Hypothesis: Simotinib hydrochloride (SIM6802), which is a new epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is often prescribed for cancer patients with comorbidities and has serious adverse effects on gastrointestinal physiology. The drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between simotinib and other drugs in combination and the underlying mechanism of its gastrointestinal toxicity remain unclear. We hypothesized that the DDIs and the gastrointestinal toxicity of simotinib were related to its effects on the permeability of the intestine.
Methods: To determine the intestinal absorption capacity, pharmacokinetic studies and an in situ loop assay were used. The intestinal permeability was measured by a Caco-2 Transwell model. Real time PCR and Western blots were applied to detecting the expression changes of cell junction genes.
Results: Our research demonstrated that simotinib upregulated the absorption of cefaclor, valaciclovir and acyclovir. The increase of non-selective absorption was caused by the low expression of cell junction gene afadin-6 and the increase in paracellular permeability in intestinal epithelial cells after simotinib treatment.
Conclusion: These findings revealed that simotinib upregulated intestinal absorption by increasing the paracellular permeability of intestinal epithelial cells. Our research provides theoretical bases for better formulation of EGFR-TKIs to alleviate adverse gastrointestinal effects and also provides guidance for clinical administration of simotinib.

Glycinin-induced foodborne enteritis is a significant obstacle that hinders the healthy development of the aquatic industry. Glycinin causes growth retardation and intestinal damage in hybrid yellow catfish ( ♀ × ♂), but its immune mechanisms are largely unknown. In the current study, five experimental diets containing 0% (CK), 1.

Introduction: A small number of soybean allergens [including Glycinin (11S) and β-Conglycinin (7S)] in the commercially available corn-soybean meal diet can still cause allergy in some weaned piglets, which may be the result of the interaction of genetic, and nutrition, but the specific mechanism is still unclear.
Methods: In this study, 20 allergic piglets and 20 non-allergic piglets were selected from 92 weaned piglets by skin sensitization tests, which were used to examine the whole sequence genome. The indicators related to humoral and cellular immunity, transcriptomics, and metabolomics analysis were determined by randomly selecting 5 boars in the allergic group and non-allergic group and then performing a validation .
Assessing the Impacts of Drug Loading and Polymer Type on Dissolution Behavior and Diffusive Flux of GDC-6893 Amorphous Solid Dispersions.

It is desirable but remains challenging to develop high drug load amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) without compromising their quality attributes and bio-performance. In this work, we investigated the impacts of formulation variables, such as drug loading (DL) and polymer type, on dissolution behavior, diffusive flux, and in vitro drug absorption of ASDs of a high T compound, GDC-6893. ASDs with two polymers (HPMCAS and PVPVA) and various DLs (20 - 80%) were produced by spray drying and their drug-polymer miscibility was evaluated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR).
