Abstract
Plants that produce secondary metabolites with allelopathic activity or phytotoxicity can be biotechnologically important, serving as sources of allelochemicals, and thus contributing to the agroindustrial sector. Vismia japurensis (Hypericaceae) is an Amazonian species that grows in clumps called vismiais, from which most other plants are absent. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to identify possible phytotoxicity effects of hexane and methanol extracts of Vismia japurensis leaves and branches in vivo and from seedlings grown in vitro on Lactuca sativa. In addition, fresh and dry leaves were assayed by the sandwich method in order to determine their ability to release allelochemicals. The hexanic extract from in vitro seedlings reduced germination by 10%, while the methanol extract produced a 16% reduction in germination speed. Root growth of Lactuca sativa was inhibited by 64.7% when subjected to hexane leaf extract, by 39.3% under the influence of hexane branch extract, and by 96.09% for in vitro seedling hexanic extract. When analysed by thin layer chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, extracts showed evidence of terpenes, anthraquinones and flavonoids, with greater intensity of signals in the aromatic region of in vitro seedling hexanic extract. Clearly, Vismia japurensis has a high biotechnological potential in terms of the production of substances of low polarity with capacity to interfere in plant development.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a neglected parasitic disease, and current treatment includes limitations of toxicity, variable efficacy, high costs and inconvenient doses and treatment schedules. Therefore, new leishmanicidal drugs are still an unquestionable medical need. In this paper we described the design conception of a new framework, the carbamoyl-N-aryl-imine-urea, to obtain putative leishmanicidal drug-candidates. Compounds 9a-e and 10a-e were designed and synthesized and their leishmanicidal activity was studied in comparison to pentamidine, miltefosine and meglumine antimoniate. The conformational profile of the new carbamoyl-N-aryl-imine-urea framework was investigated by X-ray diffraction studies, using compound 9a as a model. The plasma stability of this putative peptide mimetic subunit was studied for compound 10e (LASSBio-1736). Among the congeneric series, LASSBio-1736 was identified as a new antileishmanial drug-candidate, displaying plasma stability, cytotoxicity against amastigote forms of L. amazonensis and L. braziliensis, and leishmanicidal activity in a cutaneous leishmaniasis murine model, without preliminary evidence of hepatic or renal toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased mortality due to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with renal and/or cardiovascular dysfunction. Dipeptidyl dipeptidase-4 inhibitors (iDPP-4s) may exert cardioprotective effects through their pleiotropic actions via glucagon-like peptide 1-dependent mechanisms. In this study, the pharmacological profile of a new iDPP-4 (LASSBio-2124) was investigated in rats with cardiac and renal dysfunction induced by T2DM. METHODS T2DM was induced in rats by 2 weeks of a high-fat diet followed by intravenous injection of streptozotocin. Metabolic disturbance and cardiac, vascular, and renal dysfunction were analyzed in the experimental groups. RESULTS Sitagliptin and LASSBio-2124 administration after T2DM induction reduced elevated glucose levels to 319.8 ± 13.2 and 279.7 ± 17.8 mg/dL, respectively (p < 0.05). LASSBio-2124 also lowered the cholesterol and triglyceride levels from 76.8 ± 8.0 to 42.7 ± 3.2 mg/dL and from 229.7 ± 25.4 to 100.7 ± 17.1 mg/dL, in diabetic rats. Sitagliptin and LASSBio-2124 reversed the reduction of the plasma insulin level. LASSBio-2124 recovered the increased urinary flow in diabetic animals and reduced 24-h proteinuria from 23.7 ± 1.5 to 13.3 ± 2.8 mg (p < 0.05). It also reduced systolic and diastolic left-ventricular dysfunction in hearts from diabetic rats. CONCLUSION The effects of LASSBio-2124 were superior to those of sitagliptin in the cardiovascular systems of T2DM rats. This new prototype showed promise for the avoidance of comorbidities in a T2DM experimental model, and thus may constitute an innovative therapeutic agent for the treatment of these conditions in the clinical field in future.

Abstract
N-acylhydrazone is an interesting privileged structure that has been used in the molecular design of a myriad of bioactive compounds. In order to identify new antinociceptive drug candidates, we described herein the design, synthesis, X-ray diffraction study and the pharmacological evaluation of a series of 3-amino-4-methylthiophene-2-acylcarbohydrazone derivatives (8a-t). Compounds were prepared in good overall yields through divergent synthesis from a common key intermediate and were characterized by classical spectroscopy methods. X-ray diffraction study was employed for unequivocal determination of the imine double bond stereochemistry. 8a-t were evaluated in vivo through oral administration using the classical writhing test in mice. N-acylhydrazone derivatives 8j and 8l displayed relative potency similar to dipyrone, highlighting them as promising analgesic lead-candidates for further investigation.

Abstract
Protein kinases constitute attractive therapeutic targets for development of new prototypes to treat different chronic diseases. Several available drugs, like tinibs, are tyrosine kinase inhibitors; meanwhile, inhibitors of serine/threonine kinases, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), are still trying to overcome some problems in one of the steps of clinical development to become drugs. So, here we reported the synthesis, the in vitro kinase inhibitory profile, docking studies, and the evaluation of anti-inflammatory profile of new naphthyl-N-acylhydrazone derivatives using animal models. Although all tested compounds (3a-d) have been characterized as p38α MAPK inhibitors and have showed in vivo anti-inflammatory action, LASSBio-1824 (3b) presented the best performance as p38α MAPK inhibitor, with IC50 = 4.45 μm, and also demonstrated to be the most promising anti-inflammatory prototype, with good in vivo anti-TNF-α profile after oral administration.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate 2 systems for covering corn silage in bunker silos. The first system consisted of a sheet of 45-μm-thick oxygen barrier film (OB, polyethylene + ethylene-vinyl alcohol) placed along the length of the sidewall before filling. After filling, the excess film was pulled over the wall on top of the silage, and a sheet of polyethylene was placed on top. The second system involved using a standard sheet (ST) of 180-μm-thick polyethylene film. Eight commercial bunker silos were divided into 2 parts lengthwise so that one-half of the silo was covered with OB and the other half with a ST system. During the filling, 3 net bags with chopped corn were buried in the central part (halfway between the top and bottom of the silo) of the bunkers (CCOR) in 3 sections 10 m apart. After filling, 18 net bags (9 per covering system) were buried 40 cm below the top surface of the 3 sections. These bags were placed at 3 distances from the bunker walls (0 to 50 cm, 51 to 100 cm, and 101 to 150 cm). During unloading, the bags were removed from the silos to determine the dry matter (DM) losses, fermentation end products, and nutritive value. The Milk2006 spreadsheet was used to estimate milk per tonne of DM. The model included the fixed effect of treatment (7 different locations in the bunker) and the random effect of the silo. Two contrasts were tested to compare silages in the top laterals (shoulders) with that in the CCOR (CCOR vs. OB and CCOR vs. ST). Three contrasts compared the corresponding distances of the silage covered by the 2 systems (OB50 vs. ST50, OB100 vs. ST100 and OB150 vs. ST150). Variables were analyzed with the PROC MIXED procedure of the SAS at the 5% level. The OB method produced well-fermented silages, which were similar to CCOR, whereas the OB system showed less lactic acid and greater pH and mold counts compared with CCOR. The ST method had 116.2 kg of milk/t less than the CCOR, as the OB system and the CCOR were similar (1,258.3 and 1,294.0 kg/t, respectively). Regarding the distances from the walls, the effects were more pronounced from 0 to 101 cm. The OB50 and OB100 silages had better quality and lower mold counts and DM losses than ST50 and ST100. The OB system reduced DM and nutrient losses at the shoulders in farm bunker corn silages compared with no sidewall plastic. The OB film should lap onto the crop for at least 200 cm so that 150 cm are covered outward from the wall.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. OBJECTIVE Several neuro-degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are associated with genetic mutations, and replacing or disrupting defective sequences might offer therapeutic benefits. Single gene delivery has so far failed to achieve significant clinical improvements in humans, leading to the advent of co-expression of multiple therapeutic genes. Co-transfection using two or more individual constructs might inadvertently result in disproportionate delivery of the products into the cells. To prevent this, and in order to rule out interference among the many promoters with varying strength, expressing multiple proteins in equimolar amounts can be achieved by linking open reading frames under the control of only one promoter. SETTING Kazan, Russian Federation. METHODS Here we describe a strategy for adeno-viral co-expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) interconnected through picorna-viral 2A-amino-acid sequence in transfected human umbilical cord blood mono-nuclear cells (hUCB-MCs). RESULTS Presence of both growth factors, as well as absence of immune response to 2A-antigen, was demonstrated after 28-52 days. Following injection of hUCB-MCs into ALS transgenic mice, co-expression of VEGF and FGF2, as well as viable xeno-transplanted cells, were observed in the spinal cord after 1 month. CONCLUSION These results suggest that recombinant adeno-virus containing 2A-sequences could serve as a promising alternative in regenerative medicine for the delivery of therapeutic molecules to treat neurodegenerative diseases, such as ALS.

Abstract
Gene sequences previously identified in Arabidopsis buds were used as references in order to estimate temporal and tissue expression in buds, leaves, stem, and root tissues in cotton plants. Buds were evaluated during 3 phases: 2-8, 10-12, and 14-20 mm. Primers were designed for the ARF6, ATFY, and SEUSS genes for use in semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Different levels of expression of the 3 genes were confirmed in cotton buds as well as in other tissues. The peak of gene expression was observed in buds sized 10-12 mm, after which expression decreased in larger buds. The gene GhFYPP3 was the most promising for further prospection of promoter regions, with regular expression patterns observed in bud sizes 10-12 and 14-20 mm. This trait was not observed in others genes.

Abstract
Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that cause various diseases in human, such as leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. The highly syntenic genomes of the trypanosomatid species lead the assumption that they can encode similar proteins, indicating the possibility to design new antitrypanosomatid drugs with dual trypanosomicidal and leishmanicidal activities. In this work a series of compounds (6a-h and 7a-h), containing a semicarbazone scaffold as a peptide mimetic framework, was designed and synthesized. From this series compound 7g (LASSBio-1483) highlighted, showing dual in vitro trypanosomicidal and leishmanicidal activities, with potency similar to the standard drugs nifurtimox and pentamidine. This data, taken together with its good in silico druglikeness profile and its great chemical and plasma stability, make LASSBio-1483 (7g) a new antitrypanosomatid lead-candidate.

Abstract
We report the first measurements of the moments--mean (M), variance (σ(2)), skewness (S), and kurtosis (κ)--of the net-charge multiplicity distributions at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at seven energies, ranging from sqrt[sNN]=7.7 to 200 GeV, as a part of the Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC. The moments are related to the thermodynamic susceptibilities of net charge, and are sensitive to the location of the QCD critical point. We compare the products of the moments, σ(2)/M, Sσ, and κσ(2), with the expectations from Poisson and negative binomial distributions (NBDs). The Sσ values deviate from the Poisson baseline and are close to the NBD baseline, while the κσ(2) values tend to lie between the two. Within the present uncertainties, our data do not show nonmonotonic behavior as a function of collision energy. These measurements provide a valuable tool to extract the freeze-out parameters in heavy-ion collisions by comparing with theoretical models.

Abstract
LASSBio-596, 2-[4-(1,4-tiazinan-4-ylsulfonyl) phenylcarbamoyl] benzoic acid, is an achiral compound containing a subunit carboxylic amide, was capable of preventing induced mechanical and morphological changes in the lungs that commonly caused the onset of asthma. Previous studies to determine the acute toxicity of oral LASSBio-596 at dose of 2000mg/kg caused no deaths in any of the tested animals. To further evaluate the safety of LASSBio-596, in vitro and in vivo tests were carried out. Regarding to in vitro test were used renal, hepatic, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic and intestinal cell lines. They were evaluated using neutral red (NR) and [3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] (MTT) assays. Micronuclei also was performed. Concerning to in vivo was performed subchronic on Wistar rats at doses of 10, 50, and 250mg/kg and zebrafish test. The in vitro tests results showed the safety of LASSBio-596. However, subchronic toxicity study results revealed changes in the blood parameters of amylase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glucose and creatine kinase (CK) which is used for cardiotoxicity evaluation, although, did not identify any histopathological alterations. However, zebrafish test demonstrated cardiac damage. It was impossible to estimate the no-observed-adverse-effect-levels and lowest observed-adverse-effect level due to the presence of cardiotoxicity in all tested doses.

Abstract
We report the STAR measurements of dielectron (e(+)e(-)) production at midrapidity (|y(ee)|<1) in Au+Au collisions at √[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The measurements are evaluated in different invariant mass regions with a focus on 0.30-0.76 (ρ-like), 0.76-0.80 (ω-like), and 0.98-1.05 (ϕ-like) GeV/c(2). The spectrum in the ω-like and ϕ-like regions can be well described by the hadronic cocktail simulation. In the ρ-like region, however, the vacuum ρ spectral function cannot describe the shape of the dielectron excess. In this range, an enhancement of 1.77±0.11(stat)±0.24(syst)±0.33(cocktail) is determined with respect to the hadronic cocktail simulation that excludes the ρ meson. The excess yield in the ρ-like region increases with the number of collision participants faster than the ω and ϕ yields. Theoretical models with broadened ρ contributions through interactions with constituents in the hot QCD medium provide a consistent description of the dilepton mass spectra for the measurement presented here and the earlier data at the Super Proton Synchrotron energies.

Abstract
We report the beam energy (sqrt[sNN]=7.7-200 GeV) and collision centrality dependence of the mean (M), standard deviation (σ), skewness (S), and kurtosis (κ) of the net-proton multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions. The measurements are carried out by the STAR experiment at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) and within the transverse momentum range 0.4<pT<0.8 GeV/c in the first phase of the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These measurements are important for understanding the quantum chromodynamic phase diagram. The products of the moments, Sσ and κσ2, are sensitive to the correlation length of the hot and dense medium created in the collisions and are related to the ratios of baryon number susceptibilities of corresponding orders. The products of moments are found to have values significantly below the Skellam expectation and close to expectations based on independent proton and antiproton production. The measurements are compared to a transport model calculation to understand the effect of acceptance and baryon number conservation and also to a hadron resonance gas model.

Abstract
The measurement of J/ψ azimuthal anisotropy is presented as a function of transverse momentum for different centralities in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The measured J/ψ elliptic flow is consistent with zero within errors for transverse momentum between 2 and 10 GeV/c. Our measurement suggests that J/ψ particles with relatively large transverse momenta are not dominantly produced by coalescence from thermalized charm quarks, when comparing to model calculations.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. When not properly controlled, complications include neuropathy, coronary artery disease, and renal failure. Several drugs are approved for diabetes treatment; however their use is associated with side effects and lack of efficacy in attenuating the development of long-term complications. This work describes the virtual screening and synthesis of a novel series of sulfonylhydrazone derivatives designed as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists and investigation of the analogs for hypoglycemic activity in a murine model of diabetes. Docking studies identified LASSBio-331 (5) as having theoretical affinity for PPARγ similar to the prototype (S)-rosiglitazone. Several structural modifications were proposed for the structure of LASSBio-331, resulting in the synthesis of five novel compounds, which showed experimental affinity for PPARγ. Among these new compounds, LASSBio-1471 (15) had the best theoretical binding energy for PPARγ and was selected for testing in STZ-induced diabetes. Four weeks after single intravenous injection of STZ (60 mg/kg), Wistar rats were treated with vehicle (DMSO) or LASSBio-1471 (20 mg/kg, i.p.) for 7 days. The blood glucose levels of rats treated with LASSBio-1471 were reduced from 548.4 ± 26.0 mg/dL before treatment to 259.6 ± 73.1 mg/dL (P < 0.05). Paw withdrawal threshold was significantly reduced in diabetic rats and was restored from 21.9 ± 1.7 g to 36.7 ± 1.2 g after 7 days of treatment with LASSBio-1471 (P < 0.05). Thus, the novel sulfonylhydrazone derivative is a PPARγ ligand that is effective for treatment of diabetic neuropathy in STZ-injected rats.

Abstract
Elliptic flow (v(2)) values for identified particles at midrapidity in Au + Au collisions, measured by the STAR experiment in the beam energy scan at RHIC at sqrt[s(NN)] = 7.7-62.4 GeV, are presented. A beam-energy-dependent difference of the values of v(2) between particles and corresponding antiparticles was observed. The difference increases with decreasing beam energy and is larger for baryons compared to mesons. This implies that, at lower energies, particles and antiparticles are not consistent with the universal number-of-constituent-quark scaling of v(2) that was observed at sqrt[s(NN)] = 200 GeV.

Abstract
STAR's measurements of directed flow (v1) around midrapidity for π±, K±, KS0, p, and p[over ¯] in Au+Au collisions at √[sNN]=200 GeV are presented. A negative v1(y) slope is observed for most of produced particles (π±, K±, KS0, and p[over ¯]). In 5%-30% central collisions, a sizable difference is present between the v1(y) slope of protons and antiprotons, with the former being consistent with zero within errors. The v1 excitation function is presented. Comparisons to model calculations (RQMD, UrQMD, AMPT, QGSM with parton recombination, and a hydrodynamics model with a tilted source) are made. For those models which have calculations of v1 for both pions and protons, none of them can describe v1(y) for pions and protons simultaneously. The hydrodynamics model with a tilted source as currently implemented cannot explain the centrality dependence of the difference between the v1(y) slopes of protons and antiprotons.

Abstract
The inherent morbidity and mortality caused by schistosomiasis is a serious public health problem in developing countries. Praziquantel is the only drug in therapeutic use, leading to a permanent risk of parasite resistance. In search for new schistosomicidal drugs, meclonazepam, the 3-methyl-derivative of clonazepam, is still considered an interesting lead-candidate because it has a proven schistosomicidal effect in humans but adverse effects on the central nervous system did not allow its clinical use. Herein, the synthesis, in vitro biological evaluation, and molecular modeling of clonazepam, meclonazepam, and analogues are reported to establish the first structure-activity relationship for schistosomicidal benzodiazepines. Our findings indicate that the amide moiety [N(1) H-C(2) (=O)] is the principal pharmacophoric unit of 1,4-benzodiazepine schistosomicidal compounds and that substitution on the amide nitrogen atom (N(1) position) is not tolerated.

Abstract
We report transverse momentum (p(T)≤15 GeV/c) spectra of π(±), K(±), p, p[over ¯], K(S)(0), and ρ(0) at midrapidity in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √S(NN)=200 GeV. Perturbative QCD calculations are consistent with π(±) spectra in p+p collisions but do not reproduce K and p(p[over ¯]) spectra. The observed decreasing antiparticle-to-particle ratios with increasing p(T) provide experimental evidence for varying quark and gluon jet contributions to high-p(T) hadron yields. The relative hadron abundances in Au+Au at p(T)≳8 GeV/c are measured to be similar to the p+p results, despite the expected Casimir effect for parton energy loss.

Abstract
We report new STAR measurements of midrapidity yields for the Λ, Λ[over ¯], K(S)(0), Ξ(-), Ξ[over ¯](+), Ω(-), Ω[over ¯](+) particles in Cu+Cu collisions at √S(NN)==200 GeV, and midrapidity yields for the Λ, Λ[over ¯], K(S)(0) particles in Au+Au at √S(NN)==200 GeV. We show that, at a given number of participating nucleons, the production of strange hadrons is higher in Cu+Cu collisions than in Au+Au collisions at the same center-of-mass energy. We find that aspects of the enhancement factors for all particles can be described by a parametrization based on the fraction of participants that undergo multiple collisions.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of LASSBio-998 (L-998), a compound designed to be a p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitor, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung inflammation in vivo. BALB/c mice were challenged with aerosolized LPS inhalation (0.5 mg/ml) 4 h after oral administration of L-998. Three hours after LPS inhalation, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was obtained to measure the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) and IL-1 (interleukin-1) and the chemokines MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) and KC (keratinocyte chemoattractant). In addition, neutrophil infiltration and p38 MAPK phosphorylation was measured. L-998 inhibited LPS-induced production of TNF-α and IL-1β and did not alter KC and MCP-1 levels. Furthermore, L-998 also significantly decreased neutrophil accumulation in lung tissues. As expected, L-998 diminished p38 MAPK phosphorylation and reduced acute lung inflammation. Inhibition of p38 MAPK phosphorylation by L-998 was also demonstrated in LPS-challenged murine C57BL/6 peritoneal macrophages in vitro, with concentration-dependent effects. L-998 suppressed LPS-induced lung inflammation, most likely by inhibition of the cytokine-p38 MAPK pathway, and we postulate that L-998 could be a clinically relevant anti-inflammatory drug candidate.

Abstract
Clinical RelevanceIt has been suggested that occlusal caries detection has become more difficult due to the widespread use of fluoride, which slows down lesion progression and delays cavitation. The ability to detect caries lesions at an early stage has a significant impact on treatment decisions, improving the possibility for a successful preventive intervention. In this investigation, the authors found that the International Caries Detection and Assessment System associated with radiographic examination has the potential to support treatment decisions for occlusal surfaces.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to compare an ultrasonic diamond tip to a high-speed conventional diamond bur regarding the cutting effectiveness in enamel and dentin of human teeth. METHODS Twenty permanent molars were longitudinally sectioned in the buccal-lingual plane giving 40 specimens, 20 for enamel and 20 for dentin groups. One cavity was performed in each specimen using a spherical diamond tip (83231, CVDentus(R), CVDVale, São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil) coupled with an ultrasound device or a conventional spherical diamond bur (1013, KG Sorensen, São Paulo, Brazil)) coupled with a high-speed turbine. A modified measurement analysis using the Radiocef 4.0 software (Radiocef Memory) was applied to determine the width and the depth of the cavities on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at x50 magnification micrographs. The features of the cavities and the characteristics of the cutting instruments were also examined under different magnifications by SEM. RESULTS Statistical analysis by Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric and Dunn post hoc tests (P < or = 0.05) showed that cavities prepared in enamel and dentin with the ultrasonic diamond tip were shallower and narrower than those prepared with conventional diamond bur. The internal walls of cavities prepared in dentin by the ultrasonic diamond tip reproduced the superficial aspect of the diamond, however, scratches were observed in the internal walls of the dentin cut by high-speed conventional diamond bur. CONCLUSIONS Both instruments were effective in enamel and dentin cutting; however, cavities prepared with a high-speed conventional diamond bur showed more invasive characteristics.

Abstract
In this work, we describe a new class of promising anti-platelet drug candidates with significant antithrombotic activity in vivo. This new series of compounds was structurally planned by modification of known thrombin inhibitors based on the use of acylhydrazone subunit, as a nonpeptide scaffold, and variations at P1 moiety. Three different families of arylsulfonate-acylhydrazone derivatives were designed. The bioassays indicated the first class of derivatives represented by 4f (LASSBio-693) and 4j (LASSBio-743), which were active in inhibiting the platelet aggregation induced by thrombin. The second class represented by compounds 4e (LASSBio-774) and 4h (LASSBio-480) that selectively inhibit the platelet aggregation involving TXA(2) formation. Finally, the third class of derivatives was identified acting as a novel symbiotic agent able to inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by collagen or AA and by thrombin, represented by compounds 4b (LASSBio-694) and 4g (LASSBio-770).

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of a novel phosphodiesterase 4 and 5 inhibitor, LASSBio596, with that of dexamethasone in a murine model of chronic asthma. Lung mechanics (airway resistance, viscoelastic pressure, and static elastance), histology, and airway and lung parenchyma remodeling (quantitative analysis of collagen and elastic fiber) were analyzed. Thirty-three BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to four groups. In the asthma group (N = 9), mice were immunized with 10 microg ovalbumin (OVA, ip) on 7 alternate days, and after day 40 they were challenged with three intratracheal instillations of 20 microg OVA at 3-day intervals. Control mice (N = 8) received saline under the same protocol. In the dexamethasone (N = 8) and LASSBio596 (N = 8) groups, the animals of the asthma group were treated with 1 mg/kg dexamethasone disodium phosphate (0.1 mL, ip) or 10 mg/kg LASSBio596 dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (0.2 mL, ip) 24 h before the first intratracheal instillation of OVA, for 8 days. Airway resistance, viscoelastic pressure and static elastance increased significantly in the asthma group (77, 56, and 76%, respectively) compared to the control group. The asthma group presented more intense alveolar collapse, bronchoconstriction, and eosinophil and neutrophil infiltration than the control group. Both LASSBio596 and dexamethasone inhibited the changes in lung mechanics, tissue cellularity, bronchoconstriction, as well as airway and lung parenchyma remodeling. In conclusion, LASSBio596 at a dose of 10 mg/kg effectively prevented lung mechanical and morphometrical changes and had the potential to block fibroproliferation in a BALB/c mouse model of asthma.

Abstract
As part of a program researching the synthesis and immunopharmacological evaluation of novel synthetic compounds, we have described the immune modulatory profile of the new achiral thalidomide analogue LASSBio-468 in the present work. This compound was planned as an N-substituted phthalimide derivate, structurally designed as a hybrid of thalidomide and aryl sulfonamides, which were previously described as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and PDE4 inhibitors. LASSBio-468 was recently demonstrated to inhibit the TNF-alpha production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), in vivo. Here, we investigated whether this compound would affect chronic inflammation processes associated with the production of this pro-inflammatory cytokine. Treatment with LASSBio-468 before a lethal dose injection of LPS in animals greatly inhibited endotoxic shock. This effect seems to be mediated by a specific down regulation of TNF-alpha and nitric oxide production, regulated mainly at the RNA level. In another model, histopathological analysis indicated that this compound also inhibited adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats. Taken together, our data demonstrated a potent anti-inflammatory effect of LASSBio-468, suggesting its use as a potential drug against chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This in vitro study compared the adhesion of two probiotics microorganisms (Lactobacillus casei Shirota and Lactobacillus acidophilus) to an artificial caries model. METHOD In total, 30 bovine teeth were longitudinally sectioned, excluding the lingual half surface. The specimens were covered with nail varnish, except for an area of 3 by 5 mm in dentin, suspended in an artificial caries solution promoted by Streptococcus mutans, and incubated at 37 degrees C. After 14 days, the specimens were separated equally into two groups and transferred to a brain heart infusion culture media containing L. acidophilus (group A) and L. casei Shirota (group S), at 37 degrees C. After 48 h, the exposed area of dentin was washed with 1 ml of distilled water and the caries dentin was removed and dispersed in 1 ml of saline solution. The samples of distilled water and caries dentin were diluted and inoculated in Rogosa selective Lactobacillus agar. The results in CFU/ml were analysed by the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS There was no significant difference between Groups A and S for the lactobacilli count in samples of distilled water (P = 0.237). CONCLUSIONS The amount of L. acidophilus in the artificially caries dentin was significantly superior compared to L. casei Shirota (P = 0.047), suggesting an inferior adhesion potential for this microorganism.

Abstract
A previous study showed that the novel tetrazolephtalimide derivative LASSBio 552 (2-4-[3-(1H-1,2,3,4-tetraazol-5-yl)propoxy]phenethyl-1,3-isoindolinedione) prevents LTD(4)-evoked tracheal contraction. This led us to examine the putative anti-inflammatory effect of LASSBio 552 in comparison with the leukotriene CysLT(1) receptor antagonist zafirlukast using a model of allergic pleurisy in rats. Treatment with either LASSBio 552 (24-96 micromol/kg, i.p.) or zafirlukast (9-72 micromol/kg, i.p.), 1 h before challenge, inhibited eosinophil and mononuclear cell influx into the pleural cavity 24 h post-challenge, but failed to alter the increased levels of eotaxin, plasma leakage, mast cell degranulation and neutrophil infiltration noted 6 h post-challenge. CD4(+) T cell recruitment 24 h post-challenge was also sensitive to LASSBio 552. This treatment failed to alter cysteinyl leukotriene production at 6 h, but clearly inhibited the phenomenon 24 h and 48 h post-challenge. In in vitro settings LASSBio 552 inhibited allergen-evoked cysteinyl leukotriene generation from isolated mast cells, while histamine release remained unchanged. It also slightly inhibited cysteinyl leukotriene production by eosinophils and mononuclear cells triggered by Ca(+2) ionophore A23187. A leukotriene CysLT(1) receptor transfected cell-based assay revealed that LASSBio 552 did not prevent LTD(4)-evoked Ca(+2) influx, indicating that it was not a leukotriene CysLT(1) receptor antagonist. These findings indicate that LASSBio 552 is able to inhibit eosinophil influx triggered by allergen chalenge in a mechanism at least partially associated with suppression of CD4(+) T cell influx and cysteinyl leukotriene production.

Abstract
The effects of LASSBio596, a phosphodiesterase type-4 and -5 inhibitor, were tested in Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury. Twenty-four BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups. In the control group, saline (0.05 mL) was injected intratracheally (i.t.). The LPS group received LPS (10 microg i.t., 0.05 mL). In the LASSBio596 groups, LASSBio596 (10 mg x kg(-1), 0.2 mL) was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before or 6 h after LPS administration. After 24 h, in vivo (lung resistive and viscoelastic pressures, and static and dynamic elastances) and in vitro (tissue resistance, elastance and hysteresivity) pulmonary mechanics, lung morphometry and collagenous fibre content were computed. Neutrophils and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels were evaluated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. LASSBio596 prevented the changes in lung mechanics, and inhibited neutrophilic recruitment, TNF-alpha release, bronchoconstriction, alveolar collapse and the increment of collagen fibre content induced by LPS, independently of the moment of injection. In conclusion, LASSBio596 modulated the lung inflammatory process and had the potential to block fibroproliferation. Thus, agents that inhibit phosphodiesterase 4 and 5 simultaneously may be a useful adjunct therapy for acute lung injury.

Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of new N-phenyl-phthalimide sulfonamides (3a-e) and the isosters N-phenyl-phthalimide amides (4a-e), designed as hybrids of thalidomide (1) and aryl sulfonamide phosphodiesterase inhibitor (2). In these series, compound 3e (LASSBio 468), having a sulfonyl-thiomorpholine moiety, showed potent inhibitory activity on LPS-induced neutrophil recruitment with ED(50)=2.5mg kg(-1), which was correlated with its inhibitory effect on TNF-alpha level.

Abstract
A series of phthalimide acid derivatives was synthesized and evaluated as leukotriene D(4) receptor antagonists. The tetrazolephthalimide LASSBio 552 (7) was shown to be able to inhibit the contractile activity induced by 100 nM of LTD(4) in guinea-pig tracheal strips with an IC(50) = 31.2 microM. In addition, LASSBio 552 (7) has been showed to present a better efficacy than zafirlukast (1) used as standard.

Abstract
The plasma membrane (Ca(2+) + Mg(2+))ATPase hydrolyzes pseudo-substrates such as p-nitrophenylphosphate. Except when calmodulin is present, Ca(2+) ions inhibit the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity. In this report it is shown that, in the presence of glycerol, Ca(2+) strongly stimulates phosphatase activity in a dose-dependent manner. The glycerol- and Ca(2+)-induced increase in activity is correlated with modifications in the spectral center of mass (average emission wavenumber) of the intrinsic fluorescence of the enzyme. It is concluded that the synergistic effect of glycerol and Ca(2+) is related to opposite long-term hydration effects on the substrate binding domain and the Ca(2+) binding domain.

Abstract
The recognition of palindromic specific DNA sequences by the human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 proteins is responsible for regulation of virus transcription. The dimeric E2 DNA-binding domain of HPV-16 (E2c) dissociates into a partially folded state under high hydrostatic pressure. We show here that pressure-induced monomers of E2c are highly structured, as evidenced by NMR hydrogen-deuterium exchange measurements. On binding to both specific and nonspecific DNA, E2c becomes stable against pressure. Competitive binding studies using fluorescence polarization of fluorescein-labeled DNA demonstrate the reversibility of the specific binding. To assess the thermodynamic parameters for the linkage between protein dissociation and DNA binding, urea denaturation curves were obtained at different pressures in the presence of specific and nonspecific DNA sequences. The change in free energy on denaturation fell linearly with increase in pressure for both protein-DNA complexes, and the measured volume change was similar to that obtained for E2c alone. The data show that the free energy of dissociation increases when E2c binds to a nonspecific DNA sequence but increases even more when the protein binds to the specific DNA sequence. Thus, specific complexes are tighter but do not entail variation in the volume change. The thermodynamic data indicate that DNA-bound E2c dissociates into monomers bound to DNA. The existence of monomeric units of E2c bound to DNA may have implications for the formation of DNA loops, as an additional target for viral and host factors binding to the loosely associated dimer of the N-terminal module of the E2 protein.

Abstract
The C-terminal DNA binding domain of the E2 protein is involved in transcriptional regulation and DNA replication in papillomaviruses. At low ionic strength, the domain has a tendency to form aggregates, a process readily reversible by the addition of salt. While fluorescence anisotropy measurements show a 1:1 stoichiometry at pH 5.5, we observed that a second HPV-16 E2 C-terminal dimer can bind per DNA site at pH 7.0. This was confirmed by displacement of bis-ANS binding, tryptophan fluorescence, native electrophoresis, and circular dichroism. The two binding events are nonequivalent, with a high-affinity binding involving one E2C dimer per DNA molecule with a K(D) of 0.18 +/- 0.02 nM and a lower affinity binding mode of 2.0 +/- 0.2 nM. The bovine (BPV-1) E2 C-terminal domain binds to an HPV-16 E2 site with 350-fold lower affinity than the human cognate domain and binds 7-fold less tightly even to a bovine-derived DNA site. The ability to discriminate between cognate and noncognate sequences is 50-fold higher for the human domain, and the latter is 180-fold better than the bovine at discriminating specific from nonspecific DNA. A substantial conformational change in bound DNA is observed by near-UV circular dichroism. The bovine domain imposes a different DNA conformation than that caused by the human counterpart, which could be explained by a more pronounced bent. Structure-function differences and biochemical properties of the complexes depend on the protein domain rather than on the DNA, in line with crystallographic evidence. Despite the strong sequence homology and overall folding topology, the differences observed may explain the distinctive transcriptional regulation in bovine and human viruses.

Abstract
The dimeric beta-barrel is a characteristic topology initially found in the transcriptional regulatory domain of the E2 DNA binding domain from papillomaviruses. We have previously described the kinetic folding mechanism of the human HPV-16 domain, and, as part of these studies, we present a structural characterization of the urea-denatured state of the protein. We have obtained a set of chemical shift assignments for the C-terminal domain in urea using heteronuclear NMR methods and found regions with persistent residual structure. Based on chemical shift deviations from random coil values, 3'J(NHN alpha) coupling constants, heteronuclear single quantum coherence peak intensities, and nuclear Overhauser effect data, we have determined clusters of residual structure in regions corresponding to the DNA binding helix and the second beta-strand in the folded conformation. Most of the structures found are of nonnative nature, including turn-like conformations. Urea denaturation at equilibrium displayed a loss in protein concentration dependence, in absolute parallel to a similar deviation observed in the folding rate constant from kinetic experiments. These results strongly suggest an alternative folding pathway in which a dimeric intermediate is formed and the rate-limiting step becomes first order at high protein concentrations. The structural elements found in the denatured state would collide to yield productive interactions, establishing an intermolecular folding nucleus at high protein concentrations. We discuss our results in terms of the folding mechanism of this particular topology in an attempt to contribute to a better understanding of the folding of dimers in general and intertwined dimeric proteins such as transcription factors in particular.

Abstract
Previously we demonstrated that Kalanchoe pinnata (KP) leaf extracts inhibited in vitro lymphocyte proliferation and showed in vivo immunosuppressive activity. Here we attempt to identify the immunosuppressive substances present in KP guided by the lymphoproliferative assays. From the ethanolic extract was purified a fraction (KP12SA) twenty-fold more potent to block murine lymphocyte proliferation than the crude extract. Chemical analysis by 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR and GC-MS of KP12SA (methylated sample) showed 89.3% of palmitic acid (C16), 10.7% of stearic acid (C18) and traces of arachidic (C20) and behenic acids (C22). This study provides evidence that fatty acids present in Kalanchoe pinnata may be responsible, at least in part, for its immunosuppressive effect in vivo.

Abstract
Anew series of antinociceptive compounds belonging to the N-acylarylhydrazone (NAH) class were synthesized from natural safrole (7). The most analgesic derivative represented by 10f, [(4'-N,N-dimethylaminobenzylidene-3-(3', 4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)propionylhydrazine], was more potent than dipyrone and indomethacin, used as standards. The NAH compounds described herein were structurally planned by molecular hybridization and classical bioisosterism strategies on previously reported analgesic NAH in order to identify the pharmacophoric contribution of the N-acylarylhydrazone moiety and investigate the structure-activity relationship (SAR) in these series.

Abstract
In the scope of a research program aiming at the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel possible antiplatelet prototype compounds, exploring bioisosterism principles for molecular design, we describe in this paper the synthesis of new aryl-sulfonamides derivatives, structurally similar to known thromboxane A2 receptor antagonists. The synthetic route used to access the new compounds described herein starts from safrole, an abundant Brazilian natural product, which occurs in Sassafras oil (Ocotea pretiosa). The results from preliminary evaluation of these novel aryl-sulfonamide compounds by the platelet aggregation inhibitory test, using rabbit PRP, induced by ADP, collagen, arachidonic acid, and U46619, identified the N-[2-(4-carboxymethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-6-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyphe nyl- sulfonamido derivative as the most active among them, presenting in IC50 value for the U-46619-induced platelet aggregation in rabbit platelet-rich plasma: 329 microM.

Abstract
We are investigating the folding of the 81-residue recombinant dimeric DNA binding domain of the E2 protein from human papillomavirus and how it is coupled to the binding of its DNA ligand. Modifications in buffer composition, such as ionic strength and phosphate, cause an approximately 5.0 kcal mol-1 stabilization of the domain to urea unfolding, based on very similar conformational changes as measured by far UV circular dichroism. Binding of DNA produces an even greater stabilization, magnitude similar to that caused by the nonspecific polymer ligand heparin, which shifts the urea midpoint 2.5-fold. The DNA-bound complex displays substantial changes similar to those caused by ionic strength and phosphate in terms of overall secondary structure. Bis-8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate provides a very sensitive conformational probe, which shows alterations in the domain caused by the above mentioned compounds. In general terms, binding of DNA involves an overall conformational readjustment in the protein but maintains the beta-barrel scaffold intact. This conformational plasticity seems to be of importance in the regulatory functions of this type of DNA-binding protein. The extremely long half-life of the E2-DNA complex, together with its very high stability, suggests that, in the absence of other factors that may affect its stability in vivo, the possibility of dissociation once formed is restricted.
