Glutaraldehyde affects biocompatibility of bioprosthetic heart valves.

A marked release of glutaraldehyde from commercially available pericardial bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV) material in washing solutions was found by high performance liquid chromatography (up to 1.8 ppm of glutaraldehyde per gram of dry tissue). In vitro endothelial cell proliferation rate was impaired dose-dependently in the presence of increasing glutaraldehyde concentrations of the cultivation medium (r = 0.9; p less than 0.05). Cultivation of endothelial cells was impossible on the surface of commercially available BHV material, but successful and uninhibited when toxic glutaraldehyde ligands of the BHV material were antagonized by treatment with L-glutamic acid.

[Synthesis of the isocamphene series. 33. The synthesis of fungicidal norbornane derivatives].

Starting from the corresponding amines the syntheses of various norbornyl ureas with potential fungicidal activity are described. These new compounds possess a tricyclo[5.2.1.0(2,6)]decane, or an isocamphenilane, a camphenilane, an exo- and endo- dimethylnorbornane or a bicyclo[2.2.2]octane carbon skeleton. With the exception of the first class all other derivatives bear a geminal dimethyl group--important because of its shielding effect--at C-3 of the bicyclus. Some ureas, especially 6 and the acetamide 5, are active against phytopathogenic fungi.

[Glutaraldehyde residues in heart valve prostheses].

Bioprosthetic heart valves prepared from glutaraldehyde-pretreated bovine pericardium are used to replace diseased human cardiac valves. Mineralisation in the course of time and toxic effects are possibly caused by glutaraldehyde residues. Different washing methods carried out before transplantation are compared with regard to the different ability of glutaraldehyde extraction.
