General description

The kinetics and mechanism of the gas-phase thermal decomposition of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane has been studied in a static system. The infrared spectra of solid, liquid and gaseous 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane has been studied. Low-temperature ozonation of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane in acetone-d6, methyl acetate and tert-butyl methyl ether has been reported.

The radioreceptor assay for acetylcholine (ACh) is based on the ability of the ACh to compete with the specific binding of [3H] cis-methyldioxolane to muscarinic receptors of rat cerebral cortex membranes. The technique described was used to measure ACh levels

Low-temperature ozonation (-78 degrees C) of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (1a) in acetone-d6, methyl acetate, and tert-butyl methyl ether produced both the corresponding acetal hydrotrioxide (3a, ROOOH) and the hemiortho ester (2a, ROH) in molar ratio 1:5. Both intermediates were fully characterized by

This study was designed to determine if the antinociception produced by intrathecally (i.t.) administered muscarinic agonists in male Sprague-Dawley rats is mediated by an L-arginine/nitric oxide/cyclic GMP cascade. Seven days after implantation of intrathecal catheters, antinociception was produced with graded

Some compounds that inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity compete directly with quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding, a muscarinic antagonist which binds to all subtypes equally, and with cis-methyldioxolane (CD), an agonist that binds with high affinity to the M2 subtype of muscarinic

1. Muscarinic receptors mediating contraction of rabbit endothelium-denuded aorta have been characterized functionally, in vitro, using a range of antagonists (atropine, pirenzepine, methoctramine, himbacine, 4-diphenyl-acetoxy-N-methyl piperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) and para-fluoro-hexahydro-siladifenidol (p-F-HHSiD). 2. The non-selective muscarinic agonist, (+)cis-dioxolane, induced concentration-dependent contractions
