Abstract

Diazepam (DZ), N-desmethyl diazepam (NOR) and temazepam (TEM) were used as substrates in drug metabolism studies to characterize the changes in cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenase pathways in hepatocytes isolated from cynomolgus monkeys, during culture for 6 days. Hepatocytes were incubated with DZ (20 microM), NOR (6 microM) or TEM (20 microM) for 3 hr at 3, 24, 48, 96 and 144 hr post-isolation in culture, and the profiles of disappearance of DZ, as substrate, and appearance of its metabolites determined. Major metabolites were NOR, TEM and oxazepam (OX). The kinetic profiles for the disappearance of DZ and the accumulation of metabolite were analysed using a four-compartment model and constants for the rates of formation of the metabolites were derived. There were significant changes during the period in culture for the rate constants of DZ demethylation, but no alteration in the 3-hydroxylation activities. Rates of DZ metabolism were unchanged during the initial 2 days in culture and well maintained for the subsequent 4 days, despite a fall in total cytochrome P-450 to 23% of initial values after 6 days. Cynomolgus monkey hepatocytes produce similar metabolite profiles for DZ to those found in man, both in vitro and in vivo, ind...Continue Reading

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.

Evolution of Pluripotency

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.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
