Recombinant anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody (Sunshine Guojian)

CM310 is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody targeting Interleukin (IL)-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα). IL-4Rα blockade prevents IL-4 and IL-13 from binding to their receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways that drive Type 2 helper T-cell (Th2) inflammation. CM310 holds potential for treating Th2-related inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis and chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis. In this study, a direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure the concentrations of CM310 in rat serum. Seven calibration standards (ranging from 25 to 1600 ng/mL) and three quality controls (70, 500 and 1250 ng/mL) were defined. The limit of detection (LOD), lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and upper limit of quantification (ULOQ) were 13, 25 and 1600 ng/mL, respectively. The method exhibited excellent precision and accuracy and successfully applied to in vitro serum stability and pharmacokinetic (PK) studies. In conclusion, we have developed and validated a highly sensitive and selective method for measuring CM310 in Sprague-Dawley rats. The development and validation ELISA method met the acceptable criteria, which suggested that these can be applied to quantify CM310, as well as in PK studies.

In the present study, we have designed and synthesized a series of 42 novel sulfonylurea compounds with ortho-alkoxy substitutions at the phenyl ring and evaluated their herbicidal activities. Some target compounds showed excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledon weed species. When applied at 7.5 g ha^-1, 6-11 exhibited more potent herbicidal activity against barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and crab grass (Digitaria sanguinalis) than commercial acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS; EC 2.2.1.6) inhibitors triasulfuron, penoxsulam, and nicosulfuron at both pre-emergence and postemergence conditions. 6-11 was safe for peanut for postemergence application at this ultralow dosage, suggesting that it could be considered a potential herbicide candidate for peanut fields. Although 6-11 and triasulfuron share similar chemical structures and have close K_i values for plant AHAS, a significant difference has been observed between their LUMO maps from DFT calculations, which might be a possible factor that leads to their different behaviors toward monocotyledon weed species.
