The coupling of two different pharmacophores, each endowed with different biological properties, afforded the hybrid compound lipocrine (7), whose biological profile was markedly improved relative to those of prototypes tacrine and lipoic acid. Lipocrine is the first compound that inhibits

To combine in the same molecule alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor blocking and antioxidant properties, compounds 2-5 were designed and synthesized. All compounds were effective alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor antagonists and were tested in both functional and binding assays. In addition, compounds 2 and 5 also displayed
Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring cofactor of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes and a potent antioxidant. It can interchange between a reduced form and an oxidized form, thereby displaying reducing (antioxidant) and prooxidant properties, respectively. It is suggested that alpha-lipoic acid

Twenty-three diabetic patients -- 16 men and seven women (mean age: 50.7 +/- 17.4 years; mean duration of diabetes: 13.6 +/- 6.9 years) -- with diabetic mononeuropathy of the cranial nerves participated in the study. Four of them were with
Strychnine, a potent antagonist of glycine was given to twins suffering from nonketotic hyperglycinemia at age 73 hours. Within hours of the onset of treatment favorable effects were observed such as improvements of muscle tone, movements, defense reactions, and probably
