All these reports can be downloaded from our website “www.rosita.org”, but we thought that it would also be useful to have them in the form of a printed book. The Rosita project ran during 1999 and 2000 in 8 European states. A total of 9 European Institutes for Legal Medicine and Toxicology and 3 companies worked together on the 5 different project targets. The following Institutes and Companies were official Rosita Partners: No. Name Country 1. University of Gent (Project Management) Belgium 2. National Public Health Institute, KTL Finland 3. University of Glasgow, Forensic Medicine & Science UK 4. Institute of Legal Medicine, Homburg Germany 5. National Institute of Forensic Sciences, NICC, Brussels Belgium 6.

Centre of Behavioural and Forensic Toxicology, University of Padova Italy 10. Roche Diagnostics Belgium 11. Securetec Detektions-Systeme AG Germany 12. Dade Behring GmbH Germany Official partners of the Rosita project The Rosita study has been divided into 5 workpackages covering the following five key questions: 1. What are the drugs/medicines that are suspected to have a detrimental impact to road users performance? 2. What is the state-of-the-art roadside testing equipment for urine, sweat and saliva? Are there other tests that can be used to evaluate the impairment of the driver at the roadside? 3. What kind of operational, user and legal requirements exist across Member States of the European Community for roadside testing equipment? 4. How are usability (practicability), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of available roadside test devices? 5. What can be recommended for the use of roadside testing equipment (in Europe)? Working for the Rosita project was, for most or all of us, a challenging but rewarding experience. Many people, who were employed by the contractors and police officers worked very long hours for this project, and we are very much indebted to them. Many companies, who were not Rosita contractors, supplied their tests at no or reduced costs. In addition, I would like to thank Dr. Gianpaolo Brusini, who has been our tireless webmaster and who has helped us enormously in the realisation of this book, and our scientific officer René Bastiaans of DG TREN of the European Union, who had the idea of launching the call for this project, who was present at many of our meetings to give us very valuable advice. Our contacts have shown us that the results of Rosita are well known all over the world (more than 400 people downloaded one or more of the deliverables and approximately 100 newspaper articles were devoted to Rosita), and we hope that this book also help in the dissemination of our results.

Substances that have an influence on brain functions or on mental processes involved in driving will clearly affect the driving performance. Different studies provide information about the influence of illicit drugs and licit medicines on driving performance: They can be classified into three main types: epidemiological studies, pharmaco-epidemiological studies and experimental studies. Epidemiological studies are necessary to estimate the importance of the problem. They can be conducted in three different ways: · Descriptive epidemiological studies: the prevalence of psychoactive drugs in the driving population is determined on representative samples selected according to various criteria: the whole driving population, injured or killed drivers, drivers suspected of driving under the influence. The most important European studies are summarised in the report. · Responsibility analysis studies: in these studies, the authors try to determine the responsibility of drivers involved in road traffic accidents, to establish if drug use contributes to accidents or not. The responsibility is determined without knowledge of the results of the drug analysis. A study by Drummer (1045 killed drivers) and another one by Terhune (1882 killed drivers) are discussed as examples of responsibility analysis studies. · Studies with control groups: the results of the test group are compared with the same drug analysis performed on a control population consisting of matched drivers or non-responsible subjects. Very few epidemiological studies have included a control population. Pharmaco-epidemiological studies are very useful as they compare the number of accidents in drivers for whom medicines are prescribed with the number of accidents in a matched control population. The results of the major reports are summarised in the present work. However, this kind of study is difficult to perform with illicit drugs, for easily understandable practical and ethical reasons. Experimental studies consist in the administration of different doses of medicines or of placebo to selected volunteers. The effects on psychomotor performance and/or on driving skills are measured by laboratory tests, in driving simulators or by real driving experiments. While there is an abundant literature on the subject, methodologies are not well standardised and comparisons of different studies with sometimes conflicting results are difficult to perform. Illicit drugs possibly influencing driving performances are then presented, with epidemiological and experimental data if available: · Cannabis (used as marihuana, hashish,

Email: [email protected] Key words: SARS-CoV-2, nCoV-2019, COVID-19, drug repurposing, FDA approved drugs, antiviral therapeutics, pandemic, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine AbstraCt SARS-CoV-2 emerged in China at the end of 2019 and has rapidly become a pandemic with over 400,000 recorded COVID-19 cases and greater than 19,000 recorded deaths by March 24th, 2020 (www.WHO.org) (1). There are no FDA approved antivirals or vaccines for any coronavirus, including SARS-CoV-2 (2). Current treatments for COVID-19 are limited to supportive therapies and off-label use of FDA approved drugs (3). Rapid development and human testing of potential antivirals is greatly needed. A potentially quicker way to test compounds with antiviral activity is through drug re-purposing (2, 4). Numerous drugs are already approved for use in humans and subsequently there is a good understanding of their safety profiles and potential side effects, making them easier to test in COVID-19 patients.

Each synthesis of these new drug candidates include multi-steps procedures. Overall, discovering a new drug is a very time-consuming and very costly works. The development of molecular modelling programs and their applications in pharmaceutical research have been formalized as a field of study known computer assisted drug design (CADD) or computer assisted molecular design (CAMD). In this study, using the above techniques, Monoamine Oxidase isozymes, which play an essential role in the oxidative deamination of the biogenic amines, were studied. Compounds that inhibit these isozymes were shown to have therapeutic value in a variety of conditions including several psychiatric and neurological as well as neurodegenerative diseases. First, a series of new pyrazoline derivatives were screened using molecular modelling and docking methods and promising lead compounds were selected, and proposed for synthesis as novel selective MAO-A or –B inhibitors.

    J. Smooth Muscle Res. 33 : 99-106. 99 The )32 and [33-Adrenoceptor-Mediated Relaxation Induced by Isoprenaline and Salbutamol in Guinea Pig Taenia Caecum Katsuo KOIKE, Tsukasa IcHiNo, Takahiro HORINOUCHI and Issei TAKAYANAGI Departmentof Chemical Pharmacology, Toho University School of PharmaceuticalSciences, 2-2-1, Miyama,Funabashi, Chiba 274, Japan Abstract To understand the receptor subtypes responsible for /3adrenoceptormediated relaxa tion of guinea pig taenia caecum, we investigated the effects of isoprenaline and salbutamol . Isoprenaline and salbutamol caused dose-dependent relaxation of the guinea pig taenia caecum. Propranolol, bupranolol and butoxamine produced shifts of the concentration response curves for isoprenaline and salbutamol. Schild regression analyses carried out for propranolol against isoprenaline and salbutamol gave pA2 values of 8.43 and 8.88, respective ly. Schild regression analyses carried out for butoxamine against isoprenaline and sal butamol gave pA2 values of 6.46 and 6.68, respectively. Schild regression analyses carried out for bupranolol against isoprenaline and salbutamol gave pA2 values of 8.60 and 8.69, respectively. However, in the presence of 3 x 10' M atenolol, 10-4 M butoxamine and 10-6 M phentolamine to block the fir , /32 and a -adrenoceptor effects, respectively, Schild regression analyses carried out for bupranolol against isoprenaline and salbutamol gave pA2 values of 5.77 and 5.97, respectively. These results suggest that the relaxant responses to isoprenaline and salbutamol in the guinea pig taenia caecum are mediated by both the /.32 and the A-adrenoceptors. Key words : f2-adrenoceptor, A-adrenoceptor, isoprenaline, salbutamol , guinea pig taenia caecum Introduction The /3adrenoceptors were subclassified as and /32subtypes based on the agonist potency and tissue localization.

The motor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are secondary to a dopamine deficiency in the striatum. However, the degenerative process in PD is not limited to the dopaminergic system and also affects serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons. Because they can increase monoamine levels throughout the brain, monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MAUIs) represent potential therapeutic agents in PD. However, they are seldom used in clinical practice other than as antidepressants and wake-promoting agents. This review article summarises all of the available literature on use of 50 MAUIs in PD. The compounds are divided according to their relative potency for each of the monoamine transporters.
