Abstract
Infections caused by the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), commonly called herpes simplex labialis (HSL), are a public health problem, reaching around 40% of the world's population. Thus, the search for effective therapeutic alternatives in the control of the limitations caused by this virus during the stages of evolution of the disease, is necessary, since they have a direct impact on the quality of life of the patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the in situ film precursor semisolid composition in the treatment of herpes simplex lesions in human HSV-1. Ninety-eight (n = 98) patients with HSV-1 were used for this study. The initial exclusion criteria left 81 patients to be considered in the present study. Three applications were performed, the first at time zero (T0) and the other two at 8 and 16 hours, after initial application (T8 and T16). Photographs were taken in the first appointment and 24 and 72 hours after the last application. After the three periods, each patient received a total amount of 90 mg of anesthetic and the prognosis of the patients was followed for 6 months and 1 year after the application. Frequency analysis showed that 40.3% of patients had remission of symptoms 24 hours after the last application. For the present study, the film presented a positive therapeutic potential and an esthetic benefit that is absent in the current products (ointments and gels). The invent presents dosage convenience (only three applications in a 24-hour period) and a low production cost, with a much shorter healing time than that reported using topical antiretrovirals.

Abstract
Background Local anesthetics (LAs) are increasingly used as therapeutics due to their multiple molecular effects. They may be potential agents also in gynecology and reproductive medicine. The objective of this study was to investigate the contractility response of the perfused swine uterus to different concentrations of the LAs procaine, lidocaine, and ropivacaine. Methods and findings In an extracorporeal perfusion model with fresh swine uteri, effects of administered boli of these three LAs in concentrations of 0.1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL and 1.0 mg/mL on uterine contractility and peristalsis were assessed using an intrauterine double-chip micro-catheter. A dose-dependent increase in intrauterine pressure (IUP) in the isthmus and corpus uteri was observed after the administration of the ester-LA procaine 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0%, which was not seen with lower concentrations, or buffer solution. An increase-decrease curve was found after increasing concentrations of the amide-LA lidocaine and ropivacaine, with an IUP plateau with 0.1 and 0.5%, and a decrease with 1% (p<0.01). All reactions were seen in both the isthmus and corpus uteri. The difference of the contractility pattern between ester- and amide-LA at 1% concentration was significant. Conclusion LAs dose-dependently modulate contractility in non-pregnant swine uteri. The amid-LAs lidocaine and ropivacaine reduce contractility in higher concentrations and may be used as therapeutics in disorders with increased uterine contractility, as dysmenorrhoea, endometriosis, and infertility. The multiple molecular effects of LAs may explain these effects. This in-vitro pilot study in vitro provides initial data for designing further studies to transfer the results onto humans.

Abstract
Development of new local anesthetic agents has been focused on the potency of their nerve-blocking effects, duration of action and safety and has resulted in a substantial number of agents in clinical use. It is well established and well documented that the nerve blocking effects of local anesthetics are secondary to their interaction with the Na+ channels thereby blocking nerve membrane excitability and the generation of action potentials. Accumulating data suggest however that local anesthetics also possess a wide range of anti-inflammatory actions through their effects on cells of the immune system, as well as on other cells, e.g. microorganisms, thrombocytes and erythrocytes. The potent anti-inflammatory properties of local anesthetics, superior in several aspects to traditional anti-inflammatory agents of the NSAID and steroid groups and with fewer side-effects, has prompted clinicians to introduce them in the treatment of various inflammation-related conditions and diseases. They have proved successful in the treatment of burn injuries, interstitial cystitis, ulcerative proctitis, arthritis and herpes simplex infections. The detailed mechanisms of action are not fully understood but seem to involve a reversible interaction with membrane proteins and lipids thus regulating cell metabolic activity, migration, exocytosis and phagocytosis.

Abstract
Internal carotid artery infusion of bradykinin caused extensive breakdown of the blood-brain barrier to protein as demonstrated by the extravasation of the marker, horseradish peroxidase, into vessel walls and the adjacent parenchyma. Pretreatment of the animals with indomethacin, trifluoperazine, or imidazole significantly reduced the quantity of abnormally permeable vessels as determined by light microscopy. By electron microscopy, it was determined that bradykinin caused an intense increase in the number of pinocytotic vesicles in the permeable segments, but no change in the interendothelial junctions. After imidazole pretreatment, although the extent of the permeability change was markedly reduced, the intensity of pinocytotic activity in the involved areas was not altered.

Abstract
Chloroprocaine, an aminoester local anesthetic commonly used for epidural block, has been found to induce interspecies somatic cell hybrids in vitro. Mixed cultures of human amniocytes and mouse hepatoma cells, deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase, were exposed to 1.6, 0.8, or 0.4 X 10(-3)M chloroprocaine for 3 hr at 37 degrees C, then maintained for 3 weeks in a double-selective medium of hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine (HAT) and ouabain to eliminate the unfused parental cells. Clones of actively multiplying cells appeared in cultures exposed to 1.6 and 0.8 X 10(-3)M chloroprocaine. Chromosome analysis confirmed they were hybrids. Cultures treated with 0.8 X 10(-3)M chloroprocaine exhibited the highest frequency of cell hybridization (8.8 X 10(-5). The hybrid clones bore the morphologic characteristics of both parents although their growth pattern closely resembled the mouse parent. Procaine, sodium bisulfite (the antioxidant present in the commercial solutions of chloroprocaine), and the two chloroprocaine metabolites, chloroaminobenzoic acid and diethylaminoethanol, were nonfusogenic. The hybridogenic effect of chloroprocaine has not been previously described with other local anesthetics.

Abstract
Sendai virus-induced hemolysis, a manifestation of virus-red cell fusion, is inhibited by exposure of the virus to 50 microM and higher concentrations of trifluoperazine. Trifluoperazine does not disrupt the virus, since trifluoperazine-treated virus with no hemolytic activity sediments slightly faster than untreated virus on sucrose density gradients and contains viral proteins in proportions characteristic of untreated virus. Trifluoperazine affects the fusion protein to a greater extent than the hemagglutinin, since trifluoperazine-treated virus with no hemolytic activity is as active or nearly as active in agglutinating red cells. The partition coefficient of trifluoperazine between the virus membrane and buffer is lower at 4 degrees C than, but the same at 37 degrees C, as that between the red cell membrane and buffer. Nevertheless, virus-independent red cell lysis and inactivation of virus-mediated hemolysis occur when the red cell and viral membranes, respectively, contain similar concentrations of trifluoperazine. Furthermore, 13-28% more trifluoperazine is necessary to achieve either effect at 4 degrees C or at 25 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. Changes in the surface activity of trifluoperazine do not explain these results, insofar as the critical micellar concentration of (0.75 mM) and maximal reduction in surface tension by (40 dyn/cm) trifluoperazine are the same at 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C. The fluorescence of viral tryptophan decreases by approx. 25% when viral hemolysis is inactivated by trifluoperazine, by trypsin treatment or by heating at 100 degrees C for 5 min.

Abstract
The effect of desipramine, imidazole, thioridazine and trifluoperazine on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability after a 24 hour cold lesion was studied in rats. Changes in BBB permeability were determined using a quantitative horseradish peroxidase (HRP) assay. The four drugs tested did not alter the quantity of HRP in the cortex of control animals, or in the contralateral cortex of test animals. However, imidazole, desipramine and trifluoperazine significantly reduced the HRP extravasation in and around the cold lesion. Several mechanisms for this effect are suggested; one possible mechanism common to all these drugs is the reduction of increased vesicular transport in cortical vessels adjacent to the cold lesions.

Abstract
Peritoneal macrophages obtained from mice after an intraperitoneal injection of tryptose peptone inhibited the development of herpes simplex virus type 2 plaques in syngeneic mouse embryonic fibroblasts. In contrast, peritoneal macrophages, spleen cells, and thymocytes from untreated mice showed only a minimal inhibitory effect on the development of viral plaques. The effect was age dependent. Macrophages from 2 and 3-week-old mice showed weaker functions, requiring a larger number of cells for an equivalent reduction of plaques and virus yield than those from adult mice. When macrophages were treated with procaine, their phagocytic activity was completely abolished. However the procaine-treated macrophages still could inhibit the development of viral plaques. Peritoneal macrophages did not show any increased cytotoxicity against herpes simplex virus-infected cells; plaque inhibition might rather be attributable to their cytostatic effects on target cells.

Abstract
Secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver were found to fuse after exposure to Ca2+. Vesicle fusion is characterized by the occurrence of twinned vesicles with a continuous cleavage plane between two vesicles in freeze-fracture electron microscopy. The number of fused vesicles increases with increasing Ca2+-concentrations and is half maximal around 10(-6)M. Other divalent cations (Ba2+, Sr2+, and Mg2+) were ineffective. Mg2+ inhibits Ca2+-induced fusion. Therefore, the fusion of secretory vesicles in vitro is Ca2+ specific and exhibits properties similar to the exocytotic process of various secretory cells. Various substances affecting secretion in vivo (microtubular inhibitors, local anesthetics, ionophores) were tested for their effect on membrane fusion in our system. The fusion of isolated secretory vesicles from liver was found to differ from that of pure phospholipid membranes in its temperature dependence, in its much lower requirement for Ca2+, and in its Ca2+-specificity. Chemical and enzymatic modifcations of the vesicle membrane indicate that glycoproteins may account for these differences.

Abstract
Adsorption of Sendai virus at high multiplicity (500-1,000 HAU/10(6) cells) to HeLa cells grown in monolayers causes immediate changes in the ion barrier of the cell membrane, as well as changes in the morphology of the virus-treated cells. Within minutes of adsorption the cells begin to lose potassium and an extensive influx of ions into the cells occurs. Concomitantly with these changes, the cell membrane becomes depolarized, and the resting potential across its membrane decreases. Twenty to sixty minutes post adsorption the damage to the cell membrane is repaired, and both the potassium uptake and the resting potential return to their pre-exposure values. Scanning electron-micrographs of Sendai infected cells incubated at 37 degrees C show formation of bridging microvilli in a zipper-like fashion within two to five minutes post-adsorption; 30 to 60 minutes thereafter the majority of cells in the monolayer are fused. Biochemical changes induced by virus adsorption and the role of Ca++ ions in the observed effects are discussed.

Abstract
Effect of cholesterol, divalent ions and pH on spherical bilayer membrane fusion was studied as a function of increasing temperature. Spherical bilayer membranes were composed of natural [phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS)] as well as synthetic (dipalmitoyl-PC, dimyristoyl-PC and dioleoyl-PC) phospholipids. Incorporation of cholesterol into the membrane (33% by weight) suppressed the fusion temperature and also greatly reduced the percentage of membrane fusion. The presence of 1 mM divalent ions (Ca++, Mg++ or Mn++) on both sides or one side of the PC membrane did not affect appreciably its fusion characteristic with temperature, but the PS membrane fusion with temperature was greatly enhanced by the presence of divalent ions. The variation of pH of the environmental solution in the range of 5.5 approximately 7.0 did not affect the membrane fusion characteristic. However, at pH 8.5, the fusion with respect to temperature was shifted toward the lower temperature by approximately 3degreesC for PC and PS membranes, and at pH 3.0 the opposite situation was observed as the fusion temperature was increased by 6degreesC for PS membranes and by 4degreesC for PC membranes The results seem to indicate that membrane fluidity and structural instability in the bilayer are important for membrane fusion to occur.

Abstract
The plasma membrane is the postulated site of action of anesthetics on nerve or muscle. The drugs may be useful in the analysis of membrane phenomena in other cells. We show here that cationic anesthetics and tranquilizers inhibit cell adhesion and spreading, metabolically dependent processes that involve membrane motility and changes in cell shape. Adhesion was measured by layering 51Cr labeled Sarcoma I (Sa I) cells on glass coverslips for 20 minutes at 34 degrees C, rinsing and estimating the glass-associated radioactivity. Spreading was evaluated microscopically. Both cell adhesion to untreated glass and the Mn2+ dependent adhesion to serum-coated coverslips were inhibited by the drugs, in the following order of increasing activity: tetracaine, promethazine, cyclomethycaine, chlorpromazine and fluphenazine. Similar ranks of drug activity have been reported for nerve blocking, inhibition of cell fusion and inhibition of induced spreading of macrophages. Microscopic observations showed the drugs also inhibited MN2+ INDUCED SPREADING OF Sa I. Drug treated cells were rounded, refractile, devoid of cell processes or ruffles visible by light microscopy. The effects of the drugs on adhesion and spreading were reversible upon washing of the cells. We postulate that the inhibition of adhesion and spreading are a consequence of the inhibition of cell surface motility by the anesthetics.
