benzamide/fever

Dengue fever is a major public health concern in many tropical and sub-tropical regions. The development of agents that are able to inhibit the dengue virus (DENV) is therefore of utmost importance. This study focused on the synthesis of dual acting hybrids comprising structural features of known

A series of 3-(pyridin-2-yl-ethynyl)benzamide negative allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5 NAMs) have been prepared. Starting from HTS hit 1 (IC(50): 926 nM), potent mGluR5 NAMs showing excellent potencies (IC(50)s<50 nM) and good physicochemical profiles were

We report on the individual and combined effects of adriamycin (ADR) and hyperthermia (HYP) on the sedimentation behavior of L1210 mouse leukemia cell nucleoids in neutral sucrose gradients. Nucleoid sedimentation profiles obtained from cells incubated with ADR (1-10 microM; 30 min; 37 degrees C)

Oxygen deficient hypoxic cells, which are resistant to sparsely ionising radiation, have now been identified in most animal and some human solid tumours and will influence the response of those tumours to radiation treatment. This hypoxia can be either chronic, arising from an oxygen diffusion

We conducted laboratory tests to assess the sensitivity to the insect repellent 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, 1-methylpropylester (known as KBR 3023 or Picaridin, trade name Bayrepel) of West African strains of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti and of malaria vectors of the

Amisulpride is a substituted benzamide used as an atypical antipsychotic drug. It antagonizes dopamine D2 and D3 receptor-mediated effects with greater affinity for the limbic system suggesting better neurological tolerance than classical neuroleptics. However, occasionally amisulpride intoxications

Aedes aegypti L. is the primary vector of dengue and yellow fever viruses, and use of aerosolized insecticides is one of the primary ways to control this medically important mosquito. However, few new insecticides have been developed for mosquito control in recent years. As a part of our effort to

The effects of 3-aminobenzamide and benzamide (inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose] synthetase on heat and radiation responses of Chinese hamster V79 cells have been examined. Consistent with earlier reports the inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) formation caused radiosensitization and inhibition of repair of

These experiments are a continuation of our work describing the effect of H2O2 and O2- on DNA strand breaks, NAD pools and poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in C3H10T1/2 cells (Lautier et al. (1990) Biochem. Cell Biol. 68, 602-608). The current experiments were carried out firstly to evaluate the polymer

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare but potentially lethal, rare reaction to neuroleptics which is characterized by altered levels of consciousness, extrapyramidal effects, autonomic instability, hyperthermia, and elevated serum creatine phosphokinase levels. The most serious complication of

Chemical modulation of tumor blood flow has until recently received relatively little attention as a therapeutic tool. Developments in the last few years, both in technology and in drug development, have changed this perspective. Fluorescence activated cell sorting techniques have provided evidence

Tiapride, a benzamide compound, is a neuroleptic drug used in the treatment of some behavior troubles, especially in the alcohol withdrawal syndrome. We report a new case of malignant neuroleptic syndrome during a tiapride treatment in a 39 year-old alcoholic patient who had been admitted after a

The first two observations of human poisoning involving the recently developed neuroleptic amisulpride are described. In both cases drug determination was performed using reversed-phase HPLC coupled with diode array detection. Case 1 was a nonfatal overdosage in which the ingestion of 3.0 g

Repeated administration of methamphetamine (METH; 2 and 4 mg/kg, s.c. four times every 2 h) caused hyperthermia and a dose-dependent depletion of striatal dopamine levels 3 days after the METH-treatment in both BALB/cAnNCrj (BALB) and DBA/2NCrj (DBA) mice, but these responses were lower in
