Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and silver-ion high-performance liquid chromatography (Ag-HPLC) were successively combined for the separation of the longer-chain metabolites of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). Commercial silver nitrate-impregnated columns were used with an eluting solvent composed of a mixture of hexane-acetonitrile. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from liver lipids of rats fed CLA were analysed. This method allowed separation both of the non-conjugated FAME, as C16:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:4 and C22:5, but also the conjugated fatty acids like CLA, 8,12,14-20:3, 5,8,12,14-20:4 and 5,8,11,13-20:4. The presence of 8,11,13-20:3 is reported for the first time. This method is of interest for the isolation and identification of the C20 conjugated metabolites that cannot be resolved by gas chromatography. Furthermore, it allows the isolation of FAME for further characterisation by GC-mass spectrometry (MS).

In vitro tests were performed to understand the effects of topical vehicles on the permeability of ketoprofen through artificial lipid barriers and heat-separated human epidermis consisting of stratum corneum and viable epidermis. Ketoprofen was selected as the model penetrant. Human epidermis and artificial membranes made from several mixtures of free fatty acids, cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, ceramides, and triglycerides were used as permeation matrices in untreated conditions and after pretreatment with petrolatum, wool alcohols ointment, or triglycerides. Apparent permeability and diffusion coefficients as well as the solubility of the drug in the artificial lipid matrices were ascertained. The solubilities of drugs and vehicle components that depend on the composition of the lipid matrix predominantly control the permeability of the barrier. Ceramides and cholesterol reduce the permeability and solubility, whereas triglycerides have the opposite effect. The vehicle effects in artificial membranes correspond to those in epidermis observed with samples pretreated with the aforementioned bases. The logarithms of the permeabilities of untreated and pretreated lipid mixtures 3, 4, and 5 are very well correlated with those of the permeabilities of heat-separated epidermis (r > = 0.9868). The artificial mixture containing all five lipids mentioned gives the best approximation to human epidermis. This result indicates comparable vehicle effects although the composition of the artificial mixture was adapted only in a simplified manner to the horny layer lipid phase. This lipid matrix or similar mixtures, therefore, are convenient tools for investigation into the effects of dermatological vehicles. 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association

The current study characterizes the lipogenic enzyme fatty acid synthase (FAS; EC 2.3.1.85) in pediatric tumor cell lines of neural or neural crest origin [medulloblastoma (Daoy), malignant rhabdoid tumor of kidney (SM II), retinoblastoma (Y79), and neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH)]. Constitutive FAS content and activity in these lines were compared to human fibroblast cell line Hs27. Hs27 exhibits low levels of FAS and recapitulates enzyme status in normal human tissues under most physiological conditions. Western analysis detected significantly larger amounts of FAS protein in Y79 and SK-N-SH than Daoy, SM II and Hs27. Incorporation of radiolabeled malonyl-CoA into total cellular lipid revealed that enzyme activity correlated with amount. Increased FAS content and activity in Y79 and SK-N-SH relative to the other cell lines and Hs27, in particular, implied enzyme activation in retinoblastoma and neuroblastoma lineages. The enzyme also showed evidence of hormonal regulation, as dexamethasone induced FAS protein in Daoy and SK-N-SH. However, hormonal induction of FAS protein levels did not correlate with activity levels, which led us to speculate phosphorylation as a means of regulating the enzyme's activity. Finally, the FAS inhibitor cerulenin was investigated for its ability to suppress tumor cell growth. After four days of propagation, short-term treatment of cell lines with drug produced mean IC50s less than 10.5 micrograms/ml (i.e., 5.6 +/- 1.9 for SM II; 9.3 +/- 1.5 for Daoy; 10.2 +/- 0.2 for SK-N-SH; and 10.4 +/- 2.6 for Y79). Annexin V assays revealed that cerulenin initiated apoptosis. The antineoplastic properties of cerulenin documented here are consistent with prior studies showing its cytotoxic effects upon other types of cancer cells and illustrate the potential utility of FAS inhibition as a novel chemotherapeutic approach.

BACKGROUND: Phenylacetate (PA), an aromatic fatty acid, is now undergoing evaluation as a potential anticancer reagent. Our previous study showed that PA induces cell growth inhibition in prostate cancer cells. Here, we investigated whether PA is effective against three renal cancer cell lines in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cell viability of PA-treated renal carcinoma cell lines (Caki-1, Os-RC-2 and RCC10) was assessed by trypan-blue exclusion and cell cycle distribution by flow cytometry. The cell cycle-regulatory protein expression was evaluated by Western blot, immunoprecipitation and kinase assay. RESULTS: Growth inhibition occurred with PA treatment at a dose of 2-5 mM and an increased percentage of cells in G1 after 24 hours of exposure. Reduced phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and CDK2 activity, increased expression of p21Cip1 and enhanced binding of p21Cip1 to CDK2 were observed following treatment with PA. CONCLUSION: Overall, these results suggest that p21Cip1 is a critical target in PA-mediated cell growth inhibition in RCC cells playing a key role in CDK2 inactivation, hypophosphorylation of pRb and subsequent G1 cell cycle arrest.

Sudden, and premature hair loss and
baldness is a problem in many ways.
Baldness is indeed becoming an increasing concern in the current aging society.
It changes personal appearance and identity in social context.
Saw palmetto berry extract is a widely known
herbfor hair loss as well as BPH problems in Western world.
Saw palmetto berry contains phytochemicals that inhibits 5-alpha-reductase that converts
testosterone to DHT.
There are a number of traditional herbs that could stop hair loss
and promotes hair growth.
Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese
herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people
taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to
the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.
