piperidine/infarction

The present study was carried out to examine whether acute experimental myocardial infarction affects the sympathetic transmission to vessels and the heart of pithed rats via a presynaptic mechanism and, if so, to check whether inhibitory presynaptic cannabinoid (CB) receptors and endocannabinoids

The cardiac electrophysiologic and antiarrhythmic actions of two Class III ketone- and alcohol-containing spirobenzopyran piperidine analogs, L-702,958 and L-706,000 [MK-499], respectively, were assessed in vitro and in vivo. L-702,958 and L-706,000 [MK-499] selectively blocked the rapidly

BACKGROUND The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is enhanced in the failing myocardium. We hypothesized that ROS were also increased in the limb skeletal muscles in heart failure. Methods and Results-- Myocardial infarction (MI) was created in mice by ligating the left coronary artery.

OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that intravenous administration of the potent sigma-receptor ligand 4-phenyl-1-(4-phenylbutyl) piperidine (PPBP) during transient focal ischemia would decrease postischemic brain infarction volume in rats. METHODS Rats underwent intravascular focal ischemia for 2

The IV administration of the potent sigma1-receptor ligand 4-phenyl-1-(4-phenylbutyl)piperidine (PPBP) provides neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia. We tested the hypothesis that prolonged, continuous administration of PPBP would provide further neuroprotection in a rat model of

The in vivo signaling of ischemic neuroprotection provided by sigma-receptor ligands remains unclear. Catecholamines have been implicated in the propagation of ischemic neuronal injury, and previous in vitro studies suggest that sigma ligands modulate dopaminergic neurotransmission. In this study,

The antiarrhythmic efficacy of a new and potent class III agent E4031 [1-[2-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)-ethyl]-4-(4- methylsulfonylaminobenzoyl)piperidine] was evaluated in several canine models of recent myocardial infarction. In anesthetized dogs with baseline inducible ventricular arrhythmias studied

OBJECTIVE The potent final sigma(1)-receptor ligand 4-phenyl-1-(4-phenylbutyl) piperidine (PPBP) provides neuroprotection in experimental stroke. We tested the hypothesis that PPBP attenuates striatal tissue damage after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) by a mechanism involving reduction of

OBJECTIVE We previously showed that the intravenous administration of the potent final sigma(1)-receptor ligand 4-phenyl-1-(4-phenylbutyl)-piperidine (PPBP) provides neuroprotection against transient focal cerebral ischemia and that the protection depends on treatment duration. We tested the

Sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane ion channel responsible for intracellular pH regulation. During myocardial ischemia, low pH activates NHE1 and causes increased intracellular calcium levels and aberrant cellular processes, leading to myocardial

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) constitutes an endogenous protective mechanism in which one or more brief periods of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion render the myocardium resistant to a subsequent more-sustained ischemic insult. Pharmacological preconditioning represents an ideal alternative of

The inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger during cardiac ischemia and reperfusion has been shown to be beneficial for the preservation of the cellular integrity and functional performance. The aim of the present investigation was to come up with potent and selective benzoylguanidines as NHE inhibitors

The synthesis of the title ketone has been completed via a type of Mannich reaction starting from 4- thianone . An X-ray diffraction analysis has revealed that the solid system is a chair-boat conformer with the sulfur atom in the boat portion of the bicyclic ring compound. Wolff- Kishner reduction

Excitatory amino acids may promote microtubular proteolysis observed in ischemic neuronal degeneration by calcium-mediated activation of calpain, a neutral protease. We tested this hypothesis in an animal model of focal cerebral ischemia without reperfusion. Spontaneously hypertensive rats were
