    Notes: The pharmacological activity of rac-ketoprofen and its enantiomers was investigated in vitro using different cellular models. The effect of these compounds on arachidonic acid metabolism was assessed by measuring the inhibition of prostanoid generation under the action of several agonists. Thus, we have evaluated the inhibition of (1) thromboxane B2 synthesis in rabbit platelets and human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), (2) prostaglandin E2 synthesis in three cultured cells, namely human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), human keratinocytes, and mouse macrophage-like P388D1 cells. The IC50 values found for (+)-(S)-ketoprofen were in the range between 0.1 nM and 0.8 μM, being slightly lower in all models than those found for rac-ketoprofen (0.4 nM-3 μM). On the other hand, (-)-(R)-ketoprofen showed inhibition of cyclooxygenase only at concentrations two or three orders of magnitude higher than those required for the (+)-(S) enantiomer. These results, obtained with cell types of relevance for inflammatory processes and with compounds of high optical purity, demonstrate that the prostanoid biosynthesis inhibition caused by the drug rac-ketoprofen is exclusively due to its dextrorotatory enantiomer. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Stereoselective metabolic pathways of ketoprofen in the rat: Incorporation into triacylglycerols and enantiomeric inversion (1996)

    Notes: The enantiomeric bioinversion of ketoprofen (KP) enantiomers and their incorporation into triacylglycerols were investigated in the rat (1) in vitro, using liver homogenates, subcellular fractions, and hepatocytes, and (2) in vivo, in different tissue samples after oral administration of the radiolabelled compounds. In liver homogenates or subcellular fractions, the enantiomer (S)-ketoprofen (S-KP) was recovered unchanged, whereas (R)-ketoprofen (R-KP) was partially converted into its Coenzyme A (CoA) thioester and inverted to S-KP. Both processes occurred mainly in the mitochondrial fraction. This supports the mechanism of inversion via stereoselective formation of CoA thioesters of R-KP, already described for other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Incorporation into triacylglycerols was detected after incubation with intact hepatocytes in the presence of added glycerol. The process was stereoselective for R-KP vs. S-KP (covalently bound radioactivity 26,742 ± 4,665 dpm/106 cells vs. 6,644 ± 3,179 dpm/106 cells, respectively). However, no incorporation was found in liver samples after oral administration of either R-KP or S-KP. On the contrary, in adipose tissue samples a significant and stereoselective formation of hybrid triacylglycerols was observed: 11,076 ± 2,790 dpm.g-1 for R-KP vs. 660 ± 268 dpm.g-1 for S-KP. The incorporated R/S ratio, higher in adipose tissue (R/S = 17) than in hepatocytes (R/S = 4), indicates that fat may be the main tissue store for the xenobiotic R-KP in rats. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The effects of different epithelial cells, namely, hamster oviduct, sheep oviduct, and pig kidney epithelial cells (IBRS-2), on the viability, percentage of progressive motility (PPM), and acrosome reactions of ejaculated ram spermatozoa were investigated. Sperm aliquots were cultured on cells, cell-conditioned medium 199, or control medium 199. The PPM of unattached spermatozoa was estimated after 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 hr of incubation at 37°C under 5% CO2 in air. Viability and the occurrence of true acrosome reactions were assessed using a triple-stain technique. Spermatozoa started to attach within 1 hr of coculture with the hamster or sheep oviductal epithelial cell (OEC) monolayers, and these spermatozoa showed vigorous tail motion. No spermatozoa were found to attach to the IBRS-2 monolayer. The PPM of unattached spermatozoa cocultured with the various types of epithelial cell monolayers for 12 hr was significantly higher than that of spermatozoa incubated in conditioned media or medium 199 alone (54% in hamster OEC vs. 40% in conditioned; 68% in sheep OEC vs. 38% in conditioned; 36% in control medium). On the other hand, after 24 hr of incubation, there were no differences in the PPM of spermatozoa cocultured with epithelial cells or incubated in conditioned media. The percentages of cells undergoing a true acrosome reaction reached maximum values (P 〈 0.05) in spermatozoa incubated for 9 hr in the presence of hamster OEC (22.5%) or for 12 hr on sheep OEC (20.5%) monolayers. IBRS-2, a commercial nonreproductive cell type, had a positive influence on both PPM and sperm viability but no effect on the occurrence of the acrosome reaction. Interactions leading to the acrosome reaction were thus observed only when spermatozoa were cocultured with OEC monolayers. The values of PPM in unattached sperm cells seen after 12 hr of coculture with OEC or IBRS-2 were still at a high level (52-67%) for in vitro fertilization. The coculture with OECs provides an “in vitro” model to study the capacitation processes in a situation that may resemble that occurring in vivo. Moreover, the coculture with hamster OECs may provide a convenient and standardized in vitro system to study mechanisms underlying capacitation and the acrosome reaction. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The progesterone receptor (PR) plays a pivotal role in the maturation process of the secretory endometrium, implantation and maintenance of pregnancy in rabbits. To determine the dynamics of PR gene expression and its physiological significance, the endometrial expression of PR and PR mRNA were evaluated and compared with the expression of the progesterone-regulated uteroglobin (UG) gene during 0-5 days post-coitus in rabbits. The results of immunoblot experiments indicated the presence of PR in endometrial cell extracts from days 1-4 of pregnancy with maximum PR immunostaining on day 2, followed by a marked diminution until its complete disappearance on day 5. When endometrial PR mRNA content was assessed by Northern blots, the results were similar to those of PR immunostaining, with maximal concentrations on the second day after mating. However, PR mRNA levels were still high on day 3, despite the concomitant decrease in immunostainable PR. Endometrial UG gene expression, on the other hand, exhibited a different time sequence. Thus, the UG content in uterine flushings progressively increased from day 3 after mating, reaching maximal levels on the fifth day. The endometrial UG mRNA content presented a similar profile, as its maximum concentration occurred on days 4-5. The overall results indicate that endometrial PR is down-regulated at both the mRNA and protein levels, possibly by endogenous progesterone during early pregnancy. The striking observation that maximal expression of endometrial UG gene products occurred when PR and its mRNA are no longer detectable suggests an important role for this progesterone-binding uterine protein during the preimplantation period. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: With the purpose of evaluating a new intercellular tracer, nickel-K ferrocyanide, we compared results yielded by lanthanum with information provided by nickel. This was done in the seminiferous epithelium of Holtzman rats of several postnatal ages and in a wild local seasonal breeder Galea musteloides. Tissues were studied with transmission electron microscopy and freezefracture replications. Nickel tracing proved to delineate cell contours more intensely and less interruptedly than lanthanum. With regard to seasonal variations in adult galea, the limits of the barrier were similar to those described in other mammals: spermatogonia, preleptotene, and leptotene spermatocytes were surrounded by the tracer in the basal compartment. The zygotenepachytenes were contained in the lumenal compartment and tracers were stopped at the inter - Sertoli cell tight junctions. During the inactive spermatogenic phase in winter, the seminiferous epithelium contained Sertoli cells and occasional germ cells, never beyond the spermatocyte stage. The tracer filled intercellular spaces, indicating that the barrier was incompetent. Some resting germ cells showed nuclear hyperchromasia, karyolysis, organelle loss, cell shrinkage, and cell fusion leading to a multinucleated cells. The inter-Sertoli tight junctions were scanty and had randomly oriented and discontinuous junctional strands. Moreover, inter - Sertoli cell gap junctions proliferated. During the active spermatogenic phase in summer, junctions were numerous. Their junctional strands were parallel to each other, and continuous.

    Molecular mechanisms of the antihormonal and antiimplantation effects of norethisterone and its a-ring reduced metabolites (1995)

    Notes: Norethisterone (NET) has been used as a contragestational postcoital agent. It is biotrans-formed to 5α dihydro-NET (5α-NET) and 3β,5α tetrahydro-NET (3β,5α-NET) in target tissues. The participation of these metabolites in NET effects is unknown. We have examined the antiimplantation and antiprogestational effects of NET and its metabolites, in adult mated female rabbits, by assessing the number of implantation sites and the expression products of the uteroglobin (UTG) gene in the uterus, and by comparing them with those of RU-486 and estradiol. Steroids were daily administered s.c. at several doses for 7 consecutive days, starting 24 hr after coitus. To assure that fertilization occurred in all animals, the presence of early pregnancy factor was determined. The results demonstrated that high doses (5 mg/kg) of NET reduced both implantation and the expression of the UTG gene. On the other hand, lower doses (1.5 mg/kg) of 5α-NET produced an antiimplantation effect and suppressed UTG synthesis and its mRNA. These effects were similar to those of RU-486. At lower doses (1 mg/kg), both estradiol and the estrogenic metabolite 3β,5α-NET were also effective in inhibiting implantation and UTG gene expression. The overall results suggest that NET metabolites exert antiimplantation and antiprogestational effects through their interaction with progesterone and estrogen receptors, and provide an explanation for the molecular mechanisms involved in the postcoital contraceptive action of NET. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Soluble aromatic polyimides based on 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane: Synthesis and properties (1996)

    Notes: Aromatic polyimides were synthesized from 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane (6F-OH diamine) and different aromatic dianhydrides by a one-step hightemperature polycondensation, or by a two-step procedure using either thermal or chemical imidization of poly(amic acids), PAA. The obtained polyimides were compared in terms of their chemical structure, molecular weight, mechanical and thermal properties. The reaction of 6F-OH diamine with different aromatic dianhydrides in amide solvents at room temperature resulted in the formation of PAA with moderate molecular weight (ηinh ≤ 0.7 g/dL). The thermal imidization of these PAAs led to brittle hydroxy polyimides (PI-6F-OH). In contrast, chemical imidization of similar PAAs in acetic anhydride and pyridine brought about flexible self-supporting polyimide films. The FTIR analysis indicated that the latter process was accompanied by an esterification of the OH groups in the diamine moieties, resulting in the formation of the polymers with side acetate groups (PI-6F-Ac). The high molecular weight hydroxy polyimides, suitable for preparation of films with good tensile properties, were synthesized by a one-step high-temperature polycondensation in phenolic solvents. All obtained polyimides were well soluble in common organic solvents. The highest solubility was observed for PI-6F-Ac. It was found by means of FTIR and TGA that the polyimides with the R group (R = OH or acetate) in orto position to the nitrogen atom in the diamine moiety underwent a rearrangement to benzoxazoles above 300°C. The starting temperature and conversion of this rearrangement reaction were controlled by the type of R group. The imide-to-benzoxazole rearrangement shifted to lower temperatures, and higher conversion was encountered for the polyimides with side acetate group, PI-6F-Ac, obtained by chemical imidization. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The bis(ethene) complex [Tp*Ir-(C2H4)2] (1*) (Tp* = tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazol-1-yl)hydroborato) undergoes thermal rearrangement to the hydrido-allyl complex [Tp*IrH(π3-C3H4Me)] (6*), through the intermediacy of the hydrido-vinyl complex [Tp*IrH(C2H3)(C2H4)] (2*). The overall conversion of 1* into 6* corresponds formally to the dimerisation of ethene by an unprecedented pathway that involves sequential C-H bond activation of a coordinated olefin molecule and C-C bond formation by coupling of the resulting vinyl and ethene moieties. Similar transformations have been observed for monosubstituted olefins like propene and 1-butene, while the internal alkene cis-2-butene experiences allylic activation of an sp3 C-H bond, which provides an alternative route to 6*. The extension of these investigations to the analogous complexes of the unsubstituted tris(pyrazolyl)hydroborato ligand Tp is also reported. Mechanistic studies on the formation of the C-C bond by coupling of the vinyl and the olefin ligands suggest the participation of a vinylidene complex (formed by α-H abstraction from the vinyl group), which then rearranges to an allene species. Evidence for the involvement of these and other key reaction intermediates is provided.

    Notes: Autogeneic bone marrow was implanted into an artificially created cavity in a segment of rat sciatic nerve, after removal of nerve fascicles, without damaging the epineurium or surrounding microcirculation. Under these conditions, the bone marrow induces capillary growth and forms granulation tissue from surrounding tissues, the behavior of pericytes being studied in the preformed (preexisting) postcapillary venules of the latter. Beginning 20 h after bone marrow implantation, the pericytes of the preexisting postcapillary venules hypertrophy, with shortening of their processes, prominent nucleoli, dispersal of ribosomes into their free form, fragmentation of basal lamina, and increased DNA synthesis. The number of contact surfaces between pericytes and endothelium is noticeably lower than in controls. Many pericytes are in mitosis. Cells with a shape transitional between pericytes and interstitial fibroblast-like cells appear. In some cases, Monastral Blue (MB) was used as a marker of the cells in preexisting venule walls of the graft bed. In the earlier stages of the experiment, the MB labelling is restricted to the cytoplasm of pericytes and endothelial cells of postcapillary venules, and to the macrophages that occur in the space between pericytes and endothelium. Furthermore, the marker continues to be observed, at a later stage, in some of the following cells: pericytes and endothelial cells of the newly formed vessels, macrophages migrating into the interstitium, transitional cells between pericytes and fibroblasts, and typical fibroblasts of the granulation tissue. The present study provides greater evidence that preformed microvasculature pericytes are substantially activated during postnatal angiogenesis and granulation tissue formation, suggesting that they may contribute to the origin of new pericytes and fibroblasts. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
