potent activity against the third-step mutants (grlA gyrA grlA; gatifloxacin MIC range, 1.56 to 6.25 microg/ml), suggesting that gatifloxacin possesses the most potent inhibitory activity against singly mutated topo IV and singly mutated DNA gyrase among the quinolones tested [1].Ophthalmic gatifloxacin 0.3% is at least as effective as ciprofloxacin at healing corneal ulcers infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa when gatifloxacin is administered less frequently than ciprofloxacin.

Pulsatilla saponin D(SB365) isolated from the root of Pulsatilla koreana, has exhibited potential beneficial effects as a chemopreventive agent for critical health conditions including cancer.IC50 value:Target:SB365 effectively inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells. Its apoptotic effect was accompanied by increased evidence of cleaved caspase-3 and poly(ADP ribose) polymerase. To elucidate the anticancer mechanism of SB365, we used an array of 42 different receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Of the 42 different phospho-RTKs, SB365 strongly inhibited expression of activated c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) in gastric cancer cells [1]. SB365 strongly suppressed the growth and proliferation of 5 human pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIAPaCa-2, BXPC-3, PANC-1, AsPC-1 and HPAC). The apoptotic effect of SB365 was demonstrated by increased levels of cleaved caspase-3 and decreased Bcl-2 expression via mitochondrial membrane potential, as well as elevated numbers of terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive apoptotic cells [2]. SB365 strongly suppressed the growth and proliferation of colon cancer cells and induced their apoptosis. Also, SB365 showed anti-angiogenic activity by decreasing the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF. These results were confirmed by an in vivo study showing that SB365 significantly inhibited tumor growth by the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of angiogenesis with stronger anticancer activity than 5-FU [3].

Rebaudioside A is a steviol glycoside, α-glucosidase inhibitor with IC50 of 35.01 μg/ml.can inhibit ATP-sensitive K+-channels.Target: α-glucosidase [1]IC 50: 35.01 ug/mLIn vitro: rebaudioside A stimulat the insulin secretion from MIN6 cells in a dose- and glucose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the insulinotropic effect of rebaudioside A is mediated via inhibition of ATP-sensitive K+-channels and requires the presence of high glucose. [2]In vivo: in vivo mouse micronucleus test at doses up to 750 mg/kg bw and an unscheduled DNA synthesis test in rats at doses up to 2000 mg/kg bw, rebaudioside A do not cause any genotoxic effects at any of the doses tested.[3]

Ampiroxicam(CP65703) is a nonselective cyclooxygenase inhibitor uesd as anti-inflammatory drug.Target: COXAmpiroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is a prodrug of piroxicam. Ampiroxicam inhibits the stretching response in mice induced by phenylbenzoquinone (PBQ) with maximum protective effect (MPE) of 2 mg/kg. Ampiroxicam inhibits swelling in a dose-responsive manner in the rat foot edema (RFE) assay with ED50 of 28 mg/kg at single oral dose and 7.8 mg/kg at 5 daily oral dose. Ampiroxicam blocks primary and secondary lesion development in rat adjuvant arthritis with ED50 of 2.2 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg, respectively. Ampiroxicam (3.2 mg/kg) leads to a plasma concentration of 12 μg/mL at a Tmax of 2 hours for piroxicam derived from ampiroxicam in rats [1]. Ultraviolet-A (UVA)-irradiated 1% Ampiroxicam sensitized in guinea pigs shows positive reaction in the patch testing to UVA-irradiated 1% Ampiroxicam and 1% thiosalicylate (TOS). Concentration of Ampiroxicam is easily reduced by the increase in UVA irradiation doses, as compared with that of piroxicam [2].
Loteprednol Etabonate is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid used in optometry and ophthalmology.IC50 Value:Target: Glucocorticoid Receptorin vitro:in vivo: Intravenous administration of loteprednol etabonate (5 mg/kg) to dogs revealed a terminal half-life of 2.8 h, a volume of distribution of 3.7 L/kg, and a total body clearance of 0.9 L/h/kg. Intact loteprednol etabonate was not detectable in the urine. After oral administration of the drug (5 mg/kg) to dogs, only metabolites, but no intact drug, were found in the plasma, an indication for a high first-pass effect. A pronounced binding of the drug to plasma protein (> 90%) and a high erythrocyte-buffer partition coefficient of 7.8 were determined in vitro.
