Darstellung und Reaktionen von 2-Methylen-canrenon

1995

Ausgehend vom Mannich-Salz 1 des Aldosteronantagonisten Canrenon oder von 2-Methylen-canrenon (2) wurden die am A-Ring anellierten Hetero- und Carbocyclen 5, 6, 8–13 dargestellt. Mit den Verbindungen 2, 3, 4b, 5, 6b, 8 und 12 wurden Bindungsstudien am Estradiol-, Progesteron-, Androgen-, Glucocorticoid- und Mineralocorticoid-Rezeptor sowie an den Serumproteinen Sexualhormonbindendes Globulin (SHBG) und Corticosteroidbindendes Globulin (CBG) durchgefuhrt. Die relativen Bindungsaffinitaten lagen bei CBG unter 1%, in allen anderen Fallen niedriger als 0.01%.

Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Transcription Factor-1 Gene Variation and Medication Load Influence White Matter Structure in Schizophrenia

2014

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have shown a widespread disruption of white matter (WM) microstructure in schizophrenia. Furthermore, higher fractional anisotropy (FA) has been consistently correlated with the severity of psychotic symptoms. Antipsychotic drugs (APDs) affect lipid homeostasis. Gene polymorphisms in sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor (SREBF)-1 and SREBF-2 have been associated with schizophrenia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In a sample of 65 patients affected by chronic schizophrenia, we investigated the effect of ongoing APD medication, SREBF-1 rs11868035<b> </b>polymo…

Seasonal Variations on the Cortisol Concentration of the Subretinal Fluid in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment

1981

Probes of the subretinal fluid were obtained from 115 nonselected retinal detachments, operated on during the period from November 19, 1973 to December 20, 1974. All patients had no known endocrine abnormalities and had not ever received topical or systemic corticosteroid therapy. Subretinal fluid Cortisol was determined by competitive protein binding analysis. A statistically significant increase in mean subretinal fluid Cortisol concentration was found for the winter season (3.3 µg/100 ml), as compared with the summer months (1.5 µg/100 ml). This finding sharply contrasts with the seasonal incidence of the idiopathic retinal detachments which reaches its maximum in the months June to Augu…

Imbalance between the neuromodulatory actions of corticotropin-releasing hormone and corticosterone as a pathophysiologic mechanism in panic disorder

Micro-RNAs miR-375-3p and miR-7-5p are released alongside ACTH from corticotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumor

2021

AbstractObjectiveCirculating miRNAs are found in bodily fluids including plasma and can serve as biomarkers for diseases. The aim of this study was to provide the first insight into the landscape of circulating miRNAs in close proximity to the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secreting PitNET. To achieve this objective next-generation sequencing of miRNAs in plasma from bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) - a gold standard in diagnosing ACTH-secreting PitNETs, was carried out.MethodsSinistral (left) and dextral (right) BIPSS blood samples of the patient were collected in three time points: before the administration of corticotropin-releasing hormone, 5 and 15 minutes after …

Mometasone furoate delivered via Breezhaler and Twisthaler in patients with asthma

2019

Introduction: Mometasone furoate (MF), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), is approved for the treatment of asthma. Previous studies suggest that MF Twisthaler® doses of 800 and 200 µg and MF Breezhaler® doses of 320 and 80 µg would elicit similar lung function effects, respectively. These MF doses are also used in an indacaterol/MF combination in development for asthma. Since sensitivity to ICS is variable, individual patients’ ICS sensitivity (as measured by FEV1 decline on ICS weaning) was used to build a robust analysis model for the study data. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, non-inferiority study of 739 adolescents and adults with asthma. MF wa…

PEST-domain-enriched tyrosine phosphatase and glucocorticoids as regulators of anaphylaxis in mice

2011

To cite this article: Obiri DD, Flink N, Maier JV, Neeb A, Maddalo D, Thiele W, Menon A, Stassen M, Kulkarni RA, Garabedian MJ, Barrios AM, Cato ACB. PEST-domain-enriched tyrosine phosphatase and glucocorticoids as regulators of anaphylaxis in mice. Allergy 2012; 67: 175–182. Abstract Background:  PEST-domain-enriched tyrosine phosphatase (PEP) is a protein tyrosine phosphatase exclusively expressed in hematopoietic cells. It is a potent negative regulator of T-cell receptor signalling that acts on receptor-coupled protein tyrosine kinases. PEST-domain-enriched tyrosine phosphatase is also expressed in mast cell and is positively regulated by glucocorticoids, but its function is unknown. In…

Increased Connexin 43 Expression as a Potential Mediator of the Neuroprotective Activity of the Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone

2009

CRH is a major central stress mediator, but also a potent neuroprotective effector. The mechanisms by which CRH mediates its neuroprotective actions are largely unknown. Here, we describe that the gap junction molecule connexin43 (Cx43) mediates neuroprotective effects of CRH toward experimentally induced oxidative stress. An enhanced gap junction communication has been reported to contribute to neuroprotection after neurotoxic insults. We show that CRH treatment up-regulates Cx43 expression and gap junctional communication in a CRH receptor-dependent manner in IMR32 neuroblastoma cells, primary astrocytes, and organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. MAPKs and protein kinase A-cAMP response…
