HorTILLUS—A Rich and Renewable Source of Induced Mutations for Forward/Reverse Genetics and Pre-breeding Programs in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
2018
TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) is a strategy used for functional analysis of genes that combines the classical mutagenesis and a rapid, high-throughput identification of mutations within a gene of interest. TILLING has been initially developed as a discovery platform for functional genomics, but soon it has become a valuable tool in development of desired alleles for crop breeding, alternative to transgenic approach. Here we present the HorTILLUS ( Hordeum-TILLING-University of Silesia) population created for spring barley cultivar "Sebastian" after double-treatment of seeds with two chemical mutagens: sodium azide (NaN3) and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). The populatio…
Novel functionalized cispentacin derivatives. Synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole-substituted 2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylate stereoisomers
2008
Four 1,2,3-triazole-substituted ethyl 2-amino-3-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylate diastereomers (3,4-disubstituted cispentacins) with a cyclopentane skeleton were prepared in enantiomerically pure form from racemic β-lactam 7 via enzymatic ring opening, epoxidation and selective ring opening of the oxirane ring with sodium azide. The formation of the 1,2,3-triazole ring system involved click chemistry: 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the corresponding 4-substituted azidocarboxylates with diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate.

Diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of orthogonally protected 2,4-diaminocyclopentanecarboxylates: a flip from beta-amino- to beta,gamma-diamin…
2007
Conformationally restricted, orthogonally protected 2,4-diaminocarboxylates with a cyclopentane skeleton were efficiently synthesized from beta-lactam 6, the syntheses involving strategies of diastereoselective epoxidation of the beta-lactam and the corresponding monoprotected amino esters with opposite selectivities followed by regioselective opening of the oxirane ring with sodium azide. The enantiomers were also prepared. This new class of compounds can be regarded not only as conformationally constrained beta,gamma-diamino acid derivatives but also as potential functionalized carbocyclic nucleoside precursors.
Evidence of a specialized transport mechanism for the intestinal absorption of baclofen
1989
Absorption of the spasmolytic drug baclofen in three selected intestinal segments of living anaesthetized rats in situ, is shown to be a specialized transport mechanism obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Equation parameters were calculated through different procedures, whose features are discussed. A computer method based on the integrated form of Michaelis-Menten equation which reproduces the entire time course of drug absorption from the data found in three intestinal perfusion series at different initial concentrations, yielded Vm and Km values of 12.0 mg h-1 and 8.0 mg, respectively, in the mean segment of the small intestine, a rather selective absorption site for baclofen. Lesser but …
Kinetic modelling of the intestinal transport of sarafloxacin. Studiesin situin rat andin vitroin Caco-2 cells
2005
The absorption kinetics of sarafloxacin, as a model of fluoroquinolone structure, were studied in the rat small intestine and in Caco-2 cells. The objective of the study was to investigate the mechanistic basis of the drug's intestinal transport in comparison with other members of the fluoroquinolone family and to apply a mathematical modelling approach to the transport process. In the rat small intestine, sarafloxacin showed dual mechanisms of intestinal absorption with a passive diffusional component and an absorptive carrier-mediated component. The characteristics of the animal study design made it suitable for population analysis, thus allowing the accurate estimation of transport param…
Modelling intestinal absorption of salbutamol sulphate in rats
2005
The objective was to develop a semiphysiological population pharmacokinetic model that describes the complex salbutamol sulphate absorption in rat small intestine. In situ techniques were used to characterize the salbutamol sulphate absorption at different concentrations (range: 0.15-18 mM). Salbutamol sulphate at concentration of 0.29 mM was administered in presence of verapamil (10 and 20 mM), grapefruit juice and sodium azide (NaN3) (0.3, 3 and 6 mM). Different pharmacokinetic models were fitted to the dataset using NONMEM. Parametric and non-parametric bootstrap analyses were employed as internal model evaluation techniques. The validated model suggested instantaneous equilibrium betwee…
The influence of active secretion processes on intestinal absorption of salbutamol in the rat.
2001
Abstract Salbutamol was perfused in the small intestine of rat using a standard rat gut ‘in situ’ preparation: (1) in inhibitor-free solution at seven different concentrations (0.15, 0.29, 1.20, 5.0, 9.0, 13.0 and 18.0 mM); (2) at a 0.29 mM concentration – thought to be close to the allometric dose in man – in the presence of a non-specific enzyme inhibitor, sodium azide (0.3, 3.0 and 6.0 mM); and (3) at 0.29 mM in the presence of a selective secretion inhibitor, verapamil (10.0 and 20.0 mM). In free solution, the mixed-order rate constants, k ′ a , of salbutamol increase as the solute concentration increases until an apparent asymptotic value is reached. This could be due to the saturation…
Syntheses, crystal structures, and oxidative DNA cleavage of some Cu(II) complexes of 5-amino-3-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazole
2004
Three new monomeric Cu(II) complexes of 5-amino-3-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazole (Hapt), [Cu(Hapt)(H(2)O)(2)(SO(4))] (1), [Cu(Hapt)(2)(H(2)O)(NO(3))](NO(3)) (2), and [Cu(Hapt)(2)(NCS-N)](NCS).H(2)O (3), have been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. One distorted [CuN(2)O(2)+O(')] square-pyramidal (1), one distorted [CuN(3)O+N(')+O(')] octahedral (2), and one distorted [CuN(4)+N(')] intermediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal (3) coordination configuration were found and are suggested to be due to the chelating nature of the ligand, which interacts with Cu(II) through the N4(triazole) and N(pyridine) atoms. Spectral properties of these chelates are…
A microplate version of the SOS/umu-test for rapid detection of genotoxins and genotoxic potentials of environmental samples
1991
Abstract The umu-microtest is a miniaturized automated short-term test version proposed for screening of umuC-dependent mutagenic potentials of chemicals relevant to environmental pollution, river water and industrial waste water. The test is based on the SOS/umu-test and has been modified in order to allow extensive testing of environmental samples. Genetically engineered Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535/pSK1002) are incubated on a microplate rotor in a sloping position for 2 h with the test samples, followed by addition of fresh culture medium to reach a 10-fold dilution of the incubation medium. 2 h later, the activity of the β-galactosidase, which reflects umuC induction, is determined co…
