Measurement of fibrinolysis in rat system by one-dimensional diffusion method

Zusammenfassung Feststellung, dass die eindimensionale Diffusions-Methode eine sensitive, einfache und reproduzierbare Technik zur Bestimmung der Veränderungen der fibrinolytischen Aktivität bei Ratten ist.     

Prednisolon-Na-succinat und die Phagozytose der Leukozyten

Summary Intravenous administration of 3 mg/kg body weight prednisolon-Na-succinate (P) decreased, after 24 h, by 30% the bacterial phagocytosis of leukocytes of rabbits. After 48 h, the effect became a slight increase. At a dosis of 0.3 mg/kg, P exerts a stimulating effect which ceases within some hours. Inin vitro experiments, it showed increased or decreased action depending upon the concentration. When perfused through the liver, the efficacy of P rises strikingly.     

Occurrence of mitochondrial monoamine oxidase in human semen.

Mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) was found in human semen, showing its Km and Vmax values of 91.7 microM and 290 pmoles/mg of protein/60 min, respectively, with kynuramine as substrate. A major part of the activity was due to type A MAO.     

Oxidation of synephrine by type A and type B monoamine oxidase.

Synephrine (SP) was found to be a substrate for monoamine oxidase (MAO) in rat brain mitochondria, showing the Km and Vmax values of 250 microM and 32.6 nmoles/mg of protein/30 min respectively. The inhibition studies showed that the SP oxidation was carried out by both type A and type B MAO and a major part of the activity was due to type A MAO.     

Neue Synthesen des Chloramphenicols und deren stereochemischen Beziehungen

Summary Two new syntheses of Chloramphenicol are described starting from the diastereoisomers of -phenylserinmethyl ether and cinnamyl alcohol methyl ether respectively. The configurational correlation of the diastereoisomers of -phenylserin-methyl ether with -phenylserin and chloramphenicol is discussed. A new method for transforming erythro--phenylserinol into threo--phenylserinol is described. New examples of the Neighboring group effect were studied. The sterical course of the addition of methylhypobromite to the double bond is discussed.
