Clinical characterization and mechanism exploration of Fructus Psoraleae-induced hepatotoxicity in zebrafish AO Ting, WANG Ningning, ZHOU Lei, DENG Huifang, YANG Xingxin, ZHOU Wei, SHEN Pan, GAO Yue Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2024, 21 (6): 611-616.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240317 Abstract （218）      PDF（pc） （2408KB）（1591）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To investigate the effects of Fructus Psoraleae (FP) in accordance with clinical medicinal characteristics on the liver of zebrafish based on the proteome and its potential hepatotoxic mechanism. Methods Adult zebrafish were continuously treated with low, medium, and high concentrations of FP decoction (0.025, 0.050, 0.100 mg·mL-1) for 21 days. Changes in zebrafish body weight, liver histopathology, and levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the serum detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were compared. Potential hepatotoxic mechanisms were studied based on identified liver proteome through cluster and pathway enrichment analysis, and molecular docking was used to explore potential toxic targets of the main hepatotoxic components of FP. Results Zebrafish treated with FP decoction showed a significant decrease in body weight compared to the control group, with a more pronounced weight loss as the concentration increased. The levels of ALT and AST were significantly elevated in the Angelica sinensis treated group, with a dose-dependent effect (P < 0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining results showed disordered arrangement of liver cells, increased gaps, and phenomena such as steatosis and immune cell infiltration in the liver tissues of the FP-treated group compared to the control group, with the severity of the lesions worsening with increasing concentration. Cluster and functional enrichment analysis of the proteome indicated that FP affected the expression of lipid and energy metabolism-related proteins, including acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (acat1), 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ehhadh), succinate dehydrogenase (sdha) and succinate dehydrogenase (sdhb) in the zebrafish liver, and molecular docking revealed the potential of the main hepatotoxic components in FP to bind to these proteins. Conclusion Long-term Fructus Psoraleae administration causes hepatic lipid metabolism disorders, ultimately resulting in hepatotoxicity characterized by steatosis, with the potential toxicity mechanism involving abnormal expression of lipid and energy metabolism-related proteins induced by main hepatotoxic compounds in FP.

Evaluation methods for aerodynamic particle size distribution of fine particles in inhaled products JIA Yinyin, ZHANG Caishu, ZHOU Ying, LIU Li, GENG Ying, WEI Ningyi, NIU Sijing, CHEN Hua, XU Hui Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2024, 21 (2): 141-146.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20230411 Abstract （348）      PDF（pc） （1447KB）（1092）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness of drugs by evaluating the aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) of inhaled formulations. Methods The methods and related standards for detecting APSD specified in different national pharmacopoeias were compared and contrasted. APSD was characterized using multiple econometric parameters. The size of the fine particle dose and its proportion in the total collected dose were used as the key indicators for evaluating inhaled products. Results The Anderson cascade impactor (ACI) and the next generation impactor (NGI) were currently the most widely used and included in the US Pharmacopoeia. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia also included a glass twin impinger while the European Pharmacopoeia also included a multi-stage liquid impactor. The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was an important variable to control the deposition position of particles in the lung. The geometric standard deviation (GSD) represented the shape of the drug particle size distribution curve. The closer to 1 the distribution curve, the narrower the distribution of particles. The changes in APSD could be detected by measuring both the ratio of the large particle mass (LPM) to the small particle mass (SPM) and the impactor-sized mass (ISM) in effective data analysis (EDA). The size and distribution of drug particles largely determined the location and amount of particle deposition in the respiratory system, thereby affecting the efficacy of drugs. The delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the inhaled formulations to the lungs through the respiratory system required that the aerodynamic particle size of aerosols range from 1 to 5 μm. Conclusion Appropriate testing methods can ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of inhaled products. Well-designed dosages and drug particle sizes are the key indicators that determine the performance of inhaled formulations. Therefore, successive improvement of testing methods for fine particles and in-depth research on the correlation between in vitro and in vivo use can facilitate the research and development of inhaled products.
