A pilot phase II open study on 12 patients with thalassemia intermedia (7 men, 5 women; age 31 +/- 2.0 years SE) treated with oral isobutyramide, a derivative of butyric acid (150 mg/kg body wt/day), was performed in order to

Bromoisobutyramide (BrIBAM)-modified silica templates facilitate the formation of bio-functional thin films made of a range of biopolymers (e.g., polypeptides, nucleic acids or polysaccharides). Upon template removal, non-covalent free-standing biopolymeric assemblies (e.g., hollow capsules or replicated spheres and fibers) are formed

To determine if ketoacidosis contributes to reduced apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) expression in insulin-deficient diabetic rats, we examined the regulation of apoA1 gene expression in response to changes in ambient pH or ketone body concentrations. Hepatic apoAI mRNA levels were reduced

The phosphorescence properties of liver alcohol dehydrogenase from horse were characterized at limiting concentrations of coenzyme and coenzyme analogues. The emission decay kinetics of Trp-314 in strong, slowly exchanging, ternary complexes with NADH/isobutyramide, NAD/pyrazole, and NADH/dimethyl sulfoxide displays a markedly

The butyrate derivative isobutyramide (IBT) increases fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in patients with beta-hemoglobinopathies, but little is known about its usefulness for prolonged therapeutic use. We treated 8 patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia with 350 mg/kg of body weight per day of
