The effects of L-deprenyl (selegiline), a highly selective monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitor, on cell excitability of rat hippocampal CA1 neurons were examined in slice preparations using intracellular recording techniques. Superfusion of L-deprenyl (10 and 20 microM) reversibly limited

The synthesis and characterization of ruthenium compounds of the type [RuCl(2)(NO)(dppp)(L)]PF(6) [dppp=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane; L=pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, 4-phenylpyridine and dimethyl sulfoxide] are described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV/Vis and infrared spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography for the complexes with
Exposure to cigarette smoke has been found to attenuate the reduction in striatal dopamine levels caused by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in mice and to inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in brain tissue. To confirm whether specific smoke constituents which have been

We have investigated the mechanism of the inhibition of membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) and a series of its 4'-alkyl-substituted analogs of increasing hydrophobicity, as well as their neutral, desmethyl congeners. Comparison of hydrophobicity, as measured by partition coefficients
The quinoline nucleus of the previously described 4-phenylquinoline-3-carboxamides NK(1) receptor ligands 7 has been transformed into either substituted or azole-(i.e., triazole or tetrazole) fused pyridine moieties of compounds 9 and 10, respectively, in order to obtain NK(1) receptor ligands showing
