1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionKidney-type glutaminase (KGA) has been an important anti-tumor drug target, and KGA allosteric inhibitors attracted much interest for their superior enzymatic specificity with good drug safety profiles. For glutaminase allosteric inhibitors such as BPTES, CB-839 and Selen derivatives, the low solubility remains as the main factor that limits in vivo efficacy. The 1,3,4-Selenadiazole compound CPD 23 showed improved in vivo efficacy but worse solubility; however, the graft polymer polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol (PVCap-PVA-PEG), Soluplus

methodsThe CPD 23@SOL micelles were prepared, optimized and evaluated through on the basis of solubility improvement and loading capacity. Characterizations of particle size and Zeta potential by dynamic light scattering, morphology by transmission electron microscopy and solid state by X-ray powder diffraction were closely conducted. The biological studies included the tumor cell growth inhibition, blood and liver microsomal stability, in vivo pharmacokinetics and tissue biodistribution.

resultsAt 1:20 ratio of CPD 23:SOL, CPD 23@SOL micelles were well-dispersed, spherical and stable, with size less than 200 nm with encapsulation efficiency of more than 90%. This SOL micellar system significantly increased the aqueous solubility of CPD 23 by 15,000 folds. Particularly, CPD 23@SOL micelles demonstrated higher stability in blood and liver microsomes, showing approximately 86% remaining at 2 h incubation and about 66% at 4 h, respectively. In addition, with or without micellar formulation, CPD 23 maintained essentially the same inhibitory activity in tumor cells. Interestingly, CPD 23@SOL micelles significantly improved the pharmacokinetic exposure, prolonged the in vivo circulation and dramatically changed tissue biodistributions of CPD 23.

conclusionThe current work provided an encouraging and practical delivery system for novel Selenadiazoles and glutaminase allosteric inhibitors whose poor water-soluble characteristic has been a bottleneck for the field.
