Hydroxyl radicals (.OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O2.-) are known to play cardinal roles in cell killing and various types of cell damage. In order to elucidate the mechanism of the involvement of both free radicals on apoptosis, the correlation between anti-apoptotic effects and free radical
It was reported recently that the thermohaemolysis of mammalian erythrocytes is related to a thermo-induced membrane event of permeability barrier impairment in which the inactivation of membrane proteins is implicated. Here, the influence of different n-alkanols, methanol to octanol, on the onset
We have employed the nontoxic fluorescent membrane probe, N-sigma-dansyl-L-lysine (DL) to study the effect of mild (45.5 degrees C) heat shock on a variety of mammalian cell lines. It has been previously proposed by Humphries and Lovejoy (1983) that DL selectively partitions into (and diffuses
The potency of a series of 2,4,5-ring substituted phenylisopropylamines was examined using the rabbit hyperthermia assay. An excellent correlation (r = 0.99) was found between the rabbit hyperthermic and human psychotomimetic potencies. In the hyperthermic model, the
OBJECTIVE
Relevance of the preclinical pharmacodynamic, toxicity and pharmacokinetic parameters predicting the clinical potency of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was evaluated.
METHODS
Data for oral potencies of 24 NSAIDs in rats were collected from the literature and from New Drug
