Conductive polymeric composites of polycaprolactone fumarate and polypyrrole for nerve regeneration

A novel electrically conductive polymer composite composed of polycaprolactone fumarate-polypyrrole (PCLF-PPy) for applications in nerve regeneration is disclosed. The synthesis and characterization of PCLF-PPy and in vitro studies showing PCLF-PPy supports both PC12 cell and Dorsal Root Ganglia neurite extension. PCLF-PPy composite materials were synthesized by polymerizing pyrrole in pre-formed scaffolds of PCLF resulting in an interpenetrating network of PCLF-PPy. PCLF-PPy composite materials possess electrical conductivity up to 6 mS cm−1 with compositions ranging from 5-13.5 percent polypyrrole of the bulk material. Surface topographies of PCLF-PPy materials show microstructures with a RMS roughness of 1195 nm and nanostructures with RMS roughness of 8 nm. PCLF-PPy derivatives were synthesized with anionic dopants to determine effects on electrical conductivity and to optimize the chemical composition for biocompatibility. In vitro studies using PC12 show PCLF-PPy composite materials induce a higher cellular viability and increased neurite extension compared to PCLF. PCLF-PPy composites doped with either naphthalene sulfonic acid or dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid are determined to be the optimal materials for electrical stimulation. In vitro studies showed significant increases in percentage of neurite bearing cells, number of neurites per cell and neurite length in the presence of ES compared to no ES. Additionally, extending neurites were observed to align in the direction of the applied current. Electrically conductive PCLF-PPy scaffolds possess material properties necessary for application as nerve conduits. Additionally, the capability to significantly enhance and direct neurite extension by passing electrical current through PCLF-PPy scaffolds renders them even more promising as future therapeutic treatments for severe nerve injuries.

InactiveCN102353818ATo explore the degree of neuron-like differentiationScanning probe microscopyOperabilityTopography
The invention discloses a device for evaluating the neuron-like differentiation degree of a PC12 cell. The device consists of a hopping probe ion conductance microscope (HPICM) and a patch clamp system. An evaluating method comprises the following steps of: obtaining a glass microprobe for observing the micro-topography of the PC12 cell with an HPLCM technology; scanning and imaging the surface topographies of living neuron-like PC12 cell at different NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) induced differentiation time points with the HPLCM technology; analyzing the scanning and imaging with image processing software installed in an HPLCM system; obtaining the glass microprobe which is suitable for performing whole cell recording by adopting a patch clamp technology; recording the ion channel current of the living neuron-like PC12 cell under physiological conditions by adopting the patch clamp technology; and computing corresponding inward current and current density by using the ion channel current of the PC12 cell. The invention has the advantages: high operability is achieved by combining the HPLCM technology with the patch clamp technology, and the neuron-like differentiation degree of the PC12 cell can be qualitatively, quantitatively and comprehensively analyzed and evaluated more accurately on the aspects of structures and functions.

Peptoid Agonists of Nerve Growth Factor and Their Use as Medicaments

InactiveUS20120237552A1Preventing and treating nerve cell deathPreventing and treating and damageSenses disorderNervous disorderSide effectHalf-life
Neurotrophin binding to its specific receptors Trk A and p75 leads to the activation of multiple signalling cascades, culminating in neuroprotective and regenerative effects, including neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth. Neurotrophic factors have been used for the treatment of several neurodegenerative diseases. However, their use is limited by their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier, their short half life and their side effects. Small molecule neurotrophin mimetics may be beneficial in treating a number of neurodegenerative disorders. The present invention shows the capacity of nerve growth factor agonist molecules of Formulae I-IV, as defined in the specification, to induce differentiation in PC 12 cells, promote survival in RN22 cells and activate Trk A, IkBa and SAPK/JNK phosphorylation to various extents in both cell lines. In addition these molecules were able to ameliorate acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a multiple sclerosis (MS) animal model, inhibiting brain inflammation and reducing brain damage. We also observed suppression in the production of pro-inflammatory genes like the inducible nitric oxide synthase. These small molecules with NGF agonist activity may be beneficial for MS and other neurodegenerative diseases due to its neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties.

Salidroside analogues as well as preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses salidroside analogues as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps such as preparing an intermediate, namely acetyl glucoside, preparing the salidroside analogues and other steps. The obtained products can be used for low-sugar low-serum damage protection of PC12 cells, and the treatment of central nervous and peripheral nervous injury and wasting diseases. In the preparation method, when an aromatic ring contains a hydroxyl group, an acetyl group is used for protecting the hydroxyl group, so that the acetyl group is conveniently removed at the same time of the removal of the acetyl group on a sugar ring, thus avoiding the use of allyl and benzyl protection, shortening the reaction process and lowering the cost; the used solvent is a low-residue aprotic mixed solvent of dichloromethane and diethyl ether, and the glucoside is formed after reacting is performed at room temperature for 10 hours, thus avoiding the use of other more toxic solvents; by using a common inorganic reagent, namely potassium carbonate, the acetyl group is removed, and during column chromatography, dichloromethane is used for substituting for chloroform, thus contributing to the health of operators; and trace iodine is used as a catalyst, anhydrous calcium sulfate is used as a dewatering agent and a powdery 4-angstrom molecular sieve is added.
