A bis-exTTF macrocyclic receptor that associates C60 with micromolar affinity

2010

An exTTF-based macrocyclic receptor that associates C(60) with a binding constant10(6) M(-1) in chlorobenzene at room temperature is described. This represents an improvement of 3 orders of magnitude with respect to the previous examples of exTTF-based receptors and one of the highest binding constants toward C(60) reported to date.

Fluoride Ion Receptors: A Comparison of a Polyammonium Monocycle Versus its Bicyclic Corollary

2001

Two polyammonium macrocyclic receptors, the monocyclic 3,6,9,17,20,23-hexaazatricyclo [23.3.1.111,15]triaconta-1(29), 11,13,15(30),25,27-hexaene (L1) and its bicyclic analog 1,4,12,15,18,26,31,39-o...

SY26-4REVIEWING THE NEUROBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SALSOLINOL: ROLE OF THE MU OPIOID RECEPTORS

2015

During the last decades Salsolinol (SAL), a condensation product from dopamine (DA) and acetaldehyde that appears in the brain of humans and rodents as a consequence of brain metabolism of ethanol, has been proposed as a key component in the development of alcohol use disorders. Although evidence has been published …

ChemInform Abstract: Fluorescent Chemosensors Containing Polyamine Receptors

2000

Chemosensors have attracted interest in many different scientific fields, such as environmental chemistry, medicine, and the processing and storage of information. These molecular-scale devices have the advantage of working on the same spatial scale as the chemical structures that are responsible for macroscopic behaviour observed in the environment or those associated with health problems. Moreover, they allow the construction of molecular-scale devices for information storage. In this review, we describe a family of chemosensors based on a polyamine receptor and a fluorescent signalling unit. Polyamine receptors are water-soluble ambidentate receptors; they are able to coordinate either m…

H2-Antihistaminics, XXV: Synthesis and H2-Antagonistic Activity of Monosubstituted 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3,5-diamines The N3-or N5-substituted 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3,5-diamines 4a-e and 5a-e were prepared and tested for histamine H2-antagonistic activity.

Acetylcholine At Motor Nerves: Storage, Release, and Presynaptic Modulati On By Autoreceptors and Adrenoceptors

1992

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the modulation of acetylcholine release from the motor endplate by presynaptic receptors. An individual neuron can regulate its function, the release of transmitters or modulators, through the activation of local feedback loops. After escaping the neuronal membrane and entering the synaptic cleft (or extracellular space), the transmitter activates both the receptors localized at the endorgan (postsynaptic receptors) and the receptors localized at the nerve terminal within its diffusion radius (so-called presynaptic or neuronal receptors). Stimulation of presynaptic receptors triggers the generation of intracellular signals that modify ion channels o…

Oligopeptide der β-Carbolin-3-carbonsäure - Synthese und Affinität zu Benzodiazepinrezeptoren

1987

Es wurden Oligopeptide der β-Carbolin-3-carbonsaure dargestellt und deren Affinitat zum Benzodiazepinrezeptor in Mausehirn-Membranen bestimmt. Uber Struktur-Affinitatsbeziehungen wird berichtet. Oligopeptides of β-Carboline-3-carboxylic Acid - Synthesis and Benzodiazepine Receptor Affinity Oligopeptides of β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid were prepared and tested with respect to their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor in mouse brain membranes. Structure-affinity relationships are reported.

Phorbol Esters and Muscarinic Receptor Agonists Activate Phospholipase D in Heart and Brain

1991

Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine and thereby seems to play a key role in a novel pathway of signal transduction. PLD activity in rat hippocampal slices and atria of rat, guinea pig and chicken hearts was determined by measuring the catalytic products choline (Ch), phosphatidic acid (PA) and, in the presence of a primary alcohol, phosphatidylpropanol or phosphatidylethanol. It was found that the PLD activity was high, even under resting conditions, in both tissues, especially in the hippocampus, and that the enzyme activity could be enhanced by activation of protein kinase C and by muscarinic receptor stimulation.
