Abstract

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), biosimilar is defined as a product which is highly similar to the reference product without clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity and potency. Indonesia is a developing country which has more than 250 million people. The domestic need of Biosmilar in Indonesia is about 10-20%.  Even though the need is very high, Indonesia still has not been able to produce Biosimilar independently. To stimulate the domestic production on biosimilar, National Agency for Drug and Food Control (NADFC) Republic of Indonesia has assigned Regulation of Biosimilar as Peraturan Kepala Badan Pengawas Obat Dan Makanan Republik Indonesia Nomor 17 Tahun 2015 Tentang Pedoman Penilaian Produk Biosimilar. The guidance covers the quality requirement and evaluation of Biosimilar products. The Ministry of Health of Indonesia has a strategic plan in biopharmaceutical covering biosimilar which is going to develop in 2015-2025. The strategy is expected to initiate biosimilar production in Indonesia. This review focuses on the guidelines, challenges and prospects biosimilars in Indonesia comparing to other international regulatory bodies.Keywords: Biosimilar, Indonesia, Guidelines, Challenges and Prospects

Abstract

The urgency to develop a new protein based subunit vaccine candidate against Brucella was provoked by its frequent infection to human and lives stock. Since Brucella melitensis is found as the most species isolated from human, thus the outer membrane of the Brucella melitensis become prominent subcellular location for searching promising antigen to be developed as vaccine target due to its interaction with cell host. Among other proteins suggested by Vaxign program, the OMP31 is found as a promising candidate. Moreover, analysis on other subcellular location leads our interest to SODc protein, which is expected to support the OMP31 in triggering immune response. The OMP31-SODc divalent vaccine candidate was analysed in-silico to predict its stable three-dimensional structure, cloning process and expectation on the ease during expression, purification and the protein vaccine delivery to develop expected immune response.

Abstract

Recombinant human interferon alpha-2a (rhIFNα-2a) has been widely used for clinical therapy as antiviral, anticancer as well as immunomodulator. In this study, the open reading frame (ORF) encoding synthetic hIFNα-2a was constructed to be in framed with N-terminal alpha factor secretion system in methylotropic yeast Pichia pastoris. This research aimed to construct, express and analyse the non-affinity tagged recombinant human interferon alpha-2a in the methilotropic yeast P. pastoris. We used pPICZαB plasmid for cloning and expression vector. The confirmed recombinant plasmid containing the correct DNA sequence of hIFNα-2a was linearized by SacI restriction enzyme, then transformed into P. pastoris genome using electroporation. We screened two multi-copy recombinants in YPDS plates containing Zeocin™. Buffered complex medium containing 0.5 % methanol (BMMY) was used for protein expression for 48 hours in the culture condition. The recombinant protein was purified by blue sepharose affinity chromatography. Analyses of hIFNα-2a protein by SDS-PAGE and Western blot confirmed that protein band in which was observed around 19.2 kDa, was recombinant hIFNα-2a. The quantification of purified rhIFNα-2a using colorimetric binichoninic assay (BCA) informed that the yield was 44 mg/L culture (OD600= 2-3).

Abstract

Continuous emergence of new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants may influence viral transmission dynamics and alter interactions with the respiratory microbiota, potentially increasing the risks of reinfection. This study investigated cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reinfection in West Java, Indonesia, with the aim of identifying the SARS-CoV-2 variants involved, characterizing their genomic mutations, and profiling the nasal and oropharyngeal microbiota associated with reinfection. Naso-oropharyngeal swab samples were collected from 42 COVID-19 reinfection cases and nine new infection cases. Whole genome sequencing was performed using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION Mk1C and variant analysis was conducted using ARTIC workflow. Nexstrain and PANGOLIN were used to determine the lineages. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using IQ-tree and FigTree. Key mutations were identified by Cov-GLUE. Additionally, 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing was conducted on nine samples from each group to analyze bacterial communities using EPI2ME and MicrobiomeAnalyst. All identified SARS-CoV-2 strains in this study were Delta variant (B.1.617.2), predominantly lineage AY.23 (n=46, 90%), followed by AY.24 (n=3) and AY.109 (n=2). No differences in SARS-CoV-2 lineages were observed between reinfection and new infection cases. Unique hotspot mutations found only in COVID-19 reinfections included NSP3, V220A, S_T676I, ORF7a_V82A, and ORF7a_TI20I. Bacterial community analysis revealed no significant diversity differences (alpha and beta) between the two groups. While the most dominant phylum remained Terrabacteria in both groups, Streptococcus was dominant in COVID-19 reinfections, whereas Prevotella was dominant in new infection cases. Notably, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Fusobacterium periodonticum, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Leptotrichia buccalis had significant increases in reinfection cases. Despite the similarity in SARS-CoV-2 lineages causing both COVID-19 reinfection and new infection cases, the presence of distinct key mutations and bacterial species suggest their potential as biomarkers within this group.

Abstract

In our previous work, we demonstrated that curcumin-derived carbon dots (Cur-CDs) have potential as antivirals for COVID-19. However, the precise mechanism of action remains unclear. This study investigated the potential of Cur-CDs against SARS-CoV-2 by targeting the dimerization of the C-terminal domain of nucleocapsid protein (N-CTD) using chemical crosslinking. Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 N-CTD was expressed, purified, and subjected to chemical crosslinking. The dimerization inhibition ability of Cur-CDs was assessed with ligand concentrations ranging from 0 to 2,000 μg/mL. Successful inhibition —defined as a noticeable reduction in SARS-CoV-2 N-CTD dimer band intensity on SDS-PAGE—was observed when Cur-CDs were present at 8 to 16 times the protein concentration. We hypothesize that Cur-CDs bind to the dimerization residues, preventing non-covalent interactions between monomers and limiting dimer formation. Our findings suggest that Cur-CDs could be a promising antiviral strategy for SARS-CoV-2, especially targeting the dimerization of the nucleocapsid protein. Additionally, this study also highlights the use of chemical crosslinking as a valuable tool for interaction-based drug screening.

Abstract

Cancer, a non-communicable illness, is the leading cause of death worldwide. In 2030, cancer is expected to exceed 21 million cases and 13 million cancer deaths globally. One of the most prevalent and significant types is prostate cancer (PCa). It is commonly associated with adenocarcinoma, which develops from the mucous glands within the organ. This review highlights available detection systems, and therapeutic options in PCa management. One prevention of deadly PCa is early diagnoses, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening or genomic profiling. Further testing like MRI or CT scan may also be needed to detect cancers that have progressed to other body regions. There are several possible treatments for PCa, including watchful cancer waiting, surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy. Based on current studies, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with docetaxel therapy enhanced great results to treat advanced PCa. The latest development, called theranostics, is a single entity that can perform both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. It can detect disease borders, track therapy in real-time, and provide prognostic data. The FDA has already authorized two prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) devices: including Gallium 68 PSMA-11 (Ga 68 PSMA-11) and Pylarify (piflufolastat F 18).
