Intravascular clot formation is an important factor in a number of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the prevention of blood coagulation has become a major target for new therapeutic agents. One attractive approach is the inhibition of factor Xa (FXa), which is a key enzyme in coagulation cascade responsible for the generation of thrombin by limited proteolysis of its zymogen, prothrombin. We have investigated 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives, containing a 4-(piperidino)pyridine group in place of guanidino and/or amidino groups, and discovered compound M55113 (30a: 4-[(6-Chloro-2-naphthalenyl)sulfonyl]-1-[[1-(4-pyridinyl)-4-piperidinyl]methyl]piperazinone), as a potent inhibitor of FXa (IC50=0.06 microM) with high selectivity for FXa over trypsin and thrombin. 相似文献
The inclusion complexation of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (Calix-S6) with three kinds of phenothiazine dyes was studied spectrophotometrically in a mixture
of a room-temperature ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) and ethanol. We have determined the association constants of Calix-S6 with
phenothiazine dyes under external static pressure up to 767 bar in the [bmim]BF4-ethanol and alcohol-water mixtures. With increasing external pressure, the inclusion equilibrium in the alcohol-water mixtures
was shifted to the dissociation side. Conversely, the inclusion equilibrium of methylene blue (MB) and azure A (AA) in the
ionic liquid mixture was shifted to the association side. From the analysis of the pressure effects, the reaction volumes
ΔV for inclusion complexation were estimated as −7 to 9 cm3 mol−1 in the [bmim]BF4-ethanol mixture and 20–32 cm3 mol−1 in the alcohol-water mixtures. Based on the results, we have suggested that there is a competing complexation between the
included dye and [bmim]BF4 molecules in the ionic liquid. 相似文献
Some of the Zingiberaceae herbs are known to be useful as stomachics. Water extracts and methanol extracts of eight such herbs were examined in intact unanesthetized rabbits for their effect on gastric secretion. Oral administration of either water extracts or methanol extracts caused a significant decrease in gastric secretion. A significant effect of these extracts appeared at 3 h after administration. The effect of water extracts on gastric secretion was very similar to that of cimetidine, with a significant decrease in acid output. The effect of the methanol extracts was primarily observed as decreased pepsin output. 相似文献
Hepatic artery of dogs was embolized with cisplatin (CDDP) albumin microspheres containing chitin and chitosan to investigate the in vivo CDDP release kinetics from CDDP albumin microspheres, the CDDP cumulative characteristics in the liver, and the influence of microsphere administration on hepatic tissue. Results showed that changes in blood CDDP content were dependent on CDDP albumin microsphere type and that release kinetics were better sustained when chitin was added to the microspheres or when the microspheres were treated with chitosan. In particular, the administration of CDDP in the chitin-containing CDDP chitosan albumin microspheres showed a blood CDDP content of approximately 0.26 micrograms Pt/ml 14 d after administration. The administration of chitin-containing or chitosan treated CDDP microspheres showed a CDDP content in the hepatic tissue of 0.14 to 0.23 micrograms Pt/g 28 d after administration. They also showed better control of CDDP release than those without chitin or chitosan treatment. No CDDP influence on hepatic tissue was observed. We conclude that, even in vivo, chitin and chitosan are effective embolic materials. 相似文献
GABA is a major neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Data on GABA and its analogues calculated by using the ab initio and the MNDO method were compared with data obtained experimentally. The structures of GABA analogues calculated by the ab initio method agree well with the experimental data. This finding suggests the high reliability of this method. However, the structures of GABA analogues calculated by the MNDO method reflect only some aspects of the experimental data. Therefore the MNDO method should be used only for carefully selected chemical compounds.
The amino group in GABA and its analogues was proved to be the major active site. The electrostatic potential around the amino group in these compounds seems to be related to their biological activity. The difference in the electrostatic potential between the receptor binding molecules and the neuronal uptake molecules suggests that the structure of post-synaptic receptors might differ from that of uptake receptors. This finding suggests that there are at least two GABA-A receptors. GABA molecules seem to have a high potential for binding to the two receptors because they are highly flexible and can readily change their conformation. These results indicate a high reliability of the data calculated by the molecular orbital method and suggest that this method provides us with useful information that cannot be obtained experimentally. 相似文献
cis-1,4-Polybutadiene and polypentenamer having pendant functional groups such as formyl, aldoxime, hydroxymethyl, or cinnamoyloxymethyl groups have been prepared, and some of their properties were investigated in terms of structural effect on physical properties of these polymers. cis-1, 4-Polybutadiene and polypentenamer having a different content of formyl group were prepared by the hydroformylation reaction with rhodium catalyst under mild conditions. The pendant formyl group was reduced to a hydroxymethyl group by using various reducing agents such as sodium borohydride or sodium trimethoxyborohydride which were effective to avoid a crosslinking reaction among the formyl groups. Glass transition temperature of polypentenamer having hydroxymethyl groups increased with increasing the content of the hydroxymethyl groups in the polymer. Cinnamoyl group was introduced into the polypentenamer having hydroxymethyl groups by reacting with cinnamoyl chloride so as to prepare a photosensitive rubber. The relationships between the photosensitivity of the cinnamoylated polypentenamer and the mobility of polymer main chains have been elucidated. A linear relationship between the photodimerization rate constant and the difference between ultraviolet (UV) irradiation temperature and the glass transition temperature of the polymer was found. It has become apparent that the photosensitivity of cinnamoylated polypentenamer can be estimated by the glass transition temperature of the original polymer, UV irradiation temperature, activation energy of the dimerization, and γ, which is a coefficient of the relationship between the photosensitive group concentration and the glass transition temperature of the polymer. 相似文献
Chiral 1-substituted isoquinoline derivatives, which were obtained by the reaction using alanine derivatives as chiral auxiliaries, were transformed to (S)-2,3,9,10,11-pentamethoxyhomoprotoberberine (7) and a synthetic intermediate for O-methylkreysigine (9) in good yields and high stereoselectivity. The corresponding chiral allyl derivative of isoquinoline was transformed to a pyrrolidinoisoquinoline (16) in a highly enantioselective manner. 相似文献
