TL;DR: This is the first time it has been shown that aldehydes generated via a supported Weinreb amide could be used directly as reagents in chemical library synthesis employing moisture-sensitive reactions.
Abstract: This paper describes a novel supported Weinreb amide resin that facilitates parallel synthesis of aldehydes and ketones on a scale useful for chemical library synthesis. This new resin makes it possible to produce custom aldehydes and ketones from a wide range of carboxylic acids, including N-BOC-amino acids. A variety of commercially unavailable aldehydes are easily synthesized in parallel and obtained in high purity via a simple filtration workup, thus facilitating parallel synthesis of lead optimization libraries that typically require custom synthesis of aldehyde intermediates for development of structure−activity relationships. To demonstrate the utility of this method, we synthesized a small library based on a supported Horner−Emmons reagent. This is the first time it has been shown that aldehydes generated via a supported Weinreb amide could be used directly as reagents in chemical library synthesis employing moisture-sensitive reactions. The analogous solution reaction is not suited for parallel s...

TL;DR: It is shown that excitotoxic cell death, which is associated with pathological neurodegenerative processes, can display morphological and biochemical features characteristic of apoptosis, a mode of cell death typical of physiological neuronal elimination during development.
Abstract: We show that excitotoxic cell death, which is associated with pathological neurodegenerative processes, can display morphological and biochemical features characteristic of apoptosis, a mode of cell death typical of physiological neuronal elimination during development. Cortical neurons cultured in the absence of serum, stimulated with NMDA, glutamate, or quisqualate after 3–5 days in vitro, showed significant degeneration. This death was blocked by 1 µM MK-801, indicating that it was mediated by the activation of NMDA receptors. Dying cells displayed an apoptotic morphology, characterized by cytoplasm and chromatin condensation. No internucleosomal DNA degradation was observed, confirming that morphological changes of apoptosis can be dissociated from DNA laddering. Inhibitors of protein or RNA synthesis abolished cell death, and the protective effect of cycloheximide was similar when the drug was applied 2 h before or 8 h after glutamate. These experiments suggest the participation of active gene transcription in the mechanism of death. We thus analyzed the modulation of transcription factors in dying cells using electrophoretic mobility shift assays. The level of factors binding to the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-responsive element (TRE) displayed a late and sustained increase preceding neuronal death, which was not found for factors complexing the Sp1 P, Oct, and USF binding sites. These results raise the possibility that apoptosis is one of the mechanisms of death in the pathologies linked to excitotoxicity and that activation of TRE-binding factors could play a role in these processes.

TL;DR: A randomized, double-blind, comparative trial of zopiclone versus nitrazepam was conducted in 74 geriatric chronic insomniac patients, finding that zopicLone was devoid of effect on neurological function and the condition on awakening was better with zopic lone.
Abstract: A randomized, double-blind, comparative trial of zopiclone versus nitrazepam was conducted in 74 geriatric chronic insomniac patients. Following a 7-day wash-out period, two parallel groups, successively received a placebo for 7 days, then either 7.5 mg zopiclone or 5 mg nitrazepam for another 7-day period. Efficacy on sleep was assessed by a sleep analogue scale and the Spiegel Sleep Questionnaire, residual effects by psychometric tests and tolerance by a standardized question, as well as by clinical and laboratory tests. Zopiclone and nitrazepam were more active than placebo on all tests of efficacy. In contrast with nitrazepam, zopiclone was devoid of effect on neurological function. In addition, the condition on awakening was better with zopiclone.
