Abstract
Over the past few years, graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has gained prominence as a template to grow transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) overlayers. The resulting two-dimensional (2D) TMD/graphene vertical heterostructures are attractive for optoelectronic and energy applications. However, the effects of the microstructural heterogeneities of graphene grown by CVD on the growth of the TMD overlayers are relatively unknown. Here, we present a detailed investigation of how the stacking order and twist angle of CVD graphene influence the nucleation of WSe2 triangular crystals. Through the combination of experiments and theory, we correlate the presence of interlayer dislocations in bilayer graphene with how WSe2 nucleates, in agreement with the observation of a higher nucleation density of WSe2 on top of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene versus twisted bilayer graphene. Scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) data show that interlayer dislocations are present only in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene but not in twisted bilayer graphene. Atomistic ReaxFF reactive force field molecular dynamics simulations reveal that strain relaxation promotes the formation of these interlayer dislocations with localized buckling in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene, whereas the strain becomes distributed in twisted bilayer graphene. Furthermore, these localized buckles in graphene are predicted to serve as thermodynamically favorable sites for binding WSex molecules, leading to the higher nucleation density of WSe2 on Bernal-stacked graphene. Overall, this study explores synthesis-structure correlations in the WSe2/graphene vertical heterostructure system toward the site-selective synthesis of TMDs by controlling the structural attributes of the graphene substrate.

Abstract
As an easily disposable substrate with a microporous texture, paper is a well-suited, generic substrate to build analytical devices for studying bacteria. Using a multi-pass lasing process, cellulose-based laser-induced graphene (cLIG) with a sheet resistance of 43.7 ± 2.3 Ωsq-1 is developed and utilized in the fabrication of low-cost and environmentally-friendly paper sensor arrays. Two case studies with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli demonstrate the practicality of the cLIG sensors for the electrochemical analysis of bacteria. The first study measures the time-dependent profile of phenazines released from both planktonic (up to 60 h) and on-chip-grown (up to 22 h) Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures. While similarities do exist, marked differences in phenazine production are seen with cells grown directly on cLIG compared to the planktonic culture. Moreover, in planktonic cultures, pyocyanin levels increase early on and plateau around 20 h, while optical density measurements increase monotonically over the duration of testing. The second study monitors the viability and metabolic activity of Escherichia coli using a resazurin-based electrochemical assay. These results demonstrate the utility of cLIG paper sensors as an inexpensive and versatile platform for monitoring bacteria and could enable new opportunities in high-throughput antibiotic susceptibility testing, ecological studies, and biofilm studies.

Abstract
β-phase gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is an emerging ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor (EG ∼ 4.8 eV), which promises generational improvements in the performance and manufacturing cost over today's commercial wide bandgap power electronics based on GaN and SiC. However, overheating has been identified as a major bottleneck to the performance and commercialization of Ga2O3 device technologies. In this work, a novel Ga2O3/4H-SiC composite wafer with high heat transfer performance and an epi-ready surface finish has been developed using a fusion-bonding method. By taking advantage of low-temperature metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy, a Ga2O3 epitaxial layer was successfully grown on the composite wafer while maintaining the structural integrity of the composite wafer without causing interface damage. An atomically smooth homoepitaxial film with a room-temperature Hall mobility of ∼94 cm2/Vs and a volume charge of ∼3 × 1017 cm-3 was achieved at a growth temperature of 600 °C. Phonon transport across the Ga2O3/4H-SiC interface has been studied using frequency-domain thermoreflectance and a differential steady-state thermoreflectance approach. Scanning transmission electron microscopy analysis suggests that phonon transport across the Ga2O3/4H-SiC interface is dominated by the thickness of the SiNx bonding layer and an unintentionally formed SiOx interlayer. Extrinsic effects that impact the thermal conductivity of the 6.5 μm thick Ga2O3 layer were studied via time-domain thermoreflectance. Thermal simulation was performed to estimate the improvement of the thermal performance of a hypothetical single-finger Ga2O3 metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor fabricated on the composite substrate. This novel power transistor topology resulted in a ∼4.3× reduction in the junction-to-package device thermal resistance. Furthermore, an even more pronounced cooling effect is demonstrated when the composite wafer is implemented into the device design of practical multifinger devices. These innovations in device-level thermal management give promise to the full exploitation of the promising benefits of the UWBG material, which will lead to significant improvements in the power density and efficiency of power electronics over current state-of-the-art commercial devices.

Abstract
Heteroepitaxy of β-phase gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) thin films on foreign substrates shows promise for the development of next-generation deep ultraviolet solar blind photodetectors and power electronic devices. In this work, the influences of the film thickness and crystallinity on the thermal conductivity of (2̅01)-oriented β-Ga2O3 heteroepitaxial thin films were investigated. Unintentionally doped β-Ga2O3 thin films were grown on c-plane sapphire substrates with off-axis angles of 0° and 6° toward ⟨112̅0⟩ via metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. The surface morphology and crystal quality of the β-Ga2O3 thin films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The thermal conductivities of the β-Ga2O3 films were measured via time-domain thermoreflectance. The interface quality was studied using scanning transmission electron microscopy. The measured thermal conductivities of the submicron-thick β-Ga2O3 thin films were relatively low as compared to the intrinsic bulk value. The measured thin film thermal conductivities were compared with the Debye-Callaway model incorporating phononic parameters derived from first-principles calculations. The comparison suggests that the reduction in the thin film thermal conductivity can be partially attributed to the enhanced phonon-boundary scattering when the film thickness decreases. They were found to be a strong function of not only the layer thickness but also the film quality, resulting from growth on substrates with different offcut angles. Growth of β-Ga2O3 films on 6° offcut sapphire substrates was found to result in higher crystallinity and thermal conductivity than films grown on on-axis c-plane sapphire. However, the β-Ga2O3 films grown on 6° offcut sapphire exhibit a lower thermal boundary conductance at the β-Ga2O3/sapphire heterointerface. In addition, the thermal conductivity of MOVPE-grown (2̅01)-oriented β-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 thin films with Al compositions ranging from 2% to 43% was characterized. Because of phonon-alloy disorder scattering, the β-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 films exhibit lower thermal conductivities (2.8-4.7 W/m·K) than the β-Ga2O3 thin films. The dominance of the alloy disorder scattering in β-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 is further evidenced by the weak temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity. This work provides fundamental insight into the physical interactions that govern phonon transport within heteroepitaxially grown β-phase Ga2O3 and (AlxGa1-x)2O3 thin films and lays the groundwork for the thermal modeling and design of β-Ga2O3 electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Graphene shows great promise not only as a highly conductive flexible and transparent electrode for fabricating novel device architectures but also as an ideal synthesis platform for studying fundamental growth mechanisms of various materials. In particular, directly depositing metal phthalocyanines (MPc's) on graphene is viewed as a compelling approach to improve the performance of organic photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes. In this work, we systematically investigate the ZnPc physical vapor deposition (PVD) on graphene either as-grown on Cu or as-transferred on various substrates including Si(100), C-plane sapphire, SiO2/Si, and h-BN. To better understand the effect of the substrate on the ZnPc structure and morphology, we also compare the ZnPc growth on highly crystalline single- and multilayer graphene. The experiments show that, for identical deposition conditions, ZnPc exhibits various morphologies such as high-aspect-ratio nanowires or a continuous film when changing the substrate supporting graphene. ZnPc morphology is also found to transition from a thin film to a nanowire structure when increasing the number of graphene layers. Our observations suggest that substrate-induced changes in graphene affect the adsorption, surface diffusion, and arrangement of ZnPc molecules. This study provides clear guidelines to control MPc crystallinity, morphology, and molecular orientations which drastically influence the (opto)electronic properties.

Abstract
Radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based on Al1-xScxN are replacing AlN-based devices because of their higher achievable bandwidths, suitable for the fifth-generation (5G) mobile network. However, overheating of Al1-xScxN film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) used in RF MEMS filters limits power handling and thus the phone's ability to operate in an increasingly congested RF environment while maintaining its maximum data transmission rate. In this work, the ramifications of tailoring of the piezoelectric response and microstructure of Al1-xScxN films on the thermal transport have been studied. The thermal conductivity of Al1-xScxN films (3-8 W m-1 K-1) grown by reactive sputter deposition was found to be orders of magnitude lower than that for c-axis-textured AlN films due to alloying effects. The film thickness dependence of the thermal conductivity suggests that higher frequency FBAR structures may suffer from limited power handling due to exacerbated overheating concerns. The reduction of the abnormally oriented grain (AOG) density was found to have a modest effect on the measured thermal conductivity. However, the use of low AOG density films resulted in lower insertion loss and thus less power dissipated within the resonator, which will lead to an overall enhancement of the device thermal performance.

Abstract
A thorough understanding of native oxides is essential for designing semiconductor devices. Here, we report a study of the rate and mechanisms of spontaneous oxidation of bulk single crystals of ZrSxSe2-x alloys and MoS2. ZrSxSe2-x alloys oxidize rapidly, and the oxidation rate increases with Se content. Oxidation of basal surfaces is initiated by favorable O2 adsorption and proceeds by a mechanism of Zr-O bond switching, that collapses the van der Waals gaps, and is facilitated by progressive redox transitions of the chalcogen. The rate-limiting process is the formation and out-diffusion of SO2. In contrast, MoS2 basal surfaces are stable due to unfavorable oxygen adsorption. Our results provide insight and quantitative guidance for designing and processing semiconductor devices based on ZrSxSe2-x and MoS2 and identify the atomistic-scale mechanisms of bonding and phase transformations in layered materials with competing anions.

Abstract
The higher critical electric field of β-gallium oxide (Ga2O3) gives promise to the development of next generation power electronic devices with improved size, weight, power, and efficiency over current state-of-the-art wide bandgap devices based on 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). However, it is expected that Ga2O3 devices will encounter serious thermal issues due to the poor thermal conductivity of the material. In this work, self-heating in Ga2O3 Schottky barrier diodes under different regimes of the diode operation was investigated using diverse optical thermography techniques including thermoreflectance thermal imaging, micro-Raman thermography, and infrared thermal microscopy. 3D coupled electro-thermal modeling was used to validate experimental results and to understand the mechanism of heat generation for the diode structures. Measured top-side and cross-sectional temperature fields suggest that device and circuit engineers should account for the concentrated heat generation that occurs near the anode/Ga2O3 interface and/or the lightly doped drift layer under both forward and high voltage reverse bias conditions. Results of this study suggest that electro-thermal co-design techniques and top-side thermal management solutions are necessary to exploit the full potential of the Ga2O3 material system.

Abstract
Adult subjects with high-grade VEA have an increased risk of sudden death. In all likelihood, the risk reflects a predisposition to VF with concomitant but possibly independently caused VEA. Among patients sustaining acute myocardial infarction, the severity of VEA late after infarction appears to depend primarily on the extent of underlying coronary artery disease and the extent of tissue damage sustained, as does the likelihood of sudden death. It is not yet clear whether suppression of one manifestation of severe coronary artery disease, namely VEA, confers protection against more serious manifestations - particularly sudden death. Although increased mortality among patients with and without overt coronary artery disease is associated with high-grade VEA and although the absolute frequency of PVCs is strongly correlated with severity defined with conventional classification schemes, frequent, unifocal PVCs in the absence of high-grade VEA appear to carry only a small associated risk of sudden death [56]. Furthermore, even though early PVCs may be particularly hazardous soon after the onset of acute myocardial infarction, they do not appear to be malignant during the hospital phase or among ambulatory patients with or without coronary artery disease. The temptation to suppress even low-grade VEA is strong because even a single PVC can initiate VF in the ischemic heart, and it is of course possible that suppression could prevent a single PVC from occurring after the onset of ischemia and initiating VF. However, suppression of PVCs, even if successful in an ambulatory patient, will not necessarily suppress VEA initiated by a new bout of ischemia. Accordingly, based on currently available information, low-grade VEA does not require treatment in our view in ambulatory patients without specific indications.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) atomic layers are synthesized on polycrystalline copper foils via a novel chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process that maintains a vapor-phase copper overpressure during growth. Compared to h-BN films grown without a copper overpressure, this process results in a >10× reduction of 3-dimensional BN fullerene-like surface features, a reduction of carbon and oxygen contamination of 65% and 62%, respectively, an increase in h-BN grain size of >2×, and an 89% increase in electrical breakdown strength.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a promising dielectric material for graphene-based electronic devices. Here we investigate the potential of h-BN gate dielectrics, grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), for integration with quasi-freestanding epitaxial graphene (QFEG). We discuss the large scale growth of h-BN on copper foil via a catalytic thermal CVD process and the subsequent transfer of h-BN to a 75 mm QFEG wafer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirm the absence of h-BN/graphitic domains and indicate that the film is chemically stable throughout the transfer process, while Raman spectroscopy indicates a 42% relaxation of compressive stress following removal of the copper substrate and subsequent transfer of h-BN to QFEG. Despite stress-induced wrinkling observed in the films, Hall effect measurements show little degradation (<10%) in carrier mobility for h-BN coated QFEG. Temperature dependent Hall measurements indicate little contribution from remote surface optical phonon scattering and suggest that, compared to HfO(2) based dielectrics, h-BN can be an excellent material for preserving electrical transport properties. Graphene transistors utilizing h-BN gates exhibit peak intrinsic cutoff frequencies >30 GHz (2.4× that of HfO(2)-based devices).

Abstract
We present a novel method for the direct metal-free growth of graphene on sapphire that yields high quality films comparable to that of graphene grown on SiC by sublimation. Graphene is synthesized on sapphire via the simple decomposition of methane at 1425-1600 °C. Film quality was found to be a strong function of growth temperature. The thickness, structure, interface characteristics, and electrical transport properties were characterized in order to understand the utility of this material for electronic devices. Graphene synthesized on sapphire is found to be strain relieved, with no evidence of an interfacial buffer layer. There is a strong correlation between the graphene structural quality and carrier mobility. Room temperature Hall effect mobility values were as high as 3000 cm(2)/(V s), while measurements at 2 K reached values of 10,500 cm(2)/(V s). These films also display evidence of the quantum Hall effect. Field effect transistors fabricated from this material had a typical current density of 200 mA/mm and transconductance of 40 mS/mm indicating that material performance may be comparable to graphene on SiC.

Abstract
We directly demonstrate the importance of buffer elimination at the graphene/SiC(0001) interface for high frequency applications. Upon successful buffer elimination, carrier mobility increases from an average of 800 cm(2)/(V s) to >2000 cm(2)/(V s). Additionally, graphene transistor current saturation increases from 750 to >1300 mA/mm, and transconductance improves from 175 mS/mm to >400 mS. Finally, we report a 10× improvement in the extrinsic current gain response of graphene transistors with optimal extrinsic current-gain cutoff frequencies of 24 GHz.

Abstract
We explore the effect of high-κ dielectric seed layer and overlayer on carrier transport in epitaxial graphene. We introduce a novel seeding technique for depositing dielectrics by atomic layer deposition that utilizes direct deposition of high-κ seed layers and can lead to an increase in Hall mobility up to 70% from as-grown. Additionally, high-κ seeded dielectrics are shown to produce superior transistor performance relative to low-κ seeded dielectrics and the presence of heterogeneous seed/overlayer structures is found to be detrimental to transistor performance, reducing effective mobility by 30-40%. The direct deposition of high-purity oxide seed represents the first robust method for the deposition of uniform atomic layer deposited dielectrics on epitaxial graphene that improves carrier transport.

Abstract
Large-size and high-quality ReCa(4)O(BO(3))(3) (ReCOB, Re = rare earth) single crystals were grown by the Czochralski pulling method. In this work, the electrical properties were investigated at room temperature and elevated temperature for YCa(4)O(BO(3))(3) (YCOB). The dielectric permittivity, piezoelectric strain coefficient, and electromechanical coupling were found to be on the order of 11, 6.5 pC/N, and 12.5%, respectively, with a high piezoelectric voltage coefficient around 0.067 Vm/N. The electrical resistivity of YCOB was found to be 2 x 10(8) Ohm.m at 800 degrees C, with Q values of 4,500 at 950 degrees C. The frequency/temperature coefficient of YCOB was found to be -75 to -85ppm/K in the temperature range of 30 to 950 degrees C, depending on the crystal orientations. Together with their temperature-independent properties, ReCOB crystals are promising candidates for sensing applications at elevated temperatures.

Abstract
Previously, we found pulmonary gas trapping to be a rapid, simple and objective measure of methacholine-induced airway obstruction in naïve mice. In this study we extended that finding by using methacholine-induced pulmonary gas trapping to differentiate airway responses of ovalbumin-sensitized, ovalbumin-exposed (Positive Control) and ovalbumin-sensitized, sodium chloride-exposed (Negative Control) mice. Additionally, pulmonary gas trapping and enhanced pause were compared following methacholine exposure in sensitized and nonsensitized mice. Finally, we examined by nose-only inhalation the ability of the glucocorticosteroid budesonide and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist ciglitazone to modify methacholine-induced airway responses in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. Positive Controls exhibited a 7.8-fold increase in sensitivity and a 2.4-fold enhancement in the maximal airway obstruction to methacholine versus Negative Controls. Following methacholine, individual Positive and Negative Control mouse enhanced pause values overlapped in 9 of 9 studies, whereas individual Positive and Negative Control mouse excised lung gas volume values overlapped in only 1 of 9 studies, and log[excised lung gas volume] correlated (P=0.023) with in vivo log[enhanced pause] in nonsensitized mice. Finally, budesonide (100.0 or 1000.0 microg/kg) reduced methacholine-mediated airway responses and eosinophils and neutrophils, whereas ciglitazone (1000.0 microg/kg) had no effect on methacholine-induced pulmonary gas trapping, but reduced eosinophils. In conclusion, pulmonary gas trapping is a more reproducible measure of methacholine-mediated airway responses in ovalbumin-sensitized mice than enhanced pause. Also, excised lung gas volume changes can be used to monitor drug interventions like budesonide. Finally, this study highlights the importance of running a positive comparator when examining novel treatments like ciglitazone.

Abstract
In asthmatic mice, dexamethasone (30.0 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily on Days 24-27. One hour after dexamethasone on Day 25-27, the mice were exposed to ovalbumin aerosols. Twenty-eight days after the initial ovalbumin immunization, we found that dexamethasone reduced methacholine-induced pulmonary gas trapping and inhibited bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils and neutrophils. However, five days after the last dose of dexamethasone and last ovalbumin aerosol exposure in other asthmatic mice, the airway obstructive response to methacholine was exacerbated in dexamethasone-treated mice compared to vehicle-treated mice on Day 32. Further, eosinophils, but not neutrophils, were still inhibited after cessation of dexamethasone. Thus, discontinuing dexamethasone worsened methacholine-induced pulmonary gas trapping of asthmatic mice in the absence of eosinophilic airway inflammation.

A vinyl azide cyclization method was used to synthesize three different carbocyclic[g]indole scaffolds as inhibitors of human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A2. Each scaffold demonstrated potent enzyme activity in a chromogenic assay system, with select examples also demonstrating potent activity in a secondary DOC/PC assay. Compound 11, representative of the cyclopent[g]indole series, gave an IC50 of 10 nM for the inhibition of hnps-PLA2 in the chromogenic assay.

Abstract
A systematic investigation of the structure-activity relationships of the C-3 side chain of the screening hit 1a led to the identification of the potent thrombin inhibitors 23c, 28c, and 31c. Their activities (1240, 903, and 1271 x 10(6) L/mol, respectively) represent 2200- and 2900-fold increases in potency over the starting lead 1a. This activity enhancement was accomplished with an increase of thrombin selectivity. The in vitro anticoagulant profiles of derivatives 28c and 31c were determined, and they compare favorably with the clinical agent H-R-1-[4aS, 8aS]perhydroisoquinolyl-prolyl-arginyl aldehyde (D-Piq-Pro-Arg-H; 32). The more potent members of this series have been studied in an arterial/venous shunt (AV shunt) model of thrombosis and were found to be efficacious in reducing clot formation. However, their efficacy is currently limited by their rapid and extensive distribution following administration.

Abstract
Potent, subnanomolar thrombin inhibitors 4, 5, and 6 are developed through side chain optimization of novel, benzo[b]thiophene-based small organic entities 2 and 3 and through SAR additivity studies of the new structural elements identified. X-ray crystallographic studies of 4b-thrombin complex revealed a hydrophobic and an electrostatic interaction of these new elements with thrombin at the S2 and S3 binding sites. In vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies showed that 4, 5, and 6 are potent anticoagulants in human plasma with demonstrated antithrombotic efficacy in a rat model of thrombosis.

LY315920 is a potent, selective inhibitor of recombinant human, group IIA, nonpancreatic secretory PLA2 (sPLA2). In a chromogenic isolated enzyme assay, LY315920 inhibited sPLA2 activity with an IC50 of 9 +/- 1 nM or 7.3 x 10(-6) mole fraction, which approached the stiochiometric limit of this assay. The true potency of LY315920 was defined using a deoxycholate/phosphatidylcholine assay with a mole fraction of 1.5 x 10(-6). LY315920 was 40-fold less active against human, group IB, pancreatic sPLA2 and was inactive against cytosolic PLA2 and the constitutive and inducible forms of cyclooxygenase. Human sPLA2-induced release of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) from isolated guinea pig lung bronchoalveolar lavage cells was inhibited by LY315920 with an IC50 of 0.79 microM. The release of TXA2 from these cells by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or arachidonic acid was not inhibited. The i.v. administration of LY315920, 5 min before harvesting the bronchoalveolar lavage cells, resulted in the inhibition of sPLA2-induced production of TXA2 with an ED50 of 16.1 mg/kg. Challenge of guinea pig lung pleural strips with sPLA2 produced contractile responses that were suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner by LY315920 with an apparent KB of 83 +/- 14 nM. Contractile responses induced by arachidonic acid were not altered. Intravenous or oral administration of LY315920 to transgenic mice expressing the human sPLA2 protein inhibited serum sPLA2 activity in a dose-related manner over a 4-h time course. LY315920 is a potent and selective sPLA2 inhibitor and represents a new class of anti-inflammatory agent designated SPI. This agent is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and should help to define the role of sPLA2 in various inflammatory disease states.

Abstract
The in vitro actions were investigated of LY293111, a potent and selective leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist, on human neutrophils, human blood fractions, guinea pig lung membranes, and guinea pig parenchymal and tracheal strips. The IC50 for inhibiting [3H]LTB4 binding to human neutrophils was 17.6 +/- 4.8 nM. LY293111 inhibited LTB4-induced human neutrophil aggregation (IC50 = 32 +/- 5 nM), luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (IC50 = 20 +/- 2 nM), chemotaxis (IC50 = 6.3 +/- 1.7 nM), and superoxide production by adherent cells (IC50 = 0.5 nM). Corresponding responses induced by N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine were inhibited by 100-fold higher concentrations of LY293111. LTB4 binding to guinea pig tissues and subsequent activation were also inhibited. The Ki for inhibition of [3H]LTB4 binding to lung membranes was 7.1 +/- 0.8 nM; IC50 for preventing binding of [3H]LTB4 to spleen membranes was 65 nM. The compound inhibited LTB4-induced contraction of guinea pig lung parenchyma. At 10 nM, LY293111 caused a parallel rightward shift of the LTB4 concentration-response curve. At higher concentrations, plots were shifted in a nonparallel manner, and maximum responses were depressed. LY293111 did not prevent antigen-stimulated contraction of sensitized trachea strips. At micromolar concentrations, LY293111 inhibited production of LTB4 and thromboxane B2 by plasma-depleted human blood stimulated with N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine and thrombin. In addition, at these higher concentrations, formation of LTB4 by A23187-activated whole blood and conversion of arachidonic acid to LTB4 by a human neutrophil cytosolic fraction were inhibited. In summary, LY293111 is a second-generation LTB4 receptor antagonist with much improved potency in a variety of functional assay systems.

Abstract
A family of sequence-related 2'-aminopyrimidine, 2'-hydroxylpurine aptamers, developed by oligonucleotide-based combinatorial chemistry, SELEX (systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment) technology, binds human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A2 (hnps-PLA2) with nanomolar affinities and inhibits enzymatic activity. Aptamer 15, derived from the family, binds hnps-PLA2 with a Kd equal to 1.7 +/- 0.2 nM and, in a standard chromogenic assay of enzymatic activity, inhibits hnps-PLA2 with an IC50 of 4 nM, at a mole fraction of substrate concentration of 4 x 10(-6) and a calculated Ki of 0.14 nM. Aptamer 15 is selective for hnps-PLA2, having a 25- and 2500-fold lower affinity, respectively, for the unrelated proteins human neutrophil elastase and human IgG. Contractions of guinea pig lung pleural strips induced by hnps-PLA2 are abolished by 0.3 microM aptamer 15, whereas contractions induced by arachidonic acid are not altered. The structure that is essential for binding and inhibition appears to be a 40-base hairpin/loop motif with an asymmetrical internal loop. The affinity and activity of the aptamers demonstrate the ability of the SELEX process to isolate antagonists of nonnucleic-acid-binding proteins from vast oligonucleotide combinatorial libraries.

Abstract
The American Heart Association is a large volunteer organization whose mission is to reduce disability and death due to heart disease and stroke. However, working in isolation, the Association has limited potential to achieve its goals. We must work as individuals, as an organization, and in coalition with other organizations to direct major public policy issues. Only in this way can we bring about substantial change on a national level. Some public advocacy accomplishments, and major priorities for the present and future, are reviewed. Readers are invited to lend their support.

Abstract
The preceding papers of this series detail the development of functionalized indole-3-acetamides as inhibitors of hnps-PLA2. We describe here the extension of the structure-activity relationship to include a series of indole-3-glyoxamide derivatives. Functionalized indole-3-glyoxamides with an acidic substituent appended to the 4- or 5-position of the indole ring were prepared and tested as inhibitors of hnps-PLA2. It was found that the indole-3-glyoxamides with a 4-oxyacetic acid substituent had optimal inhibitory activity. These inhibitors exhibited an improvement in potency over the best of the indole-3-acetamides, and LY315920 (6m) was selected for evaluation clinically as an hnps-PLA2 inhibitor.

Abstract
Phospholipases (PLAs) produce rate-limiting precursors in the biosynthesis of various types of biologically active lipids involved in inflammatory processes. Increased levels of human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A2 (hnps-PLA2) have been detected in several pathological conditions. An inhibitor of this enzyme could have therapeutic utility. A broad screening program was carried out to identify chemical structures which could inhibit hnps-PLA2. One of the lead compounds generated by the screening program was 5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-acetic acid (13a). We describe the syntheses, structure--activity relationships, and pharmacological activities of a series of indole-3-acetamides and related compounds derived from this lead. This SAR was undertaken with the aid of X-ray crystal structures of complexes between the inhibitors and hnps-PLA2 which were of great value in directing the SAR.

Abstract
As reported in our previous paper, a series of indole-3-acetamides which possessed potency and selectivity as inhibitors of human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A2(hnps-PLA2) was developed. The design of these compounds was based on information derived from x-ray crystal structures determined for complexes between the enzyme and its inhibitors. We describe here the further implementation of this structure-based design strategy and continued SAR development to produce indole-3-acetamides with additional functionalities which provide increased interaction with important residues within the enzyme active site. These efforts led to inhibitors with substantially enhanced potency and selectivity.

Abstract
Transgenic mice were created which overexpress human secretory non-pancreatic phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) pansomatically as a potential disease and drug-testing model. The mice were produced using a DNA construct in which the inducible mouse metallothionein gene promoter drives expression of a human sPLA2 minigene. High levels of sPLA2 were detected in several tissues by immunofluorescence localization. Expression in the testes caused hypospermia and male infertility. Circulating catalytically active sPLA2 could be induced to levels observed in patients undergoing a systemic inflammatory response but had no detectable effect on the mice. Therefore, these results suggest that sPLA2 hyperphospholipasemia alone may have only limited pathophysiological consequences. We further show that 3-[3-acetamide-1-benzyl-2-ethylindolyl-5-oxy]propane phosphonic acid LY311727), a potent new inhibitor of phospholipase A2 catalysis developed by our group, dramatically suppresses the circulating enzyme activity in these animals whereas 3-[3-acetamide-1-benzyl-2-propylindolyl-5-oxy]propane phosphonic acid (LY314024), a substantially less potent LY311727 analog, is without effect. These later results thus motivate the further development of this compound as a potential new therapeutic agent and valuable research tool.

Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to develop a functional assay that could provide rapid and reliable information on some pharmacologic characteristics of a novel inhibitor of human secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). Guinea pig bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, containing predominantly macrophages, eosinophils and epithelial cells, released thromboxane A2, as measured by thromboxane B2, in a concentration-dependent manner on exposure to recombinant human sPLA2 (rh-sPLA2). Similarly, n-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (n-F-Met-Leu-Phe) or arachidonic acid also released this lipid mediator. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, blocked synthesis of thromboxane in response to these agents. p-Bromophenacylbromide-inactivated rh-sPLA2 was substantially less effective than the untreated enzyme in causing release of thromboxane. LY311727 is a potent indole-derived inhibitor of the isolated enzyme (IC50 = 23 nM). Incubation of this agent with BAL cells, just before addition of rh-sPLA2, reduced release of thromboxane with an IC50 = 1.8 x 10(-6) M. Specificity for sPLA2 was demonstrated in that LY311727, unlike indomethacin, did not reduce synthesis and subsequent release of thromboxane A2 in response to arachidonic acid. Using this technique as a basis, we determined whether LY311727 could sufficiently accumulate in lung after i.v. administration to inhibit rh-sPLA2-induced thromboxane A2 release from BAL cells. The compound, given i.v. to guinea pigs 5 min before collecting BAL fluid, produced a dose-dependent inhibition of rh-sPLA2 with an ED50 = 50 mg/kg. Thus, new in vitro and ex vivo assays were developed that permit functional evaluation of novel sPLA2 inhibitors. These techniques should serve as secondary assays for evaluation of human sPLA2 inhibitory activity from a chemical series and in addition provide initial data related to metabolic stability and distribution to the lung.

Abstract
1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylenyl)-1H-imidazole, nitric acid salt (LY150310), was examined for bronchodilator activity in the guinea pig. In guinea pig tracheal preparations, LY150310 competitively antagonized the contractile effects of exogenous histamine and blocked the histamine-mediated component of contractions produced by ovalbumin challenge. LY150310 had little effect on the nonhistamine component of ovalbumin-induced contractions of lung parenchymal strips, but it enhanced the production of prostaglandin (PG) E2 and PGF2 alpha although it partially inhibited thromboxane B2 formation. In other studies, in which postmortem pulmonary gas trapping was used as an index of in vivo airway obstruction, i.v. LY150310 dose-dependently inhibited the bronchospasm produced by aerosols of the divalent cationic ionophore A23187, histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, leukotriene D4, methacholine, ovalbumin or platelet activating factor. LY150310 was equal to or more potent than aminophylline in all test systems. Also, orally administered LY150310 inhibited the airway obstruction produced by selected challenge aerosols. In ex vivo studies, LY150310 elevated PGE2 and tended to decrease thromboxane B2 in sodium arachidonate-stimulated whole blood. However, PGE2 and other cyclooxygenase products did not appear to account for in vivo bronchodilation, because combining LY150310 and piroxicam did not alter inhibition of A23187-induced airway obstruction. Our results demonstrate that LY150310 reduces airway obstruction caused by a variety of bronchoconstrictive agents, including A23187 and ovalbumin. Although this substituted imidazole appears to have activity as a histamine H1-receptor antagonist and can alter prostanoid concentrations in vitro and in vivo, its mode of bronchodilation is unclear.

Abstract
Contractile activities of nPLA2, pPLA2 and hPLA2 were characterized on pleural strips of guinea pig lung. The rank order of potency for these PLA2s was nPLA2 > pPLA2 > hPLA2. The concentration-related contractions induced by nPLA2 (0.0002-0.67 micrograms/ml), pPLA2 (0.006-20 micrograms/ml) and hPLA2 (0.1-30 micrograms/ml) appear to be mediated primarily by the formation of cyclooxygenase products and to a lesser extent by 5-lipoxygenase products, as revealed by experiments using indomethacin and BW A4C. To further support a PLA2-related mechanism, the selectivity and inhibitory effects of two irreversible PLA2 inhibitors, parabromophenacyl bromide (pBPB) and manoalogue, were evaluated against the contractile responses induced by each PLA2. Various concentrations of manoalogue and pBPB were incubated with individual PLA2s for 24 hr before initiating experiments. Both agents suppressed each PLA2-induced contractile activity in a concentration-related manner. The inhibitory effects of pBPB were similar at the highest concentration, whereas manoalogue was more effective in blocking contractions induced by pPLA2 and hPLA2. Conversely, methylated manoalogue, an inactive analog, failed to reduce the PLA2-induced contractions. These results demonstrate that hPLA2 has the ability to catalytically induce the release of arachidonic acid and the formation of proinflammatory eicosanoids that contract the pleural strips. This tissue bath preparation may be a useful model for the evaluation of novel PLA2 inhibitors as potentially useful therapeutic agents.

Abstract
We have demonstrated previously that porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-induced contractions of guinea pig lung pleural strips can be abated by inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathways, suggesting the liberation of arachidonic acid. To validate further the involvement of a PLA2-related mechanism, the effects of three known inhibitors of PLA2 were evaluated. Manoalogue, an irreversible inhibitor of PLA2, parabromophenacyl bromide, an irreversible, active site directed inhibitor and a transition-state analog, a competitive inhibitor of PLA2 were used. Transition-state analog (3-30 microM), added to the tissues for 30 min before PLA2, shifted the PLA2 curves to the right in a concentration-related manner. In contrast, the reported inactive enantiomer of transition-state analog failed to alter the PLA2 curves. Manoalogue and para-bromophenacyl bromide, at concentrations up to 40- and 50-fold higher than the enzyme concentration, respectively, were incubated in Krebs' buffer with the enzyme for 24 hr before challenging the tissues. Under these conditions, the PLA2-induced contractions were suppressed markedly. In contrast, neither reduced nor methylated manoalogue, incubated at a 20-fold molar excess with PLA2 for 24 hr, suppressed the maximal PLA2-induced responses. These results demonstrate that inhibitors of secretory PLA2, acting by different mechanisms, can alter the contractile responses induced by PLA2 on pleural strips from guinea pig lung.

Abstract
1,6-Substituted and 3,5-substituted indoles and indazoles containing acylamino and N-arylsulfonyl amide appendages are potent antagonists of the peptidoleukotrienes LTD4 and LTE4. A compound from the 3,5-substituted indole series, N-[4-[[5-[[(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]amino]-1-methylindol- 3-yl]methyl]-3-methoxybenzoyl]-2-methyl-benzenesulfonamide (ICI 204,219), is undergoing clinical evaluation for asthma. Two new elements of structural diversity were introduced to this series of antagonists. An investigation of pyrrole substituents in the 1,6-substituted indoles demonstrated that substitution at C-2 was detrimental to biological activity, but the incorporation of hydrophilic groups at C-3 was beneficial. The introduction of a propionamide moiety at C-3 enhanced activity by 1 order of magnitude; N-[4-[[6-(cyclopentylacetamido)-3-[2-(N- methylcarbamoyl)ethyl]indol-1-yl]methyl]-3-methoxy- benzoyl]benzenesulfonamide (15c) has a pKB of 10.7 at the LTD4 receptor on guinea pig trachea. Modifications of the acylamino portion of the disubstituted antagonists demonstrated that a transposition of the amide CO and NH atoms was viable. N-Cyclopentylmethyl amides in both the 1,6- and 3,5-disubstituted indole series were 1 order of magnitude less potent than the corresponding cyclopentylacetamides. In both series this potency loss could be regained by the incorporation of a propionamide substituent at either C-3 or N-1, respectively. For example, N-[4-[[6-[N-(cyclopentylmethyl)carbamoyl]-3-[2-(pyrrolidin-1 - methylbenzenesulfonamide (39c) has a pKB of 9.5.

Abstract
The contractile nature of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) was characterized on paired pleural strips obtained from guinea pig lung. PLA2 (0.003-10 U/ml) produced concentration-related contractile responses which were sensitive to various drugs. The major component of the PLA2-induced contractions was derived from products of the cyclooxygenase pathway since a cyclooxygenase inhibitor or the combination of a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor and a thromboxane receptor antagonist produced a 54-65% reduction of the contractile responses. 5-Lipoxygenase products contributed to a smaller component of the PLA2-induced responses since 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors or the combination of a leukotriene (LT) B4 receptor antagonist and an LTD4/LTE4 receptor antagonist only suppressed the maximal responses 22-32%. PLA2-induced contractile responses were nearly abolished by altering both sides of the arachidonic acid cascade simultaneously. In contrast, a PAF receptor antagonist, a histamine (H1) receptor antagonist and an acetylcholine receptor antagonist, failed to significantly reduce PLA2-induced responses. These results demonstrate that exogenous administration of porcine pancreatic PLA2 produced concentration-dependent contractions of pleural strips mediated through the generation of eicosanoids.

Abstract
Guinea pigs are widely used in the study of the role of leukotrienes in airway pathophysiology. Extensive research efforts have utilized this species in the development of potential therapeutic agents associated with inhibition of leukotriene production (e.g. 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein antagonists) for the treatment of acute bronchospasm in asthma. We now report, for the first time, an ex vivo whole blood 5-lipoxygenase assay in guinea pigs which should prove useful in the future development of leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors. Addition of 150 microM arachidonic acid (AA) to heparinized whole blood for 5 min prior to the stimulation with 20 micrograms/mL A23187 resulted in a 10-fold increase in leukotriene B4 (LTB4; 11.36 +/- 1.55 ng/mL) above basal (0.96 +/- 0.29 ng/mL) within 10 min. To further validate the utility of the assay, we utilized the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor BW A4C. Pretreatment of guinea pig whole blood with BW A4C in vitro prior to stimulation resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of LTB4 production (IC50 = 229 nM), whereas thromboxane B2 (TXB2) production was unaffected. Likewise, when BW A4C was administered to guinea pigs intravenously (3 mg/kg), we observed a rapid and marked (approximately 90%) reduction in whole blood LTB4 production which returned to control (pre-drug values) by 5 hr. In contrast, TXB2 production was unaffected over the same experimental time period. In summary, we have described a whole blood assay which can discriminate 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, this assay system will be of use in determining the potency, efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacodynamic properties of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors in guinea pigs.

Abstract
A quantitative method to assess relative potencies (IC50) of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) enzyme inhibitors was established in antigen-induced contractions of tracheas isolated from actively sensitized guinea pigs (Schultz-Dale model). The relative potencies of four purported 5-LO inhibitors determined in this tissue assay were compared with those from a crude enzyme preparation isolated from guinea pig neutrophils. All compounds suppressed ovalbumin (OA)-induced tracheal contractions in a concentration-related manner in the presence of indomethacin and pyrilamine. IC50 Values, determined from the percent inhibition values obtained from responses at 30 ng/mL OA of these compounds ranged from 0.56-15 microM. A similar rank order of potency for inhibition of 5-HETE formation from a crude enzyme preparation was observed. This suggested that these agents had a common mechanism of action in the two assay systems and further validated the IC50 values determined in trachea assay. LY171883, an LTD4/LTE4 receptor antagonist, also suppressed OA-induced contractions concentration dependently with an IC50 of 4.9 microM determined by this method. LTD4 concentration-response curves were not altered by any of the four 5-LO inhibitors, ruling out the possibility that these agents were acting as LT receptor antagonists. Results of this study demonstrated that relative potencies of 5-LO inhibitors can be quantitatively assessed using this airway tissue model, which helps in identifying potential therapeutic agents for asthma.

Abstract
The bioconversion of leukotriene (LT) C4 to LTD4 via gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase is clearly defined in guinea pig trachea. Acivicin, an inhibitor of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, was used to study the contractile responses elicited by either endogenously released or exogenously administered LTC4 and the antagonistic nature of LY 171883 and ICI 204,219, LTD4/LTE4 receptor antagonists, on guinea pig tracheal strips. Pretreating tracheal strips with acivicin resulted in a concentration-related, selective leftward shift in the LTC4 concentration-response curves. Potency of LTC4 was increased 3-fold. Likewise, antigen concentration response curves were potentiated in acivicin-pretreated tissues. Antagonism of LTC4 and antigen contractile responses by LY 171883 and ICI 204,219 were reduced or abolished by acivicin-pretreatment. In contrast, these receptor antagonists effectively blocked LTD4 responses in control and acivicin-pretreated tissues. The results demonstrated that inhibition of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase by acivicin blocked the bioconversion of LTC4 to LTD4 regardless of the source of LTC4. Data indicated that endogenously formed LTC4 was able to activate the LTC4 receptor in guinea pig tracheal strips.

Abstract
A systematic structure-activity exploration of the carboxylic acid region in a series of indole- or indazole-derived leukotriene antagonists 1 led to several discoveries. Use of the 3-methoxy-p-tolyl fragment (illustrated in acid 1) for connecting the indole and the acidic site provides the most potent carboxylic acids 1, tetrazoles 20, and aryl sulfonimides 21. The aryl sulfonimides are 5-500 times more potent (in vitro and/or in vivo) than the corresponding carboxylic acids 1. The o-tolyl sulfonimides such as 114 show greater oral potency than the phenyl sulfonimides at a given level of in vitro activity. Acidic keto sulfone derivatives 10 (Nu = CH-(CO2CH3)SO2Ph) mimic the activity of the sulfonimides.

Abstract
The dissociation constants (KB) at the LTD4 receptor on guinea pig trachea of a series of monocyclic and bicyclic cyclopentylurethane and cyclopentylacetamide N-arylsulfonyl amides have been measured. The KB was found to be remarkably tolerant of changes in the electronic constitution and lipophilicity of the bicyclic ring system (template). Thus, N-[4[[6-[[(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]amino]benzimidazol-1- yl]methyl]-3-methoxybenzoyl]benzenesulfonamide (11a) and N-[4-[[5-[[(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]amino]benzo[b]thien-3- yl]methyl]-3-methoxybenzoyl]benzene-sulfonamide (25a) had closely similar affinities (pKB, 9.20 and 9.31, respectively; LTE4 as agonist). It has been shown that the hetero-ring of the template need not be aromatic in order to achieve high affinity, since indoline 31 and 2,3-dihydrobenz-1,4-oxazines 37a-c had pKBs greater than 9. Further, it has been shown that an o-aminophenone (see 42 and Figure 3) can function as a template; the template in 42 [see iii] is bicyclic by virtue of the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. In contrast, when the template is a phenyl ring (48), receptor affinity is markedly reduced. These findings support the notion that central bicyclic ring system in this family of peptidoleukotriene antagonists is a molecular feature which helps to preorganize the acylamino and acidic chains and thereby facilitate the molecular recognition event.

Abstract
A perception of structural similarities between two independent series of leukotriene antagonists (one emanating from FPL 55712 and one based upon the leukotrienes themselves) led to the discovery of a novel class of indole and indazole derived antagonists of peptidoleukotrienes. A systematic exploration of C-6 substituted 4-(indol-1-ylmethyl)-3-methoxybenzoic acids identified cyclopentylacetamide and cyclopentylurethane as preferred substituents. The corresponding indazoles were equipotent. These compounds are selective leukotriene antagonists with pKB values of 7.5-7.8 vs LTE4 on guinea pig trachea.

Abstract
1,3,5-Substituted indoles and indazoles have been studied as receptor antagonists of the peptidoleukotrienes. The best of these compounds generally had a methyl group at the N1 position, a [(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]amino or 2-cyclopentylacetamido or N'-cyclopentylureido group at the C-5 position, and an arylsulfonyl amide group as part of the acidic chain at the C-3 position of the ring. Such compounds had in vitro dissociation constants (KB) in the range 10(-9) - 10(-11) M on guinea pig trachea against LTE4 as agonist and inhibition constants (Ki) less than or equal to 10(-9) M on guinea pig parenchymal membranes against [3H]LTD4. A number of compounds were orally effective at doses less than or equal to 1 mg/kg in blocking LTD4-induced "dyspnea" in guinea pigs. Compound 45 [N-[4-[[5-[[(cyclopentyloxy)carbonyl]-amino]-1-methylindol-3- yl]methyl]-3-methoxybenzoyl]-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide, ICI 204,219; pKB = 9.67 +/- 0.13, Ki = 0.3 +/- 0.03 nM, po ED50 = 0.3 mg/kg] is currently under clinical investigation for asthma. In the indole series, certain alkylsulfonyl amides possessing a 3-cyanobenzyl substituent at the N-1 position (60, 61) were produced that had KB less than or equal to 10(-9) M on guinea pig trachea.

Abstract
The actions of the peptide leukotrienes (LT) LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4 and phenylephrine (PE) were studied in isolated left branches of the guinea-pig pulmonary artery (GPPA). Indomethacin 5 x 10(-6) M enhanced both the potency and maximal response of all agonists, but the effect on LTD4 and LTE4 was larger. The influence of indomethacin suggests the release of an endogenous vasodilating cyclooxygenase product in GPPA. In the presence of indomethacin the rank-order of potency was LTC4 greater than LTD4 greater than LTE4 greater than or equal to PE with respective pD2 values of 7.65, 7.39, 6.35 and 6.26. All further studies were carried out in the presence of 5 x 10(-6) M indomethacin. Removal of the endothelium further increased both potency (greater than 3-fold) and the maximal response of all agonists tested, indicating that a non-cyclooxygenase endothelium-dependent relaxing factor may be present in GPPA. In separate studies, GPPA was demonstrated capable of metabolizing 3H-LTC4 to 3H-LTD4 by an L-serine borate inhibitable gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. In contrast, relatively little formation of 3H-LTE4 was apparent either from 3H-LTC4 or 3H-LTD4. The LTD4-selective antagonists, LY 171,883 and ICI 198,615 had -log molar KB values of 6.07 +/- 0.14 and 9.38 +/- 0.32, respectively, against LTD4 in the absence of endothelium. The ability of LY 171,883 to antagonize LTC4 was eliminated in the presence of 45 mM serine borate in endothelium denuded tissues. LT receptors in GPPA appear to be heterogeneous and similar to guinea pig airway receptors.

Abstract
ICI 204,219 (4-(5-cyclopentyloxycarbonylamino-1-methylindol-3-ylmethy l)-3- methoxy-N-o-tolylsulfonylbenzamide) was designed as a peptide leukotriene (LT) antagonist. The compound is a competitive antagonist of LTD4- and LTE4-induced contraction of guinea pig lung tracheal and parenchymal strips with an apparent negative log molar dissociation constant (KB) of approximately 9.6. ICI 204,219 did not antagonize LTC4-induced contractions of guinea pig trachea when the metabolism of LTC4 to LTD4 and, subsequently, to LTE4 was inhibited. The compound inhibited the binding of [3H]LTD4, [3H]LTE4, and [3H]ICI 198,615 (a potent LT antagonist from a different heterocyclic series) to guinea pig lung parenchymal membranes in a competitive manner, and also inhibited [3H]ICI 198,615 binding to human lung parenchymal membranes. ICI 204,219 did not bind to a variety of other receptors when evaluated at concentrations 1,000- to 10,000-fold higher than the apparent KB value for peptide LT receptors. When administered orally, intravenously, or by aerosol, the compound provided dose-related antagonism of the airway effects of aerosol LTD4 in conscious guinea pigs. ED50 values and pharmacodynamic t1/2 (min) for oral, intravenous and aerosol routes of administration were, respectively: 0.52 mumol/kg, greater than 816 min; 0.046 mumol/kg, 85 min; 5.1 x 10(-6) M, 109 min. ICI 204,219 also produced dose-related inhibition of the effects of LTC4 (aerosol or intravenous administration) on pulmonary mechanics in anesthetized guinea pigs when administered orally, intraduodenally, intravenously, or by aerosol. The compound also reversed bronchospasm produced by LTs. Aerosol ovalbumin antigen-induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs was both inhibited and reversed by ICI 204,219. Lastly, the compound inhibited LTD4-induced increases in cutaneous vascular permeability in guinea pigs, being 1,006- and 679-fold more potent than the first generation LT antagonists LY 171,883 and FPL 55712, respectively. ICI 204,219 is a potent, selective, orally active LT antagonist currently undergoing clinical trials.

Abstract
Tocainide, mexiletine and moricizine belong to class IB of Vaughan Williams system of classification of antiarrhythmic drugs. Mexiletine and tocainide have little or no effect on Phase 0 of action potential and conduction velocity. Their principal effect is to shorten the action potential duration. Moricizine does not fit precisely into the Vaughan Williams system of classification, but has been categorized with class IB agents because in vitro its effects are similar to those of lidocaine. In this article, the pharmacokinetics, electrophysiologic effects, and clinical uses of these three agents are reviewed.

Abstract
From 1970 to 1985, 246 consecutive patients with left ventricular (LV) aneurysm underwent repair and concomitant myocardial revascularization at Ochsner Foundation Hospital. The overall incidence of perioperative death was 7.3%. Although the deaths were mainly cardiac related (10/18) with congestive heart failure (CHF) as the leading cause (6/10), 8 deaths were of noncardiac origin. Perioperative mortality increased significantly in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) (22%; p = 0.0008); perioperative mortality for patients without MR was 4.8%. The overall 5-year survival was 69%. Late deaths were caused most commonly by myocardial infarction (20/32) with only 7 due to CHF. Predictors of long-term survival were related to LV function preoperatively: absence of CHF (p = 0.001); LV end-diastolic pressure less than or equal to 20 mm Hg (p = 0.03); and ejection fraction greater than or equal to 35% (p = 0.02). Factors that did not significantly affect long-term survival were type of aneurysm repair (resection or plication), morphology of left anterior descending coronary artery (occlusion or stenosis), and size of the aneurysm.

Abstract
Chemically stable analogs of peptide leukotrienes (LT) have been developed in our laboratories by replacement of the natural triene backbone with a C7H15 substituted aromatic moiety (1). These analogs are potent agonists of airway smooth muscle. Substitution in the peptide region resulted in U19052, an LT receptor antagonist. U19052 antagonized LT-induced contractions of guinea-pig tracheal spirals in a concentration-related manner. The pA2 values versus LTD4 and LTE4 were 6.0 and 5.7, respectively, with slopes which were not significantly different from unity. LTC4-induced contractions were antagonized by U19052 with a pKB of 5.6 obtained either in the absence or presence of L-serine borate. In contrast, carbachol and histamine concentration-response curves were not altered by U19052. LTD4 or LTE4 contractions of isolated guinea-pig ileum were antagonized by U19052 with pKB values of 7.2. The results indicate that potent selective LT antagonists can be developed from stable analogs of leukotrienes. U19052, an example of this series, appears to be as effective in antagonizing LTC4- as well as LD4- and LTE4-induced contractions in guinea-pig tracheal spirals.

Abstract
A new conscious animal model for evaluating leukotriene antagonists is described. The model consists of monitoring the change in the respiratory pattern induced by aerosol administration of various airway constrictors in six guinea pigs secured in a plexiglass chamber by a neck yoke. The animals are pretreated with indomethacin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and propranolol (5 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 min prior to the challenge. After a 30-min stabilization period, the animals are challenged by various agonists delivered via a Monaghan ultrasonic nebulizer at a flow rate of 2.0 L/min for 5 min. The end point is defined as the onset of slow, labored abdominal breathing (dyspnea) measured in seconds. Peptide leukotrienes (LTs) (30 nM-60 microM) produced concentration-related decreases in time to dyspnea with a rank order of potency of LTD4 greater than LTC4 greater than LTE4. LTD4 was 1,000-fold more potent than histamine or carbachol. Pretreatment of the animals with either FPL55712 or LY171883 delayed the time to reach dyspnea induced by LTD4. In contrast, pyrilamine, cyproheptadine, and phenoxybenzamine failed to alter LTD4-induced dyspnea. The results indicate that this model is useful in assessing the efficacy of LT receptor antagonists in vivo.
