Cognitive effects of a new pyrrolidine derivative (levetiracetam) in patients with epilepsy.

Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry

Epilepsy centre, Heemstede, The Netherlands.

Published: May 1995

1. A new pyrrolidine derivative (levetiracetam), resembling piracetam, was given as antiepileptic concomitant drug to patients with chronic epilepsy. 2. In a single-blind add-on rising-dose study the cognitive side-effects were investigated twice after one week of administration. 3. The results did not show any significant changes in cognitive performances.

Dirhodium-Palladium Dual-Catalyzed [1 + 1 + 3] Annulation to Heterocycles Using Primary Amines or HO as the Heteroatom Sources.

The ever-increasing demand in chemical biology and medicinal research requires the development of new synthetic methods for the rapid construction of libraries of heterocycles from simple raw materials. In this context, the utilization of primary amines or HO as the simple - or -sources in the assembly of a heterocyclic ring skeleton is highly desirable from the viewpoint of atom- and step-economy. Herein, we describe a highly efficient three-component reaction of diazo, allylic diacetates, and commercially available anilines (or HO) to access structurally diverse pyrrolidine and tetrahydrofuran derivatives.

Detection of Hepatitis C Virus Infection from Patient Sera in Cell Culture Using Semi-Automated Image Analysis.

November 2024

Department of Infectious Diseases, Molecular Virology, Section Virus-Host Interactions, Heidelberg University, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.

The study of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in cell culture is mainly based on cloned viral isolates requiring adaptation for efficient replication in Huh7 hepatoma cells. The analysis of wild-type (WT) isolates was enabled by the expression of SEC14L2 and by inhibitors targeting deleterious host factors. Here, we aimed to optimize cell culture models to allow infection with HCV from patient sera.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) still causes death in elderly and immunocompromised individuals, for whom the sustainability of the vaccine response may be limited. Antiviral treatments, such as remdesivir or molnupiravir, have demonstrated limited clinical efficacy. Nirmatrelvir, an acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) major protease inhibitor, is clinically effective but has been associated with viral rebound and antiviral resistance.

A synthetic strategy of a three-component spiro-pyrrolidine compound based on benzofuran via an [3+2] azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction is reported herein. Under mild optimal conditions, this reaction can quickly produce potentially bioactive compounds with a wide range of substrates, high yield, and simple operation. The desired products were obtained with a yield of 74-99% and a diastereomeric ratio (dr) of >20:1.
