R-Deprenyl: Pharmacological Spectrum of its Activity
Deprenyl has been discovered by Knoll and co-workers. The R-enantiomer of deprenyl (selegiline) is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of the B-isoform of monoamine oxidase (MAO-B) enzyme. Due to its dopamine ...

Cytoprotective effect of (−)-deprenyl, (−)desmethyl-deprenyl and (−)deprenyl-N-oxide on glutathione depleted A-2058 melanoma cells
Postulated cytoprotective action of (−)-deprenyl (D), (−)-desmethyl-deprenyl (DD) and (−)-deprenyl-N-oxide (DNO) on l-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) toxicity was investigated using in vitro cultures of serum-...

Open AccessEffect of a novel somatostatin analogue combined with cytotoxic drugs on human tumour xenografts and metastasis of B16 melanoma
A novel somatostatin analogue, TT-232 (which inhibits the proliferation of various cell cultures and transplantable mouse tumours), was examined regarding its effect on human melanoma and lymphoma xenografts a...

Open AccessAntitumor effect of lysine-isopeptides
Isopeptides (ε-peptides) of lysine, with a given Mw and low polydispersity (10–400 units), were synthesized to study the relationship between their chemical structure and biological effect. The designed compou...

Apoptosis in Various Organs of Preterm Infants: Histopathologic Study of Lung, Kidney, Liver, and Brain of Ventilated Infants
Apoptosis, the well-characterized form of active programmed cell death, is a physiologic phenomenon in embryonal and fetal life in develo** organs. Severe hypoxia, which occurs in most preterm infants, also ...

Anti-apoptotic and apoptotic action of (2)-deprenyl and its metabolites
The mode of cytoprotective action of the monoamine oxydase B inhibitor (−)-deprenyl was studied using A-2058 human melanoma cells in culture. Serum deprivation caused apoptosis of the cultured cells, which co...

Open AccessAntagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) inhibit IGF-II production and growth of HT-29 human colon cancers
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II are implicated in progression of various tumours including colorectal carcinomas. To interfere with the production of IGFs, we treated male nude mice bearing xenogra...

Determination of Endogenous Formaldehyde in Plants (Fruits) Bound to L-Arginine and its Relation to the Folate Cycle, Photosynthesis and Apoptosis
A very powerful nucleophilic reagent, hydralazine(l-hydrazino-phtalazine) proved to be suitable for determination of the endogenous formaldehyde level in biological samples. It was found that in different plan...

The pharmacology of B-type selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors; milestones in (−)-deprenyl research
(−)-deprenyl cannot be considered as a simple, selective inhibitor of MAO-B. It increases the dopaminergic tone in the central nervous system by a complex mechanism. The MAO-B inhibition could result in a pote...
