[Toxicity of ethyl-3-(8-fluoro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)-propionate dihydrochloride possessing antiallergic properties].

The toxicity of new gamma-carboline derivative [ethyl 3-(8-fluoro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-gamma-carbolin-5-yl)-propionate dihydrochloride, CD-008-040] has been studied.

[Anti-allergic properties of a novel ethyl 3-(8-fluoro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)propionate dihydrochloride].

The influence of ethyl-3-(8-fluoro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-gamma-carboline-5-yl)propionate dihydrochloride belonging to the class of gamma-carbolines on the allergic reactions (inflammation and systemic anaphylaxis) has been studied on laboratory animals. It was established that the given substance administered in a dose of 5 - 20 mg/kg exhibits a pronounced antiallergic action. Unlike many other antihistamine drugs, this gamma-carboline derivative probably does not produce sedative effect.

[Binding of nuclear proteins with segments of the c-fos gene promotor, localized in position (-465)-(-435) correlates with cell proliferation].

Using gel-retardation assay we have investigated binding of nuclear proteins to the mouse c-fos promoter region 30 b.p. long (nucleotides (-464) - (-435) from TATA-box), localized upstream of PDGF-dependent induction element.

[Nuclear peptides, specifically binding oligonucleotides].

Interaction of alkylating derivatives of oligonucleotides with nuclear extracts from mammalian cells has been investigated. Three modified 1.5-, 3.

[Regulation of the expression of the c-fos gene in cells, reverting from being transformed to the pseudonormal phenotype].

Regulation of c-fos expression in mice sarcoma cell lines CBA and C3H was investigated. Each of the cell lines was represented by a pair of clones: the tumorigenic and the one, which was produced from it by cloning. It was found, that c-fos expression in cells of the pseudonormal phenotype was similar to that in the normal fibroblasts.
