Functional role of cholinoceptors and purinoceptors in human isolated atrial and ventricular heart muscle
1989
1. The effects of cholinergic and purinergic stimulation on action potential, force of contraction and 86Rb efflux were investigated in human atrial and ventricular heart muscle. 2. In atrial heart muscle, carbachol and (-)-N6-(R-phenyl-isopropyl)-adenosine (R-PIA) and 5'-(N-ethyl)-carboxamido-adenosine (NECA) evoked transient decreases of action potential duration and force of contraction; the steady-state effects on force of contraction were virtually identical to control values. In the presence of propranolol, steady-state values after carbachol, R-PIA or NECA amounted to about 50% of control values. 3. In ventricular heart muscle, carbachol, NECA and R-PIA did not significantly affect t…
Suppression of the JNK Pathway by Induction of a Metabolic Stress Response Prevents Vascular Injury and Dysfunction
2008
Background— Oxidative injury and dysfunction of the vascular endothelium are early and causal features of many vascular diseases. Single antioxidant strategies to prevent vascular injury have met with mixed results. Methods and Results— Here, we report that induction of a metabolic stress response with adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) prevents oxidative endothelial cell injury. This response is characterized by stabilization of the mitochondrion and increased mitochondrial biogenesis, resulting in attenuation of oxidative c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. We report that peroxisome proliferator coactivator 1α is a key downstream target of AMPK that is both necessary and suffici…
Phenylamides of 1-Phenyl (or Methyl)-5-benzamidopyrazole-4-carboxylic Acid as Vratizolin Analogs with Analgesic and Antiinflammatory Activities
2001
A number of phenylamides of 5-benzamidopyrazole-4-carboxylic acid were prepared in 50-80 % yields from 1-phenyl (or methyl) 6-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]1,3-oxazin-4(1H)-ones and aniline derivatives. All the compounds were tested for their analgesic and antiinflammatory activities, as well as for their ulcerogenic potential and acute toxicity. Some derivatives, when compared to phenylbutazone, proved more active in the tests for analgesie and antiexudative activities, but less active in the carrageenin paw oedema test. The compounds proved to posses marginal or no ulcerogenic effect, as well as low systemic toxicity.
Pronounced cholinergic but only moderate purinergic effects in isolated atrial and ventricular heart muscle from cats.
1989
1 The effects of cholinergic and purinergic stimulation on action potential, force of contraction and 86Rb efflux were investigated in cat atrial and/or ventricular heart muscle. 2 Acetylcholine and carbachol exerted a concentration-dependent negative inotropic effect in cat atrial heart muscle. Carbachol 10 μmol l−1 completely abolished the force of contraction and increased the rate constant of 86Rb efflux 2–3 fold, whereas the action potential duration was shortened to about 1/10 of its length under control conditions. 3 The effects of acetylcholine and carbachol in cat atrial heart muscle were mimicked, qualitatively, by adenosine and its analogues 5′-(N-ethyl)-carboxamido-adenosine (NE…
17 beta-carboxamide steroids: highly effective inhibitors of the phytohaemagglutinin mediated blastogenesis of normal human peripheral lymphocytes.
1984
Several novel 17 beta-carboxamide analogues of dexamethasone were synthesized. The common precursor, 9-fluoro-16 alpha-methyl-11 beta,17-dihydroxy-3-oxo-1,4-androstadiene-17 beta-carboxylic acid, did not bind to the glucocorticoid receptors of rat liver and human spleen tumours. In addition, no inhibition of the mitogen-induced blastogenesis of cultured human peripheral lymphocytes was observed. The 17 beta-carboxamide analogues, however, bound with similar affinities to the glucocorticoid receptors of both tissues. They inhibited the mitogen-induced blastogenesis of peripheral lymphocytes, showing the same potency and same order of binding affinity as the natural glucocorticoids.
N-(INDAZOLYL)BENZAMIDO DERIVATIVES AS CDK1 INHIBITORS: DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY, AND MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDIES
2009
A series of N-1H-indazole-1-carboxamides has been synthesized and their effects on both CDK1/cyclin B and the K-562 (human chronic myelogenus leukemia) cell line were evaluated. Using a computational model, we have observed that all the most active compounds 9e, f, i-n exhibited the same binding mode of purvanalol A in the ATP-binding cleft. Although they were able to moderately inhibit the leukemic cell line K-562 and to show inhibitory activity against the Cdc2-Cyclin B kinase in the low micromolar range, they turned out to be non-cytotoxic against HuDe (IZSL) primary cell cultures from human derm. These preliminary results are quite encouraging in view of the low toxicity demonstrated by…
Virtual Combinatorial Syntheses and Computational Screening of New Potential Anti-Herpes Compounds
1999
The activity of new anti-HSV-1 chemical structures, designed by virtual combinatorial chemical synthesis and selected by a computational screening, is determined by an in vitro assay. A virtual library of phenol esters and anilides was formed from two databases of building blocks: one with carbonyl fragments and the other containing both substituted phenoxy and phenylamino fragments. The library of virtually assembled compounds was computationally screened, and those compounds which were selected by our mathematical model as active ones were finally synthesized and tested. Our antiviral activity model is a "tandem" of four linear functions of topological graph-theoretical descriptors. A giv…
