Pinellia ternata agglutinin (PTA) is highly homologous to many other monocot mannose-binding lectins which reportedly possess antitumor activities. Its production in silkworm cells has great application potential because the baculovirus expression system can produce post-translationally modified proteins at low cost. In the current study, the pta gene was cloned and expressed in silkworm cells, and the expressed protein was analyzed using a hemagglutination assay. A preliminary in vitro study on its anti-proliferative activity was performed. The results show that the recombinant PTA with an apparent molecular mass of 29 kDa can hemagglutinate rabbit erythrocytes and this activity can be inhibited by D-mannan at a low concentration. In addition, the recombinant hemagglutinin exhibited a dose-dependent anti-proliferative activity on hepatoma cells. The results of the current study suggest that PTA and other important bioactive proteins could be produced by silkworm bioreactor for biomedicine research and application.

Stability studies of the formulations of CAR solid dispersions were analyzed at 300C/65%RH for a period of three months. A simple reverse phase HPLC was developed and validated for the quantification of CAR solid dispersions. Chromatographic separation was achieved on Waters Atlantis dC18 (4.6 X 150mm) column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.033M phosphate buffer and methanol (35:65). The mobile phase was filtered using an organic filter paper and sonicated for about 20 min. The flow rate was 1ml/min and 242nm wavelength was used for detection. Force degradation studies were conducted under three conditions namely; acidic, basic and hydroxide peroxide conditions. With the HPLC linearity concentration was in the range of 5-80μg/ml with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9995. There was no interference with drug carriers. The suggested reverse phase HPLC methodology is simple, selective, linear and robust in quantifying the amount of CAR in the various solid dispersion samples. In hydrogen peroxide a degraded product was found on the chromatogram unlike that of the acidic and basic conditions. Degradation occurred more strongly in the acidic condition than in the basic condition. The binary systems were less stable than the ternary system solid dispersions due to the presence of HP-β-CD.
