Papaverine decreases the efflux of42K in guinea-pig atrial heart muscle
1980
The effects of papaverine on resting potential and efflux of42K were investigated in guinea-pig left atria. Papaverine significantly reduced the potassium efflux in beating preparations. In resting preparations, the efflux of potassium was only slightly affected. However, the resting potential was significantly reduced by papaverine by about 5 mV.
Prediction and Interpretation of Some Pharmacological Properties of Cephalosporins Using Molecular Connectivity
1991
A method of molecular connectivity was used to study the pharmacological and antimicrobial properties of 34 cephalosporin antibiotics to verify its applicability to these parameters. By using Kier and Hall connectivity indices (Xi) as well as geometric indices (GIs), good correlation equations were obtained with a low number of variables. In some cases, such as the lethal dose for 50% of group (LD50) values and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, better regression equations were obtained with the GIs alone, confirming their alternative nature with respect to Xi, indices.
The essential oil of turpentine and its major volatile fraction (alpha- and beta-pinenes): a review.
2010
This paper provides a summary review of the major biological features concerning the essential oil of turpentine, its origin and use in traditional and modern medicine. More precisely, the safety of this volatile fraction to human health, and the medical, biological and environmental effects of the two major compounds of this fraction (alpha- and beta-pinenes) have been discussed.
An economical hemoperfusion system to determine in vitro clearances of various poisons with different adsorbents.
1980
An economical hemoperfusion system for clearance studies in vitro was developped. It was ascertained, that hemoperfusion using columns which contain 13 g of adsorbent and perfused at a blood flow rate of 1.25 ml/min results in the same relative clearances as when using clinical sized columns containing 300–355 g of the absorbent and run at 100 ml/min. The adsorption kinetics of toxicologically important drugs and pesticides are given as examples. To date 27 substances were tested systematically. The investigation has shown, that no adsorbent is without exception the best one, but the efficacy can vary from substance to substance.
A pharmacological approach to gastric acid inhibition.
2005
Proton pump inhibitors have changed our approach to gastric acid-related diseases. They are much more potent acid inhibitors than H2-antagonists and exhibit a sophisticated mechanism of action. The present review analyses the general pharmacology of proton pump inhibitors and differentiates the specific characteristics of the various compounds that belong to this family. Special emphasis has been placed in describing the clinical implications of such differences and the potential importance for adverse effects.
Phenolic compounds of herbal infusions obtained from some species of the Lamiaceae family
2018
Abstract The present investigation was to estimate the total phenolic content and composition of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acids in herbal infusions obtained from aerial parts of three Lamiaceae species (Dracocephalum moldavica, Ocimum americanum and Satureja hortensis). The total phenolic content of herbal infusions was determined using a spectrophotometric method, whereas the individual phenolics were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC method was developed and validated. The total phenolic content was measured by applying the Folin-Ciocalteu method with reference to gallic acid. Results were in the range from 29.39 to 65.38 mg estimated as gallic acid…
Ver�nderungen elektrophysiologischer Me�gr��en des Meerschweinchenherzens bei akuter Trijodthyroninwirkung
1963
Mit intracellularen Mikroelektroden wurden von Vorhof- und Kammermuskulatur von Meerscheinchenherzen Membran- und Aktionspotentiale abgeleitet. Die akute Wirkung von Trijodthyronin (T3 10−6 und 10−5 g/ml) auf diese elektrophysiologischen Mesgrosen wurde untersucht; auserdem wurden Veranderungen der intracellularen K- und Na-Konzentrationen in vitro und in vivo gemessen.
Structure-activity relationship of histamine H2-receptor agonists
1978
As demonstrated by the results the active C-5(4) substituted histamines and Nα-methyl-histamines are to various extents selective H2-receptor agonists.
Untersuchungen �ber eine akute Wirkung von Trijodthyronin auf Refrakt�rzeit und Leitungsgeschwindigkeit des Meerschweinchenvorhofs
1962
Es wird uber die Untersuchung einer akuten Wirkung von T3 in vitro auf die Refraktarperiode und die Leitungsgeschwindigkeit des Meerschweinchenvorhofs berichtet. T3 verkurzte die Refraktarzeit geringfugig (5,2%). Bei vermindertem K-Gehalt der Badlosung oder nach Vorgabe von ACh oder DNP trat die Verkurzung der Refraktarzeit unter T3 wesentlich deutlicher in Erscheinung, und es konnte Flimmern ausgelost werden, obwohl die Substanzen vor der Gabe von T3 vollstandig ausgespult waren. Adrenalin hatte keinen Einflus auf den T3-Effekt. Die Leitungsgeschwindigkeit wurde durch T3 nicht verandert.
Zur Frage des Vorkommens von Isopropylnoradrenalin in Herz und Nebenniere
1959
1. Extracts of adrenal glands and heart tissue of the cat were prepared and chromatographed on paper. The regions corresponding to the RF values of noradrenaline, adrenaline and isoprenaline (isopropylnoradrenaline) were eluted. The eluates were assayed on the blood pressure, the isolated auricle and the isolated uterus of the rat. Differential assay on these preparations proved to be specific and extremely sensitive for isoprenaline. 2. There was no evidence for the occurrence of isoprenaline in the adrenal medulla or the heart of the cat. The method used is sufficiently sensitive to detect 0,2% of isoprenaline in the total catechol amines of the heart and 0,007% in the adrenals.
