amide/diarrhea

Novel N-alkyldeoxynojirimycins (NADNJs) with two hydrophobic groups attached to a nitrogen linker on the alkyl chain were designed. A novel NADNJ containing a terminal tertiary carboxamide moiety was discovered that was a potent inhibitor against BVDV. Further optimization resulted in a structurally

The aim of this study was to isolate a compound from blood plasma that inhibits intestinal diarrhea and that appears also to regulate fluid volumes in other organs. The isolation procedure included lipid extraction, liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography. The active substance was identified

BACKGROUND Endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) inhibits intestinal motility and visceral pain, but it may also be proalgesic through transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1). AEA is degraded by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). This study explored whether dual inhibition of FAAH and TRPV1

Cryptosporidium parvum is an enteric protozoan parasite that has emerged as a major cause of diarrhea, malnutrition, and gastroenteritis and poses a potential bioterrorism threat. C. parvum synthesizes guanine nucleotides from host adenosine in a streamlined pathway that relies on inosine

HIV-1 infected patients can manifest a number of poorly understood conditions including dermatitis, dementia, and diarrhea. These conditions are in some ways suggestive of pellagra, the syndrome associated with niacin depletion. We demonstrate here that nicotinamide, the amide form of niacin,

The compound CMB-401 is an immunoconjugate consisting of the monoclonal antibody (MAb) hCTM01 directed against polymorphic epithelial mucin covalently bound to the cytotoxic antibiotic calicheamicin by an amide linker. We evaluated CMB-401 as monotherapy for the treatment of recurrent

Cannabinoid agonist inhibits gastrointestinal motility. The endocannabinoid, anandamide, is inactivated by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). A single nucleotide polymorphism in the human FAAH gene (C385A) reduces FAAH expression. Our aim was to evaluate associations between FAAH genotype variation

OBJECTIVE To report a case of simultaneous erythema nodosum and erythema multiforme after local lidocaine injection. METHODS A 33-year-old female experienced coexisting erythema nodosum and erythema multiforme after lidocaine spray was used for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The reaction was

Experiments are reported upon young rhesus monkeys which were given a diet essentially the same as the Goldberger black tongue-producing diet, supplemented in various ways. Those receiving the unsupplemented diet developed the syndrome characterized by leucopenia, anemia, gingivitis, diarrhea, and

We previously demonstrated that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of protein kinase C (PKC) or protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors reversed morphine antinociceptive tolerance in 3-day morphine-pelleted mice. The present study aimed at evaluating whether pre-treating mice with a PKC or

Cholera toxin (CT) and the closely related heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (LT) are responsible for numerous cases of diarrhea worldwide, leading to considerable morbidity and mortality. The B subunits of these heterohexameric AB(5) toxins form a pentameric arrangement which is

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) was predicted, based on the proglucagon gene sequence. It is synthesised by specific post-translational processing in L cells (lower intestine) and secreted mainly as "truncated" GLP-1 [7-36 amide] in response to nutrient ingestion. Glucagon-like peptide-1 stimulates

To enhance the anti-coccidial effect of dinitolmide and reduce its residual, the dinitolmide/MMT compounds were synthesized by the method of solution intercalation via dinitolmide intercalated into Na + -montmorillonite (Na + -MMT). The structure of compounds was characterized by X-ray diffraction

In four dogs, the diarrhea, increased salivation and mucous membrane lesions characteristic of blacktongue were relieved within 24 hours following the administration of 150 mgs nicotinic amide, whereas the lacrimation, photophobia and extreme injection of the eye vessels did not diminish. These
