Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrating potent and selective estrogen inhibition with the nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor CGS 16949A.
TL;DR: The data suggest that CGS 16949A may serve as a potent and selective agent for modulating estrogen-dependent functions and was neither androgenic nor estrogenic in rats using standard bioassays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diclofenac sodium (GP 45840, voltaren), a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase
TL;DR: Diclofenac sodium, the sodium salt of o-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-phenylacetic acid, is a potent inhibitor of sheep seminal vesicle prostaglandin synthetase in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of cardiovascular and thyroxine-suppressing activities of L-T3 by liver targeting with cholic acid.
Zouhair F. Stephan,E.C. Yurachek,Robin Sharif,Jong M. Wasvary,Steele Ronald Edward,Colin Howes +5 more
TL;DR: From these results, it is clear that, while L-T3 was equally potent on HC, CV and TS activities, the HC potency of CGH 509A was at least 15 and 6 times greater than itsCV and TS potencies, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of prostaglandin synthase by pirprofen: Studies with sheep seminal vesicle enzyme
Edmond C. Ku,Jong M. Wasvary +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts in large part for the pharmacological effects of pirprofen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of potent lipid-lowering activity by a thyromimetic agent devoid of cardiovascular and thermogenic effects
Zouhair F. Stephan,E.C. Yurachek,Robin Sharif,Jong M. Wasvary,Kenneth S. Leonards,Chii Whei Hu,Thomas H. Hintze,Steele Ronald Edward +7 more
TL;DR: A potent lipid-lowering thyromimetic devoid of cardiac and thermogenic activity and free of any cardiovascular effects was identified based on its ability to preferentially access and bind the nuclear fraction of hepatocytes over that of myocytes in culture.
