Sulfated polymannuroguluronate, a novel anti-AIDS drug candidate, inhibits T cell apoptosis by combating oxidative damage of mitochondria.
Sulfated polymannuroguluronate (SPMG) has entered the phase II clinical trial as the first anti-AIDS drug candidate in China. Herein, we report that SPMG was effective at protecting T lymphocytes against apoptosis. Further studies indicated that SPMG significantly elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of T cells; inhibited mitochondrial release of cytochrome c (cyto c) in T cells; enh...
متن کاملPotentiation of T cell function by a marine algae-derived sulfated polymannuroguluronate: in vitro analysis of novel mechanisms.
Marine algae-derived sulfated polymannuroguluronate (SPMG), a candidate drug for AIDS treatment, was intraperitoneally injected into normal mice for 6 weeks, and the in vivo and in vitro mechanisms of SPMG for immunomodulation were investigated in isolated lymphocytes by MTT assay, flow cytometry, and surface plasmon resonance assay. SPMG treatment at 5 and 10 mg/kg enhanced concanavalin A (Con...
متن کاملMultiple and multivalent interactions of novel anti-AIDS drug candidates, sulfated polymannuronate (SPMG)-derived oligosaccharides, with gp120 and their anti-HIV activities.
Sulfated polymannuronate (SPMG), a novel anti-AIDS drug candidate, combats HIV-1 infection mainly by binding to gp120 protein with high affinity. To explore the structural basis of this anti-HIV-1 action, size-defined oligosaccharides were prepared by semi-synthesis or separated from native SPMG. In this study, a series of homogeneously sized SPMG fragments are evaluated for their capacity to b...
متن کاملPotential Anti-HIV Agents from Marine Resources: An Overview
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and is a global public health issue. Anti-HIV therapy involving chemical drugs has improved the life quality of HIV/AIDS patients. However, emergence of HIV drug resistance, side effects and the necessity for long-term anti-HIV treatment are the main reasons for failure of anti-HIV therapy. Therefore,...
متن کاملComparative studies of the effects of two novel sugar drug candidates on the CYP 1A2 and CYP 2E1 enzymes in different sexed rats using a "cocktail" approach.
The sex-based differences between the effects of two novel sugar-based drug candidates, a sulfated polymannuroguluronate (SPMG-911) and an acidic oligosaccharide sugar chain compound (AOSC-971), on the enzymes CYP 1A2 and CYP 2E1 were investigated. The results showed that neither SPMG-911 nor AOSC-971 have any effect on CYP1A2, while AOSC-971 induced the CYP 2E1 in male rats. The results are us...
