TL;DR: It is suggested that MPCA and PPCA cause antipyresis, which is similar to that caused by dipyrone, and may be useful antipyretic agents.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, although diazepam and the new benzodiazepines have chemical differences, they both presented an inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase and ATPDase activities.
Abstract: This study examines the effect of new 1,5 benzodiazepines on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and ATPDase (apyrase) activities from cerebral cortex of adult rats Simultaneously, the effects of the classical 1,4-benzodiazepine on these enzymes were also studied for comparative purpose The compounds 2-trichloromethyl-4-phenyl-3H-1,5-benzodiazepin and 2-trichloromethyl-4-(p-methyl-phenyl)-3H-1,5-benzodiazepin significantly inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity (p < 001) when tested in the range of 018–035 mM The inhibition caused by these two new benzodiazepines was noncompetitive in nature Similarly, at concentrations ranging from 0063 to 025 mM, the 1,5 benzodiazepines inhibited ATP and ADP hydrolysis by synaptosomes from cerebral cortex (p < 001) However, the inhibition of nucleotide hydrolysis was uncompetitive in nature Our results suggest that, although diazepam and the new benzodiazepines have chemical differences, they both presented an inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase and ATPDase activities

TL;DR: This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, i.e., ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre- and postjunctional membranes at neuroeffector junctions and synapses, as well as acting as a trophic factor during development and regeneration.
Abstract: This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, i.e., ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre- and postjunctional membranes at neuroeffector junctions and synapses, as well as acting as a trophic factor during development and regeneration. Emphasis is placed on the physiology and pathophysiology of ATP, but extracellular roles of its breakdown product, adenosine, are also considered because of their intimate interactions. The early history of the involvement of ATP in autonomic and skeletal neuromuscular transmission and in activities in the central nervous system and ganglia is reviewed. Brief background information is given about the identification of receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines and about ATP storage, release, and ectoenzymatic breakdown. Evidence that ATP is a cotransmitter in most, if not all, peripheral and central neurons is presented, as well as full accounts of neurotransmission and neuromodulation in autonomic and sensory ganglia and in the brain and spinal cord. There is coverage of neuron-glia interactions and of purinergic neuroeffector transmission to nonmuscular cells. To establish the primitive and widespread nature of purinergic neurotransmission, both the ontogeny and phylogeny of purinergic signaling are considered. Finally, the pathophysiology of purinergic neurotransmission in both peripheral and central nervous systems is reviewed, and speculations are made about future developments.

TL;DR: The accumulated data on the biological activity of ionic liquids, including their antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, are discussed in view of possible applications in drug synthesis and drug delivery systems.
Abstract: Ionic liquids are remarkable chemical compounds, which find applications in many areas of modern science. Because of their highly tunable nature and exceptional properties, ionic liquids have become essential players in the fields of synthesis and catalysis, extraction, electrochemistry, analytics, biotechnology, etc. Apart from physical and chemical features of ionic liquids, their high biological activity has been attracting significant attention from biochemists, ecologists, and medical scientists. This Review is dedicated to biological activities of ionic liquids, with a special emphasis on their potential employment in pharmaceutics and medicine. The accumulated data on the biological activity of ionic liquids, including their antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, are discussed in view of possible applications in drug synthesis and drug delivery systems. Dedicated attention is given to a novel active pharmaceutical ingredient-ionic liquid (API-IL) concept, which suggests using traditional drugs in ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the selection of the best choice of reaction conditions and ligand of this class for the most commonly encountered and practically important substrate combinations for Pd-catalyzed amination reactions is discussed.
Abstract: Dialkylbiaryl phosphines are a valuable class of ligand for Pd-catalyzed amination reactions and have been applied in a range of contexts. This perspective attempts to aid the reader in the selection of the best choice of reaction conditions and ligand of this class for the most commonly encountered and practically important substrate combinations.
