Although thalidomide was withdrawn due to teratogenicity and neuropathy, there is now growing clinical interest in this compound because of its immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic properties. In 1998, thalidomide was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), an inflammatory complication of Hansen's disease, through a restricted-use ...

The aim of this paper was to validate an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of PTX and its active metabolite (-)-(R)-M1 in rat serum and some tissues using a high-performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). The specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, lower limit of detection, lower limit of quantification and stability study we...

A simple, rapid, specific and precise liquid chromatography—tandem mass spectrophotometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantification of chiral separated R-bicalutamide from S-bicalutamide, in human plasma. Topiramate (TPM) was used as internal standard, added to plasma sample prior to extraction using t-butyl methyl ether (TBME). Chromatographic separation was achieve...

OBJECTIVE This study examined differences between juvenile offenders with AD(H)D (n = 1,348), with both AD(H)D and conduct problems (n = 933), and without AD(H)D or conduct problems (n = 2,180) in recidivism rates, prevalence of risk and protective factors, and strength of associations between risk/protective factors and recidivism. METHOD Existing data were used, collected with the Washingto...

The online availability of scientific-literature databases and natural-language-processing (NLP) algorithms has enabled large-scale bibliometric studies within the field of scientometrics. Using NLP techniques and Thomson ISI reports, an initial analysis of the role of Alzheimer's disease (AD) within the neurosciences as well as a summary of the various research foci within the AD scientific co...

The title compound, C(20)H(32)N(5)O(8)P·0.5C(4)H(6)O(4), is composed of two 9-{2-[bis-(pivaloyloxymeth-oxy)phosphinylmeth-oxy]eth-yl}adenine, commonly known as adefovir dipivoxil (AD), mol-ecules linked to the carb-oxy-lic acid groups of succinic acid (SA). The asymmetric unit contains one mol-ecule of AD and half a mol-ecule of SA, which sits on an inversion center. Both adenine units in the t...
