Antigen Antibody

Each of several antigen-antibody systems studied has been found to affect the coagulation mechanism in the rabbit, causing a marked shortening of the coagulation time in vitro of samples of whole blood maintained in siliconized glassware. Addition of specific antigen to the blood of actively immunized animals or addition of antigen-antibody mixtures to the blood of normal animals produced the effect. The coagulation time of plasma was not affected, indicating that the phenomenon may be mediated by an effect on platelets. This effect of antigen-antibody interaction may be involved in the production of tissue damage in vivo.

Bacterial Endotoxins

Bacterial endotoxins in vitro are capable of shortening the coagulation time of normal whole blood, native platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma, and the blood of a hemophilic patient in silicone but not in glass. The point in the coagulation system at which the endotoxins act has not been found but the search has been narrowed by the demonstration that these materials act independently of leukocytes and red blood cells, and do not act as preformed thromboplastin or thrombin. The shortening of the coagulation time in vivo 4 hours after endotoxin injection is probably through a different mechanism than in vitro.

Abstract It is possible to produce fluorescence of erythrocytes as the result of specific antigen-antibody reactions of various blood group antigens; thus far, the factors A and B, a variety of Rh antigens and Kidd, have been successfully demonstrated with this method. It is important to realize that in the presence of adequate negative controls, low intensity fluorescence like that obtained with Rh antigens is nevertheless specific in systems involving erythrocytes. The method discriminates between A1 and A2 cells. More antibody must be attached to the red cell for fluorescence than for agglutination. The relative paucity of antigenic sites of Rh substance as compared to A and B antigens is reflected by the difference in intensity of fluorescence. The fluorescent antibody technic has been used successfully for the demonstration, and, to some extent, quantitation of minor cell populations in in vitro mixtures and in vivo. Injected Rh-positive erythrocytes were demonstrated in the blood of an Rh-negative volunteer during a period of 20 days. Fetal Rh-positive erythrocytes were demonstrated in several Rh-negative women, both with and without antibody, in the last trimester of gestation.

Infusion Period

1. The inhibitory effects of aspirin on platelet function in vitro have been shown to be both time (over 3 h) and concentration (1–10 μmol/l) dependent. 2. To determine if these effects occurred in vivo, four volunteers received intravenous infusions on four occasions, to give constant plasma aspirin concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 4 μmol/l over 3 h. Infusions were performed at intervals of at least 2 weeks. 3. Before and during the infusions, blood was taken for assay of aspirin concentrations, and measurements of platelet aggregation in response to collagen, adenosine 5′-pyrophosphate and arachidonate. Thromboxane generation after stimulated platelet aggregation and whole-blood coagulation was also measured. 4. At each aspirin concentration, both platelet aggregation and thromboxane generation in response to collagen and arachidonate were inhibited progressively over the 3 h infusion period. Greatest inhibition was seen during the 4 μmol/l infusion, which produced maximal or near-maximal inhibition by the third hour. 5. Thromboxane generated during whole-blood coagulation was similarly inhibited in both a time- and concentration-dependent manner throughout all aspirin infusions. 6. The progressive nature of the inhibition of platelet function with these low aspirin concentrations may be due to either slow aspirin transport across the platelet membrane or delayed interaction with cyclo-oxygenase.

Initiation Phase

Abstract Tissue factor (TF) is an integral membrane protein, which is the key initiator of blood coagulation in vivo. Due to the limited availability of natural TF, recombinant proteins of various lengths and origins have been extensively used in research and clinical laboratories worldwide. Experimental results acquired with recombinant TF proteins are frequently used for the understanding of the coagulation processes occurring in vivo, although there is a lack of data confirming the structural and functional identity of natural TF proteins from various sources and recombinant ones. In the current study, human TF from cultured monocytes and purified from placenta were compared with three different species of recombinant TF: 1–218 (extracellular domain only), 1–242 (lacking cytoplasmic domain) and 1–263 (full-length). Anti-TF mAbs gave 93–98% inhibition of TF activity for all TF species tested, in both natural and relipidated preparations. It was established that purified placental TF has a higher affinity for factor VIIa (Kd 0.13 nM) than recombinant counterparts 1–242 and 1–263 (Kd 0.50–0.80 nM). Similarly, placental TF is more efficient in factor X activation by the extrinsic Xase than recombinant TF 1–242 (the second order rate constants are 3.0x107 and 0.7x107 M−1s−1, respectively). We explored the use of these TF species as well as monocyte TF (purified/relipidated and present on LPS-stimulated monocytes) for the initiation of thrombin generation in two in vitro models of blood coagulation. At equimolar concentrations (5 pM; determined by immunoassay), when evaluated in synthetic plasma reconstituted with 2x108/ml platelets, recombinant TF 1-263 provided an initiation phase of ~4 min. Placental TF and relipidated monocyte TF had similar profiles of thrombin generation with an initiation phase of ~3 min. In contrast, 0.5 pM TF on LPS-stimulated monocytes gave an initiation phase of ~1 min. Even at 0.05 pM concentration, monocyte TF was as active as any relipidated protein at 5.0 pM. A similar pattern of relative TF activity was observed in whole blood and plasma PT clotting assays. TF on stimulated monocytes gave the highest activity, exceeding that of any relipidated protein by 100–200-fold. Recombinant TF 1–242 was more active than recombinant TF 1–263 and placental TF in the PT assay but less active in synthetic plasma and whole blood. The lowest overall activity was observed for relipidated monocyte TF. Our data suggest that TF proteins from different sources are different with respect to their functional properties.

SummaryThe natural course of defibrination syndrome caused by Echis colorata venom (ECV) in five patients is reported. All patients developed afibrinogenemia within six hours after the bite. Concomitantly a depression in factor V was recorded. Factor VIII and thrombocyte count in blood were normal in most patients. In the light of the known effects of ECV on blood coagulation in vivo and in vitro it is concluded that the afibrinogenemia is due to intravascular clotting.Four patients had transient renal damage, manifested by oliguria, azotemia, albuminuria and cylindruria, ascribed to microthrombi in the renal glomeruli.After the bite, the natural course was benign, no major bleeding was observed, and all signs of coagulopathy reverted to normal within 7 days. Therefore we recommend no specific treatment for this condition. In the case of heavily bleeding patients, administration of antiserum against ECV and/or heparin should be considered.

AbstractLow-dose aspirin (ASA) is used to prevent cardiovascular events. The most commonly used formulation is enteric-coated ASA (EC-ASA) that may be absorbed more slowly and less efficiently in some patients. To uncover these “non-responders” patients, the availability of proper analytical methods is pivotal in order to study the pharmacodynamics, the pharmacokinetics and the metabolic fate of ASA. We validated a high-throughput, isocratic reversed-phase, negative MRM, LC–MS/MS method useful for measuring circulating ASA and salicylic acid (SA) in blood and plasma. ASA-d4 and SA-d4 were used as internal standards. The method was applied to evaluate: (a) the "in vitro" ASA degradation by esterases in whole blood and plasma, as a function of time and concentration; (b) the "in vivo" kinetics of ASA and SA after 7 days of oral administration of EC-ASA or plain-ASA (100 mg) in healthy volunteers (three men and three women, 37–63 years). Parameters of esterases activity were Vmax 6.5 ± 1.9 and Km 147.5 ± 64.4 in plasma, and Vmax 108.1 ± 20.8 and Km 803.2 ± 170.7 in whole blood. After oral administration of the two formulations, tmax varied between 3 and 6 h for EC-ASA and between 0.5 and 1.0 h for plain-ASA. Higher between-subjects variability was seen after EC-ASA, and one subject had a delayed absorption over eight hours. Plasma AUC was 725.5 (89.8–1222) for EC-ASA, and 823.1(624–1196) ng h/mL (median, 25–75% CI) for plain ASA. After the weekly treatment, serum levels of TxB2 were very low (< 10 ng/mL at 24 h from the drug intake) in all the studied subjects, regardless of the formulation or the tmax. This method proved to be suitable for studies on aspirin responsiveness.

Background:Janus kinases (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2) play critical roles in mediating various cytokine signaling, and has been developed as a target for autoimmune diseases such as RA. Tofacitinib, oral Pan-JAK inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy in RA patients, but its widespread use is limited by safety issues. Baricitinib, JAK1/2 inhibitor, is also known to interfere with the hematopoiesis system, such as anemia and thrombocytopenia associated with suppression of JAK2 signals. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new potent compound that selectively inhibits JAK1 over JAK2, 3Objectives:To identify the pharmacological characteristic based on efficacy of CJ-15314 as potent and selective JAK1 inhibitor for treatment of autoimmune disease.Methods:In vitro, cell-based, kinase panel, Kd value and human whole blood assay were performed to determine the inhibition potency and selectivity for JAK subfamily kinases. In vivo therapeutic potential was evaluated by RA model including rat Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis (AIA) and collagen-induced arthritic (CIA). To confirm the possibility of further expansion into the autoimmune disease, BioMAP® Diversity PLUS® Panel was performed by discoverX.Results:In vitro assay, CJ-15314 inhibited JAK kinase family in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 values of 3.8 nM against JAK1, Selectivity for JAK1 over JAK2, 3 was approximately 18, 83 fold greater for CJ-15314. In 1mM ATP condition, CJ-15314 has been confirmed to have the highest JAK1 selectivity over competing drugs, under 1 mM ATP condition that reflects the physiological environment in the body. Similarly, Kd values has also confirmed the selectivity of JAK1, which is 10 fold higher than JAK2, 3. Accordingly, in human whole blood assays, CJ-15314 is 11 fold more potent against IL-6 induced pSTAT1 inhibition through JAK1 (IC50 value: 70 nM) than GM-CSF-induced pSTAT5 inhibition (JAK2) whereas baricitinib and filgotinib exhibited only 2 fold and 7 fold respectively.In vivo efficacy model, CJ-15314 inhibited disease severity scores in a dose dependent manner. In the rat AIA model, CJ-15314 at 30 mg/kg dose showed 95.3% decrease in arthritis activity score, 51.2% in figotinib at 30 mg/kg, 97.7% showed baricitinib at 10 mg/kg. CJ-15314 showed superior anti-arthritic efficacy than filgotinib. CJ-15314 also minimally affected anemia-related parameters but not bricitinib end of the 2-week treatment. In the rat CIA model, like 10 mg/kg of bricitinib, 30 mg/kg of CJ-15314 also has a similar effect, with a significant reduction in histopathological scores.In biomap diversity panel, CJ-15314 inhibited the expression of genes such as MCP-1, VCAM-1, IP-10, IL-8, IL-1, sTNF-α and HLA-DR confirming the possibility of expansion into other diseases beyond arthritis.Conclusion:CJ-15314 is a highly selective JAK1 inhibitor, demonstrates robust efficacy in RA animal model and is good candidate for further development for inflammatory diseases.* CJ-15314 is currently conducting a phase I trial in south Korea.References:[1]Clark JD et al.

Background:Janus kinases (JAKs) are important regulators of intracellular responses triggered by many key proinflammatory cytokines and are clinically validated therapeutic targets for treating various autoimmune diseases. However, current approved JAK inhibitors failed to achieve maximal clinical benefit in part due to their unfavorable selectivity for individual JAKs such as JAK2 and/or JAK3, leading to dose-limiting toxicities or severe toxicities (e.g., thrombosis, anemia, immune suppression). Selective inhibition of JAK1 and/or TYK2 may minimize or avoid some of the toxicities and potentially offer a better therapeutic window for treating autoimmune diseases. No highly selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor has been reported to date.Objectives:Discovery of a highly selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor that maximally avoids JAK2 and JAK3 inhibition. We described preclinical characterization of a novel, highly potent and selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor TLL018 and its potential utility in treating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Using predicting SAR, TLL018 was designed to achieve exquisite selectivity for both JAK1 and TYK2 while sparing JAK2, JAK3 and other human kinases. Its enzyme and cell activities, kinase selectivity, andin vivoefficacy were assessed in a battery of relevant enzyme, cell and whole blood assays, andin vivoarthritis animal models. Additional preclinical DMPK and toxicology studies were conducted to support its clinical development.Results:TLL018 is a highly potent and selective, orally bioavailable JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor against JAK1 (IC50= 4 nM) and TYK2 (IC50= 5 nM) as measured inin vitrokinase assays with ATP concentrations at individual Km. Its potency against JAK2 or JAK3 is greater than 1 µM. Profiling against a panel of over 350 human kinase showed that TLL018 is exclusively selective for JAK1 and TYK2, with ≥ 90-fold selectivity against all other kinases tested. TLL018 exhibited potent cellular activity for JAK1-mediated IL-6 signaling (IC50= 0.6 µM) with greater than 100-fold selectivity against JAK2-mediated cytokine (e.g., TPO) signaling in human whole blood-based assays.Oral administration of TLL018 demonstrated dose-dependent efficacy in commonly studied rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (rAIA) model and mouse collagen-induced arthritis (mCIA) model. Significant inhibition of inflammation, bone resorption, splenomegaly and body weight change was observed in adjuvant-induced disease in rats. In addition, significant inhibition of inflammation, cartilage destruction, bone resorption and histological signs was demonstrated in collagen-induced arthritis in mice. Noticeably, TLL018 exhibited significant anti-inflammation activity at doses that only blocked JAK1 and TYK2 and exerted little inhibition of JAK2 and JAK3.In support of clinical development of TLL018, preclinical ADME and PK studies and IND-enabling toxicology and safety pharmacology studies were completed, confirming that TLL018 possesses excellent ADME and PK properties, and exhibits a clean on-target safety profile.Conclusion:TLL018 is a highly potent and selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor that demonstrated excellent efficacy and tolerability in relevant mouse and rat arthritis models. The collective data of its preclinical pharmacology, PK and toxicology showed a favorable pharmaceutical profile, further supporting its development for treating autoimmune diseases including RA. Clinical evaluation of TLL018 is ongoing.Disclosure of Interests:Xiangdong Liu Shareholder of: I own shares of TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Employee of: I am employed by TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Fenlai Tan Shareholder of: I own shares of TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Employee of: I am employed by TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Chris Liang Shareholder of: I own shares of TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Employee of: I am employed by TLL Pharmaceutical LLC
