2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate (DMAEA) was grafted from the surface of alkoxyamine-functionalized crosslinked poly(styrene-co-chloromethylstyrene) microspheres by nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP). Latex particles (∼60 nm diameter) bearing chloromethyl groups were synthesized by...
2,2-Dimethyl- and 2-benzyl-2-methyl-1-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)-1-phosphaethenes were employed as ligand of mononuclear chlorogold(I) complexes, which catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,6-enyne affording vinylcyclopentene exclusively in the absence of silver co-catalyst. The reaction mechanism...
BackgroundAmino acids are the essential building blocks of proteins and, therefore, living organisms. While the focus often lies on the canonical or proteinogenic amino acids, there is also a large number of non-canonical amino acids to explore. Some of them are part of toxins or antibiotics in ...
Formalin injected subcutaneously into the paw is a widely used model of pain. This procedure evokes a short-lasting period of flinching (phase 1) and a long-lasting period of intense flinching (phase 2) following a very short period of quiescence. Phase 2 has been extensively used to support the...
The purpose of this study was to prepare tegaserod maleate (TM) pH-dependent tablets and evaluate their advantages as a sustained release delivery system. TM, insoluble in water and unstable in gastric milieu, was formulated into pH-dependent tablets coated with combinations of two methacrylic a...
Infusion of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in conscious rats results in a sustained (up to 30 days) fall in blood pressure. This is accompanied by an increase in splanchnic blood flow. Because the splanchnic circulation is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system, we hypothesized that 5-HT would:...
In order to characterize the receptor subtypes involved in 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced circular muscle motor responses of the guinea pig gastric antrum and corpus, we examined the effects of several antagonists in vitro. 5-HT evoked concentration-dependent contractions of the gastric antr...
Using a number of agonist and antagonist compounds, we attempted to characterize the responses and receptors involved in the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the in situ blood perfused rat mesentery. An intra-arterial (i.a.) bolus injection of 5-HT increased mesenteric perfusion pressure...
The changes in the firing rate and firing pattern of pyramidal neurons in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the effects of selective 5-hydroxytryptamine-1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonist (R)-(+)-8-hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino)tetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT) and antagonist N-(2-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-...
The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on peripheral nociceptive fibres were studied in an in vitro preparation of the neonatal rat spinal cord with attached tail. The activation of peripheral fibres in the tail by noxious stimuli (bradykinin, capsaicin, heat) was recorded as a depolarization of a v...
We evaluated the renal vascular effects of serotonin in Nω-Nitro-l-arginine-hypertensive rats (L-NAME, 30 mg/kg/day, administered over 21 days in drinking water), a model of systemic hypertension with glomerular capillary hypertension and renal disease due to chronic blockade of endogenous synt...
The presence of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) in pancreatic endocrine cells is well established. Nevertheless, recent advances are only now unraveling the signaling network involving 5-HT that partly regulates the release of hormones emanating from the islets of Langerhans. It is widely...
We investigated the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of loganin against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced neuronal toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. The neuroprotective effect of loganin was investigated by treating SH-SY5Y cells with H2O2 and then measuring the reduction in H2O2-induced apo...
Accumulating evidence indicates that uncontrolled diabetes leads to the progression of diabetic complications such as liver disorder. The present study was carried out to elucidate the protective role of loganin extracted from Corni Fructus against hepatic oxidative stress caused by type 2 diabe...
AimsDiabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in patients with diabetes. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) play a prominent role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. We herein evaluated the effects of loganin on diabetic nephropathy in vivo.
Loganin is an iridoid glycoside found in the Flos lonicerae, Fruit cornus, and Strychonos nux vomica. We investigated the effect of loganin on learning and memory impairments induced by scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.), a muscarinic antagonist, using the Y-maze, passive avoidance, and the Morris wa...
Although the incidence rate of dementia is rapidly growing in the aged population, therapeutic and preventive reagents are still suboptimal. Various model systems are used for the development of such reagents in which scopolamine is one of the favorable pharmacological tools widely applied.Logan...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neurons degeneration and muscular atrophy. There is no effective SMA treatment. Loganin is a botanical candidate with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, glucose-lowering and anti-diabetic nephr...
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, which, in its most severe form, is associated with multi-organ failure and death. Loganin, a major iridoid glycoside obtained from Corni fructus, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-shock effects. However, the effe...
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) plays a pathogenic role in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Loganin, an iridoid glucoside compound was isolated from Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of loganin on DN and to elucidate the potential mechanism. ...
