Abstract
Background:Potential efficacy and favorable safety profiles of tocilizumab (TCZ) have been demonstrated in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) [1, 2]. However, clinical outcomes after dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ due to an improvement of skin thickness remain unclear.Objectives:To investigate the clinical outcomes after dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ in patients with dcSSc in a real-world setting.Methods:This is a single-center, retrospective, observational study using a database of consecutive SSc patients who visited our center between April 2014 and October 2020. For this study, we selected eligible patients from the database based on the following criteria: patients who (i) fulfilled the ACR/EULAR classification criteria, (ii) were classified as having dcSSc, (iii) had been treated with TCZ for at least 6 months, and (iv) were follow-up >6 months after TCZ introduction. Clinical information including demographic and clinical characteristics at TCZ introduction; dosing, administration route, and adherence of TCZ; and serial clinical parameters (modified Rondan total skin thickness score [mRSS], and percent predicted forced vital capacity [%FVC]), safety profiles, and outcomes after TCZ introduction regardless of TCZ continuation were extracted from the database.Results:Of 404 patients enrolled in the database, 13 dcSSc patients were eligible for this study. Baseline characteristics included a mean age of 51 ± 9 years, 85% female, disease duration of 27 ± 24 months, and mRSS of 19.5 ± 10.6. Seven patients (54%) had HRCT-confirmed ILD at baseline, and 9 (69%) were positive for anti-topoisomerase I antibody. Two (14%) and 11 (85%) were on mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose prednisolone (7.2 ± 6.0 mg/day), respectively. Seven patients (54%) each had active skin disease and elevated inflammatory markers defined in the phase III clinical trial [2], while only 4 (31%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. TCZ was initially administered intravenously (8 mg/kg every 4 weeks) in 8 patients and subcutaneously in 5 (162 mg every 2 weeks in 4 and every week in one). At one year, mRSS was improved from 20.9 ± 11.4 to 10.7 ± 8.9 in 11 patients (p = 0.007), and %FVC was stable in 7 patients with ILD (76.8 ± 15.0 to 78.6 ± 16.1). During the observation period of 60.4 ± 26.7 months, 4 patients were treated with a stable dose of TCZ, while TCZ dose was reduced and/or discontinued in 9. Four of them discontinued TCZ due to adverse events (n = 2; acute lung injury and phlegmon) or prominent improvement of skin thickening (n = 2). Of 9 patients with dose reduction/discontinuation of TCZ, 4 patients who discontinued TCZ (n = 3) or received dose reduction of TCZ (n = 1) experienced a recurrence of progressive skin thickening together with inflammatory complications, including edematous induration of the skin, progression of ILD, polyarthritis, and/or pericarditis with increased inflammatory markers. The interval between dose-reduction/discontinuation of TCZ and clinical worsening ranged from 2 to 11 months. These manifestations were promptly improved by dose-escalation or resumption of TCZ in all patients except one who experienced progressive ILD and died of respiratory failure 27 months later.Conclusion:In dcSSc patients who experienced improvement of skin thickness during treatment with TCZ, dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ may result in a recurrence of the disease. Randomized comparative studies are necessary to examine optimal timing for dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ in dcSSc patients after improvement of skin thickness.References:[1]Khanna, D., et al., Safety and efficacy of subcutaneous tocilizumab in systemic sclerosis: results from the open-label period of a phase II randomised controlled trial (faSScinate).

Abstract
It is known that GABA, a major inhibitory transmitter in the CNS, acts as an excitatory (or depolarizing) transmitter transiently after intense GABAA receptor activation in adult brains. The depolarizing effect is considered to be dependent on two GABAA receptor-permeable anions, chloride (Cl-) and bicarbonate (HCO3-). However, little is known about their spatial and temporal profiles during the GABAergic depolarization in postsynaptic neurons. In the present study, we show that the amplitude of synaptically induced depolarizing response was correlated with intracellular Cl- accumulation in the soma of mature hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells, by using whole cell patch-clamp recording and Cl- imaging technique with a Cl- indicator 6-methoxy-N-ethylquinolinium iodide (MEQ). The synaptically activated Cl- accumulation was mediated dominantly through GABAA receptors. Basket cells, a subclass of fast-spiking interneurons innervating the somatic portion of the pyramidal cells, actually fired at high frequency during the Cl- accumulation accompanying the depolarizing responses. These results suggest synaptically activated GABAA-mediated Cl- accumulation may play a critical role in generation of an excitatory GABAergic response in the mature pyramidal cells receiving intense synaptic inputs. This may be the first demonstration of microscopic visualization of intracellular Cl- accumulation during synaptic activation.

Abstract
GABA, which generally mediates inhibitory synaptic transmissions, occasionally acts as an excitatory transmitter through intense GABA(A) receptor activation even in adult animals. The excitatory effect results from alterations in the gradients of chloride, bicarbonate, and potassium ions, but its functional role still remains a mystery. Here we show that such GABAergic excitation participates in the expression of seizure-like rhythmic synchronization (afterdischarge) in the mature hippocampal CA1 region. Seizure-like afterdischarge was induced by high-frequency synaptic stimulation in the rat hippocampal CA1-isolated slice preparations. The hippocampal afterdischarge was completely blocked by selective antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors or of GABA(A) receptor, and also by gap-junction inhibitors. In the CA1 pyramidal cells, oscillatory depolarizing responses during the afterdischarge were largely dependent on chloride conductance, and their reversal potentials (average -38 mV) were very close to those of exogenously applied GABAergic responses. Moreover, intracellular loading of the GABA(A) receptor blocker fluoride abolished the oscillatory responses in the pyramidal cells. Finally, the GABAergic excitation-driven afterdischarge has not been inducible until the second postnatal week. Thus, excitatory GABAergic transmission seems to play an active functional role in the generation of adult hippocampal afterdischarge, in cooperation with glutamatergic transmissions and possible gap junctional communications. Our findings may elucidate the cellular mechanism of neuronal synchronization during seizure activity in temporal lobe epilepsy.

Abstract
The amplitude of backpropagating action potentials (BAPs) is attenuated, either activity- or neurotransmitter-dependently in the apical dendrite of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. To test the possibility that this BAP attenuation may contribute to regulating the inducibility of long-term potentiation (LTP), BAPs evoked by theta-burst stimulation (TBS), a standard protocol for LTP induction, to apical dendrite synapses were subjected to perturbation by conditioning stimuli to basal dendrite synapses. During this conditioned TBS (cTBS), the amplitude of BAPs was noticeably attenuated, but that of somatic action potentials was not. In the distal dendrite area, cTBS-induced LTP was much smaller than that induced by TBS. By contrast, no difference was observed between TBS- and cTBS-induced LTP in the proximal dendrite area. These findings suggest that the activity-dependent attenuation of BAPs, propagating along the apical dendrite, may serve to regulate hippocampal synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
A 51-year-old woman with overt congestive heart failure with pleural and pericardial effusion was treated with furosemide and nifedipine, leading to improvement in her condition and a decrease in effusions. An echocardiography demonstrated mitral and aortic regurgitation with mitral valve prolapse, which caused the congestive heart failure. Since leukocytopenia and lymphocytopenia with arthralgia could be observed, serological investigations were performed. She was diagnosed as having systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with antiphospholipid syndrome, and started on a treatment of prednisolone and aspirin. Based on the treatment, the pleural and pericardial effusion went into complete remission, indicating that the serositis related to SLE had overlapped the heart failure. Since there was no evidence of any other diseases that could be responsible for the valvular lesions, we concluded that they were due to antiphospholipid syndrome. The administration of prednisolone had no significant effect on valvular morphology or function as demonstrated by echocardiography. When patients with valvular disease are seen, a valvulopathy related to antiphospholipid syndrome should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
In visual cortex layer II/III pyramidal neurons, long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic currents was induced by a combination of the intracellular increase of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), achieved by photolyzing caged-IP(3), and the tetanization to nearby cortex, but not by either of these two procedures alone. A facilitatory role of an IP(3)-induced calcium release in LTD is suggested.

Abstract
Calcium increases induced by single action potentials in rat visual cortex layer II/III pyramidal neurons were shown to be augmented by muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR) stimulation. This augmentation was drastically reduced by intracellular injection of heparin but not ruthenium red, therefore involving inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive rather than ryanodine-sensitive calcium stores. Only the calcium increase induced by the second or later spike of a spike train, but not that induced by the first spike, was augmented, indicating the requirement of both spike-induced calcium increase and mAchR activation. The calcium store depletor thapsigargin abolished this augmentation use-dependently. These findings suggest a neocortical occurrence of calcium-induced calcium release from IP3-sensitive calcium stores that have been sensitized beforehand by IP3 through mAchR-mediated mechanisms.

Abstract
In hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells, intracellular calcium increases are required for induction of long-term potentiation (LTP), an activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. LTP is known to develop in magnitude during the second and third postnatal weeks in the rats. Little is known, however, about development of intracellular calcium dynamics during the same postnatal weeks. We investigated postnatal development of intracellular calcium dynamics in the proximal apical dendrites of CA1 pyramidal cells by whole cell patch-clamp recordings and calcium imaging with the Ca(2+) indicator fura-2. Dendritic calcium increases induced by intrasomatically evoked action potentials were slight during the first postnatal week but gradually became robust 3 to 6-fold during the second and third postnatal weeks. These calcium increases were blocked by application of 250 microM CdCl(2), a nonspecific blocker for high-threshold voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs). Under the voltage-clamp condition, both calcium currents and dendritic calcium accumulations induced by depolarization were larger at the late developmental stage (P15-18) than the early stage (P4-7), indicating developmental enhancement of calcium influx mediated by high-threshold VDCCs. Moreover, theta-burst stimulation (TBS), a protocol for LTP induction, induced large intracellular calcium increases at the late developmental stage, in synchrony with maturation of TBS-induced LTP. These results suggest that developmental enhancement of intracellular calcium increases induced by action potentials may underlie maturation of calcium-dependent functions such as synaptic plasticity in hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
1. Using fluo-3-based fluorometry, we studied variation in depolarization-induced calcium increases in the proximal dendrites or soma of pyramidal neurons in layer II/III of the rat visual cortex. 2. Depolarization for all durations tested (0.1-2 s; 0.5 nA) evoked a train of action potentials and a small increase in calcium signal (mean 26 %) which peaked within 1 s of the onset of depolarization. With depolarization for longer than 1 s, this small increase was often followed by a larger increase (73 %). This later phase of calcium increase occurred without sudden changes in action potential firing. 3. Application of ryanodine, which suppresses intracellular calcium release, abolished the second phase without affecting the early phase in a use-dependent manner. Meanwhile, no major changes were observed in the pattern of action potential firing. 4. In calcium-free medium, both the early and late phases were almost undetectable, although action potential firing was still evoked by injection of depolarizing currents. Since the late phase depended on intracellular calcium release, this effect of calcium-free medium on the late phase is likely to be indirect through an influence on the early phase. 5. This two-phase profile was observed with somatic depolarization or with antidromic action potentials induced by tetanization. Neocortical pyramidal neurons can thus recruit calcium from different sources, even without chemical sensitization, generating temporally diverse profiles of intracellular calcium signal in response to action potential firing. 6. Such variety in the mechanisms of calcium increase may be relevant to the role of calcium as a versatile second messenger for various types of synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
We investigated activity-dependent calcium increases in proximal dendrites of dentate granule cells in the rat hippocampus, and its relationship with induction of LTP at perforant path synapses (PP-synapses). LTP was induced at PP-synapses by high-frequency stimulation (HFS; 100 Hz for 0.4 s), and the same HFS evoked a dendritic calcium increase in the proximal dendrite. However, bath-application of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) blocker nimodipine noticeably reduced this calcium increase without abolishing induction of LTP. This calcium increase mediated by high-threshold VDCCs is likely to be evoked by action potentials. LTP induction at PP-synapses is hence suggested to be independent of action potential-induced calcium increases in the proximal dendrite.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium plays a critical role in the regulation of membrane excitability, synaptic integration and synaptic plasticity. Using whole-cell recording and calcium imaging, we investigated intracellular calcium dynamics in apical dendrites of layer V pyramidal cells in the immature rat neocortex. Dendritic calcium increases induced by action potentials were only small on postnatal days 4-6 (P4-6), then underwent a gradual enhancement during the second post-natal week and were 2- to 3-fold larger on P16-18 than on P4-6. At P15-18 there were no significant differences in the calcium increases among the three subclasses of layer V pyramidal neurons: adapting regular spiking (RS), non-adapting RS and intrinsically bursting (IB) neurons. Developmental regulation of dendritic calcium dynamics may be crucial for functional maturation of the neocortex.

Abstract
In pyramidal neurons from rat visual cortex slices, bath-application of NT-4 (20 ng/ml) did not much affected the baseline calcium signal, but did enhance calcium signals elicited by injections of depolarizing currents (+0.5 nA, 1 s). This enhancing effect of NT-4 was abolished by co-applying K252a. With ryanodine injected intracellularly, the effect of NT-4 was significantly reduced, suggesting an involvement of intracellular calcium release in this NT-4-induced enhancement of calcium transient.

Abstract
Based on the X-ray structure of the complex of Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-H (L-709049) and interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE), we synthesized compounds which were derived from 2-NapCO-Val-Pro-Asp-CH2OPh (1) to obtain a potent inhibitor in the cell assay. Among these compounds, (3S)-N-methanesulfonyl-3-[[1-[N-(2-naphthoyl)-L-valyl]-L-prolyl]amino]- 4-oxobutanamide (27c) showed high potency not only in the enzyme assay but also cell assay with IC50 values of 38 nM and 0.23 microM, respectively. Compound 27c, with a c log P value of 1.76, had a more hydrophilic character compared with 1. Compound 27c also dose dependently inhibited LPS-primed ATP-induced IL-1 beta release in mice. The crystal structure of the complex of compound 27c and ICE revealed that compound 27c had further interactions with ICE in the naphthoyl group at the P4 position and in the methyl group of the methanesulfonamidecarbonyl group at the P1 position, compared with L-709049. To our knowledge, compound 27c is the first example that shows a strong inhibitory activity without the carboxyl group at the P1 position.

Abstract
Two new series of fused aza-heteroarylbisphosphonates (5, 8), which are structurally quite different from incadronate (YM175), and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for antiresorptive activity using a parathyroid hormone(PTH)-induced hypercalcemia model in rats (PIH model). Among these compounds, several exhibited more potent antiresorptive activity than pamidronate. In particular, [1-hydroxy-2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)ethylidene]bisphosphonic acid (5b, minodronate) was 100-fold more potent than pamidronate in not only the PIH model, but also in an immobilization bone atrophy model in rats (DA model), and was selected for clinical development. The structure-activity relationships in these new series of bisphosphonates are discussed.

Abstract
To discover a novel NK1-NK2 dual antagonist, we have synthesized a series of spiro-substituted piperidines utilizing YM-35375 as a lead compound, and evaluated affinities for NK1 and NK2 receptors. In the N-methylbenzamide moiety, introduction of methoxy groups increased affinity for the NK1 receptor without a significant loss of affinity for the NK2 receptor. We also found that a conformation in which the phenyl groups of the N-methylbenzamide and 3,4-dichlorophenyl moieties are close to each other through a cis-amide bond, may be favorable for showing high affinity for the NK1 receptor and that a hydrogen bond-accepting group in the spiro-substituted piperidine moiety may be crucial for exhibiting high affinity for the NK2 receptor. Among the compounds prepared, YM-44778 (31) showed high and well-balanced affinity for NK1 and NK2 receptors (IC50 values of 18 and 16 nM, respectively). This compound also exhibited potent antagonistic activities against both NK1 and NK2 receptors (IC50 values of 82 and 62 nM, respectively) in isolated tissues.

A series of 1-substituted-4-piperidyl benzhydrylcarbamate derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for binding affinity to M1, M2 and M3 receptors, and for antimuscarinic activities. Receptor binding assays indicated that 1-benzyl-4-piperidyl benzhydrylcarbamate derivatives showed higher affinities for M1 and M3 receptors, and good selectivities for M3 over M2 receptor, than the corresponding ester analog. These results indicate that the urethane bond is a novel linker for muscarinic antagonists, and serves to lock the molecular conformation and allows the hydrophobic portion and cationic site of the molecule to bind to M1 and M3 muscarinic receptors. Among the prepared compounds, 1-(4-methylaminobenzyl)-4-piperidyl benzhydrylcarbamate monohydrochloride (18b, YM-58790) exhibited potent inhibitory activity on bladder pressure in reflexly-evoked rhythmic contraction, comparable to oxybutynin and was approximately ten times less inhibitory on oxotremorine-induced salivary secretion than oxybutynin in rats. Further evaluation of antimuscarinic effects on bradycardia and pressor in pithed rats, and on tremor in mice, demonstrated that YM-58790 can be useful for treatment of urinary urge incontinence as a bladder-selective M3 antagonist with fewer side effects.

Abstract
A novel series of biphenylylcarbamate derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for binding to M1, M2 and M3 receptors and for antimuscarinic activities. Receptor binding assays indicated that biphenyl-2-ylcarbamate derivatives had high affinities for M1 and M3 receptors and good selectivities for M3 receptor over M2 receptor, indicating that the biphenyl-2-yl group is a novel hydrophobic replacement for the benzhydryl group in the muscarinic antagonist field. In this series, quinuclidin-4-yl biphenyl-2-ylcarbamate monohydrochloride (8l, YM-46303) exhibited the highest affinities for M1 and M3 receptors, and selectivity for M3 over M2 receptor. Compared to oxybutynin, YM-46303 showed approximately ten times higher inhibitory activity on bladder pressure in reflexly-evoked rhythmic contraction, and about 5-fold greater selectivity for urinary bladder contraction against salivary secretion in rats. Moreover, selective antagonistic activity was also observed in vitro. Further evaluation of antimuscarinic effects on bradycardia and pressor in pithed rats, and on tremor in mice, showed that YM-46303 can be useful for the treatment of urinary urge incontinence as a bladder-selective M3 antagonist with potent activities and fewer side effects.

Abstract
Analysis of the structural requirements of compound 1 (SR48968), a potent NK2 receptor antagonist, revealed that the 4-phenyl group of the piperidine is essential for binding with the NK2 receptor and occupies an equatorial position. Energy calculation of a variety of substituted 4-phenyl piperidines revealed that spiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),4'-piperidine] possesses a conformationally restricted equatorial phenyl group. Our compound 12 (YM-35375) possessing this spiro-substituted piperidine bound to the NK2 receptor with an IC50 value of 84 nM and to the NK1 receptor with an IC50 value of 710 nM. It showed more potent inhibitory activity (ID50 41 micrograms/kg (i.v.)) against [beta-Ala8]-NKA(4-10)-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs than (+/-)-SR48968 (ID50 68 micrograms/kg (i.v.)). YM-35375 may be a new lead compound for novel NK2 receptor antagonists or NK1-NK2 dual antagonists.

Abstract
In the course of our research on spiro-compounds as neurokinin receptor antagonists, N-[2-aryl-4-(spiro-substituted piperidin-1'-yl)butyl]carboxamides were designed, based on YM-35375 (3) as a lead compound, and evaluated for NK2 receptor-antagonistic activities. Some derivatives inhibited the binding of radio-labeled neurokinin A to the NK2 receptor with IC50 values at the level of 10(-9) M. Among these compounds, (+/-)-1'-[4-(N-benzoyl-N-methylamino)-3- (3,4-dichlorophenyl)butyl]spiro[benzo[c]thiophene-1(3H), 4'-piperidine] 2-oxide (58, YM-38336) showed 10 times more potent NK2 receptor binding affinity than compound 3 (IC50 values of 8.9 and 84 nM, respectively). It showed more potent inhibitory activity (ID50 20 micrograms/kg (i.v.)) against [beta-Ala8]-NKA(4-10)-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs than compound 3 (ID50 41 micrograms/kg (i.v.)). This compound was also effective intraduodenally in the same model, exhibiting an ID50 value of 0.41 microgram/kg.

Abstract
In order to study the potency of the 5-aminopyrimidine skeleton as an aromatase inhibitor, we synthesized various N,N-disubstituted-5-aminopyrimidine derivatives and evaluated their aromatase-inhibitory activity (in vitro) and their inhibitory activity on pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-induced estrogen synthesis (in vivo). Compounds with the fluoro-substituted benzyl group showed potent aromatase inhibition. Among them, 5-[(4-cyanophenyl)(3,5-difluorobenzyl)amino]pyrimidine (5w, YM553) was a highly potent compound with an IC50 value of 0.038 nM for aromatase from human placenta. Its inhibitory effect was approximately four times greater than that of YM511. In addition, YM553 was a weak inhibitor of other enzymes involved in steroid hormone synthesis. These results indicate that YM553, as well as YM511 (a 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole derivative), is a promising agent for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases.

Abstract
A series of [(4-bromobenzyl)(4-cyanophenyl)amino]azoles and their azine analogs, which have the side chain of the selective aromatase inhibitor YM511, were synthesized and evaluated for aromatase-inhibitory activity (in vitro) and for pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-induced estrogen synthesis inhibitory activity (in vivo). Among these aza-heterocycles, the pyrimidin-5-yl derivative (6a) was the most potent aromatase inhibitor and its in vitro inhibitory activity was comparable to that of YM511. Compound 6a also showed weak inhibitory activity on aldosterone synthesis. These data indicated that the pyrimidin-5-yl moiety is useful as a new azole fragment in place of the 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl moiety of the aromatase inhibitor YM511.

Abstract
1-N,N-Disubstituted amino-1-H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were prepared and evaluated for aromatase-inhibitory activity (in vitro) and for the inhibitory activity on pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-induced estrogen synthesis (in vivo). 1-N-para-Substituted benzylamino derivatives, having an electron-withdrawing group on the phenyl moiety, exhibited aromatase-inhibitory activity in vitro and in vivo. Among them, 1-[(4-nitrobenzyl)(4-nitrophenyl) amino]-1H,1,2,4-triazole (5b) was the most potent aromatase inhibitor. These 1-N-benzylamino derivatives also showed relatively strong inhibitory activity on aldosterone synthesis, indicating that the selectivity of these derivatives for aromatase inhibition was not sufficient in comparison with that of the 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives.

Abstract
Various 4-N-substituted amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for aromatase-inhibitory activity (in vitro) and for pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-induced estrogen synthesis-inhibitory activity (in vivo). The 4-(4-cyanophenyl) amino derivative and 4-(4-nitrophenyl)amino derivative, each possessing a strong electron-withdrawing group on the phenyl moiety, showed potent aromatase-inhibitory activity. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated that 4-[(4-bromobenzyl)(4-cyanophenyl)amino]-4H-1,2,4-triazole (5k, YM511) is a highly potent aromatase inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.4 and 0.12 nM in in vitro experiments using rat ovary and human placenta, respectively, and an in vivo ED50 of 0.002 mg/kg in rats on oral administration. YM511 was also a weak inhibitor of other steroid hormone synthesis enzymes. These data suggest that YM511 is a highly selective aromatase inhibitor and may be a useful agent for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases such as breast cancer.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of odontoglossum ringspot virus Cy-1 strain (ORSV Cy-1) was determined using cloned cDNA. This sequence is 6611 nucleotides long containing four open reading frames, which correspond to 126 K, 183 K, 31 K, and 18 K proteins. Its genomic organization is similar to other tobamoviruses, TMV-V(vulgare), TMV-L (tomato strain), tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV) and cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV). The 5' non-coding regions of ORSV Cy-1 is 62 nucleotides. The ORFs encoded a 126 K polypeptide and a 183 K read-through product in which helicase-sequence and polymerase-sequence motifs are found. The ORFs encoding the 126 K and 183 K proteins have 61% and 63% identities with those of TMV-V. The third ORF encoded a 31 K protein homologous to TMV cell-to-cell movement protein. It has 63% identities with that of TMV-V. The fourth ORF encoded an 18 K coat protein. The 5' non-coding region, which extends from base 1 to 62 has 2 G residues and a ribosome binding site (AUU). The 3' non-coding region, 414 nucleotides in length, is entirely different from that of other tobamoviruses.

Among these compounds, (cycloheptylamino)methylenebis(phosphonic acid) (3j) was finally selected for further investigation, proving 10-fold as potent as pamidronate in the PIH model and an immobilization bone atrophy model in rats (DA model). The structure-activity relationships of this series of bisphosphonates are discussed.

Abstract
The sequence of the 3'-terminal 1865 nucleotides of the genome of the tobamovirus odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) was determined. This sequence contained two open reading frames (ORFs), 912 and 477 nucleotides long. The 912 nucleotide ORF has been identified as the cell-to-cell transport protein gene. The 477 nucleotide ORF was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the product was detected by antibodies specific for the coat protein of ORSV. The amino acid sequence of protein encoded by this ORF shares 84% similarity with the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) (vulgare) coat protein. The 3'-terminal untranslated region of ORSV comprises 414 nucleotides, 210 nucleotides more than that of TMV (vulgare) RNA.

Abstract
Four enantiomers (3a-d) of the title compound, YM-09730 (3), were synthesized by the reaction of (-)- or (+)-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2, 6-dimethyl-4-(m-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (1a or 1b) with (S)- or (R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol (2a or 2b). [3H]Nitrendipine binding affinity and coronary vasodilating activity of these compounds were evaluated. The absolute configuration of the most potent enantiomer (3a) with the longest duration was unequivocally determined to be (S)-1,4-dihydropyridine-C4 and (S)-pyrrolidine-C3 (S,S) by X-ray crystallographic study on 3a X HBr as well as 3a X HCl. The configuration of 1a corresponds to R, and the other enantiomers of 3 were respectively determined by chemical correlation. The potency order of the four enantiomers was (S,S)-3a greater than (S,R)-3b greater than (R,R)-3d greater than (R,S)-3c. Latent chiral characters of nifedipine derivatives with the identical ester groups were assigned by comparison of their puckering modes of 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) rings with those found in 3a X HCl or 3a X HBr. On the basis of the assignment, it has been revealed that the (S)-DHP nifedipine derivatives possess the synperiplanar carbonyl group at C5. The conformational restriction may be a factor causing stereoselectivity of antagonism.
