Therapeutic Possibilities

  The present study focused on the beneficial effects of Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis CNRZ 1427 with possible use as a therapeutic agent against Sal-monella sp.; also we have proposed different therapeutic possibilities of our situation against a pathogen Salmonella sp. We have conducted two tests In Vitro and In Vivo; where it is noted that treatment in the presence of this lac-tic strain is effective since it causes a remarkable decrease of the pathogen agent. At the end, the effectiveness of this lactic strain was confirmed by testing for resistance to gastrointestinal conditions (pH, bile salts and diges-tive enzymes).

The Subject

One of the important properties of probiotics is the ability to survive in the intestine. There have been few studies on the probiotic property of lactococci, since they are formally not considered to be natural inhabitants of the intestine. To evaluate lactococci as probiotic bacteria, we investigated their ability to survive during gastric transit by in vitro and in vivo tests. When exposed to an in vitro simulated gastrointestinal environment, such as low pH and bile, only Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis N7 showed a moderate survival rate among the four strains tested. The tested strains were orally administered to mice, and intestinal passage of the ingested strains was monitored by two methods: antibiotics and PCR. Viable cells of strain N7 were recovered from feces within 24–48 h after administration but not at 72 h. Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris ATCC 19257, which had a poor survival rate in vitro test, was also detected at 12 h but not at 24 h. These results indicate that lactococci can reach the mouse intestine alive, but not colonize it. If administered daily, viable strain N7 may exist continuously in the intestine. The effect of strain N7 on intestinal microbial balance and on animal health will be the subject of a further study.Key words: Lactococcus, survival, gastrointestinal tract, probiotics.

Abstract.  For a very long time, probiotics have been selected on the basis of their suitability to food’s environment and technological procedures, as well as survival ability in vitro and also in vivo. These criteria are still used. The aim of this study was to select, using the Plakett-Burman design of experiments model, of three significant factors, which influence the multiplication ability and viability of probiotic strains Lactobacillus acidophilus (commercial code LA-5®) and Lactobacillus casei subsp. paracasei (commercial code L. casei 431®) in fermented mesophilic milk product (commercial named Sana) obtained by fermentation with a multiple culture with mesophilic lactic starter Flora Danica Chr. Hansen commercial starters (Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacetylactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris). By statistical analysis the most important factors (independent variables)  with influence on the probiotic bacteria were selected for the optimized. These are the temperature of fermentation; the ratio between probiotic strains and Flora Danica and the addition of prebiotic Fagopyrum esculentum flour. In the future experiments the optimum values of these parameters will be optimized by using response surface methodology, in order to establish the conditions in which can be obtain the mesophilic fermented milk products with probiotic action in vivo.

: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by memory impairment, dementia, oxidative stress in elderly people. Currently, only a few drugs are available in the market with various adverse effects. So to develop new drugs with protective action against the disease, research is turning to the identification of plant products as a remedy. Natural compounds with anti-inflammatory activity could be good candidates for developing effective therapeutic strategies. Phytochemicals including Curcumin, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Huperzine-A, Rosmarinic acid, genistein, obovatol, and Oxyresvertarol were reported molecules for the treatment of AD. Several alkaloids such as galantamine, oridonin, glaucocalyxin B, tetrandrine, berberine, anatabine have been shown anti-inflammatory effects in AD models in vitro as well as in-vivo. In conclusion, natural products from plants represent interesting candidates for the treatment of AD. This review highlights the potential of specific compounds from natural products along with their synthetic derivatives to counteract AD in the CNS.

Purpose: The work was performed to investigate the feasibility of preparing ocular inserts loaded with Poly-ε-Caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles as a sustained ocular delivery system. Methods: First, Atorvastatin Calcium-Poly-ε-Caprolactone (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles were prepared and characterized. Then, the optimized nanoparticles were loaded within inserts formulated with Methylcellulose (MC) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) by a solvent casting technique and evaluated physically, for in-vitro drug release profile. Finally, an in-vivo study was performed on the selected formulation to prove non-irritability and sustained ocular anti-inflammatory efficacy compared with free drug-loaded ocuserts. Results: The results revealed (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles prepared with 0.5% pluronic F127 were optimized with 181.72±3.6 nm particle size, 0.12±0.02 (PDI) analysis, -27.4± 0.69 mV zeta potential and 62.41%±4.7% entrapment efficiency. Nanoparticles loaded ocuserts manifested compatibility between drug and formulation polymers. Moreover, formulations complied with average weight 0.055±0.002 to 0.143±0.023 mg, and accepted pH. ATC-PCL nanoparticles loaded inserts prepared by 5% MC showed more sustained, prolonged in-vitro release over 24h. In-vivo study emphasized non-irritability, ocular anti-inflammatory effectiveness represented by smaller lid closure scores, and statistically significant lowering in PMN count after 3h. Conclusion: These findings proposed a possibly simple, new and affordable price technique to prepare promising (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles loaded inserts to achieve sustained release with prolonged antiinflammatory efficacy.
