Abstract

5-[(2-Aminoacetamide)methyl]-1-[p-chloro-2-(o-chlorobenzoyl)phenyl]- N, N-dimethyl-1 H-s-triazole-3-carboxamide hydrochloride dihydrate (450191-S), a newly synthesized sleep inducer, is a masked compound which is converted to 1,4-benzodiazepine by intestinal aminopeptidases during absorption from the small intestine. This study was an investigation on the effects of food on 450191-S pharmacokinetics. When 14C-450191-S was administered to non-fasted rats, peak plasma levels of total radioactivity were markedly reduced and its excretion into the bile was more delayed than when it was administered to fasted rats. One of the causes for these phenomena was thought to be a delayed absorption caused by the direct interaction between 450191-S and food in the intestinal lumen as well as the delayed gastric emptying rate. To confirm this interaction, we examined the effect of food on 450191-S uptake by the small intestine using rat everted jejunal sac in vitro. Subsequently, we found that the desglycylation of 450191-S was inhibited by rat food and that the uptake of 450191-S was reduced. In conclusion, 450191-S absorption is delayed by food, which results in the decreased total plasma level of 450191-S metabolites.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
