Improving SDS-PAGE method for monoclonal antibodies: The advantages of Tris-Acetate over Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE system and comparison with CE-SDS method.

Present study compares two different buffer systems for the electrophoretic separation of the IgG and IgG Monoclonal Antibodies using SDS-PAGE method. A modified Tris-acetate system was shown to be superior for separation of these proteins in a 6-20% gradient gel as compared with the traditionally used Tris-glycine method. This modified Tris-acetate buffer system showed sharper bands, more accurate determination of molecular weight, higher resolution, and better estimation of sub-fragments with closer results to those obtained by Capillary Gel Electrophoresis.

Elimination of ghost peaks by optimization of anion exchange chromatography method for determination of gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-domainless impurity in recombinant activated clotting factor VII drug products.

Secreted recombinant activated clotting factor VII activated (rFVIIa) in cell culture media missing gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain as a result of failure in gamma-carboxylation or cell lysis is called Gla-domainless impurity which has less negative charge compared to native rFVIIa. Based on risk assessment, this type of impurity is considered as critical drug product quality attribute of rFVIIa and its quantitative analysis in product batches is a critical issue in quality control laboratories. Analysis of Gla-domainless impurity is accomplished by Strong Anion Exchange Chromatography (SAX) in recombinant factor VIIa using Tris and Bis-Tris propane salt buffers as equilibrating buffers and high concentration ammonium acetate as an eluent.

Antitumor evaluation and 3D-QSAR studies of a new series of the spiropyrroloquinoline isoindolinone/aza-isoindolinone derivatives by comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA).

In current study, antitumor activity of two series of the newly synthesized spiropyrroloquinoline isoindolinone and spiropyrroloquinoline aza-isoindolinone scaffolds was evaluated against three human breast normal and cancer cell lines (MCF-10A, MCF-7 and SK-BR-3) and compared with cytotoxicity values of doxorubicin and colchicine as the standard drugs. It was found that several compounds were endowed with cytotoxicity in the low micromolar range. Among these two series, compounds 6i, 6j, 6k and 7l, 7m, 7n, 7o containing 3-ethyl-1H-indole moiety were found to be highly effective against both cancer cell lines ranging from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] in comparison with the corresponding analogs.

One-pot tandem Ugi-4CR/S(N)Ar approach to highly functionalized quino[2,3-b][1,5]benzoxazepines.

We have developed a convenient and facile method for the synthesis of functionalized diverse quino[2,3-b][1,5]benzoxazepines. These new compounds were synthesized through a one-pot sequential Ugi-4CR/base-free intramolecular aromatic nucleophilic substitution (S(N)Ar) reaction in moderate to good yields from readily available starting materials. Structural confirmation of the products is confirmed by analytical data and X-ray crystallography.

One-pot synthesis of spiropyrroloquinoline-isoindolinone and their aza-analogs via the Ugi-4CR/metal-free intramolecular bis-annulation process.

This presentation discloses a one-pot synthesis of a series of spiropyrroloquinoline isoindolinone and spiropyrroloquinoline aza-isoindolinone scaffolds. The reaction proceeds by the combination of a Ugi four-component reaction (4CR) and two intramolecular cyclizations under metal-free conditions. The proof of the structures relies on analytical investigation and X-ray crystallography.
