    Structural, immunocytochemical and initial biochemical characterization of NAOH-extracted gap junctions from an insect, Heliothis virescens (1993)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Subcellular fractions enriched in gap junctions with an ultrastructure similar to those in intact insect tissue have been obtained by extracting crude membranes from the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) with 2.5 mM NaOH. n-Octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (OG) was used to further purify integral membrane proteins in the NaOH-extracted fractions. A polyclonal antibody (R16) is described that specifically labels nonextracted and NaOH-extracted gap junctions in cell fractions by electron microscope immunocytochemistry. R16 immunostaining of sectioned Heliothis testis at the light-microscope level yields a pattern of immunoreactivity consistent with the distribution of gap junctions in the tissue. R16 identifies a 40-kDa protein as a candidate gap junction protein on immunoblots of crude membrane, NaOH-extracted and NaOH/OG-extracted fractions.

    Notes: Summary The coprodaeum of the domestic hen maintained on a low-NaCl diet adapts by enhanced sodium transport. This study examines the adaptive response at the single cell and whole organ levels. Surface areas of apical (microvillous) and basolateral plasma membranes of columnar absorptive epithelial cells were estimated by use of ultrastructural stereology. The activities of succinic dehydrogenase (a mitochondrial enzyme) and ouabain-sensitive, potassium-dependent paranitrophenyl phosphatase (a sodium pump enzyme) were determined in tissue homogenates. Sodium, potassium-ATPase (pump enzyme) activity in cell membranes was localized by ultrastructural cytochemistry. Apical and basolateral membranes responded differently. In high-NaCl hens, the membrane signature of the average cell was 32 μm2 (apical), 932 μm2 (lateral) and 17 μm2 (basal). Cells from low-NaCl hens had more apical membrane (49 μm2 per cell) but essentially the same area of basolateral membrane. However, total surfaces per organ were greater for all membranes. Sodium pump enzymes were localized in basolateral membranes. Enzyme activities per unit mitochondrial volume and per unit basolateral membrane surface were higher in low-NaCl birds. These findings are discussed in the context of known mechanisms of transcellular sodium transport via apical ion channels and basolateral pumps.

    Immunocytochemical and biochemical studies of histamine in the retina of the turtle Pseudemys scripta (1992)

    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary A combination of immunocytochemical and biochemical methods was used to study histamine in the turtle retina. Histamine-like immunoreactivity was localized within paraboloids of certain cone photoreceptors by use of two different antisera directed against histamine. Preincubation of eyecups in Ringer's containing 10 μM histamine selectively increased the immunoreactivity of these photoreceptor paraboloids. The present localization of histamine in paraboloids indicated that, although histamine is in photoreceptors of the turtle retina, it may play some metabolic or neuromodulatory role, and not function as a neurotransmitter.

    ISSN: 1573-739X
    Keywords: Agonists ; Antagonists ; Biochemistry ; Central nervous system ; Ligands ; Pharmacology ; Receptors, histamine
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The role of histamine in brain function is discussed. A brief review is presented on the three types of histamine receptors with regard to their biochemistry and functions, as well as on specific ligands, both agonists and antagonists. It is concluded that several aspects of the pharmacology of histamine in the central nervous system are still a matter of empirism and speculations. The recent publications on the brain-penetrating H2 antagonist zolantidine and the selective H3 agonists and antagonists are expected to contribute to the knowledge of the histaminergic pathways in the brain. Therapeutical areas within the central nervous system are related to behaviour (including wake-sleep), neuroendocrinal processes, the control of muscle activity and cerebral circulation.

    Notes: Abstract From a pharmacochemical point of view the existing anti-leprotics as well as possible innovations in the chemotherapy of leprosy are discussed. Of the main anti-leprotics, which are used nowadays — dapsone, rifampicin, clofazimine, isoniazide, ethionamide and prothionamide — the mechanism of action, the main problems in their application and possibilities to develop improved variants are reviewed. Based on the chemistry ofMycobacterium leprae, the target systems for new anti-leprotics are identified. These systems include the cell wall, the catabolism of reactive oxygen species, the metabolisms of carbon sources, the amino acid metabolism and the uptake of iron. Two possible new lead structures from other fields, 4-quinolones and mycobacterial ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors are presented.

    The beta-adrenoceptor-adenylate cyclase complex (1986)
    Springer
    Pharmacy world & science 8 (1986), S. 209-222 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-739X
    Keywords: Biochemistry ; Pharmacology ; Receptors, adrenergic, beta ; Review
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Developments in the receptor concept have greatly influenced our current knowledge of the beta-adrenoceptor. The triad of pharmacology, organic chemistry and studies in structure-activity relationships is discussed along historical lines, as it has been and still is an impetus for progress in the biochemistry of ligand-receptor interactions. With respect to the beta-adrenoceptor complex these advances which have led to a model in which three protein structures are functionally interacting within the frame of the cell wall: the beta-adrenoceptor, the regulatory guanine nucleotide binding protein, and the enzyme adenylate cyclase, are reviewed.

    Bioreductive activation of quinones: A mixed blessing (1991)
    Springer
    Pharmacy world & science 13 (1991), S. 123-126 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-739X
    Keywords: Alkylation ; Antineoplastic agents ; Biochemistry ; Cytotoxicity ; Oxidation-reduction ; Quinones
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Quinones can be metabolized by various routes: substitution or reductive addition with nucleophilic compounds (mainly glutathione and protein thiol groups), one-electron reduction (mainly by NADPH: cytochrome P-450 reductase) and two-electron reduction (by D,T-diaphorase). During reduction semiquinone radicals and hydroquinones are formed, which can transfer electrons to molecular oxygen, resulting in the formation of reactive oxygen intermediates and back-formation of the parent quinone (redox cycling). Reaction of semiquinones and reactive oxygen intermediates with DNA and other macromolecules can lead to acute cytotoxicity and/or to mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. The enhanced DNA-alkylating properties of certain hydroquinones are exploited in the bioreductive alkylating quinones. Acute cytotoxicity of quinones appears to be related to glutathione depletion and to interaction with mitochondria and subsequent disturbance of cellular energy homoeostasis and calcium homoeostasis. These effects can to a certain extent be predicted from the electron-withdrawing and electron-donating effects of the substituents on the quinone nucleus of the molecule. Prediction of cytostatic potential remains much more complicated, because reduction of the quinones and the reactivity of the reduction products with DNA are modulated by the prevailing oxygen tension and by the prevalence of reducing enzymes in tumour cells.

    Didanosine, a new antiretroviral drug (1992)
    Springer
    Pharmacy world & science 14 (1992), S. 297-304 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-739X
    Keywords: Biochemistry ; Didanosine ; Drug evaluation ; Pharmacokinetics ; Pharmacology ; Side effects
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract In this article the literature about didanosine, an antiretroviral drug, is reviewed. The mechanism of action, biochemical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and clinical results of phase-I trials are discussed. Serious adverse effects such as pancreatitis and peripheral neuropathy have occurred in these trials. An antiretroviral effect was observed in terms of an increase in CD4+ lymphocytes and a decrease in p24 antigen levels in HIV-infected individuals. Didanosine seems to be a promising drug against HIV infection, but knowledge about its clinical efficacy is scanty.

    Notes: A morphological study was made to examine the friction and wear mechanisms of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene in air and water by means of transmission electron microscopy of a carbon replica film of a very thin layer of the polymer surface slid against a steel ball. Electron diffractions revealed that a molecular orientation with a typical fiber pattern was formed in the friction in air, while thin ribbon-like crystals with particular crystal orientations were formed in water in a way that the sliding took place on the crystallographic a - c plane, giving rise to a low friction coefficient of the polymer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurde der relative Wirkungsgrad von fünf handelsüblichen Stabilisatoren bei Photooxidation und thermischer Alterung von Polypropylen (PP) anhand der Änderungen der mechanischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Es wurden Polypropylenproben mit unterschiedlichem Anteil an Cyasorb UV-531 hergestellt (bezeichnet als PC0.5-31, PC1-31, PC1.5-31 und PC2-31). Der Einfluß der Photooxidation auf das thermische Verhalten ist mit Hilfe der Differentialscanningkalorimetrie und durch thermogravimetrische Analysen untersucht worden. 2-Hydroxy-4-n-octyloxybenzophenon (2 Gew.-%) war am wirksamsten, Polypropylen, gegen Verfärbung und Brüchigkeit zu stabilisieren. Bei einer Probe mit 1% Stabilisatorzusatz fanden sich nach 32 h Bestrahlung noch 81% des ursprünglichen Wertes der Streckgrenze gegenüber 18% bei unstabilisiertem PP.
    Notes: The relative effectiveness of five commercially available stabilizers on the photooxidation and thermal ageing of polypropylene (PP) was investigated by following changes in mechanical properties. Samples of PP containing different percentages of Cyasorb UV-531 were prepared (designated as PC0.5-31, PC1-31, PC1.5-31, and PC2-31, respectively). The effect of photooxidation on thermal behaviour was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. 2-Hydroxy-4-n-octyloxy benzophenone (2% w/w) was most effective in stabilizing PP towards discolouration and brittleness. After 32 h irradiation, 81% retention in yield strength was observed in case of PC1-31 against 18% in case of PP.
