Chromo-Fluorogenic Detection of Nerve-Agent Mimics Using Triggered Cyclization Reactions in Push-Pull Dyes
2010
A family of azo and stilbene derivatives (1-9) are synthesized, and their chromo-fluorogenic behavior in the presence of nerve-agent simulants, diethylchlorophosphate (DCP), diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), and diethylcyanophosphate (DCNP) in acetonitrile and mixed solution of water/acetonitrile (3:1 v/v) buffered at pH 5.6 with MES, is investigated. The prepared compounds contain 2-(2-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)ethanol or 2-[(2-N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy]ethanol reactive groups, which are part of the conjugated pi-system of the dyes and are able to give acylation reactions with phosphonate substrates followed by a rapid intramolecular N-alkylation. The nerve-agent mimic-triggered cyclization …
Inhibition by oxotremorine of acetylcholine resting release from guinea pig-ileum longitudinal muscle strips
1975
1. Longitudinal muscle strips of the guinea-pig ileum were incubated in Tyrode solution containing either DFP or physostigmine as cholinesterase inhibior. After a 90 min preincubation period the acetylcholine resting release into the medium was determined. Acetylcholine was estimated by gas chromatography. 2. The resting release was 0.39 nmol/g×min irrespective of the cholinesterase inhibitor used. In the presence of hexamethonium, or after omission of external calcium, the resting release fell by 50 and 55%, respectively. 3. Oxotremorine (10−5 and 10−4 M) significantly inhibited the resting release of acetylcholine by 25 and 33%, respectively. The inhibitory effect of oxotremorine was comp…
Importance of Factors H and I for the Adherence of C3b-Coated Erythrocytes to Cells
1983
Abstract The role of cell membrane-associated human factor H for the binding of cell-bound Cab to complement receptor-carrying (CR + ) cells was investigated. Pretreatment of CR + cells with antibodies to factor H inhibited the adherence of Cab-coated red cells to human tonsil lymphocytes (TL) and peripheral blood monocytes (Mo). The Cab receptor reactivity of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) was not influenced and the one of Raji lymphoblastoid cells only slightly influenced; iC3b and Cad receptor reactivity was in no case affected. When diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) in a concentration of 0.1 mM was present during pretreatment of the CR + cells with anti H, the antibodies gained…
Conditions for the Enhancing Effect of Protease Inhibitors on the Concanavalin A Induced Thymidine Response of Murine Lymphocytes
1983
Incorporation of [<sup>3</sup>H]-thymidine – [<sup>3</sup>H]-TdR – into concanavalin A (Con A) stimulated murine splenocytes and thymocytes was found to be enhanced by addition of certain concentrations of phenyl-methyl-sulfonylfluoride (PMSF), di-isopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), N-α-tosyl-<i>L</i>-lysyl-<i>L</i>-chloromethylketone (TLCK), and soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI). No enhancement could be observed when mononuclear cells of the peripheral blood were used, and a medium enhancement when thymocytes were applied. Furthermore, no enhancing effect of the protease inhibitors (PI) on the Con A response of murine splenocytes could be observed…
The effect of tacrine on acetylcholine overflow in the heart
1990
Tacrine, 10(-6) M, enhanced the acetylcholine (ACh) overflow evoked in perfused chicken hearts by field stimulation (5 Hz, 1 min) from 183 to 346 pmol g-1 min-1. Increase to the same level were observed after pretreatment with diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) as well as after DFP plus 10(-6) M tacrine. Tacrine, 10(-5) M, caused further enhancement with or without DFP up to 851 pmol g-1 min-1. It was concluded that 10(-6) M tacrine enhanced the ACh overflow by choline esterase inhibition, whereas 10(-5) M tacrine caused, in addition, an increase of neuronal ACh release.
