An overview is given of the results of metal ion-diclofenac interactions. Several complexes have been synthesized at the University of Ioannina. Binuclear complexes, [Cu(L)2(H2O)]2 x 2H2O and [CuL2(S)]2 where S is H2O, EtOH, DMSO, (CH3)2CO and DMF, and mononuclear complexes, [MnL2(H2O)], [FeL2(H2O)2], [CoL2(H2O)2] x 0.5H2O, [CoL2(H2O)], [NiL2(H2O)2] x 2H2O, [NiL2] and [PdL2] x 2H2O, have been characterized by spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and electrochemical studies. The catalytic activity of these complexes was correlated to the reduction potential. Some of the complexes of diclofenac exhibit very promising anti-inflammatory activity and act as antioxidant compounds, a property that is absent from diclofenac. 相似文献

Three new immunogens which were prepared by conjugation of the carboxymethyl oxime (CMO) derivatives of HT-2 toxin, T-2 tetraol (T-2 4ol), and T-2 tetraol tetraacetate (T-2 4Ac) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were tested for the production of antibodies against the major metabolites of T-2 toxin. Antibodies against HT-2 toxin and T-2 4Ac were obtained from rabbits 5 to 10 weeks after immunizing the animals with CMO-HT-2-BSA and CMO-T-2 4Ac-BSA conjugates. Immunization with CMO-T-2 4ol-BSA resulted in no antibody against T-2 4ol. The antibody produced against HT-2 toxin had great affinity for HT-2 toxin as well as good cross-reactivity with T-2 toxin. The relative cross-reactivities of anti-HT-2 toxin antibody with HT-2 toxin, T-2 toxin, iso-T-2 toxin, acetyl-T-2 toxin, 3'-OH HT-2, 3'-OH T-2, T-2 triol, and 3'-OH acetyl-T-2, were 100, 25, 10, 3.3, 0.25, 0.15, 0.12 and 0.08%, respectively. Antibody against CMO-T-2 4Ac was very specific for T-2 4Ac and had less than 0.1% cross-reactivity with T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, acetyl-T-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, deoxynivalenol, and deoxynivalenol triacetate as compared with T-2 4Ac. The detection limits for HT-2 toxin and T-2 4ol by radioimmunoassay were approximately 0.1 and 0.5 ng per assay, respectively. 相似文献

The promoting activity of polyamine analogs (IV approximately XV) on staphylococcal nuclease with DNA as the substrate was compared with that of natural polyamines (I APPROXIMATELY III): I.

NH2(CH2)2O(CH2)2NH2 Replacement of the terminal groups by CN, COOH, COOEt, NHAc, NHEt, or N(CH3)2 remarkably decreased the activity. The compound VII with terminal hydroxyl groups had a lower promoting activity at low concentrations, but revealed higher activity at higher concentrations and, in contrast to spermine, no inhibition at all even at very high concentrations. Replacement of both internal amino groups by sulfur or NCH3 decreased the activity. The introduction of an ether bond into the internal methylene groups (compound XI) highly decreased the activity. Based upon these findings the possible relationship between structure and activity is discussed. 相似文献

Fasting gluconeogenesis (GNG) is often quantified using the 2H2O technique, which is based on plasma 2H2O enrichment and ensuing enrichment of plasma glucose at the C5 and C2 positions. Fractional (fr)GNG can be calculated using the ratio of C5 to C2 enrichment or the ratio of C5 to plasma 2H2O enrichment. For the latter, equilibration of 2H2O and C2 is required. The optimal equilibration period of 2H2O and C2 remains to be elucidated. In six healthy male subjects fasted for 18 h, we studied the effects of 3-, 5-, and 15-h 2H2O incubation periods on 1) the equilibration of plasma 2H2O and C2 glucose enrichment, 2) the measurement of frGNG, and 3) C5 labeling of hepatic glycogen after 1 mg of glucagon administration. After 3-h 2H2O incubation, plasma 2H2O and C2 were not equilibrated, frGNG C5/2H2O and C5/C2 were also different as was gluconeogenesis calculated with C5/2H2O and C5/C2. After 5- and 15-h 2H2O incubation, plasma 2H2O and C2 were equilibrated, and frGNG C5/2H2O and C5/C2 were similar, as was GNG calculated with C5/2H2O and C5/C2. After glucagon administration, no difference of C5 enrichment was found between 3, 5, and 15 h of 2H2O incubation. In conclusion, for reliable measurement of GNG in healthy subjects with C5/2H2O incubation periods longer than 3 h are required. After 5- and 15-h 2H2O incubation, GNG can be reliably measured with C5/2H2O. Gluconeogenetic labeling of glycogen did not affect the results after 3, 5, or 15 h of 2H2O incubation. 相似文献

Red blood cells (RBCs) are probably the most common target through the damaging action of reactive oxygen species on the cells. The photohemolysis activity of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (CPBA) was concentration- and exposure time-dependent. Twenty minutes photo exposure time and 200 μm of CPBA concentration were optimum to study the effect of generated superoxide (O2-) and hydroxyl (&bull•OH) radicals on RBCs. RBCs lysis photosensitized by CPBA was investigated in the presence of [(VL2O)(VL2H2O)]Cl6, [MnL2O]2Cl42H2O, [FeL2Cl2]Cl H2O, [CoL2Cl2]4H2O or [ZnL2Cl2]H2O respectively, where L is 2-methylaminopyridine, with SOD-mimetic activities with the aim of ascertaining their protective activity towards the photo induced cell damage. The decrease of photolytic activity caused by these complexes was concentration-dependent and the maximum percentage of protective activity was 75, 70, 68, 57 or 24% for [(VL2O)(VL2H2O)]Cl6, [MnL2O]2Cl4 2H2O, [FeL2Cl2]Cl H2O, [CoL2Cl2]4H2O or [ZnL2Cl2]H2O complex respectively, against the cell irradiated without addition of metal complexes. The comparison between the decrease of photolytic activity caused by these complexes and their SOD-mimetic activity of these metal complexes showed an appreciable correlation. 相似文献

We investigated how salicylic acid (SA) enhances H2O2 and the relative significance of SA-enhanced H2O2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. SA treatments enhanced H2O2 production, lipid peroxidation, and oxidative damage to proteins, and resulted in the formation of chlorophyll and carotene isomers. SA-enhanced H2O2 levels were related to increased activities of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase and were independent of changes in catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activities. Prolonging SA treatments inactivated catalase and ascorbate peroxidase and resulted in phytotoxic symptoms, suggesting that inactivation of H2O2-degrading enzymes serves as an indicator of hypersensitive cell death. Treatment of leaves with H2O2 alone failed to invoke SA-mediated events. Although leaves treated with H2O2 accumulated in vivo H2O2 by 2-fold compared with leaves treated with SA, the damage to membranes and proteins was significantly less, indicating that SA can cause greater damage than H2O2. However, pretreatment of leaves with dimethylthiourea, a trap for H2O2, reduced SA-induced lipid peroxidation, indicating that SA requires H2O2 to initiate oxidative damage. The relative significance of the interaction among SA, H2O2, and H2O2-metabolizing enzymes with oxidative damage and cell death is discussed. 相似文献

The aim of the present experiments was to clarify the subunit stoichiometry of P2X2/3 and P2X2/6 receptors, where the same subunit (P2X2) forms a receptor with two different partners (P2X3 or P2X6). For this purpose, four non-functional Ala mutants of the P2X2, P2X3, and P2X6 subunits were generated by replacing single, homologous amino acids particularly important for agonist binding. Co-expression of these mutants in HEK293 cells to yield the P2X2 WT/P2X3 mutant or P2X2 mutant/P2X3 WT receptors resulted in a selective blockade of agonist responses in the former combination only. In contrast, of the P2X2 WT/P2X6 mutant and P2X2 mutant/P2X6 WT receptors, only the latter combination failed to respond to agonists. The effects of α,β-methylene-ATP and 2-methylthio-ATP were determined by measuring transmembrane currents by the patch clamp technique and intracellular Ca(2+) transients by the Ca(2+)-imaging method. Protein labeling, purification, and PAGE confirmed the assembly and surface trafficking of the investigated WT and WT/mutant combinations in Xenopus laevis oocytes. In conclusion, both electrophysiological and biochemical investigations uniformly indicate that one subunit of P2X2 and two subunits of P2X3 form P2X2/3 heteromeric receptors, whereas two subunits of P2X2 and one subunit of P2X6 constitute P2X2/6 receptors. Further, it was shown that already two binding sites of the three possible ones are sufficient to allow these receptors to react with their agonists. 相似文献

P2Y receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for extracellular nucleotides. There are eight mammalian P2Y receptor subtypes (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, P2Y12, P2Y13, and P2Y14). P2Y2 receptors are widely expressed and play important roles in multiple functionalities. Diquafosol tetrasodium, known as INS365, which was the first P2Y2 receptor agonists that had been approved in April 2010 and launched in Japan by Santen Pharmaceuticals. Besides, a series of similar agonists for the P2Y2 receptor are undergoing development to cure different diseases related to the P2Y2 receptor. This article illustrated the structure and functions of the P2Y2 receptor and focused on several kinds of agonists about their molecular structures, research progress and chemical synthesis methods. Last but not the least, we summarized the structures-activity relationship (SAR) of agonists for the P2Y2 receptor and expected more efficient agonists for the P2Y2 receptor. 相似文献

We have employed a new scale for characterizing chromosomal forms in the karyotypes of four species of Bipalium from five localities in Japan. Specimens of Bipalium nobile Kawakatsu et Makino, 1982, from Yokohama had a diploid chromosome number of 2x = 10 (2m + 2sm + 2sm + st & sm + 2sm); specimens of the same species from Toyonaka had this number as well but with slightly different chromosomal form (2m + 2sm + sm & st + 2st + m & sm). An undescribed species from Sanjô, Bipalium sp. 2, with two dorsal stripes and a yellow head crescent, had 2x = 10 (2m + 2sm + 2sm + 2sm + 2m); and another undescribed species from Chichijima Island, Bipalium sp. 3, with five dorsal stripes, had 2x = 10 (2m + 2sm + 2sm + 2sm + 2m). A non-sexual bipaliid tentatively identified as Bipalium kewense Moseley, 1878, from Chichijima Island had 2x = 18 (2m + 2m + 2m + 2sm + 2st + 2sm + 2sm + 2sm + 2sm). 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in cardiovascular diseases. ROS, such as H2O2, act as second messengers to activate diverse signaling pathways. Although H2O2 activates several tyrosine kinases, including the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, JAK2, and PYK2, in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the intracellular mechanism by which ROS activate these tyrosine kinases remains unclear. Here, we identified two distinct signaling pathways required for receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinase activation by H2O2 involving a metalloprotease-dependent generation of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and protein kinase C (PKC)-delta activation, respectively. H2O2-induced EGF receptor tyrosine phosphorylation was inhibited by a metalloprotease inhibitor, whereas the inhibitor had no effect on H2O2-induced JAK2 tyrosine phosphorylation. HB-EGF neutralizing antibody inhibited H2O2-induced EGF receptor phosphorylation. In COS-7 cells expressing an HB-EGF construct tagged with alkaline phosphatase, H2O2 stimulates HB-EGF production through metalloprotease activation. By contrast, dominant negative PKC-delta transfection inhibited H2O2-induced JAK2 phosphorylation but not EGF receptor phosphorylation. Dominant negative PYK2 inhibited H2O2-induced JAK2 activation but not EGF receptor activation, whereas dominant negative PKC-delta inhibited PYK2 activation by H2O2. These data demonstrate the presence of distinct tyrosine kinase activation pathways (PKC-delta/PYK2/JAK2 and metalloprotease/HB-EGF/EGF receptor) utilized by H2O2 in VSMCs, thus providing unique therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

Human killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors are expressed in natural killer cells and subsets of T lymphocytes. They regulate these cells upon interaction with human leukocyte antigen class I molecules and other ligands presented by target cells. KIR gene frequencies and haplotype distributions have been shown to differ significantly between populations from different geographical regions and ethnic origins, which relates to functional variations in the immune response. We have investigated KIR gene frequencies and genotype diversities of 15 KIR genes (KIR2DL1, 2DL2, 2DL3, 2DL4, 2DL5, 2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS4, ID, 2DS5, 3DL1, 3DL2, 3DL3, 3DS1) and two pseudogenes (KIR3DP1 and 2DP1) in 120 unrelated healthy individuals of the Uygur population living in the Xinjiang autonomous region of China. All individuals were typed positive for the four framework loci KIR3DL3, 2DL4, 3DL2 and KIR3DP1, while activating genes (KIR2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS5 and KIR3DS1) indicated some variation in this population. KIR3DS1 was found in a higher frequency in the studied population than in other groups from China. Linkage disequilibrium among KIR genes displayed a wide range. ??2 analysis, conducted among non-ubiquitous genes, based on the KIR gene frequency data from our study population and previously published population data, revealed significant differences in the KIR2DL1, 2DL2, 2DL3, 2DL5, 3DL1, 2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS5, and 3DS1 genes. A neighbor-joining phylogenic tree, built using the observed carrier frequencies data of 13 KIR loci (KIR2DL1, 2DL2, 2DL3, 2DL4, 2DL5, 3DL1, 3DL2, 3DL3, 2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS5, and 3DS1), showed relationships between the population studied and other previously reported populations. The present study can therefore be valuable for enriching the ethnical gene information resources of the KIR gene pool, for population origin studies and for KIR-related clinical practice. 相似文献
