Purpose: To evaluate the effects of isoxsuprine and nicotine on TRAM.

Methods: Forty eight 48 Wistar rats distributed into four Groups (n=12). All rats received medication managed daily for 20 days: saline solution (SA), nicotine solution (NI), isoxsuprine solution (IS) and nicotine solution (NI) + isoxsuprine solution (IS). On day 21st the rats were submitted to the caudally based, right unipedicled TRAM flap and after 48 hours, made the macroscopic evaluation of the surface of the flap, photographic documentation and collection of material for histology. Data from macroscopic evaluation were analyzed by ANOVA and microscopic evaluation by Kruskal-Wallis test, with significance level of 5%.

Results: In the macroscopic evaluation of isoxsuprine Group retail presented absolute numbers: final area (p=0.001*) and viable area (p=0.006*) with the highest values; necrosis (p=0.001*) had the lowest value. Microscopic examination revealed no significant findings in the study of TRAM under the action of isoxsuprine and nicotine to the percentage of necrosis in the left and right cranial and caudal regions.

Conclusions: There was significant improvement in viability of TRAM using the isoxsuprine solution alone. No influence using nicotine alone and in association with isoxsuprine.

Analysis of 10 β-agonists in pork meat using automated dispersive pipette extraction and LC-MS/MS.

An analytical procedure for the analysis of 10 β-adrenergic agonists (cimaterol, terbutaline, salbutamol, isoxsuprine, ractopamine, cimbuterol, clenbuterol, brombuterol, mabuterol and mapenterol) in pork meat was developed and validated using LC-MS/MS. An automated dispersive pipette extraction (DPX) was employed on a Hamilton Microlab® NIMBUS96® platform to extract the analytes of interest prior to LC-MS/MS analysis. The extraction time was <20 min with a total LC-MS/MS run time of 9.

In the present work, the interaction of Isoxsuprine (ISX) with Calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) under physiological conditions (Tris-HCl buffer of pH 7.4) was investigated by using electronic absorption, circular dichroism, viscosity, electrochemical studies, fluorescence techniques, salt effect studies and computational studies. Competitive fluorimetric studies with Hoechst 33258 have shown that ISX exhibit the ability to displace the DNA-bound Hoechst 33258, indicating that it binds to ct-DNA in strong competition with Hoechst 33258 for the minor groove binding.

Visual discrimination of phenolic group β₂-agonists and the ultrasensitive identification of their oxidation products by use of a tyrosinase-based catalytic reaction.

The fast, visual discrimination of β2-agonist drugs is needed for the on-site screening of various types of β2-agonists in blood and urine samples. We developed a simple, rapid, one-step colorimetric method to detect phenolic β2-agonists by use of a tyrosinase catalytic reaction, which involved the oxidation of the phenol group on the benzene rings of β2-agonists. The enzymatic oxidation products of β2-agonists with phenolic groups exhibited different color transitions based on the different substituent groups on the aromatic ring, whereas β2-agonists with the aniline group or the resorcinol group remained colorless.

A new method has been developed using a hybrid triple-quadrupole linear ion trap (QTrap) mass spectrometer for the fast detection and identification of nine beta-agonists, clenbuterol, salbutamol, ractopamine, ritodrine, terbutaline, isoxsuprine, tulobuterol, cimaterol and bambuterol, in one single liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. The homogenized tissue samples were purified with liquid-liquid extraction after enzymatic hydrolysis by P-glucuronidase/aryl sulfatase. After gradient elution separation on C(18) LC column using acetonitrile and formic acid aqueous solution as the mobile phases, a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) scan as survey scan and an enhanced product ion (EPI) scan as dependent scan were performed in an information dependent acquisition (IDA) experiment.
