NMR Facility in the Pharmacuetical Sciences Building

By Ariane Jansma, Handel Laboratory

If you haven’t been down to the PSB basement recently, there have been lots of changes in the past few months.The Skagg’s School of Pharmacy is very excited to welcome two new 600 MHz NMR systems to the school. Equippedwith state-of-the-art probes and consoles, this facility is set up to answer structure questions on compoundsranging from small molecules to natural products to multi-domain proteins.

So how are we able to use these NMR spectrometers to answer structure questions? The basic principle of NMRinvolves the idea that certain nuclei are spinning charged particles and when placed in a magnetic field, will alignwith that field (figure 1A). If we represent these nuclei as a vector, we can see that applying a pulse of energy willtip them out of alignment and the manner by which they precess back to equilibrium is based on their molecularenvironment (figure 1B). We can use this information to determine regiochemistry, stereochemistry, through-spaceproximity, and ultimately molecular structure.

Figure 1: Basic principles of NMR

One application of NMR to multi-domain proteins is to use through-space correlations (NOEs) to determine both thetertiary and quaternary structure. For example, we can look specifically at a dimer interface by using “labeling”strategies in combination with filtered NMR experiments. Often when using NMR to study proteins, it is necessaryto label them with magnetically active nuclei (13C and 15N) in order to achieve sufficient sensitivity. If we make asample of 1:1 13C and 15N protein, we can use filtered experiments that allow us to measure correlations specificallybetween protons connected to 13C and protons connected to 15N (Figure 2). This “HCNH-NOE” can ultimately allow usto map a protein dimer interface.

This is just one of many examples of how we can use NMR to examine molecular structure. In the Handel lab, we arefocused on structure and function of proteins, specifically chemokines and their receptors. However, there are alsosome very exciting NMR projects going on with our natural products groups and future newsletters will feature theirresearch.

Meanwhile, come and visit us at the NMR facility in the PSB basement and have a look at these cutting edge andexciting spectrometers.

BioBridge is a collaboration of university scientists, public schooleducators, museums, and local industry focused on linking the scientificand educational communities by bringing research discoveries directly intohigh school classrooms through co-developed teacher-researcher labactivities.

BioBridge was originated by Dr.Jeremy Babendure in RogerTsien’s lab to develop integratedscience activities based on therainbow fluorescent proteinprobes. BioBridge partners

realized that for activities to successfully reach K-12 students, a varietyof issues required address: 1) teacher training – BioBridge hasdeveloped a multi-tiered training approach to facilitate science teacherunderstanding of content background, laboratory procedures andpedagogical strategies; 2) institutional support – many UCSD programsare partnering to engage undergraduate and graduate students duringactivity implementation. In addition, high school Student Leaders arebeing trained to assist their teachers with actual lab implementations;3) cost - BioBridge and Sweetwater’s Castle Park High School haveworked to reduce lab material costs by pioneering a biotechnologycourse in which students produce BioBridge kits as a component of theirhigh school science class for distribution across the entire district,thus, greatly reducing the cost of production and increasing projectsustainability.

How can you get involved?

Curriculum Development: BioBridge and the SkaggsSchool of Pharmacy have teamed to create an electivecourse where students will develop science activities basedon their own research or on-going research in theirlaboratory. Students will collaborate with local teachers todevelop background information and protocols for use inhigh school classrooms.

Teacher Professional Development: Student Pharmacistscan assist in organizing two or three 2-day ProfessionalDevelopment Workshops for high school teachers andparticipate as a teaching assistant to teachers on the dayworkshops are introduced. Organizing such sessions willinclude preparing (or overseeing undergraduates in thepreparation of) workshop laboratory materials includingquality control, training undergraduate students in labtechniques, protocols and background to both assistteachers and mentor high school Student Leaders.

High School Classroom: Teachers who complete thetwo-day workshop next implement the lab activities intheir mainstream classrooms. The first time a newactivity is introduced in the classroom, studentpharmacists can work at the high school to help set upthe laboratory, assist in the activities, and ultimatelyimpact the lives of students in the schools.

Society for Science Student Leaders – BioBridge hasrecently established a Society for Science StudentLeaders (SSSL) with the intention of linking thescientific and educational communities. This societywill give high school students opportunities to interactwith members of the San Diego science community atexciting venues. For example, the SSSL’s first eventwas held at BODIES: THE EXHIBITION when 150Sweetwater District high school students, 15 teachers,50 UCSD undergraduates, 15 graduate students, and 20science professionals were brought together for “TheAmazing Human Race.” Teams composed of 5 highschool students and 1 undergraduate mentor competedin a series of challenges supervised by scienceprofessionals from around the community (e.g., UCSDprofessors, postdocs, graduate students, clinicians,private industry researchers). Several students fromthe School of Pharmacy participated in this event asteam leaders and presenters (see photos).

BE CREATIVE! –If you have other ideas concerning howyou would like to reach out to our community, we wouldbe very interested and pleased to meet to make yourideas work!

If you would like more information about how to getinvolved please contact us.

Project Prevention

Live Well San Diego Community Health FairAPhA’s Project Diabetes, Immunization, Hypertension, and Heartburn Awarenessprovide free health screenings to seniors in San Diego

On Saturday, May 12th, 2007, student pharmacists fromUCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and PharmaceuticalSciences participated in a health screening event heldat North Clairemont Senior Center. Under thesupervision of Dr. Renu Singh and Dr. Sarah Lorentz,students educated the senior population about theimportance of proper vaccination, diabetes prevention,and screened patients for hypertension and heartburn.Most of the screened patients had blood pressurevalues in the pre-hypertensive range. Six patients hadblood pressure values corresponding to stage onehypertension and one patient had values in stage twohypertension range (184/90). All the patients who werescreened were given diet and exerciserecommendations, and/or advised to see theirphysician based on their reading.

Patients were also educated on the health risksassociated with high blood pressure.Patients concerned with heartburn completed aquestionnaire about their symptoms and the frequencyof occurrence. Their information was reviewed by astudent pharmacist and patients were counseled onappropriate lifestyle and diet interventions.

Where necessary, a non-prescription medication for thetreatment of heartburn symptoms was recommended.

Both operation immunization and operation diabetesprovided informational poster booths. Patients wereprovided with detailed information on vaccination and

diabetes prevention in the form of brochures andstudent pharmacists were available to respond tospecific questions.

An interesting case involved an elderly woman whopresented to the pharmacy students with a smallbruise on her right hand. She was wondering if thebruise was caused by her antihyperlipidemicmedication that she was prescribed recently. Uponfurther inquiry, it was found that she was taking alow dose aspirin tablet every week. After discussingthe case with the supervising pharmacists, studentsconcluded that bruising was not a common side effectof antihyperlipidemic medications. The bruise wasmost probably due to her aspirin medication or aminor injury to her hand. The patient was advised tofollow up with her physician if the bruise did notimprove over the next week.

All the students enjoyed participating in this event.Health screenings like this one provide students witha good opportunity to practice their patientcounseling skills and put their knowledge intopractice.

Many thanks to all the student pharmacists andfaculty preceptors who participated in this event:Helen Le, Tuan Nguyen, Kevin Mee, Rachel Sperling,Denise Kwong, Steven Chen, Megan Chynoweth,Karen Chen, Anh-Thu Ha, Vy Tran, Yen Nguyen,Stanton Chu, Lina Meng, and Shida Hashemi, RobertMancini, Dr. Sarah Lorentz, and Dr. Renu Singh.

Student pharmacists from the class of 2009 held a multi-screening event focusing on cardiovascular health riskfor patients at St. Vincent de Paul Village in downtownSan Diego on July 26th, 2007. St. Vincent de Paul is anon-profit organization that provides multiple servicesthroughout San Diego, including meals, healthcare, andteaching occupational skills to people with need. Thescreening event took place at the Paul Mirabile Centerwhich houses the dental and medical clinics at St.Vincent de Paul and has approximately 30,000 patientvisits a year.

Student pharmacists were trained to use a point-of-care(POC) fingerstick lipid screening device (Cardiochek PA)during a specialized lecture and workshop session heldwithin the Spring Therapeutics course. The workshopincluded device training as well as patient cases

requiring lipid lab data interpretation and appropriatepatient counseling. The screening and training of thesecond year class was conducted by a small team of 2ndyear students (mentored by Dr. Renu Singh) and fundedby a grant from the Academic Geriatric Resource Center(AGRC) and support from the SSPPS and Safeway/Vons.

Patients who attended the St. Vincent de Paul screeningevent initially completed a pre-screening survey todetermine their cardiovascular risk factors. Studentpharmacists then obtained each patient’s blood pressure,height/weight/waist circumference measurement, andcalculated a body mass index (BMI). With thisinformation recorded on their patient action plan andhealth record, patients proceeded to receive a fastingfingerstick lipid panel (HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and TotalCholesterol), or non-fasting panel (Total Cholesterol and

HDL), and a fingerstick blood glucose. Based on eachindividual’s health screening results and otherinformation obtained, student pharmacists providedlifestyle counseling of modifiable cardiovascular riskfactors as well as recommendations to see theirphysician, where appropriate. At the end of thecounseling session, patients were provided with theirlab values and specific recommendations and wereadvised to bring this to their next physician visit.

The event was held over a four hour period in themorning, and within that time, over 30 patients werescreened, with 14/30 (47%) having a total cholesterolover 200 mg/dl. One patient had a blood pressurecategorized as stage II hypertension and was referredimmediately to the medical clinic downstairs. Patientswere very appreciative of the screening event and theadvice provided by the students. In addition to myself,student volunteers included Lina Meng, Jim Connor, NeilPatel and Jennifer Lai. Drs. Renu Singh and SarahLorentz were our pharmacist faculty preceptors for theevent. Lyla Prince, RN, the nurse overseeing this eventat St. Vincent de Paul, commended the students andfaculty for a well organized and valuable service to thepatients.

Monday, October 22, 2007 marked the beginning of afour day medical relief effort at Qualcomm stadium tosave lives, redefine teamwork, and discover heroes.Firestorm 2007 required the mobilization of volunteersto provide food, shelter, and medical care to thousandsof evacuees from threatened areas inside andsurrounding San Diego County. Requests for qualifiedvolunteers were broadcast via news, radio, internet,phone, and word of mouth, and it was because of theoverwhelming response from proactive, competent, andefficient healthcare professionals that medicaloperations at Qualcomm were established and runefficiently during this time of crisis.

I responded to the Qualcomm effort after receiving anemail soliciting pharmacy services from the San DiegoPharmacy Emergency Response Team (RxERT). Icontacted Dr. James Dunford, M.D. who wascoordinating triage operations at the stadium, statedmy qualifications as a 4th year student pharmacist atUCSD, and was told to report to Gate A as soon as

possible being they had no pharmacy presence and werein need of assistance. The first day at the stadium wasfrenzied as professionals representing pharmacy,nursing, family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry,respiratory therapy, ophthalmology, and emergencymedicine gathered together to establish a workflow,identify and prioritize immediate patient needs, andformulate a plan for the critical days to follow. TheQualcomm command center was established in one ofthe box offices on the Plaza level, simulated skillednursing facilities were established on the Club level, andpharmacy set up behind the bar in “Room 5,” which

became the acute care and triage center at thestadium for those patients with urgent medical needs.

At 1am on Tuesday morning, a team meeting was heldin the command center to review what had beenaccomplished during Day 1, assess the needs for Day2, and allocate responsibilities to accomplish thegrand task of running a satellite hospital and long-term care facility from a football stadium. In thehours following the leaders meeting, I worked with Dr.S. John Johnson, Pharm.D., the Qualcomm pharmacistin charge from Sharp Memorial Hospital to outline ourplan as the stadium pharmacy, and then proceeded toget thirty minutes of sleep on a cot behind the bar(i.e. pharmacy counter) with our limited narcoticsupply “secured” at the bottom of my sleeping bag.

Tuesday, Day 2 presented with new challenges as theSanta Ana winds flared, the fires spread, and thenumber of evacuees increased. The day dawned with amass influx of patients from skilled nursing facilitiesaround the county, most lacking medication histories,medical charts, or medications. While some patientshad sound knowledge of their medical conditions andtherapy requisites, many more were unable to eithercomprehend or communicate their needs. In responseto this critical information deficit, it was necessary torecruit qualified volunteers to approach each patientindependently and elicit a medical history andmedication reconciliation from the patient and theircaregiver where appropriate.

By the end of Day 2, all 500+ patients had beenconsulted and medical charts made, information was

being electronically compiled, medications weredistributed, and it was evident that the medical reliefeffort was becoming a well-oiled machine. With theestablishment of quality patient care, energy andresources were then allocated to those 7500+ civilianevacuees in need of over-the-counter (OTC) therapiesto treat headaches, constipation, diarrhea, etc. Thesedrugs were available in the triage pharmacy inabundance, but a better system was needed to providethese resources to those outside the acute care areas.In response to this need, a satellite “drug store” wasset up on the ground level at Gate A and OTC drugs andbasic needs items (i.e. hand gel, bandaids, etc) wereprovided to those who requested them, and the med-station was advertised on the radio and stadiumintercom.

Day 3 began with the recall of several mandatoryevacuation notices for areas in San Diego County andthe implementation of new evacuation orders. Day 3operations therefore included the maintenance ofpatient care, and continued replenishment of medicaland drug supplies, while also identifying those patientswho could return home, and of those, which individualshad a home to return to. This became a priority overboth Day 3 and Day 4 as we began deconstructinghospital operations at Qualcomm. The need forpsychiatric support increased as patients and civilianevacuees learned of the loss of their homes, pets,livestock, and businesses, and treatment of thesubjective became an equal priority to that of theobjective in triage.

By the end of Day 3, most long-term care patients hadeither returned to their skilled nursing facilities orhomes, or had been transported to other relief sitesincluding the Del Mar Fairgrounds which was our

primary diversion site. Official deconstruction ofmedical operations at the stadium began the morning ofDay 4. All remaining patients were relocated and thiswas accomplished in cooperation with FEMA (FederalEmergency Management Agency), and the state cache ofsupplies was packed up and transported with the help ofthe National Guard and Police Department to Del Mar. Allother medical supplies were returned to those who haddonated them and the excess donated to the AmericanRed Cross, and the residual pharmaceuticals weredonated to other relief satellite care areas including TheRock Church in Point Loma and Poway CommunityCenter, and the San Diego Free Clinics.

Medical operations at Qualcomm were affectionatelyreferred to by healthcare volunteers as “The Real World,Qualcomm” because it was a real-world example thatdefined “what happens when people stop beingpolite...and start getting real” as the MTV show’scatchphrase states. It is because of remarkableleadership, a commendable cooperative spirit, andincredible anticipation of needs that the Qualcommmedical disaster relief effort was truly a success andone that should be noted. While there is always roomfor improvement and further debriefings will occur todocument what was done and what could have beendone better, I can say that I am proud to have been apart of this process and can state without a doubt thatwe providedquality care toeach andevery personplaced in ourcare.

Thank you tothose of youwho offeredyour time andservices. Weall havesomething tobe proud of,and I feelprivileged tobe part ofsuch agenerous andproficientcommunity ofhealthcareprofessionals. To a job well done.

counseling patients on the proper use of their medicationand help ensure that each patient was adhering to theproper dosing regimens. Student pharmacists also workedwith their pharmacist to check the patients’ medicationsfor drug duplications, harmful drug interactions, andanswered medication-related questions.

Most patients were taking multiple medications includingmany herbal supplements. One 66 year old lady had achronic, productive cough for many months which wasbeing treated with two OTC medications. The pharmacist

noted that the cough may have been due to one of herantihypertensive medications and suggested that shediscuss this with her physician. Another 72 year old ladywas taking multiple prescription medications, all of whichhad complex dosing regimens. To ensure that hermedication was taken properly, the pharmacist andpharmacy student helped her organize her medicationsinto a weekly medication tray. The tray clearly specifiedwhich pills she was to take in the mornings, at lunch, atdinner and at bedtime.

Meet the Pharmacist is an annual event for seniorssponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association San Diego/Imperial chapter and San Diego County’s Aging andIndependent Services. In addition to the medicationreviews the event also included blood pressure screeningsand other health resource information sessions forparticipants. Delta Phi Brothers Patrick Chung (P3),Jennifer Curello (P2), Lannie Duong (P3) and StephanieWebb (P2) were among the students participating in thisevent.

UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and PharmaceuticalSciences is definitely making a name for itself in thepharmacy community. In addition to volunteering in therecent fire relief efforts and in several local communityoutreach projects, our students were involved in someexciting events at the California Society of HealthSystem Pharmacists (CSHP) Annual Seminar Meetingheld in Palm Springs on October 19-21. As the FacultyStudent Liaison for CSHP and the UCSD SSPPS localstudent chapter, I have outlined our student’saccomplishments and activities below:

UCSD SSPPS placed FIRST in the CSHP Pharmacy QuizBowl

All seven California schools participated in this annualevent. First through fourth year SSPPS studentpharmacists participated in this competition.Throughout the 90 minute competition, UCSD waseither tied for first or in first place, and theenthusiasm and cheering was likened to an athleticcompetition!

This accomplishment, while fun and exciting for thestudents, is quite significant. We have only had 4thyear students with sufficient clinical knowledge toadequately compete in the quiz bowl for the last threeyears. And in those three years, we’ve won 1/3 of thetime. Way to go SSPPS! Look for the trophy in theDean’s Office.
