Anticoagulant activity of galactosaminoglucuronoglycan: a pharmacological study.

An investigation was carried out to evaluate possible interference by mucopolysaccharide galactosaminoglucuronoglycans on blood clotting processes. Results obtained have demonstrated, both in vivo and in vitro, that the biopolymer has no influence on the principal blood clotting parameters taken into consideration, as regards both a single administration and treatments repeated for 30 days.

Synthesis and evaluation of the analgesic and antiinflammatory activities of N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-diaminoalkanes.

The analgesic and antiinflammatory activities of some N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-diaminoalkanes 3 a-l were studied. The compounds were prepared very conveniently by fusion of phenyl salicylate 2 and diaminoalkanes 1 a-l. The pharmacological activities were influenced by the number of carbon atoms in the polimethylenic chain. Some derivatives were more effective and less gastrolesive than salicylamide.

Researches on antiinflammatory agents. Studies on some new 3-(pyrazol-5-yl)-1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones and -quinazolin-4(3H)-ones.

Following our research on analgesic and antiinflammatory active compounds containing the pyrazole nucleus, a number of 3-(pyrazol-5-yl)-1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones was synthetized and tested. The results of tests for analgesic, antiexudative and antioedema activities, as well as for induction of lesion in the gastric mucosa, are reported and discussed.

Synthesis and evaluation of the analgesic and antiinflammatory activities of N-substituted salicylamides.

Some N-heterocyclic salicylamide derivatives were prepared by fusion of phenyl salicylate and heterocyclic amines, whereas other ones were synthesized by ring closure using N-salicyloyl-N'-anthranylhydrazine as starting material. All the compounds were tested for their analgesic and antiinflammatory activities, as well as for their acute toxicity and ulcerogenic effects, in order to ascertain if the N-substitution would offer any advantages. Some derivatives were more effective than salicylamide and ulcerogenic activity was variably lowered.

[Synthesis and pharmacologic activity of new derivatives of salicylic acid].

New 1-phenyl-2-R2-3-methyl-5-salicyloylimmino-3-pyrazolines were synthesized according to a previously described route. The obtained pyrazoline derivatives, together with some others reported in previous papers, were tested for analgesic and antiinflammatory activities. Some derivatives showed analgesic and/or antiinflammatory activity similar to that of acetylsalicylic acid.

Hypoprolactinemic action of calcitonin and the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system.

The effects of calcitonin on neurochemical parameters related to the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system have been investigated in an attempt to elucidate how calcitonin decreases serum prolactin levels. Intracerebroventricular human or salmon calcitonin injection decreases serum prolactin, medial basal hypothalamic dopamine (DA) and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and hypophysial DA and increases hypophysial DOPAC. Results suggest that calcitonin may decrease prolactin secretion via the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system.
