New Insights into the Stoichiometric and Catalytic Reactivity of Unsaturated Pd 3 (dppm) 3 CO n + Clusters ( n = 0, 1) Towards Halocarbons – First Ev…
2005
The title clusters, Pd 3 (dppm) 3 (CO) + and Pd 3 (dppm) 3 (CO) 0 can be electrochemically generated from the 1- and 2-electron reductions, respectively, of the Pd 3 (dppm) 3 (CO) 2 + cluster [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane; Pd 3 2 + ]. Pd 3 + reacts in a stoichiometric ratio with methyl iodide, MeI, and benzyl bromide, BzBr, in THF to provide the corresponding Pd 3 (X) + adducts (X = I, Br respectively) as inorganic products. Other products are Bz 2 and PhMe for BzBr but, for MeI, no organic product was observed (since they are too volatile). In the presence of the same substrates, Pd 3 0 also reacts in a stoichiometric ratio to form the same organics and the Pd 3 -(X) + adducts (X …
Liquid phase selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol over Pd–Ag catalysts supported on pumice
2001
Abstract Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde was carried out over pumice supported bimetallic and monometallic Pd and Ag catalysts. Preliminary kinetic studies were performed at 333 K in autoclave, at pressure of 2 atm in pure oxygen. Under these conditions, small amounts of benzoic acid were detected with the monometallic Pd pumice being the most active catalyst. The reaction was also carried out under flowing oxygen at atmospheric pressure and at 348 K. Under these conditions, the selectivity to benzaldehyde was 100%. The catalytic activity of the catalysts was measured after different oxidation and reduction treatments at high temperature. In addition, two mechanical mi…

Hepatobiliary phase in cirrhotic patients with different Model for End-stage Liver Disease score: comparison of the performance of gadoxetic acid to …
2018
The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of gadobenate dimeglumine–enhanced MRI and gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI in the hepatobiliary phase (HBP) in cirrhotic patients with different degrees of liver dysfunction. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we analyzed the unenhanced phase and the HBP of 131 gadobenate dimeglumine–enhanced MRI examinations (gadobenate dimeglumine group) and 127 gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI examinations (gadoxetic acid group) performed in 249 cirrhotic patients (181 men and 68 women; mean age, 64.8 years) from August 2011 to April 2017. For each MRI, the contrast enhancement index of the liver parenchyma was calculated and correlated to the Mod…
[11C]-DASB microPET imaging in the aged rat: Frontal and meso-thalamic increases in serotonin transporter binding
2011
Whereas molecular imaging studies in the aging human brain have predominantly demonstrated reductions in serotonin transporter (5-HTT) availability, the majority of the rodent studies, using autoradiographic methods, report increases in neural 5-HTT levels with age. To our knowledge, however, no previous rodent studies have assessed this topic in vivo, and therefore it remains unclear whether this discrepancy arises from methodological or inter-species differences. We performed an [(11)C]-DASB microPET study to evaluate the effects of aging on 5-HTT availability in the rat brain. To generate binding potential estimates, quantitative tracer kinetic modeling was applied using the simplified r…
iNOS-derived nitric oxide mediates the increase in TFF2 expression associated with gastric damage: role of HIF-1.
2009
Trefoil (TFF) peptides are involved in gastrointestinal mucosal restitution. An hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)-dependent induction of TFF genes has been reported in gastric epithelial cells. Nitric oxide (NO) is associated with mucosal damage and modulates HIF-1 activity. The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of iNOS-derived NO in HIF-1alpha stabilization and TFF gene expression in damaged gastric mucosa. Aspirin caused gastric injury that peaked 6 h after dosing and returned to normality at 24 h. iNOS mRNA expression occurs in the corpus in parallel with damage. Blockade of iNOS activity did not modify gastric lesions induced by aspirin but delayed mucosal healing. Aspir…
Inhibition of iNOS activity by 1400W decreases glutamate release and ameliorates stroke outcome after experimental ischemia
2005
Background and purpose. It has been shown that the reversed operation of glutamate transporters when ATP levels fall accounts for most glutamate release induced by severe cerebral ischemia. Nitric oxide (NO) is formed after ischemia and causes ATP depletion. Our purpose is to test if NO release from inducible NO synthase (iNOS) after stroke may cause a delayed glutamate release due to ATP depletion that might underlie progression of the ischemic infarct. We have studied the effect of the highly selective inhibitor of iNOS activity 1400W on brain ATP levels, extracellular glutamate, and stroke outcome after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods. To induce focal ischemia, the mid…
Synthesis and evaluation in rats of the dopamine D2/3 receptor agonist 18F-AMC20 as a potential radioligand for PET
2015
Dopamine D2/3 receptor (D2/3R) agonist PET tracers are better suited for the imaging of synaptic dopaminergic neurotransmission than D2/3R antagonists and may also offer the opportunity to study in vivo the high-affinity state of D2/3R (D2/3RHigh). With the aim to develop 18F-labeled D2/3R agonists suitable for widespread clinical application, we report here on the synthesis and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of a D2/3R agonist ligand from the aminomethyl chromane (AMC) class-(R)-2-[(4- 18Fluorobenzylamino)methyl]chroman-7-ol (18F-AMC20). Methods: In vitro affinities of AMC20 toward dopaminergic receptor subtypes were measured in membrane homogenates prepared from HEK293 cells expressing h…
The Anticonvulsant FCE 26743 is a Selective and Short-acting MAO-B Inhibitor Devoid of Inducing Properties towards Cytochrome P450-dependent Testoste…
1994
Abstract The effects of the potent anticonvulsant FCE 26743 ((S)-2-(4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)benzylamino)propionamide) on monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity were measured in-vitro and ex-vivo using rat tissue homogenates. In-vitro, FCE 26743 showed potent and selective inhibitory properties towards liver MAO-B, with IC50 values about 10−7 m for MAO-B and higher than 10−5 m for MAO-A. When determined ex-vivo in brain, the ED50 value for the inhibition of MAO-B was 1·1 mg kg−1 (p.o.) 1 h post-dosing, whereas MAO-A remained virtually unaffected after administration of 60 mg kg−1. Similar effects were seen in liver. Following oral administration of 5 mg kg−1 FCE 26743 to rats, brain MAO-B inhibitio…
Studies on the reliability of a bihyperbolic functional absorption model. II. Phenylalkylamines
1987
Evidence is given that demonstrates the reliability of the bihyperbolic equation, proposed by Pla-Delfina and Moreno, in fitting the correlation between absorption rate constants (ka) found in the small intestine and in the colon of the living anesthetized rat, and partition constants (1/R.F−1), for a series of phenylalkylamines, a group of compounds which differ largely from others which have been tested. Emphasis is laid on the nonexistence of an optimum of lipophilicity for intestinal absorption/partition correlation: This feature makes inapplicable the probabilistic approaches to the reported data.
