ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Biological Activity of Some New Pyridazine Derivatives.

This review presents most of the literature data about synthesis and biological activity of pyridopyridazine derivatives. There are six structural isomers of the bicyclic ring system containing pyridine moiety condensed with pyridazine nucleus. Pyridopyridazine derivatives show antitumor, antibacterial, analgesic and diuretics activities. The derivatives have been identified as the selective phosphodiesterase 5 and phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors. Pyridopyridazines are novel class of GABA-A receptor benzodiazepine binding site ligands. Some of pyrido[3,2-c]pyridazine derivatives possess molluscicidal activity and can be used as biodegradable agrochemicals. The broad spectrum of biological activity of pyridopyridazine derivatives is the main reason for the preparation of new compounds containing this scaffold.

Type Particle

We have reported the maturation of an intracisternal A-type particle in murine plasma cell tumor cultures and three human tumor cell cultures (rhabdomyosarcoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and osteogenic sarcoma) after IUDR-DMSO activation. In all of these studies the A-type particle seems to develop into a form with an electron dense nucleoid, presumably mature, which is also intracisternal. A similar intracisternal A-type particle has been described in leukemic guinea pigs. Although no biological activity has yet been demonstrated for these particles, on morphologic grounds, and by the manner in which they develop within the cell, they may represent members of the same family of viruses.

Close Proximity

Microtubules (MT) are versatile organelles participating in a wide variety of biological activity. MT involvement in the movement and transport of cytoplasmic components has been well documented. In the course of our study on trauma-induced vasogenic edema in the spinal cord we have concluded that endothelial vesicles contribute to the edema process. Using horseradish peroxidase as a vascular tracer, labeled endothelial vesicles were present in all situations expected if a vesicular transport mechanism was in operation. Frequently,labeled vesicles coalesced to form channels that appeared to traverse the endothelium. The presence of MT in close proximity to labeled vesicles sugg ested that MT may play a role in vesicular activity.
