A 52 year old female patient presented to emergency casualty with Acute onset quadriparesis respiratory muscle involvement in. During initial work up Serum electrolytes showed severe hypokalemia. Arterial blood gas normal anionic gap metabolic acidosis positive urine anion and examination alkaline PH in the presence of systemic acidosis. All these findings suggest Distal Tubular Acidosis. Furth...

Hepatic metabolism of prostacydin (PGI,) results in the formation of several biologically inactive lipids and one stable product that has the same chromatographic and biological properties as authentic 6-keto PGE,. Both prostaglandins, 6-keto PGE, and PGI2, hare comparable potency in their antiaggregatory and disaggregatory effects on platelets. They contract the superfused rat stomach strip bu...

Hepatic metabolism of prostacyclin (PGI2) results in the formation of several biologically inactive lipids and one stable product that has the same chromatographic and biological properties as authentic 6-keto PGE1. Both prostaglandins, 6-keto PGE1 and PGI2, have comparable potency in their antiaggregatory and disaggregatory effects on platelets. They contract the superfused rat stomach strip b...

distal renal tubular acidosis is a syndrome of abnormal urine acidification and is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypercalciurea, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. despite the presence of persistent hypokalemia, acute muscular paralysis is rarely encountered in males.here, we will report an eighteen year old male patient who presented with flaccid quadripar...

4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a potent tobacco-specific carcinogen, has been demonstrated to induce lung tumors in animals and is suspected to be a human carcinogen. Cytochromes P450 are the major enzymes responsible for the activation of NNK in microsomes from the lung and liver of rat and mouse, as well as human liver. The present study investigated the enzymes respons...

A self-condensation cyclization reaction mediated by phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) and catalyzed by zinc bromide (ZnBr2) is presented for the synthesis of polysubstituted 4-pyridones and 2-pyridones from β-keto amides. A variety of β-keto amides are used in this approach, and a wide range of functionalized 4-pyridones and 2-pyridones were obtained in good to excellent yields. When employing the N...

We have examined the effect of activated neutrophils on the release of prostacyclin (PGI2) from cultured endothelial cells by radioimmunoassay and thin layer chromatography of its stable metabolite, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha). Phorbol myristate acetate-activated neutrophils induced a time- and dose-dependent release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha from human and bovine endothelial c...

Although biochemical studies have been made of the cY-keto analogues of a number of a-amino acids, the cr-keto analogues of isoleucine have received relatively little attention. Two cY-keto analogues of this amino acid are possible, namely d-a-keto-p-methylvaleric acid, which has the same configuration at the P-carbon atom as L-isoleucine and n-alloisoleutine, and Z-a-keto-p-methylvaleric acid,...
