S-Aroylmethyl N, N-Disubstituteddithiocarbamates With Antiparkinson Activity, Rahi̇me Şi̇mşek, Ci̇hat Şafak, Kevser Erol, Kami̇l Vural

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Seven S-aroylmethyl N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamate derivatives have been synthesized and their effects on oxotremorine induced tremor have been investigated on mice pretreated with the proparkinsonian drug haloperidol. While the compound 1f inhibited oxotremorine-induced tremors at doses of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg levels, compounds 1a, 1c and 1e had this effect at the dose of 100 mg/kg. The compounds 1b, 1d and 1g had no effect on oxotremorine-induced tremors in mice. These results suggest that some of these derivatives have central antimuscarinic effects and antiparkinson activities.

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

This study was undertaken to examine the laminar distribution of spinotelencephalic tract neurons in the rat, by means of retrograde fluorescent labelling and to estimate the role of NADPH-diaphorase-reactive spinal cells as sources of spino-supraspinal pathways in the rat. The localization, size and shape of some neurons were similar in both labelling methods. Cells were mostly multipolar in the medial part of nucl. proprius, and fusiform and spindle-shaped in lamina I and X. It is suggested that some of the NADPH-d (+) neurons in the deep dorsal horn and lamina X are sources of a spino-supraspinal pathway to nucleus accumbens …
