Phospholipidosis and down-regulation of the PI3-K/PDK-1/Akt signalling pathway are vitamin E inhibitable events associated with 7-ketocholesterol-ind…
2007
International audience; Among the oxysterols accumulating in atherosclerotic plaque, 7-ketocholesterol (7KC) is a potent apoptotic inducer, which favours myelin figure formation and polar lipid accumulation. This investigation performed on U937 cells consisted in characterizing the myelin figure formation process; determining the effects of 7KC on the PI3-K/PDK-1/Akt signalling pathway; evaluating the activities of vitamin E (Vit-E) (α-tocopherol) on the formation of myelin figures and the PI3-K/PDK-1/Akt signalling pathway and assessing the effects of PI3-K inhibitors (LY-294002, 3-methyladenine) on the activity of Vit-E on cell death and polar lipid accumulation. The ultrastructural and b…
Safety of tiotropium/olodaterol in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: pooled analysis of three large, 52-week, randomized clinical trials.
2018
Abstract Background An extensive clinical trial program supports the efficacy and safety of tiotropium/olodaterol in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We examined the safety of tiotropium/olodaterol compared with tiotropium in a large population of patients, focusing on cardiovascular and respiratory events. Methods Patients (n = 9942) who received once-daily tiotropium/olodaterol 5/5 μg or tiotropium 5 μg (via Respimat®) in TONADO 1 & 2 and DYNAGITO were included. The number of patients and exposure-adjusted rate of events are presented for adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), AEs leading to discontinuation, and cardiovascular and respiratory events. Findings Fewer patient…
The effect of tiotropium/olodaterol versus fluticasone propionate/salmeterol on left ventricular filling and lung hyperinflation in patients with COPD
2020
This exploratory, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multicentre, cross-over study explored the effect of 6 weeks of treatment with tiotropium/olodaterol (T/O) versus fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (F/S) on left ventricular filling in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with functional residual capacity (FRC) >120% predicted and postbronchodilator improvement of FRC ≥7.5%. Overall, 76 patients were randomised across nine sites. Treatment with T/O or F/S increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume index from baseline (adjusted mean change: T/O: 2.317 mL/m2, F/S: 2.855 mL/m2), with no statistically significant difference between treatments. However, T/O resulted…
Synthesis of pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-ones and oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinolin-4-ones: New inhibitors of mitochondrial respiratory chain
2013
International audience; Benzo[a]quinolizine is an important heterocyclic framework that can be found in numerous bioactive compounds. The general scheme for the synthesis of these compounds was based on the preparation of the appropriate dihydroisoquinolines by Bischler-Napieralski cyclization with good yields, followed by the Pemberton method to form the oxazinones or pyridones derivatives via acyl-ketene imine cyclocondensation. All the synthesized compounds were assayed in vitro for their ability to inhibit mitochondrial respiratory chain. Most of the tested compounds were able to inhibit the integrated electron transfer chain, measured as NADH oxidation, which includes complexes I, III …
Screening of ecotoxicological, qualitative and reproductive variables in male European sea bassDicentrarchus labrax(L.) reared in three different fis…
2013
The aim of this work was to do a preliminary seasonal screening of ecotoxicological biomarkers in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in three different fish farms, to know if the different location and typology can discriminate them. A set of selected biomarkers of xenobiotic exposure, such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, Glutathione (GSH) and gonad morphology were investigated seasonally in male European sea bass D. labrax (L.) reared in three different intensive farms: a land-based farm of cement tanks (T), an in-shore sea cages farm (C1) and an off-shore sea cages farm (C2). The results showed that both location and typology can discriminate AChE activity, GSH content and go…
An electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric study of the gas-phase stabilities and fragmentation ofN-alky…
2006
Five N-alkylated ammonium resorcarene derivatives, differing either in the nitrogen atom or in the lower rim alkyl chain, were studied using electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The main purpose was to clarify the fragmentation and the relative stabilities of the protonated molecules by collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments. The results indicate that fragmentation of the upper rim alkyl amino substituents at the 2-position occurs readily. Variation in the gas-phase stabilities of these molecules was also observed. In addition, the proposed fragmentation pathways are depicted.
Mass spectrometric studies of benzoxazine resorcarenes
2002
Eleven differently substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine resorcarenes were studied by electrospray ionisation (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) mass spectrometry, using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers, respectively. Under ESI conditions it was possible to transfer the intact resorcarenes from solution to the gas phase, yielding [M + H]+ and [M + 2H]+ ions as the main ions observed. Energy increase of the ions induced ready decomposition through successive eliminations of four CH2NR groups. Ion-molecule reactions showed that the ionising proton was situated somewhere inside the molecule and could …
3D Morphology, ultrastructure and development of Ceratomyxa puntazzi stages: first insights into the mechanisms of motility and budding in the Myxozo…
2012
Free, amoeboid movement of organisms within media as well as substrate-dependent cellular crawling processes of cells and organisms require an actin cytoskeleton. This system is also involved in the cytokinetic processes of all eukaryotic cells. Myxozoan parasites are known for the disease they cause in economical important fishes. Usually, their pathology is related to rapid proliferation in the host. However, the sequences of their development are still poorly understood, especially with regard to pre-sporogonic proliferation mechanisms. The present work employs light microscopy (LM), electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in combination with specific…
Durability of Dolutegravir-Based Regimens: A 5-Year Prospective Observational Study
2021
This study evaluates the frequency and causes of dolutegravir (DTG) discontinuation along 5 years of follow-up, in both antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naive and experienced people living with HIV (PLWH). This is a prospective multi-center cohort study enrolling PLWH on DTG from July 2014 until November 2020. DTG-durability was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. The Cox proportional-hazards model was used for estimating the hazard ratio (HR) of DTG discontinuation for any cause, and for adverse events (AEs). Nine hundred sixty-three PLWH were included, 25.3% were women and 28.0% were ART-naive. Discontinuations for any causes were 10.1 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 8.9-1…
Differential reactivity of fluorinated homopropargylic amino esters vs gold(I) salts. The role of the nitrogen protecting group
2015
The reaction of several homopropargyl amino esters 4, bearing aromatic substituents and a benzyl group as nitrogen substituents, with gold(I) salts gave rise to fluorinated quinolines 6 in a tandem hydroarylation-isomerization process. On the other hand, homopropargyl amino esters 7 containing a carbamate group underwent the carbonyl addition over the triple bond in the presence of gold(I) salts, rendering fluorinated oxazines 8. The use of chiral sulfoxides allowed us to develop the asymmetric version of this protocol. This two processes complete the differential reactivity showed by these types of susbtrates, depending on the nature of the nitrogen protecting group. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.…
