Rapid visualization of mammary gland tumor lesions of dogs using the enzyme-activated fluorogenic probe; γ-glutamyl hydroxymethyl rhodamine green.

Since gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is highly and locally expressed in human breast cancer, a GGT-enzymatically activatable fluorescent probe, gamma-glutamyl hydroxymethyl rhodamine green (gGlu-HMRG), has been developed to detect the human breast cancer area with high performance. In this study, GGT expression and the efficacy of gGlu-HMRG on visualization were investigated in canine mammary gland tumors (MGT). Seventeen non-fixed fresh-frozen MGT specimens and each peritumoral control tissue were utilized.

Diurnal Variation of Sitagliptin-Induced Pharmacological Effects in C57BL/6J Mice.

Chronopharmacology is the study of the varying responses of drugs to changes in biological timing and endogenous periodicities. The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin is a globally prescribed anti-hyperglycemic drug. Although dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors are usually administered once, the specific intake time is generally not mentioned.

Chronopharmacology of dapagliflozin-induced antihyperglycemic effects in C57BL/6J mice.

Chronopharmacology is the study of the varying responses of drugs to changes in biological timing and endogenous periodicities. The selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, is a globally prescribed antihyperglycemic drug. Although dapagliflozin is usually administered once a day, the specific intake time is generally not mentioned.

Pulsed Nd:YAG laser-induced photoreaction of cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene at 266 nm: selective cyclization to cis-bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-7-ene.

Nanosecond-scale pulsed laser irradiation of cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene via an Nd:YAG laser at 266 nm induced highly selective cyclization of the 1,3-diene moiety to afford cis-bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-7-ene in high yield.
