A novel delta-receptor selective compound, ARD-353 [4-((2R,5S)-4-(R)-(4-diethylcarbamoylphenyl)(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl)-2, 5-dimethylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)benzoic acid], was evaluated for activity on infarct size in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. ARD-353 was characterized as having delta
Postischemic brain damage in stroke is proceded with complicated pathological events, and so multimodal drug treatments may offer better therapeutic means for improving clinical outcomes. Here, we report robust neuroprotective effects of a novel compound,
A multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a new antiplatelet agent, triflusal (2-acetoxy-4-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid), in the prevention of nonfatal myocardial infarction and cardiac or vascular death (principal end-points) in patients with
Arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, can be metabolized to cardioprotective epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) by cytochrome P450 epoxygenases, which are subsequently hydrolyzed to less bioactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). To study the effects of
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of chronic treatment with c-AUCB {cis-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-ylureido)cyclohexyl-oxy]benzoic acid}, a novel inhibitor of sEH (soluble epoxide hydrolase), which is responsible for the conversion of biologically active EETs (epoxyeicosatrienoic
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) diminishes vasodilatory and neuroprotective effects of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids by hydrolyzing them to inactive dihydroxy metabolites. The primary goals of this study were to investigate the effects of acute sEH inhibition by
Apoptosis is a significant contributor to myocardial cell death during ischemia-reperfusion and swelling-activated chloride channels (I(Cl,swell)) contribute to apoptosis. However, the relationship between I(Cl,swell) ischemia-reperfusion and apoptosis remains unknown. To further investigate this,
Background: Soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHi) have anti-arrhythmic effects, and we previously found that the novel sEHi t-AUCB (trans-4[-4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-cyclohexyloxy]-benzoic acid) significantly inhibited
BACKGROUND
Isoflurane exerts cardioprotective effects that mimic the ischemic preconditioning phenomenon. Generation of free radicals is implicated in ischemic preconditioning. The authors investigated whether isoflurane-induced preconditioning may involve release of free radicals.
METHODS
Sixty-one
BACKGROUND
Shed membrane microparticles circulate in the peripheral blood of nonischemic (NI) patients and patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We investigated whether or not these microparticles would affect endothelium-dependent responses.
RESULTS
Rat aortic rings with endothelium were
BACKGROUND
It has been demonstrated that soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHIs) are protective against ischemia-induced lethal arrhythmias, but the mechanisms involved are unknown. Previously, we showed that sEHIs might reduce the incidence of ischemic arrhythmias by suppressing microRNA-1
Recently, the presence of the chymase-dependent angiotensin (Ang) II-generating system in hamsters, dogs, monkeys, as well as human cardiovascular tissues has been identified. We have reported that the activation of cardiac chymase was more prominent than that of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)
Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) signaling after stroke may reduce brain injury, but this effect will depend on the levels of receptor and cofactors. Here, we showed that the direct effect of PPARgamma signaling to protect neurons from ischemic injury
OBJECTIVE
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear protein actively secreted by immune cells and passively released by necrotic cells that initiates pro-inflammatory signalling through binding to the receptor for advance glycation end-products. HMGB1 has been established as a key inflammatory
The objective of this study was to examine the role of chloride (Cl-) channels in the myocardial protection of ischemic preconditioning (IP). Isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes were preconditioned with 10-minute simulated ischemia (SI) and 20-minute simulated reperfusion (SR) or not preconditioned
