On the Properties of Styrene-Maleic Acid Copolymer-Lipid Nanoparticles: A Solution NMR Perspective.

The production of functionally active membrane proteins (MPs) in an adequate membrane environment is a key step in structural biology. Polymer-lipid particles based on styrene and maleic acid (SMA) represent a promising type of membrane mimic, as they can extract properly folded MPs directly from their native lipid environment. However, the original SMA polymer is sensitive to acidic pH levels, which has led to the development of several modifications: SMA-EA, SMA-QA, and others.

Analgesic and Psychotropic Effects of a New Bradykinin Antagonist.

A bradykinin B receptors antagonist PAV-0056, an 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one derivative, intragastrically administrated to mice at doses of 0.1 and 1 mg/kg causes analgesia in the "formalin test" not inferior to that of diclofenac sodium (10 mg/kg) and tramadol (20 mg/kg). PAV-0056 at doses of 0.

Pharmacological Effects of a New Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Stimulator in Experimental Ischemic Stroke.

We studied the action of a new indolinone derivative GRS, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), and their combination on platelet aggregation, vasodilatory endothelial function, neurological status, and cerebral infarction area in experimental focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. GRS compound (10 mg/kg), ASA (10 mg/kg), and their combination in the same doses were administered orally once a day as a suspension in 1% starch solution over 5 days after pathology modeling. Sham-operated and control animals were administered 1% starch solution.

Pharmacological Effects of a New Indolinone Derivative in Experimental Pneumonitis in Rats.

We studied the effect of a new indolinone derivative GRS on animal survival and on functioning and histological structure of the lungs in rats with experimental pneumonitis. The rats of experimental groups were intratracheally administered 0.5% aqueous solution of carrageenan under intramuscular anesthesia.
