[Synthesis and study of immobilized insulin].

Conjugates of insulin with duck egg-white ovomucoid and soybean trypsin inhibitor were synthesized. The conjugates are highly stable to alpha-chymotrypsin treatment. Oral administration of insulin-ovomucoid conjugates in rabbits significantly lowered blood glucose level unlike administration of insulin-soybean trypsin conjugate.

Biospecific haemosorbents based on proteinase inhibitor. II. Efficiency of biospecific antiproteinase haemosorbent 'Ovosorb' in complex treatment of experimental generalized purulent peritonitis and acute destructive pancreatitis in dogs.

The biospecific antiproteinase haemosorbent (BAH) 'Ovosorb' containing, in the bulk of polyacryamide gel, the ovomucoid from whites of duck eggs, was used for a complex treatment of the experimental generalized purulent peritonitis and acute destructive pancreatitis in dogs. The efficiency of BAH was manifested in the significant reduction of lethality of the experimental animals, a more rapid liquidation of proteinasaemia, normalization in plasma of alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor and protein metabolism. Thus, by eliminating proteinases from circulation, Ovosorb contributes to the cessation of imbalance in the proteinase-inhibitor system and is efficient in the therapy of pathological states related to this imbalance.

Biospecific haemosorbents based on proteinase inhibitor. I. Synthesis and properties.

Sorbents for the removal of proteolytic enzymes from biological fluids were synthesized by immobilization of proteinase inhibitor, ovomucoid from duck egg white, in polymeric hydrogel matrix. The immobilization of the protein inhibitor modified by acryloyl chloride occurs during copolymerization of the unsaturated derivative of inhibitor with hydrophilic monomer and crosslinking agent. It was shown that the sorbent obtained possesses a high affinity for proteinases and is haemocompatible. The use of the haemosorbent for eliminating excess activated proteinase from blood is proposed.

On the mechanism of enhanced thromboresistance of polymeric materials in the presence of heparin.

Polymeric materials with covalently immobilized heparin were shown to display enhanced thromboresistance in vitro and in vivo experiments. This property of heparin-containing polymers is due to the specific effect of immobilized heparin for every step of interaction of a polymer with blood. The presence of heparin substantially changes the character of adsorbed proteins on a polymer surface and the number of adhered platelets. Thromboresistance enhancement is largely carried out by the interaction of immobilized heparin with plasma proteins which is accompanied by the decrease in total blood coagulant activity, by the decrease in fibrinogen, prothrombin and thrombin concentrations, and by the supression of fibrinstabilizing factor activity. The free heparin content in blood is not changed. It was found that immobilized heparin forms complexes with fibrinogen, thrombin and plasmin that produce lytic action on unstabilized fibrin.

On the interaction of heparin-containing polymers with plasma proteins and blood.

In vitro exper iments showed that polymeric hydrogels containing covalently immobilized heparin affect the parameters of blood clotting system. This is not accounted for by the elution of heparin into the surrounding medium and this property of heparin-containing polymers is caused by specific interaction of immobilized heparin with plasma proteins. By the methods of coagulograms and thromboelastography it was revealed that the decrease of total blood anticoagulant activity takes place due to the decrease in blood of fibrinogen, prothrombin and thrombin content and the suppression of fibrin stabilizing factor activity. Free heparin content in blood was left unaffected. It was found that plasma proteins permeate the hydrophilic polymer matrix and interact with immobilized heparin. Binding strength for immobilized heparin is decreased in the array fibrinogen congruent to thrombin much greater than plasmin greater than serum albumin. Complexes of immobilized heparin with fibrinogen, thrombin and plasmin display lytic action towards unstabilized fibrin.

[Reaction between blood and heparin immobilized on synthetic polymers].

The influence of heparin covalent immobilization on its biological functions was studied. In-vivo experiments with prosthetic vascular devices made from polyethyleneterephthalate modified with heparin demonstrated that after 6 months of implantation to dogs the prostheses maintain their functions without thrombus formation. Thromboelastography and coagulograms showed that the decrease in the overall coagulant activity of the blood and changes in the most parameters of the coagulation system take place as a result of blood contact with heparin-containing polymers. In the animal body the changes observed were found to be rapidly compensated for. On studying the interaction of immobilized heparin with plasma proteins it was discovered that fibrinogen, thrombin and fibrinolysin are actively bound by immobilized heparin, with the resulting products being active in lysis of non-stabilized fibrin.

[Inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes in the treatment of diabetes mellitus].

A new approach to overcome the degradation of insulin by proteolytic enzymes and its targeting to the blood through the digestive apparatus was developed. The approach is based on the immobilization of insulin into the polymeric hydrogel which is modified by ovomucoid--glycoprotein, inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes. Oral administration of this system to rabbits and rats, (in contrast to the hydrogels modified by proteolytic enzymes inhibitors without polysaccharide part), statistically significantly lowered blood glucose level.

[Stability of immobilized insulin preparation at various pH].

The stability of polyacrylamide hydrogel, modified by ovomucoid with immobilized insulin was studied at different pH of external medium. At 3.8 < pH < 5.5 insulin binds to the gel, due to electrostatic interaction between ovomucoid and insulin molecules.

[Polymeric systems with antithrombin activity for thermally activated targeting].

Copolymers of N,N-diethylacrylamide and N-acryloylphthalimide with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) were synthesized by radical copolymerization. Polymeric systems with antithrombin activity and LCST were prepared via a reaction of amino groups of hirudin with phthalimide groups of the copolymers. On increasing hirudin content, LCST of the polymeric systems increased. The antithrombin activity of polymeric systems obtained by hirudin immobilization on copolymer carriers was inversely related to the content of the copolymer, amounting to 6% of the activity of native hirudin.

[Interaction of ovomucoid from duck egg proteins with aldehydes-dextrans].

The interaction of ovomucoid proteinase inhibitor prepared from duck egg white with a dextran of a molecular weight of 70,000 preliminary treated with potassium periodate. Irrespective of the number of the sites of the ovomucoid binding to aldehyde-dextran the anti-chymotryptic activity is equal to that of the native inhibitor, while the antitryptic activity decreases proportionally to the number of ovomucoid amino groups involved in the reaction with dextran. When a few ovomucoid molecules are immobilized on the polysaccharide macromolecule the perturbing effect of the protein-protein interactions is minimal, as the rigid polymeric chain prevents from the formation of associates of proteins immobilized on this backbone.

[New prospects for a method of biospecific chromatography].

The polyacrylamide hydrogels with covalently immobilized ovomucoid from the duck's egg white were synthesized by radical copolymerization. These hydrogels can defend the immobilized insulin against the action of proteolytic enzymes. Biospecific interaction of the polysaccharide component of ovomucoid with lectins leads to the targeting transport of the hydrogel particles onto the small intestine wall.

[Isolation and purification of phospholipase C from Clostridium perfringens and antibodies against it using polymeric biospecific adsorbents].

A new polymeric biospecific adsorbent intended for isolation of Clostridium perfringens phospholipase C (PLC) and PLC-specific antibodies is discussed. It was obtained by radical copolymerization of acrylamide, methylenbisacrylamide, and the acryl acid chloranhydride-acylated substrate of PLC (chicken yolk lecithovitellin). Maximal adsorption of PLC was observed in the presence of the enzyme activator, and the highest amount of PLC was eluted in case of its minimal adsorption. The "residual" activity of PLC on the adsorbent was used to isolate homologous antibodies from the anti-perfringens serum. PLC and PLC-specific antibodies were serologically pure in the agar precipitation test with the anti-perfringens serum and the primary PLC concentrate, respectively; the antibodies gave only one zone in PAAG-electrophoresis.

[Biospecific sorbent for removal of proteinases from biological fluids].

Sorbents for removal of proteases from biological fluids were synthesized via immobilization of a specific protease inhibitor-ovomucoid from whites of duck eggs--in the bulk of polymeric hydrogel. The sorbents were shown to exhibit high capacity and selectivity in the removal of proteases from the model protein-containing solutions, blood plasma and blood. The sorbents did not affect the blood cells as well as the blood-clotting system. The sorbents were demonstrated to be effective in the removal of proteases from canine blood in acute pancreatitis.
