CDP-choline liposomes provide significant reduction in infarction over free CDP-choline in stroke.
Cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline, Citicoline, Somazina) is in clinical use (intravenous administration) for stroke treatment in Europe and Japan, while USA phase III stroke clinical trials (oral administration) were disappointing. Others showed that CDP-choline liposomes significantly increased brain uptake over the free drug in cerebral ischemia models. Liposomes were formulated as DP...
متن کاملPhosphatidic acid accumulation in the membranes of Escherichia coli mutants defective in CDP-diglyceride synthetase.
CTP-phosphatidic acid cytidylyltransferase (CDP-diglyceride synthetase) is a key enzyme in the biogenesis of membrane phospholipids in Escherichia coli. Using a modification of a previously described autoradiographic screening procedure (Raetz, C. R. H. (1975) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 72, 2274-2278), we have isolated six mutant strains in which the specific activity of the synthetase is 1 ...
متن کاملThe maize high-lysine mutant opaque7 is defective in an acyl-CoA synthetase-like protein.
Maize (Zea mays) has a large class of seed mutants with opaque or nonvitreous endosperms that could improve the nutritional quality of our food supply. The phenotype of some of them appears to be linked to the improper formation of protein bodies (PBs) where zein storage proteins are deposited. Although a number of genes affecting endosperm vitreousness have been isolated, it has been difficult...
متن کاملSeptum formation-defective mutant of Escherichia coli.
Mutants of Escherichia coli defective in septum initiation, as well as in septum formation were obtained spontaneously, without mutagenic treatment, by selection of rifampin-tolerant mutants of an antibiotic-permeable strain carrying the envA mutation. The disturbed phenotype was in all mutants aggrevated the low incubation temperatures. One allele, sefA1, was studied in detail. Septum initiati...
متن کاملDefective bone formation in Krox-20 mutant mice.
Endochondral ossification is the prevalent mode of vertebrate skeleton formation; it starts during embryogenesis when cartilage models of long bones develop central regions of hypertrophy which are replaced by bony trabeculae and bone marrow. Although several transcription factors have been implicated in pattern formation in the limbs and axial skeleton, little is known about the transcriptiona...
