A panel of 32 hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reactive with African horsesickness virus serotype 4 (AHSV-4) has been developed. Four of the MAbs recognized the major core antigen VP7, twenty recognized the outer capsid protein VP2 and eight reacted with the non-struct...

The entire nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the M6 gene of African horsesickness virus (AHSV) serotype nine has been determined from four overlapping cDNA clones. The gene was found to be 1566 bp long, encoding a protein of 505 amino acids with a molecular weight of 56737 Da and a n...

African horsesickness virus (AHSV) an important disease of equines is caused by an orbivirus. Because of the need to contain the spread of the disease it is often essential to make a rapid diagnosis. For this purpose an ELISA capable of detecting viral antigen in animal tissue and in cell cultur...

The Palyam serogroup-specific antigen, VP7, of Chuzan virus strain K-47 was expressed in insect cells by a recombinant baculovirus. The expressed protein appeared as a single band of 38 kDa corresponding to the predicted molecular mass of Chuzan virus VP7 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresi...

A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for rapid detection of African horsesickness virus (AHSV) in infected spleens or cell culture supernatant was developed. This method uses two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) which recognize two non-overlapping epitopes of the major core protein (...

VP7, the sero-group common antigen, of African horsesickness virus (AHSV-4) was expressed in insect cells by recombinant baculovirus. To develop a specific diagnostic method, monoclonal antibody (Mab) against VP7 was prepared and investigated as diagnostic reagent with the baculovirus expressed ...

Non-structural protein NS2 and core protein VP7 of African horsesickness virus serotype 3 (AHSV3) were expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells by recombinant baculoviruses containing the relevant genes. These proteins were purified and analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western ...

Considering the complementary mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors and angiotensin inhibitors on kidney, it is postulated that combination of both agents could afford greater protection against diabetic renal injury. So, we investigated renal protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, alone...

The work is based on pulsatile principles to deliver a programmed dose of Irbesartan, an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist for chronotherapy of hypertension induced by excessive secretion of aldosterone, thereby lower the blood pressure at early morning. Solid dispersion of Irbesartan, a BCS cl...

AimsDiabetes-associated osteoporosis is mainly caused by the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) has anabolic bone effects on the physicochemical properties of the bone in diabetes. We hypothesized that ARB could inhi...

The interactions of irbesartan (IRB) and irbesartan–2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) complex with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers have been explored utilizing an array of biophysical techniques ranging from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small angle X-ray sca...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic that is used frequently for treatment of various types of malignancies. Hepatotoxicity is one of the serious complications of DOX. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of different doses of irbesartan on doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxici...

Irbesartan (IBS) is an inhibitor of angiotensin II receptor. In order to study the thermal stability and the thermal decomposition mechanism of IBS, the thermal decomposition processes of IBS in nitrogen and in air atmospheres were studied by means of thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scann...

The effects of candesartan and irbesartan, antagonists of the type I angiotensin II receptor, were investigated on allergic asthma. The antigen-induced degranulation was measured by evaluating β-hexosaminidase activity in vitro. Additionally, a murine ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma model was...

Irbesartan (IBS) is a tetrazole derivative and antihypertensive drug that has two interconvertible structures, 1H- and 2H-tautomers. The difference between them lies in the protonation of the tetrazole ring. In the solid-state, both tautomers can be isolated as crystal forms A (1H-tautomer) and ...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of formulation variables on the drying of nanocrystalline suspensions either via bead layering or spray granulation and develop mini-tablets from the dried nanocrystalline powders. Irbesartan (crystalline Form B), a poorly soluble drug sub...

Angiotensin II receptor blocker has exhibited their renal protective benefits in diabetic nephropathy. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of adding atorvastatin to irbesartan in early diabetic nephropathy. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Lib...

Biphenyltetrazoles are recognized privileged structures. Among them, the therapeutically important class of sartans displays antagonistic activity on AT1 receptors. We have developed a method for anchoring tetrazole derivatives via the heterocycle on a hydroxylated resin using zinc triflate. New...

We have elaborated a one-pot three-component assembly of trityl olmesartan medoxomil starting from commercially available ethyl 4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate, 5-(4′-(bromomethyl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)-1-trityl-1H-tetrazole and 4-(chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol...

Publisher SummaryThis chapter presents the synthesis and chemistry of five-membered ring system containing more than one nitrogen atom. Diazo, diazonium, and azo compounds can be employed as precursors in the preparation of pyrazoles and indazoles. A series of 3-acyl-4-amino-1-aryl-1H-pyrazoles ...
