It is known that (−)-linalool is a competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors, which play a key role in the learning and memory processes; however, only a few studies have reported a possible interference of (−)-linalool in memory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the (−)-linalool effects on acquisition of short- and long-term memories through the objects recognition task, inhibitory avoidance test and habituation to a novel environment. Furthermore, the open field test was used to investigate the interference of (−)-linalool in motivation, locomotion and exploration by animals. Wistar male adult rats received an intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of saline (NaCl 0.9%), tween 5% or (−)-linalool (50 or 100 mg/kg) before training in the tasks; MK-801 (0.1 mg/kg), a glutamate antagonist, was used as positive control. Short-term (STM) and long-term (LTM) memories were tested 1.5 and 24 h after training, respectively, in the inhibitory avoidance and recognition objects. The results suggested that (−)-linalool (as 50- and 100-mg/kg doses) impaired LTM acquisition, but not STM acquisition, in the object recognition task. In the inhibitory avoidance test, animals receiving linalool (both doses) showed impairment in acquisition of both memories measured. In the open field test, the animals that received (−)-linalool showed no significant difference in the crossings and latency to start the locomotion in any of the doses tested, although (−)-linalool 100 mg/kg reduced rearing behavior. When re-exposed to open field 24 h after training, the rats that received (−)-linalool 100 mg/kg showed no habituation. Taken together, these data suggested that (−)-linalool was able to impair the acquisition of memory in rats, which can be associated to (−)-linalool antagonist capacity as regards NMDA glutamatergic receptors, since other glutamate antagonists also seem to affect memory. 相似文献

Diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) is an electrophilic reagent used in the synthesis of a variety of pharmacologically active organic selenium compounds. This may increase the risk of human exposure to the chemical at the workplace. We have determined its mutagenic potential in the Salmonella/microsome assay and used the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to assay for putative genotoxicity, recombinogenicity and to determine whether DNA damage produced by DPDS is repairable. Only in exponentially growing cultures was DPDS able to induce frameshift mutations in S. typhimurium and haploid yeast and to increase crossing over and gene conversion frequencies in diploid strains of S. cerevisiae. Thus, DPDS presents a behavior similar to that of an intercalating agent. Mutants defective in excision-resynthesis repair (rad3, rad1), in error-prone repair (rad6) and in recombinational repair (rad52) showed higher than WT-sensitivity to DPDS. It appears that this compound is capable of inducing single and/or double strand breaks in DNA. An epistatic interaction was shown between rad3-e5 and rad52-1 mutant alleles, indicating that excision-resynthesis and strand-break repair may possess common steps in the repair of DNA damage induced by DPDS. DPDS was able to enhance the mutagenesis induced by oxidative mutagens in bacteria. N-acetylcysteine, a glutathione biosynthesis precursor, prevented mutagenesis induced by DPDS in yeast. We have shown that DPDS is a weak mutagen which probably generates DNA strand breaks through both its intercalating action and pro-oxidant effect. 相似文献

Considering the important role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of several neurological diseases, and the growing evidence
of the presence of compounds with antioxidant properties in the plant extracts, the aim of the present study was to investigate
the antioxidant capacity of three plants used in Brazil to treat neurological disorders: Melissa officinalis, Matricaria recutita and Cymbopogon citratus. The antioxidant effect of phenolic compounds commonly found in plant extracts, namely, quercetin, gallic acid, quercitrin
and rutin was also examined for comparative purposes. Cerebral lipid peroxidation (assessed by TBARS) was induced by iron
sulfate (10 μM), sodium nitroprusside (5 μM) or 3-nitropropionic acid (2 mM). Free radical scavenger properties and the chemical
composition of plant extracts were assessed by 1′-1′ Diphenyl-2′ picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and by Thin Layer Chromatography
(TLC), respectively. M. officinalis aqueous extract caused the highest decrease in TBARS production induced by all tested pro-oxidants. In the DPPH assay, M. officinalis presented also the best antioxidant effect, but, in this case, the antioxidant potencies were similar for the aqueous, methanolic
and ethanolic extracts. Among the purified compounds, quercetin had the highest antioxidant activity followed by gallic acid,
quercitrin and rutin. In this work, we have demonstrated that the plant extracts could protect against oxidative damage induced
by various pro-oxidant agents that induce lipid peroxidation by different process. Thus, plant extracts could inhibit the
generation of early chemical reactive species that subsequently initiate lipid peroxidation or, alternatively, they could
block a common final pathway in the process of polyunsaturated fatty acids peroxidation. Our study indicates that M. officinalis could be considered an effective agent in the prevention of various neurological diseases associated with oxidative stress. 相似文献

The presence of prorenin, renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II (Ang II) and Ang II receptors in the ovary is suggestive of a functional ovarian renin-angiotensin system (RAS). In cattle, the expression of Ang II is greatest in large follicles, suggesting that it is important during follicular growth and maturation. The present study was designed to investigate the role of Ang II in bovine oocyte nuclear maturation. Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured with or without follicular cells and Ang II or saralasin (Ang II antagonist). In the absence of follicular cells, Ang II at 0, 10(-11), 10(-9) and 10(-7) M did not affect the percentage of oocytes reaching the germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD), metaphase I (MI) and metaphase II (MII) stage after 7-h (41.3 +/- 4.3, 35.3 +/- 4.0, 31.3 +/- 9.7, 38.7 +/- 8.6), 12-h (31.6 +/- 7.0, 34.7 +/- 6.1, 31.7 +/- 5.3, 28.9 +/- 9.1; mean +/- S.E.M.) and 18-h (44.9 +/- 7.3, 58.4 +/- 8.4, 53.1 +/- 7.4, 44.9 +/- 7.3) of culture, respectively. Similarly, saralasin at 0, 10(-11), 10(-9) and 10(-7) M did not affect the percentage of oocytes reaching MII stage after 18-h of culture (37.6 +/- 7.4, 34.4 +/- 7.7, 30.0 +/- 10.8 and 31.2 +/- 5.1, respectively). The theca cells (MII = 22.9%) or medium conditioned with follicular cells (GV = 65.5%, MI = 23.6%) inhibited oocyte maturation; however, theca cells (MII = 35.5 +/- 4.9; P < 0.05) or medium conditioned with follicular cells (GV = 34.6%, MI = 52.7%; P < 0.01) were not able to inhibit nuclear maturation when Ang II (10(-11) M) was present in the culture system. Theca cells remained viable during the culture period when Ang II was present. Therefore, results supported the idea of a role of Ang II in blocking the inhibitory effect of theca cells on nuclear maturation of bovine oocytes. 相似文献

Aim
Lobeline is a natural alkaloid derived from Lobelia inflata that has been investigated as a clinical candidate for the treatment of alcoholism. In a pre-clinical trial, lobeline decreased the preference for and consumption of ethanol, due to the modulation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. However, the interaction between lobeline and ethanol is poorly known and thus there are safety concerns.The present study was conducted to evaluate the mutagenic and genotoxic effects of lobeline and assess its modulation of ethanol-induced toxicological effects.Main methods
CF-1 male mice were divided into five groups. Groups received an intraperitoneal injection of saline solution, lobeline (5 or 10 mg/kg), ethanol (2.5 g/kg), or lobeline plus ethanol, once a day for three consecutive days. Genotoxicity was evaluated in peripheral blood using the alkaline comet assay. The mutagenicity was evaluated using both Salmonella/microsome assay in TA1535, TA97a, TA98, TA100, and TA102 Salmonella typhimurium strains and the micronucleus test in bone marrow. Possible liver and kidney injuries were evaluated using biochemical analysis.Key findings
Lobeline did not show genotoxic or mutagenic effects and did not increase the ethanol-induced genotoxic effects in blood. Lobeline also protected blood cells against oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide. Biochemical parameters were not altered, indicating no liver or kidney injuries or alterations in lipid and carbohydrate metabolisms.Significance
These findings suggest that lobeline does not induce gene or chromosomal mutations, and that this lack of genetic toxicity is maintained in the presence of ethanol, providing further evidence of the safety of this drug to treat alcohol dependence. 相似文献7.

Valeriana officinalis L. (Valerian) is widely used as a traditional medicine to improve the quality of sleep. Although V. officinalis have been well documented as promising pharmacological agent; the exact mechanisms by which this plant act is still unknown.
Limited literature data have indicated that V. officinalis extracts can exhibit antioxidant properties against iron in hippocampal neurons in vitro. However, there is no data available
about the possible antioxidant effect of V. officinalis against other pro-oxidants in brain. In the present study, the protective effect of V. officinalis on lipid peroxidation (LPO) induced by different pro-oxidant agents with neuropathological importance was examined. Ethanolic
extract of valerian (0–60 μg/ml) was tested against quinolinic acid (QA); 3-nitropropionic acid; sodium nitroprusside; iron
sulfate (FeSO4) and Fe2+/EDTA induced LPO in rat brain homogenates. The effect of V. officinalis in deoxyribose degradation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was also investigated. In brain homogenates, V. officinalis inhibited thiobarbituric acid reactive substances induced by all pro-oxidants tested in a concentration dependent manner.
Similarly, V. officinalis caused a significant decrease on the LPO in cerebral cortex and in deoxyribose degradation. QA-induced ROS production in
cortical slices was also significantly reduced by V. officinalis. Our results suggest that V. officinalis extract was effective in modulating LPO induced by different pro-oxidant agents. These data may imply that V. officinalis extract, functioning as antioxidant agent, can be beneficial for reducing insomnia complications linked to oxidative stress. 相似文献

The sensitivity responses of seven pso mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae towards the mutagens N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), 1,2:7,8-diepoxyoctane (DEO), and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) further substantiated their allocation into two distinct groups: genes PSO1 (allelic to REV3), PSO2 (SNM1), PSO4 (PRP19), and PSO5 (RAD16) constitute one group in that they are involved in repair of damaged DNA or in RNA processing whereas genes PSO6 (ERG3) and PSO7 (COX11) are related to metabolic steps protecting from oxidative stress and thus form a second group, not responsible for DNA repair. PSO3 has not yet been molecularly characterized but its pleiotropic phenotype would allow its integration into either group. The first three PSO genes of the DNA repair group and PSO3, apart from being sensitive to photo-activated psoralens, have another common phenotype: they are also involved in error-prone DNA repair. While all mutants of the DNA repair group and pso3 were sensitive to DEO and NDEA the pso6 mutant revealed WT or near WT resistance to these mutagens. As expected, the repair-proficient pso7-1 and cox11-Delta mutant alleles conferred high sensitivity to NDEA, a chemical known to be metabolized via redox cycling that yields hydroxylamine radicals and reactive oxygen species. All pso mutants exhibited some sensitivity to 8HQ and again pso7-1 and cox11-Delta conferred the highest sensitivity to this drug. Double mutant snm1-Delta cox11-Delta exhibited additivity of 8HQ and NDEA sensitivities of the single mutants, indicating that two different repair/recovery systems are involved in survival. DEO sensitivity of the double mutant was equal or less than that of the single snm1-Delta mutant. In order to determine if there was oxidative damage to nucleotide bases by these drugs we employed an established bacterial test with and without metabolic activation. After S9-mix biotransformation, NDEA and to a lesser extent 8HQ, lead to significantly higher mutagenesis in an Escherichia coli tester strain WP2-IC203 as compared to WP2, whereas DEO-induced mutagenicity remained unchanged. 相似文献
