Abstract
Platinum is well known for its anticancer activity, firstly used as cis-diaminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP), with a wide range of activity. Its main mechanism of action involves its binding to DNA. Gallium, another metal, has also demonstrated apoptotic effects on malignant cells, but through interaction with targets other than DNA, such as the membrane, cytoskeleton and proteasome, and on enzyme activities. An antitumor synergism between CDDP and both gallium and rhenium compounds has been demonstrated. For these reasons, we proposed to combine these three metals and to determine at which doses each compound could be administered without major toxicity. CDDP, tetrakis(1-octanol) tris(5-aminosalicylate)gallium(III), and a diseleno-ether rhenium(I) complex were used in this experimental study in breast cancer MCF-7 tumor-bearing mice. CDDP was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) twice a week at the dose of 3 mg/kg. Tetrakis(1-octanol) tris(5-aminosalicylate) gallium (III) and rhenium(I) diseleno-ether complexes were administered orally, daily, five days a week for three weeks, at doses ranging from 20 to 100 mg/kg for the gallium compound and from 10 to 50 mg/kg for the rhenium compound. Doses of 10 mg/kg of rhenium(I) diseleno-ether, and 100 mg/kg of the salicylate gallium compound, in combination with CDDP induced a significant decrease of 50% of the tumor volume, by comparison with the control group. In contrast, the decrease of the tumor volume in mice treated by CDDP alone was less than 25%. Changes in the sequence of administration of the three metals will be discussed to improve the therapeutic index.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT) materials are of special interest as potential tools for biomedical applications. However, available toxicological data concerning single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) remain contradictory. Here, we compared the effects of SWNTs as a function of dose, length, and surface chemistry in Swiss mice. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman, near-infrared (NIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies have been used to characterize the tested materials. The dose of SWNT materials used in this study is considerably higher than that proposed for most biomedical applications, but it was deemed necessary to administer such large doses to accurately assess the toxicological impact of the materials. In an acute toxicity test, SWNTs were administered orally at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg bodyweight (b.w.). Neither death nor growth or behavioral troubles were observed. After intraperitoneal administration, SWNTs, irrespective of their length or dose (50-1000 mg/kg b.w.), can coalesce inside the body to form fiberlike structures. When structure lengths exceeded 10 mum, they irremediably induced granuloma formation. Smaller aggregates did not induce granuloma formation, but they persisted inside cells for up to 5 months after administration. Short (<300 nm) well-individualized SWNTs can escape the reticuloendothelial system to be excreted through the kidneys and bile ducts. These findings suggest that if the potential of SWNTs for medical applications is to be realized, they should be engineered into discrete, individual "molecule-like" species.

Synthesis, structural analysis and anticonvulsant activity of a ternary Cu(II) mononuclear complex containing 1,10-phenanthroline and the leading antiepileptic drug valproic acid. Biochimie 2009; 91:1286-93.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the binary complex of copper(II) with the antiepileptic drug valproic acid sodium salt (Valp) and the related ternary complex with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) are reported, as well as the anticonvulsant properties of the latter. The characterization was carried out by means of elemental analyses, infrared (IR), UV-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). The X-ray crystal structure of the mononuclear complex bis(2-propylpentanoate)(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) [Cu(Valp)(2)phen] is showed for the first time. It crystallized in C2/c space group with unit cell dimensions of a = 14.939(1) A, b = 19.280(1) A, c = 9.726(1) A, beta = 97.27(2) degrees , V = 2778.8(4) A(3) and Z = 8. The carboxylates bond in an asymmetric chelating mode and the copper atom adopts a highly distorted octahedral coordination, characterized by the sum of the angles of 365.9 degrees around Cu(II) and its nearest atoms in the CuN(2)O(2) + O(2) chromophore instead of the expected 360 degrees for a basal square planar geometry found in most Cu(II) complexes. Molecules assemble three by three through slipped pi-pi stacking of the aromatic phen with respectively 3.519 and 3.527 A distances, in a head-to-tail arrangement. Studies of the anticonvulsant properties of this bioligand chelate evidenced its lack of efficacy in preventing MES-induced seizures. Interestingly, complex 4 protected mice against the Minimal Clonic seizures at doses that do not cause Rotorod toxicity, with an ED(50) documenting very potent anticonvulsant activity in this model of seizure, a particularly useful pharmacological profile of activity for the treatment of Petit Mal seizures.

Abstract
A microwave-assisted three-component, regioselective one-pot cyclocondensation method has been developed for the synthesis of a series of novel spiro[indole-thiazolidinones] (6a-l) using an environmentally benign procedure at atmospheric pressure in open vessel. This rapid method produces pure products in high yields within few minutes in comparison to a conventional two-step procedure. The crystal structure of one representative compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The synthesized compounds have been screened 'in vitro' for antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum and Collectotrichum capsici. All compounds have shown good activity against these pathogens.

Abstract
Two pseudopolymorphs, solvates, of [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] of unknown structure were obtained following solution of [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Low-temperature crystal structures obtained for these solvates revealed that they were ternary aqua DMA and DMF solvates: [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)].4DMA and [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)].4DMF. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions account for the formation of these stable DMA and DMF solvates. These pseudopolymorphs contain a centrosymmetric binuclear center with Cu-Cu bond distances ranging from 2.6439(7) to 2.6452(9) A; the coordination sphere of Cu(II) is characterized by one long Cu-O (water) bond length of 2.128(3)-2.135(3) A and four short Cu-O (carboxylate) bonds of 1.949(3)-1.977(3) A. Crystal parameters for the DMA pseudopolymorph: a=10.372(1), b=19.625(2), c=17.967(2) A, beta=97.40(1) degrees , V=3626.8(6) A(3); monoclinic system; space group: P2(1)/a and for the DMF pseudopolymorph: a=10.125(2), b=18.647(3), c=19.616(4) A, alpha=74.38(2)(o), beta=88.18(2)(o), gamma=79.28(2)(o), V=3504(1) A(3); triclinic system; space group: P1. EPR spectra of these solids are identical and show strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the copper atoms, similar to the spectrum obtained for [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(DMSO)(2)]. The [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)], [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)].4DMA, [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(H(2)O)(2)].4DMF, [Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(DMF)(2)], and[Cu(2)(II)(niflumate)(4)(DMSO)(2)] evidenced protection against maximal electroshock-induced seizures and Psychomotor seizures at various times after treatment, consistent with the well known antiinflammatory activities of Cu chelates, but failed to protect against Metrazol-induced seizures while evidencing some Rotorod Toxicity consistent with a mechanism of action involving sedative activity.

Abstract
Following observations that bis(3,5-diisopropylsalicylato)diaquazinc(II), [Zn(II)(3,5-DIPS)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], had anti-convulsant activity, bis(acetylsalicylate)diaquazinc(II), [Zn(II)(aspirinate)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], and the Zn(II) ternary 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (neocuproine, NC) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) complexes of Zn(II)3,5-diisopropylsalicylate, salicylate, and acetylsalicylate were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Anti-convulsant and Rotorod toxicity activities of these complexes were determined to examine their anti-convulsant and undesirable central nervous stimulant or depressant activities of these Zn(II) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent complexes. Bis(3,5-diisopropylsalicylato)-1,10-phenanthorlinezinc(II), [Zn(II)(3,5-DIPS)(2)(phen)], (1) has one bidentate phen ligand and two mono-deprotonated 3,5-DIPS ligands. One of the carboxylates bonds in an asymmetric chelating mode. The Zn(II) atom exhibits a distorted bicapped rectangular pyramidal environment N(2)O(2)OO (4+1+1 *). In the neocuproine complex, bis(3,5-diisopropylsalicylato)-2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthorlinezinc(II), [Zn(II)(3,5-DIPS)(2)(NC)] (2), the Zn(II) atom has a much more distorted bicapped rectangular pyramidal environment, N(2)O(2)O(2) (4+2 *), compared to 1. The two carboxylate ligands exhibit the same asymmetric coordinating mode with longer metalloelement-oxygen bond distances compared to 1. The space group of [Zn(II)(aspirinate)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] (3), which has been reported as Cc is corrected to C2/c. The zinc atom exhibits a (4+2 *) bicapped square pyramidal environment. While the two ternary phenanthroline-containing complexes, 1 and 2, evidenced weak protection against maximal electroshock (MES)- and subcutaneous Metrazol (scMET) induced seizures, [Zn(II)(3,5-DIPS)(2)(DMSO)(2)], [Zn(II)(aspirinate)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], and bis(salicylato)-1,10-phenanthorlinezinc(II), [Zn(II)(salicylate)(2)(phen)], were found to be particularly useful in protecting against MES and scMET seizures and [Zn(II)(aspirinate)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] and [Zn(II)(salicylate)(2)(phen)] were found to have activity in protecting against Psychomotor seizures, without causing Rotorod toxicity. Activities of these and other Zn(II) complexes of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents are consistent with the well-known anti-inflammatory responses of Zn(II)-dependent enzymes. There was also some evidence of Rotorod toxicity consistent with a mechanism of action involving sedative-hypnotic activity of recognized anti-epilepticdrugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of the new serologic marker human antitissue transglutaminase antibodies (IgA anti-tTG) with those of antiendomysium (IgA EMA) and antigliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG AGA) for the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD). METHODS The level of IgA antibodies to tTG in serum was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test using recombinant human tTG as the antigen; IgA EMA, by indirect immunofluorescence; and IgA and IgG AGA, by ELISA. Sixty-eight serum samples from 59 patients with CD were studied-30 patients had untreated CD, 22 were on gluten-free diets, and 16 had been reintroduced to gluten-and compared with serum samples from 116 children examined for failure to thrive, short stature, various digestive diseases, or other non-CD conditions. RESULTS Twenty-eight of 30 patients with CD had anti-tTG (the 2 patients whose results were negative were 1 patient with IgA deficiency and 1 infant); 27 of 30 patients had IgA EMA (1 child was IgA anti-tTG positive and IgA EMA negative); 18 of 30 had IgA AGA; and 28 of 30 had IgG AGA. On gluten-free diets, 4 of 22 patients had anti-tTG but none had IgA EMA or IgA AGA. On normal diets, 15 of 15 children who had relapsed had anti-tTG; 9, IgA EMA; 4, IgA AGA; and 8, IgG AGA (1 child did not relapse). In subjects without CD, 3 of 116 had anti-tTG; 12, IgG AGA; and 1, IgA AGA, but none had IgA EMA. In the 3 children who had anti-tTG, CD could be excluded. The positive predictive value of IgA anti-tTG was 90% and the negative predictive value, 98%. In comparison, results for IgA EMA were 100% and 97%, IgA AGA 94% and 90%, and IgG AGA 70% and 98%, respectively. CONCLUSION The presence of human anti-tTG is a reliable indicator for the diagnosis and follow-up of CD.

Abstract
In connection with a total synthesis of cephalotaxine (1a), we have examined the addition of various nucleophilic reagents to [ABC] subunits 2 and 7 possessing a pyrrolobenzazepine core. In fact, this reaction implicates invariably the carbonyl group of 2. Regarding the reaction of 7 with nucleophiles, the most striking aspect is the complete lack of reactivity of the enaminonitrile moiety. For instance, the condensation of 7 with methylmagnesium bromide involves exclusively the cleavage of the dioxole ring, yielding regioisomers 9 and 10. With the aim of understanding the unexpected reactivity of 2 and 7 toward nucleophiles, crystallographic studies of 2 and 7 and an experimental electron density determination of 7 were carried out. The marked reactivity of the carbonyl group of 2 was interpreted by invoking the weakness of the amide resonance, due to a pronounced delocalization of the N(9) lone pair over the enaminonitrile moiety. The electron density study of 7 reveals this electron delocalization along the enaminonitrile fragment, highlighted and quantified through the bond geometries, topological indicators, and atomic charges, a phenomenon that is responsible for the failure of the addition of nucleophilic species.

Abstract
Chloride channels play important roles in homeostasis and regulate cell volume, transepithelial transport, and electrical excitability. Despite recent progress made in the genetic and molecular aspect of chloride channels, their pharmacology is still poorly understood. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-regulated epithelial chloride channel for which mutations cause cystic fibrosis. Here we have synthesized benzo[c]quinolizinium and benzo[f]indolo[2,3-a]quinolizinium salts (MPB) and performed a SAR to identify the structural basis for activation of the CFTR chloride channel. Synthesized compounds were evaluated on wild-type CFTR and on CFTR having the glycine-to-aspartic acid missense mutation at codon 551 (G551D-CFTR), using a robot and cell-based assay. The presence of an hydroxyl group at position 6 of the benzo[c]quinolizinium skeleton associated with a chlorine atom at position 10 or 7 and an alkyl chain at position 5 determined the highest activity. The most potent product is 5-butyl-7-chloro-6-hydroxybenzo[c]quinolizinium chloride (8u, MPB-104). 8u is 100 times more potent than the parent compound 8a (MPB-07).

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to characterize by X-ray crystallography the ternary dimethylformamide (DMF) Cu(II) complex of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), in an effort to compare the structure-activity relationships for the anticonvulsant activity of this and other Cu(II)aspirinate chelates. The ternary DMF Cu(II) complex of aspirin was synthesized and crystals grown from a DMF solution were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This crystalline material was analyzed for anticonvulsant activity in the Maximal Electroshock (MES) Grand Mal and subcutaneous Metrazol (scMET) Petit Mal models of seizure used to detect anticonvulsant activity. The ternary DMF complex was found to be a monomolecular binuclear complex, tetrakis-mu-(acetylsalicylato)bis(dimethylformamido)dicopper(II) [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(DMF)(2)] with the following parameters: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a=12.259 (1), b=10.228 (1), c=16.987 (1) A, beta=92.07 (1) degrees; V=2128.5 (3) A(3); Z=2. The structure was determined at 180 K from 2903 unique reflections (I>1sigma(I)) to the final values of R=0.030 and wR=0.033 using F. This binuclear complex contains four acetylsalicylate bridging ligands which are related to each other in a two by two symmetry center. The four nearest O atoms around each Cu atom form a closely square planar arrangement with the square pyramidal coordination completed by the dimethylformamide oxygen atom occupying an apical position at a distance of 2.154 (1) A. Each Cu atom is displaced towards the DMF ligand by 0.187 A from the plane of the four O atoms. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(DMF)(2)] crystals show a strong antiferromagnetic coupling of the copper atoms, similar to that observed with other binuclear copper(II)salicylate compounds. Studies used to detect anticonvulsant activity revealed that [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(DMF)(2)] was an effective anticonvulsant in the MES model of seizure but ineffective against scMET-induced seizures. The monomolecular ternary binuclear [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(DMF)(2)] complex is more effective in inhibiting MES-induced seizures than other binuclear or mononuclear Cu(II) chelates of aspirin including: binuclear polymeric [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)], [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(H(2)O)], which is anticipated to be less polymeric, and monomolecular ternary [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(DMSO)(2)] and [Cu(II)(aspirinate)(2)(Pyr)(2)]. These and other chelates appear to be more effective in the scMET model of seizure than [Cu(II)(2)(aspirinate)(4)(DMF)(2)]. These structure-activity relationships support the potential efficacy of Cu chelates of aspirin in treating epilepsies.

Abstract
Two ternary Cu(II) complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and singly (Hsal(-)) or dideprotonated (sal(2-)) salicylate ligands were synthesized, their X-ray crystal structure and electron paramagnetic resonance spectral characteristics determined, and evaluated for anti-convulsant activities in the maximal electroshock (MES) and Metrazol models of seizure and Rotorod toxicity. The X-ray crystal structure of [bis(1,10-phenanthroline)-mu-bis(salicylato-O,O')dicopper(II)] dihydrate, 1, ([Cu(II)(2)(phen)(2)(sal)(2)].2[H(2)O]), shows it to be binuclear. This dimer consists of two centrosymmetrically related pseudo-five coordinate Cu(II) atoms 3.242(2) A apart and bridged by two dideprotonated salicylate ligands. The X-ray crystal structure of [bis(1,10-phenanthroline)(salicylato)copper(II)][salicylate] monohydrate, 2, ([Cu(II)(phen)(2)(Hsal)](+)[Hsal](-)[H(2)O]), shows it to be mononuclear. This complex cation exhibits a highly irregular distorted square pyramidal geometry about the Cu(II) atom, (4+1+1*). Each salicylate is singly deprotonated and one of them is ligand bonded in an asymmetric chelating mode. EPR results for 2 indicate that in concentrated DMF solution phen remains bonded to copper but salicylate is likely monodentate in contrast to the situation for 1. However, in dilute DMF solution, both 1 and 2 form the same species, which accounts for the similarity in anti-convulsant activity of the two compounds. Both 1 and 2 were found to be effective in preventing MES-induced seizures and ineffective in preventing Metrazol-induced seizures. Rotorod toxicity, consistent with central nervous system depression, paralleled the observed anti-convulsant activity. It is suggested that the observed anti-convulsant activity is consistent with central nervous system depression as a physiological mechanism in overcoming MES-induced seizures due to MES-induced brain inflammatory disease.

Abstract
The synthesis of cis-monochloro(dimethylsulfoxide)(metforminuro) platine(II) was investigated. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P 2(1)/c with Z=4. The cell parameters are: a=9.173(2); b=11.286( 2); c=12.556( 3) (A); b=99.69(2) degrees. The structure of this compound was refined to R=0.031 and wR=0.038 using 1461 independent reflexions with I>3 s(I). The platinum coordination is square planar, built up from one Cl, one O from the dimethylsulfoxide, and one bidentate chelating ligand (metforminure anion) via the two imine nitrogen atoms in cis position. The negative charge of the metforminure ligand ensures the electric neutrality in the complex. The crystal packing is characterized by four hydrogen bonds, one of which is bifurcated (involving Cl atom (intramolecular bonding) and O(i) (intermolecular bonding; symmetry code i: x, 3/2-y; 1/2+z).

Abstract
Copper(II) and zinc(II) chelates by some non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs (niflumic acid, indomethacin) and 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid (DIPS) were characterized by single X-ray diffraction methods. Copper(II) complexes by these two types of chelates are binuclear compounds, with Cu(2)(DIPS)(4)L(2) or Cu(2)(AINS)(4)L(2) formula (L=axial non-NSAID ligand such as diethylether, dimethylsulfoxide DMSO). In zinc(II) complex by DIPS, the metal ion is tetrahedrally coordinated and the corresponding compound is mononuclear with Zn(DIPS)(2)(DMSO)(2) formula. These copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes were found to be more active than their parent drugs from the antiinflammatory and anticonvulsant properties. It was pointed out that the Cu(2)(DIPS)(4)L(2) complexes (L=diethylether, N,N-dimethylformamide) exhibited no rotorod toxicity when examined for anticonvulsant activity using the seizure produced by maximal electroshock, following oral administration to rats.

Abstract
Hydroxamic acids derived from aldonic acids, namely aldonohydroxamic acids, have become an increasingly important class of inhibitors of enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. We now report the straightforward preparation of various types of aldonohydroxamic acids by a new methodology involving the use of commercial 50% aqueous hydroxylamine as the source of the free base hydroxylamine that reacts directly with the corresponding aldonolactone dissolved in water. The reaction proceeds almost instantaneously in water at room temperature, yielding generally pure products in quantitative yield. To date, this methodology is probably the most facile and efficient way to synthesize aldonohydroxamic acids. We also determined by X-ray diffraction analysis the first crystal structure of a free aldonohydroxamic acid reported to date. Crystals of L-erythronohydroxamic acid belonged to the monoclinic system, space group P2(1), a=5.511(3), b=7.556(1), c=8.071(3) A, beta=109.10 degrees, and Z=2.

Abstract
Two binuclear copper(II) complexes of 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods and examined for anti-inflammatory activity using activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes and for anticonvulsant activities using electroshock and metrazol models of seizures. These complexes were crystallized from dimethylformamide (DMF) or diethylether. Tetrakis-mu-3,5-diisopropylsalicylatobis-dimethylformamidodicop per(II) [Cu(II)2(3,5-DIPS)4(DMF)2] I is in space group P 1; a = 10.393 (2), b = 11.258 (2), c = 12.734 (2) A, alpha = 96.64 (2), beta = 92.95 (2), gamma = 94.90 (2) degrees; V = 1471.7 (4) A3; Z = 1. Tetrakis-mu-3,5-diisopropylsalicylatobis-etheratodicopper(II ) [Cu(II)2(3,5-DIPS)4(ether)2] II is in space group P 1; a = 10.409 (3), b = 11.901 (4), c = 12.687 (6) A, alpha = 91.12 (5), beta = 90.84 (5), gamma = 100.90 (4) degrees; V = 1542 (1) A3; Z = 1. The structure of I was determined at 140 K from 4361 unique reflections (I > 2sigma(1)) and refined on F2 to R1 = 0.04 and wR2 = 0.09. The structure of II was determined at 180 K from 4605 unique reflections (I > 2sigma(I)) and refined on F2 to R1 = 0.05 and wR2 = 0.13. Each compound is a crystallographically centrosymmetric binuclear complex with Cu atoms bridged by four 3,5-diisopropylsalicylate ligands related by a symmetry center [Cu-Cu(i): 2.6139 (9) A in I and 2.613 (1) in II]. The four nearest O atoms around each Cu atom form a nearly rectangular planar arrangement with the square pyramidal coordination completed by the dimethylformamide (or diethylether) oxygen atom occupying an apical position, at a distance of 2.129 (2) A in I and 2.230 (3) A in II. Each Cu atom is displaced towards the DMF (or diethylether) ligand, by 0.189 A in I and 0.184 A in II, from the plane of the four O atoms. The crystal structures of I and II are essentially similar to each other, except for the DMF or diethylether accommodation. Many disorder phenomena were found in the crystal structure of I. Copper(II)2(3,5-DIPS)4(DMF)2 inhibited polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) oxidative metabolism in vitro. This effect was concentration related and significant for concentrations higher than 10 microg or 0.68 nmol/ml. Copper(II)2(3,5-DIPS)4(DMF)2 was more active than the parent ligand, 3,5-DIPS, as has been demonstrated with copper complexes of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The DMF and diethylether ternary complexes of Cu(II)2(3,5-DIPS)4 were found to have anticonvulsant activity in the maximal electroshock model of grand mal epilepsy in doses ranging from 26 to 258 micromol/kg of body mass following intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or oral treatment. The DMF ternary complex was also found to be effective in the subcutaneous injection of metrazol model of petit mal epilepsy. We conclude that both ternary copper complexes are lipophilic and bioavailable, capable of facilitating the inflammatory response to brain injury and causing the subsidence of this response in bringing about remission of these disease states.

Abstract
The external envelope glycoprotein (gp160) of HIV-1 is a candidate for vaccines against AIDS. Most of the surface of the molecule is shielded by carbohydrate and the structures and locations of these glycans may be important in defining the immunogenicity of the viral coat. Here we report a sensitive mapping strategy for profiling and analysing the N-glycosylation of gp160, based on chemical release of glycans, fluorescent labelling and HPLC analysis. This approach has been validated in terms of establishing the reproducibility of all steps in the analytical procedure and on overall reproducibility on a run-to-run and day-to-day basis. The validated analysis technique was used to monitor the consistency of N-glycosylation of one rgp 160 vaccine candidate produced in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cell culture. It was demonstrated that the variation in the glycan profiles of 6 different lots was not statistically significant.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of three complexes with a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug niflumic acid {2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]aminonicotinic acid} with formula [Cu(niflumato)2L] (L = H2O, DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) were investigated. The crystal and molecular structure of the {Cu(niflumato)2(DMSO)}2 was reported. Crystallographic data are as follows: monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, Z = 2, a = 11.1318(8), b = 17.513(2), c = 15.336(1) A, beta = 103.316(8) degrees, V = 2909.4(4) A3. The structure was refined to R = 0.030 and wR = 0.037 for 3702 reflections with I > sigma (I). It consists of centrosymmetric binuclear units with the Cu-Cui (symmetry code i: 1-x, -y, 1-z) distance between two centrosymmetrically related ions of 2.6272(5) A. Each Cu(II) ion in [Cu2(DMSO)2(mu-niflumato)4] is coordinated to an apical dimethylsulfoxide O atom on the one hand and to the equatorial carbonyl and carboxylic O atoms of two crystallographically independent niflumate moieties and their centrosymmetric counterparts on the other hand. In spite of the low-temperature (190 K) crystal measurements, one L-CF3 grouping exhibits some disorder. The biological activities of these complexes were compared to that of niflumic acid. Niflumic acid and its various copper complexes significantly inhibited polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) oxidative metabolism, as assessed by chemiluminescence and O2- generation measurement. This effect was dose-dependent. All copper complexes exerted a similar inhibiting effect which was always significantly higher than that exerted by the parent drug.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate teicoplanin added to pediatric parenteral nutrition solutions in terms of its stability, its compatibility with parenteral nutrition solution components, and its diffusion through an antibacterial filter material. METHODS Three binary solutions with and without teicoplanin were studied. Different solution compositions and teicoplanin concentrations were used: A (98.3 +/- 8.2 mg/l), B (116.3 +/- 12.4 mg/l), and C (162.7 +/- 16.2 mg/l). Concentrations of teicoplanin and of solution components, osmolality, and pH of each solution were measured at H0, after 24 h at room temperature, after 24 h at +4 degrees C followed by 24 h at room temperature, and after 144 h at +4 degrees C followed by 24 h at room temperature (H168). Teicoplanin concentrations were also measured before and after passage of each solution through a 0.22 micro filter. RESULTS Teicoplanin concentrations remained unchanged from H0 to H168 in solutions A (99.6 +/- 8.3 mg/l), B (116.9 +/- 12. 3 mg/l), and C (162.4+12.9 mg/l). During the H0-H168 interval, iron and methionine were the only components that showed significant decreases, which were similar in solutions without teicoplanin [iron, -6.1% (A), -6.8% (B), and -4.5% (C); methionine, -7.3% (A) and -8. 7% (B)] and in those with teicoplanin [iron, -6.2% (A), -7.1% (B), and -4.0% (C, nonsignificant); methionine, -10.5% (A) and -10.7% (B)], indicating that they were not dependent on the presence of teicoplanin. Teicoplanin levels after filtration were identical to prefiltration values in solutions A (86.4 +/- 5.0 vs 89.8 +/- 3.4 mg/l) and B (112.6 +/- 4.3 vs 115.3 +/- 9.0 mg/l) but were 10.0% lower in solution C (161.6 +/- 3.9 vs 145.4 +/- 4.0; P << 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Teicoplanin can be added to pediatric parenteral nutrition solutions to treat central venous catheter-related infections due to teicoplanin-susceptible organisms since its concentrations and those of solution components remain stable over time.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) formed a ternary complex when mixed with a Zn-3, 5-diisopropylsalicylate complex of unknown structure. The structure of this new ternary complex was characterized in an initial effort to understand the nature of this compound. Since the original complex is known to have anticonvulsant activity, the new ternary complex was also examined for anticonvulsant activity. The original complex was examined for inhibition of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) respiratory burst in an effort to mechanistically account for zinc complex mediated anticonvulsant activity. Dissolving the structurally unknown complex in DMSO gave crystals of a characterizable complex with an empirical formula C30H46O8S2Zn. Crystallographic data: P 1, Z = 2, a = 8.06(1), b = 12.452(2), c = 17.951(2) A, alpha = 74.42(l), beta = 77.07(1), gamma = 89.50(1) degree. The structure was refined to R = 0.03, RW = 0.04 for 3815 independent reflections with I > 2 sigma(I). This complex is mononuclear, with two 3,5-diisopropylsalicylate ligands and two bonded DMSO ligands, Zn(II)(3,5-DIPS)2(DMSO)2, Zn(II) is coordinate covalently bonded to four O atoms in a strongly distorted tetrahedral arrangement. Each DMSO ligates via its sulfoxide O atom while each 3,5-diisopropylsalicylate ligand is monodentate The non-ligating carbonyl O atom of each 3,5-DIPS is free except for an intramolecular hydrogen bond from the hydroxy group of the same ligand. Both 3,5-DIPS acid and Zn(II)(3,5-DIPS)2(DMSO)2 were examined for anticonvulsant activity in the Maximal Electroshock (MES) and Metrazol (MET) models of seizures and found to prevent both types of seizures. The Zn complex was qualitatively and quantitatively more effective than treatment with the free ligand. The influence of a Zn 3,5-DIPS complex and of the ligand 3,5-DIPS on PMNL oxidative metabolism was also studied to help understand the mechanism of anticonvulsant activity of these compounds. A dose-related and significant decrease in chemiluminescent (CL) response to opsonized Zymosan was observed, and the Zn complex was significantly more effective than the free ligand. It is concluded that mononuclear Zn complexes have anticonvulsant activity in Grand Mal and Petit Mal models of seizure possibly due to inhibition of the synthesis of superoxide or down-regulation of Nitric Oxide Synthase in activated phagocytic cells of the central nervous system.

Abstract
The synthesis of (metformin) tetrachloroplatinum (IV) was investigated (metformin is N,N-dimethylbiguanide). It crystallizes with one dimethylsulfoxide molecule as solvate in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n (No. 14) with Z = 4. The cell dimensions are: a = 13.136(7), b = 9.424(2), c = 14.009(8) A, beta = 111.96(4) degrees, V = 1608.4(2) A3. Of the 4269 independent nonzero reflections collected, 1979 with I > 3 sigma (I) were considered and used in the calculations. The structure was refined to R = 0.043 and wR = 0.045. The platinum coordination is octahedral, built up from four chloride anions and one bidentate chelating ligand via the two imine nitrogen atoms cis position. The distances and angles are typical of six-membered rings that have similar donor atoms. The complex was evaluated in vitro and in vivo on murine P388 leukemia. It was found to be as potent as cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (II), CDDP, in inhibiting the proliferation of the sensitive P388 cells. However the resistant P388/CDDP cells were threefold more sensitive to the compound than to CDDP. The two compounds induced a similar perturbation in the G2+M phases of the cell-cycle. The complex was less active than CDDP in vivo on P388 leukemia when administered i.p. (intra peritoneal) on day 1.

Abstract
The ability of two S,S'-(alkane-1,omega-diyl) bisisothiouronium dibromides, three N,N'-(alkane-1, omega-diyl) bis guanidinium dinitrates and N,N'-bis (3-guanidinopropyl)piperazine dinitrate to inhibit constitutive (i.e. endothelial and neuronal forms) and inducible forms of nitric oxide synthases has been evaluated in vivo. These compounds, synthesized by two of us (J. C. L. and C. S.), have been tested in vivo; they were administered simultaneously with an irritant (carrageenan lambda) into the pleural cavity. The amount of nitrites collected 0.5 and 7 hours after this injection can be considered as an indicator of nitric oxide (NO) production. According to previous data, the first harvesting time can be related to activation of constitutive NO synthases and the second to activation of inducible NO synthases. These substances significantly inhibited nitrite production as did 2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea sulphate, previously described as a potent inhibitor of NO synthases and considered as the reference compound. The inhibiting effect varied according to the chemical structure of the compounds. Results were significantly different from controls at 0.5 h only with the S,S'-(octane-1,8-diyl) bisisothiouronium dibromide and the S,S'-(nonane-1,9-diyl) bisisothiouronium dibromide at the highest concentration, N,N'-(heptane-1,7-diyl) bisguanidinium dinitrate and N,N'-bis (3-guanidinopropyl)piperazine dinitrate. At 7 h, all the results were significantly different from controls, with a major effect observed with N,N'-(heptane-1,7-diyl) bisguanidinium dinitrate. The most active substances exerted similar effects to the reference substance.

Abstract
The attachment of Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis ATCC 15790 to beef muscle and adipose tissues was investigated. S. choleraesuis was found to adhere in higher numbers to muscle than to fat. The charge and the hydrophobicity of the surface of S. choleraesuis were evaluated by measurement of electrophoretic mobility, the contact angle with water, adhesion to hexadecane, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The overall negative charge of S. choleraesuis was masked by the high electrolyte concentration in the attachment medium (0.15 M phosphate-buffered saline). This bacterium was shown to possess a hydrophilic surface. Electrostatic interactions do not affect the attachment of S. choleraesuis to both lean and fat tissue, and there was no evidence for a role of hydrophobic interactions. However, the attachment of S. choleraesuis was reduced by 90% after mechanical removal of the flagella or after treatment of the bacteria with specific antiflagella serum. This reduction was attributed to a loss of bacterial mobility leading to a reduction in the number of cells reaching the tissue during the period of contact. Treatment of the tissue with a concentrated suspension of flagella or treatment of the bacteria with antisomatic serum (OMD) did not reduce the attachment of S. choleraesuis to tissues, indicating an absence of specific attachment sites for flagella or antigen O on the beef tissue surface.
