Antispasmodic effect of 4'-methylepigallocatechin on guinea pig ileum.
2012
AbstractThe antispasmodic effect of 4′-methylepigallocatechin (MEC), which was isolated from Maytenus rigida Mart (Celestraceae), was investigated in vitro in guinea pig intestinal segments. In the isolated ileum, MEC (1 nM–100μM) did not modify the ileal spontaneous tonus or the electrically elicited contractions. MEC (8μM) significantly (p<0.01) reduced the submaximal contractions induced by histamine (2μM), carbachol (100μM) and BaCl2 (0.03M). An additive relaxing action (p<0.001) was observed by co-incubation of verapamil (10 nM) and MEC (8μM). Although MEC (1nM–100μM) did not modify the contractions elicited by 60mM KCl, it significantly reduced the CaCl2 contractile response without c…
INTRODUZIONE AL D.LGS. 19 GENNAIO 2017, N. 3, DI ATTUAZIONE DELLA DIR. 2014/104/UE SUL RISARCIMENTO DEI DANNI PER VIOLAZIONE DELLA NORMATIVA ANTITRUST
2018
Con l’emanazione del d.lgs. 19 gennaio 2017, n. 3 e` stata data attuazione alla direttiva 2014/104/UE del Parlamento e del Consiglio del 26 novembre 2014, relativa a determinate norme che regolano le azioni per il risarcimento del danno ai sensi del diritto nazionale per violazioni delle disposizioni del diritto della concorrenza degli Stati membri e dell’Unione europea. Lo scritto, nell'introdurre una serie di commenti alla neo-introdotta normativa, esamina il percorso evolutivo che ha condotto all'emanazione della direttiva, le scelte con essa operate e le modalità di recepimento nell'ordinamento italiano. With the issuance of Legislative Decree January 19, 2017, no. 3 was implemented the…
Influence of dopexamine on hemodynamics, intramucosal pH, and regulators of the macrocirculation and microcirculation in patients undergoing abdomina…
2000
Abstract Objective: To investigate whether dopexamine hydrochloride beneficially influences splanchnic perfusion and regulators of the macrocirculation and microcirculation in patients undergoing surgery of the abdominal aorta. Design: Prospective, blinded, and randomized study. Setting: University-affiliated hospital. Participants: Twenty patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic surgery. Interventions: The patients were randomized to one of two groups. In the dopexamine group (DOP, n = 10), dopexamine, 1 μg/kg/min, was started before surgery and continued for 24 hours. In the control group (COG, n = 10), patients received saline solution as placebo. Extensive hemodynamic monitoring wa…
Knock-down of the oxysterol receptor LXRα impairs cholesterol efflux in human primary macrophages: lack of compensation by LXRβ activation.
2012
Liver X Receptors (LXRs) α and β are oxysterol-activated nuclear receptors involved in the control of lipid metabolism and inflammation. Pharmacological activation of LXR is promising in the treatment of atherosclerosis since it can promote cholesterol efflux from macrophages and prevent foam cell formation. However, the development of LXR agonists has been limited by undesirable side-effects such as hepatic steatosis mediated by LXRα activation. Therefore, it has been proposed that targeting LXRα activators to extrahepatic tissues or using LXRβ-specific activators could be used as alternative strategies. It is not clear whether these molecules will retain the full atheroprotective potentia…
Enthalpies of transfer of pentanol from water to sodium dodecylsulfate-dodecyl-dimethylamine oxide-water mixtures
1994
At a given surfactant-surfactant ratio, the enthalpies of transfer ΔH (W→W+S) of pentanol 0.03m from water to sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS)-dodecyldimethylamine oxide-water mixtures as functions of the surfactants mixture concentration (m t) were determined. ForX NaDS=0.9, ΔH (W→W+S) increases monotonically withm t such as observed for pure surfactants. ForX NaDS=0.12 and 0.3, ΔH (W→W+S) increases withm t up to 0.12m beyond which it decreases withm t. AtX NaDS=0.6, two monotonic curves can be distinguished in the ΔH (W→W+S)vs. m t trend. Experimental data were fitted through an equation previously reported for additives in pure surfactants derived by assuming the pseudo-phase transition mode…
Water and oxoanion encapsulation chemistry in a 1H-pyrazole azacryptand
2019
Anion complexes of the cryptand built with the tripodal amine tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, known as tren, with water and several oxoanions of biological and environmental interest (nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, perchlorate and arsenate) have been crystallized from aqueous solution and resolved with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All crystals show guest species encapsulated in the interior of the cavity as well as, in some cases, sitting in the grooves defined by the arms of the macrocycle. Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions play a major role in anion binding to the host. The macrocycle is able to encapsulate anions in a wide range of protonation degrees. Solution studies have bee…
Thermodynamic study of the interaction of long open-chain polyazaalkanes with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions
1993
Complexation equilibria between the open-chain terminally methylated polyamines 1,14-bis(methylamino)-3,6,9,12- tetraazatetradecane (L1), 1,17-bis(methylamino)-3,6,9,12,15-pentaazaheptadecane (L2), 1,20-bis(methylamino)- 3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaazaicosane (L3) and 1,23-bis(methylamino)-3,6,9,12,15,18,21-heptaazatricosane (L4) with Co2+ and Ni2+ have been studied by means of potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods in 0.15 mol dm−3 NaClO4 aqueous solution at 298.15 K The stability constants for the complexes formed have been determined from e.m.f, data. All these ligands form mononuclear ML2+ complexes of similar stability with Co2+ and Ni2+. Binuclear Co2L44+, Ni2L34+ and Ni2L44+ are also f…
Stabilities and coordination modes of histidine in copper(II) mixed-ligand complexes with ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine or N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentame…
2008
Abstract Solution equilibrium studies on the Cu(II)–polyamine–methionine ternary systems (polyamine: ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (Me5dien)) have been performed by pH-potentiometry, UV–Vis spectrophotometry and EPR methods. The obtained results suggest the formation of the mixed-ligand complexes with [Cu(A)(Met)]+ stoichiometry in all studied systems. Our spectroscopic results indicate the tetragonal geometry for [Cu(en)(Met)]+, the geometry slightly deviated from square pyramidal for [Cu(dien)(Met)]+ and strongly deviated from square pyramidal towards trigonal bipyramidal for the [Cu(Me5dien)(Met)]+ species. The coordination …

2013
Abstract The binding capacity of four amino-polycarboxylic ligands (APCs) [nitrilotriacetate (NTA), ethylenediamine- N , N , N′ , N′ -tetraacetate (EDTA), (S,S)-ethylenediamine- N , N ′-disuccinic acid (S,S-EDDS) and diethylenetriamine- N , N , N′ , N″ , N″ -pentaacetate (DTPA)] towards mono-, di- and tri-alkyltin(IV) cations [(CH 3 )Sn 3 + , (CH 3 ) 2 Sn 2 + , (C 2 H 5 ) 2 Sn 2 + , (CH 3 ) 3 Sn + or (C 2 H 5 ) 3 Sn + ] was studied, in aqueous solutions, by ISE-H + potentiometry, at I = 0.1 mol L − 1 (NaCl) and at T = 298.15 K. In all the systems R x Sn (4 − x)+ − APC (R = CH 3 or C 2 H 5 ) a strong 1:1 species is formed together with protonated, hydroxo and dinuclear complexes. The valu…

2000
Abstract The correlation between the retention of 12 antihistamines (carbinoxamine, chlorpheniramine, cyclizine, cyproheptadine, dexbrompheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, pheniramine, phenyltoloxamine, pyrilamine and tripelennamine), in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with aqueous-organic (methanol-water) and micellar-organic (sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-pentanol) mobile phases of varying composition, and their octanol-water partition coefficients expressed as log P o/w (ranging between 2.02 for pheniramine and 4.92 for cyproheptadine), was examined. For this study, the retention of the drugs was measured in six mobile phases of methanol-water, and…
