The Sea Anemone Purine, Caissarone: Adenosine Receptor Antagonism, Roland A. Cooper, Josecarlos De Freitas, Frank Porreca, Cynthia M. Eisenhour, Ronald Lukas, Ryan J. Huxtable Jul 1995

The Sea Anemone Purine, Caissarone: Adenosine Receptor Antagonism, Roland A. Cooper, Josecarlos De Freitas, Frank Porreca, Cynthia M. Eisenhour, Ronald Lukas, Ryan J. Huxtable

Roland A. Cooper

Caissarone, a sea anemone iminopurine, produced an increase in the twitch response of the electrically stimulated guinea-pig ileum-myenteric plexus. In the same assay, caissarone reduced the inhibitory response to the endogenous neuromodulator, adenosine, the A1 adenosine receptor agonist, R-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA), and the A2 agonist, 5'-(N-cyclopropyl)-carboxamidoadenosine (CPCA) in a dose-dependent manner. Schild plot analysis of antagonism by caissarone yielded slopes of near unity, indicating that caissarone acts as a simple competitive antagonist at the adenosine receptor. The dissociation constants (KB) for caissarone ranged from 0.53 mM to 0.78 mM. In functional nicotinic receptor assays in two human cell lines, caissarone failed …


The Comparative Metabolism Of The Four Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, Seneciphylline, Retrorsine, Monocrotaline, And Trichodesmine In The Isolated, Perfused Rat Liver., C. C. Yan, R. A. Cooper, R. J. Huxtable Jul 1995

The Comparative Metabolism Of The Four Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, Seneciphylline, Retrorsine, Monocrotaline, And Trichodesmine In The Isolated, Perfused Rat Liver., C. C. Yan, R. A. Cooper, R. J. Huxtable

Roland A. Cooper

Despite their similarity in structure, pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) vary in their LD50s and in the organs in which toxicity is expressed. We have examined whether there are differences in the metabolism of certain PAs that are associated with these quantitative and qualitative differences in toxicity. Isolated rat livers were perfused with one of four PAs (seneciphylline, retrorsine, monocrotaline, and trichodesmine) at 0.5 mM for 1 hr, and the pyrrolic metabolites determined that were released into perfusate and bile or bound in the liver. The proportion of the PA removed by the liver varied from 93% for retrorsine to 55% for …

Cellular Localization Of Gap Junction Mrnas In Developing Rat Brain, Daniel Belliveau, C. Naus Dec 1994

Cellular Localization Of Gap Junction Mrnas In Developing Rat Brain, Daniel Belliveau, C. Naus

Daniel J. Belliveau

We investigated the developmental expression and cellular resolution of connexin32 and 43 mRNA in the rat brain using in situ hybridization. Utilizing 35S-labelled probes, in situ hybridization was performed on sections of embryonic day 20 and postnatal days 3, 10, 15, 30 and adult brain. Connexin32 mRNA was first detected in brainstem nuclei at postnatal day 3 and in the midbrain at postnatal day 15. The level of this message continued to increase to postnatal day 30 where the level of message reached a plateau or slightly decreased by adulthood. The distribution of signal included the medial vestibular nucleus, dorsal …
