Inhibition of Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity by Cucurbitacin R through the Curbing of Lymphocyte Proliferation and Cytokine Expression by Means of Nuc…
2009
Cucurbitacin R is known to exhibit an anti-inflammatory effect in different experimental models of inflammation. In this article, we outline the effect of cucurbitacin R on T lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine production, and nuclear factor activation, as well as its influence on various experimental models of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice. Cucurbitacin R reduced the proliferation of phytohemagglutinin A-stimulated human T lymphocytes (IC(50), 18 microM), modifying the cell cycle, as well as the production of cytokines [interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-10, and especially interferon-gamma] and the induction of the principal cyclins implicated in the cell cycle (A(1), B(1), D(2), an…
Selective encapsulation of a chloride anion in a 1H-pyrazole Cu2+ metallocage
2021
A self-assembled metallobox from copper(ii) and two macrocycles containing 1H-pyrazole ligands has been prepared. The internal cavity of the box is able to selectively encapsulate a single chloride anion over any other halide anion.
Flow-cytometric screening for the modulation of receptor-mediated endocytosis in human dendritic cells: implications for the development of an in vit…
1997
The aim of this study was to explore the usefulness of human blood dendritic cells (DC) in the development of an in vitro model for predictive testing of contact sensitizers. A method was established to monitor the influence of chemicals on the intracellular targeting of antibody-crosslinked MHC class II molecules after their uptake by human DC. Using a three-colour flow-cytometric technique, freshly prepared DC were distinguished from other MHC class II-bearing cell types such as B-cells and monocytes in unseparated mononuclear cell suspensions of healthy volunteers. The assay is based on the pH-sensitivity of internalized fluorescein-coupled MHC class II specific antibodies. Quenching of …
Diels-Alder Reactions of (1H-Indol-3-yl)-enacetamides and -endiacetamides: A Selective Access to Acetylamino-Functionalized [b]Annelated Indoles and …
1991
Diels-Alder reactions of the (1H-indol-3-yl)-enacetamides and -endiacetamides 1a–d with some carbodieno-philes and 4-phenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5(4H)-dione give rise to the novel amino-functionalized carbazole; 4–6 and 8 (Scheme 3). Ethenetetracarbonitrile reacts with 1b to furnish the Michael-type adduct 7 (Scheme 3). Structural aspects of the starting materials 1, which exhibit above all 3-vinyl-1H-indole reactivity, are discussed with regard to the prediction of a Diels-Alder process.
Update on topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
2001
Topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are a novel addition to the armamentarium of medical glaucoma treatment; dorzolamide has been available since 1995 and brinzolamide since 1998. They lower intraocular pressure by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase, a key enzyme for aqueous humor formation. Intraocular pressure-lowering activity of the substances appears to be the same and is similar to that of most other agents, but it does not reach the activity of the unselective beta-blocker timolol or the prostaglandin latanoprost. On concomitant treatment, additivity is reached with all other topical agents. A possible improvement of blood flow may offer an additional benefit, but its significance for t…
Intercurrent factors associated with the development of open-angle glaucoma in The European Glaucoma Prevention Study
2007
Purpose: To evaluate the intercurrent factors for the development of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in ocular hypertensive patients who were enrolled in the European Glaucoma Prevention Study (EGPS). Design: Randomized, double masked, controlled clinical trial. Methods: setting: Multicenter. study population: A total of 1,077 patients fulfilled a series of inclusion criteria, including intraocular pressure (IOP) 22 to 29 mm Hg, normal and reliable visual fields (VFs) and normal optic disks. intervention: Treatment with dorzolamide or placebo. main outcome measures: Glaucoma-related VF or optic disk changes. Clinical data were collected every six months during a five-year follow-up. Proportional …
Addition of a fixed combination of brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% to prostaglandin monotherapy in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension
2011
Katrin Lorenz1, Klaus Rosbach2, Andreas Matt3, Norbert Pfeiffer11University Medical Center, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Mainz, Germany; 2Private practice, Mainz, Germany; 3Private practice, Köln-Hohenhaus, GermanyBackground: This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of adding a fixed combination of brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% to prostaglandin analog (PGA) monotherapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, pigment dispersion glaucoma, or ocular hypertension who require additional intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction.Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter (n = 5), open-label, single-arm, Phase IV clinical trial in which patients cur…

Ionic liquid crystals based on 3-perfluoalkyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium salts
2016
Liquid-crystalline ionic liquids (LC-ILs) are a class of organic materials that of great current interest: they are defined as organic salts that possess the properties of two interesting kinds of material – ionic liquids (ILs) and liquid crystals (LCs). LC-ILs combine many interesting features of ILs (e.g. low volatility and the ability to dissolve solutes with a range of polarities) as well as many attractive properties of LCs (e.g. their intrinsic order and anisotropy). This provides unique opportunities that can be exploited in many different fields, for example their use as solvents for extraction processes as well as electrolytes for batteries, fuel cells, and dye-sensitised solar cel…
