A 100 mm I.D. fused-silica capillary was packed with 5 mm diameter silica particles modified with vancomycin. Enantiomeric resolution of fifteen b-receptor blockers and analogs was stu- died by polar organic CLC mode and reversed-phase pCEC mode using mobile phases containing methanol-isopropanol-acetic acid-triethylamine and TEAA buffer-methanol, respectively. Several factors affecting chiral separation were investigated in both CLC and pCEC mode. Good enantiomeric resolution was achieved by CLC mode for propranolol, celiprolol, esmolol, bisoprolol, atenolol, metoprolol and car- teolol using methanol-isopropanol-acetic acid-triethylamine (70 : 30 : 0.05 : 0.05, v/v/v/v) as mobile phase and for clenbuterol, bambuterol, terbutaline, and salbutamol using methanol-isopropanol-acetic acid- triethylamine (50 : 50 : 0.05 : 005 or 50 : 50: 0.025 : 0.05, v/v/v/v) as mobile phase. The baseline was achieved by pCEC mode for the separation of esmolol, bisoprolol, atenolol, metoprolol, carteolol in the mobile phase containing MeOH-0.05%TEAA (pH 7.0) (90 : 10, v/v) (–10 kV), and that of propranolol and celiprolol in the mobile phase containing MeOH-0.025%TEAA (pH 7.0) (90 : 10, v/v)(–10 kV).

  • Clenbuterol Human Effects the Effect of Clenbuterol in Humans Is Researched Through Examining the History and Regulations of the Drug
    Clenbuterol Human Effects The effect of clenbuterol in humans is researched through examining the history and regulations of the drug. Specifically, Alberto Contador’s case is considered. Tag Words: Clenbuterol; drugs; Beta-2 Agonist; Effects; Thermogenic; Fat; Harmful; Authors: Jessie Yeh, Horace Lau, Danielle Lovisone with Julie M. Fagan, Ph.D. Summary (written by Danielle Lovisone) As a sympathomimetic and Beta-2 agonist, clenbuterol have several deleterious effects on the human body. The drug acts as a thermogenic stimulant, increasing lean muscle mass and respiratory efficiency while reducing fat. Cases on clenbuterol, including animal tests and human occurrences, support these unnatural and potentially harmful effects. With this, athletes and body builders have recently increased their use of the drug. Particularly, Alberto Contador has recently been targeted for having traces of clenbuterol in a urine drug test. Contador claims, instead of doping, this trace amount was unknowingly received from ingesting beef in Spain during the 2010 Tour de France. Although clenbuterol is banned in most areas of the world, this explanation seems plausible because the drug is poorly regulated by organizations such as the FDA. To examine Contador’s case further, our group compiled research on clenbuterol to ultimately hypothesize that Contador received this trace amount from contaminated beef. Our findings were submitted to the World Anti-Doping Agency as part of our Service Project.

DESCRIPTION Neogen Corporation’s Clenbuterol ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) test kit is a qualitative one-step kit designed for use as a screening device for the detection of drugs and/or their metabolites. The kit was designed for screening purposes and is intended for forensic use only. It is recommended that all suspect samples be confirmed by a quantitative method such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). ASSAY PRINCIPLES Neogen Corporation’s test kit operates on the basis of competition between the drug or its metabolite in the sample and the drug- enzyme conjugate for a limited number of antibody binding sites. First, the sample or control is added to the microplate. Next, the diluted drug-enzyme conjugate is added and the mixture is incubated at room temperature. During this incubation, the drug in the sample or the drug-enzyme conjugate binds to antibody immobilized in the microplate wells. After incubation, the plate is washed 3 times to remove any unbound sample or drug-enzyme conjugate. The presence of bound drug-enzyme conjugate is recognized by the addition of K-Blue® Substrate (TMB). After a 30 minute substrate incubation, the reaction is halted with the addition of Red Stop Solution.

    !"!#$ CHEMICAL GENETIC INTERROGATION OF NEURAL STEM CELLS: PHENOTYPE AND FUNCTION OF NEUROTRANSMITTER PATHWAYS IN NORMAL AND BRAIN TUMOUR INITIATING NEURAL PRECUSOR CELLS by Phedias Diamandis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto © Copyright by Phedias Diamandis 2010 Phenotype and Function of Neurotransmitter Pathways in Normal and Brain Tumor Initiating Neural Precursor Cells Phedias Diamandis Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto 2010 &'(!)&*!% The identification of self-renewing and multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain brings promise for the treatment of neurological diseases and has yielded new insight into brain cancer. The complete repertoire of signaling pathways that governs these cells however remains largely uncharacterized. This thesis describes how chemical genetic approaches can be used to probe and better define the operational circuitry of the NSC. I describe the development of a small molecule chemical genetic screen of NSCs that uncovered an unappreciated precursor role of a number of neurotransmitter pathways commonly thought to operate primarily in the mature central nervous system (CNS). Given the similarities between stem cells and cancer, I then translated this knowledge to demonstrate that these neurotransmitter regulatory effects are also conserved within cultures of cancer stem cells. I then provide experimental and epidemiologically support for this hypothesis and suggest that neurotransmitter signals may also regulate the expansion of precursor cells that drive tumor growth in the brain. Specifically, I first evaluate the effects of neurochemicals in mouse models of brain tumors. I then outline a retrospective meta-analysis of brain tumor incidence rates in psychiatric patients presumed to be chronically taking neuromodulators similar to those identified in the initial screen.

    European Medicines Agency London, 29 October 2009 EMEA/666243/2009 ISSUE NUMBER: 0910 MONTHLY REPORT PHARMACOVIGILANCE WORKING PARTY (PHVWP) OCTOBER 2009 PLENARY MEETING The CHMP Pharmacovigilance Working Party (PhVWP) held its October 2009 plenary meeting on 19-21 October 2009. PhVWP DISCUSSIONS ON SAFETY CONCERNS Below is a summary of the discussions regarding non-centrally authorised medicinal products in accordance with the PhVWP publication policy (see under http://www.emea.europa.eu/htms/human/phv/reports.htm). Positions agreed by the PhVWP for non- centrally authorised products are recommendations to Member States. For safety updates concerning centrally authorised products and products subject to ongoing CHMP procedures, readers are referred to the CHMP Monthly Report (see under http://www.emea.europa.eu/pressoffice/presshome.htm). The PhVWP provides advice on these products to the Committee of Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) upon its request. Antipsychotics - risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) Identify risk factors for VTE for preventive action before and during treatment with antipsychotics The PhVWP completed their review on the risk of VTE of antipsychotics1. The review was triggered by and based on data from the UK spontaneous adverse drug reactions reporting system and the published literature. The PhVWP carefully considered the data, including the limitations of both information sources, such as the lack of randomised controlled trial data, the heterogeneity of published studies and the potential confounding factors such as sedation and weight gain, commonly present in antipsychotic users. The PhVWP concluded that an association between VTE and antipsychotics cannot be excluded. Distinguishing different risk levels between the various active substances was not possible.
