Immunotherapeutic approaches to inflammatory bowel diseases
2001
For a long time corticosteroids, aminosalicylic acid preparations and antibiotics have represented the principal approaches in evidence-based drug therapy for chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), e.g., Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and are able to suppress disease activity in most cases. However, there are cases that do not respond to conventional drug therapy or remain dependent on high doses of steroids associated with severe side effects in the long run. It is generally accepted now that IBD has an immunological basis and results from a hyperresponsive state of the intestinal immune system. Although the primary etiological defect respectively immunogenic agent s…
FIA-AAS determination of salicylic acid by a solid-phase reactor of copper carbonate incorporated in polyester resin beads.
1994
Abstract The determination of salicylic acid was carried out by reaction of the drug with copper carbonate entrapped in a polymeric material in a solid-phase reactor; the released cupric ions were monitored by flame atomic absorption at 324.8 nm. The calibration graph is linear over the range 4.0–75 μg ml −1 of salicylic acid, with a relative standard deviation of less than 1.5% and a sample throughout of 257 h −1 . The influence of foreign compounds was studied and the method was applied to the determination of salicylic acid content in two different pharmaceutical formulations.
HPMC-salicylate conjugates as macromolecular prodrugs: Design, characterization, and nano-rods formation
2009
The design, characterization, and nano-rods formation of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC)-salicylate conjugates as macromolecular prodrugs, was described. HPMC, obtained from Zhejiang Zhongbao Imp and Exp Corp, was dried under vacuum at 110°C for 8 hr. Nanoparticles were prepared using dialysis process in which 170 mg of HPMC-salicylate sample was dissolved in 5 mL of purified DMSO and was dialyzed against distilled water for 4 days. HPMC-salicylic acid conjugates reveal the absence of sulfur in all of the samples showing that there is no introduction to tosylate groups either covalently bounded or as an impurity.
Nitric oxide: a new player in plant signalling and defence responses.
2004
There is increasing evidence that nitric oxide (NO), which was first identified as a unique diffusible molecular messenger in animals, plays important roles in diverse (patho)physiological processes in plants. NO functions include the modulation of hormonal, wounding and defence responses, as well as the regulation of cell death. Enzymes that catalyse NO synthesis and signalling cascades that mediate NO effects have recently been discovered, providing a better understanding of the mechanisms by which NO influences plant responses to various stimuli. Additionally, growing evidence suggests that NO signalling interacts with the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signalling pathways.

Increased Auxin Content and Altered Auxin Response in Barley Necrotic Mutant nec1
2012
The role of hormone crosstalk in plant immunity is lately emerging as significant topic of plant physiology. Although crosstalk between salicylic acid and auxin affects plant disease resistance, molecular mechanisms of this process have not yet been uncovered in details. Mutations disrupting cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel 4 (CNGC4) affect SA-mediated disease resistance in barley Hordeum vulgare and in A. thaliana. Significantly, decreased stomatal apertures of barley CNGC4 mutant nec1 and dwarfed stature of A. thaliana CNGC4 mutant dnd2 suggest that nonfunctional CNGC4 might be affecting also auxin signaling. Excised coleoptile elongation, stomatal conductance, and cell size measuremen…
Aqueous selective photocatalytic oxidation of salicyl alcohol by TiO2 catalysts: Influence of some physico-chemical features
2021
Abstract Partial photocatalytic oxidation of salicyl alcohol (2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol) to salicylaldehyde in water was investigated under environmental friendly conditions in the presence of home-prepared and commercial TiO2 (Merck and Aeroxide P25) samples under UVA irradiation. The photocatalysts were characterized by using BET, XRD, SEM and/or TEM techniques. The effects of crystallinity degree, pH (3–11) and presence of a hole trap (ethanol) on the photocatalytic activity and product selectivity were investigated. 4-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol was also used to study the influence of the position of the substituent group in the aromatic ring. High alcohols conversion and product selectivity va…
Virazole (Ribavirin) a Cytostatic Agent
1978
Virazole (1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3carboxamide,ribavirin) is a synthetic triazol nucleoside with a broad spectrum of antiviral activity. But virazole affects the metabolism not only of virus infected cells. Virazole strongly inhibits the cell proliferation of mouse lymphoma cells (L 5178y), which were not infected with DNA- or RNA-viruses. Starting with 3 × 103 cells/ml and an incubation period of 72 hr, the drug reduces the cell proliferation to 50% (= ED50 concentration) in a concentration of 4,7 μM.
ChemInform Abstract: 2-Sulfonyliminodihydropyrimidines: A Novel Class of Analgesic Compounds.
2009
A series of 2-sulfonyliminodihydropyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated in vivo for their antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. The results were compared with that of acetyl salicylic acid. Compounds 6Ab-d and 6Be displayed an interesting analgesic profile in the acetic acid-induced abdominal contractions test. Based on the results of the carrageenan-hind paw edema test, compound 6Af showed potential anti-inflammatory activity.
