Perioperative treatment with cilostazol reverses steatosis and improves liver regeneration after major hepatectomy in a steatotic rat model.

Cilostazol has previously been shown to reduce liver steatosis and enhance hepatic perfusion. We investigated the effects of cilostazol after major hepatectomy in a steatotic rat model. Six weeks prior to surgery, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-fructose diet.

Does a carboxamide moiety alter the toxicokinetics of synthetic cannabinoids? A study after pulmonary and intravenous administration of cumyl-5F-P7AICA to pigs.

Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are consumed as an alternative to cannabis. Novel compounds are developed by minor modifications in their chemical structure, e.g.

Toxicokinetic modelling of the synthetic cannabinoid 5F-MDMB-P7AICA and its main metabolite in pigs following pulmonary administration.

Aims: Since their emergence on the drug market, synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are still gaining increasing importance in forensic toxicology. The representatives of the so-called new psychoactive substances have in common that they have not undergone preclinical safety studies. Hence, knowledge on toxicokinetic (TK) data is sparse.

Deficiency Does Not Substantially Affect Femoral Fracture Healing in Mice.

Inflammation has been recognized as major factor for successful bone regeneration. On the other hand, a prolonged or overshooting inflammatory response can also cause fracture healing failure. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein (NLRP)3 inflammasome plays a crucial role in inflammatory cytokine production.

Enantioconvergent Negishi Cross-Couplings of Racemic Secondary Organozinc Reagents to Access Privileged Scaffolds: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study.

An enantioconvergent palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with racemic secondary organozinc reagents has been developed, enabling access to enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkane motifs in high yields and enantioselectivities. Computational data indicates that the racemization of organozinc compounds most likely occurs through a bridged bimolecular mechanism.
