Abstract

Significance of KOH test and isonitril (isocyanide) reaction tested in 104 patients was compared with our microbial culture results. In Gardnerella vaginalis as well as in no spores forming anaerobic germs the KOH test was not and the isonitril reaction was only insignificant reliable. Both tests are not able to substitute the procedures of culturing germs including those of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum.

alpha - and beta -phosphorylated amines and pyrrolidines, a new class of low toxic highly sensitive 31P NMR pH indicators. Modeling of pKa and chemical shift values as a function of substituents.

Fourteen linear and cyclic alpha- and beta-aminophosphonates in which the P-atom is substituted by alkoxy groups have been synthesized and evaluated as (31)P NMR pH markers in Krebs-Henseleit buffer. pK(a) values varied with substitution in the range 1.3-9.1, giving potentially access to a wide range of pH. Temperature had a weak influence on pH and a dramatic increase in ionic strength slightly modified the pK(a) of the pyrrolidine diethyl(2-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate (DEPMPH). All compounds displayed a 4-fold better NMR sensitivity than inorganic phosphate or other commonly used phosphonates, as assessed by differences delta(b)-delta(a) between the chemical shifts of the protonated and the unprotonated forms. In isolated perfused rat hearts, a non-toxic concentration window of 1.5-15 mm was determined for three representative compounds. Using empirical linear relationships, the experimental values of pK(a), delta(a), and delta(b) have been correlated with the two-dimensional structure, i.e. the chemical nature of substituents bonded to the secondary amine and P-atom. The data suggest that DEPMPH and its cyclic and linear variants are ideal versatile (31)P NMR probes for the study of tenuous pH changes in biological processes.

Cation hexaammines are selective and potent inhibitors of the CorA magnesium transport system.

Cation hexaammines and related compounds are chemically stable analogs of the hydrated form of cations, particularly Mg(2+). We tested the ability of several of these compounds to inhibit transport by the CorA or MgtB Mg(2+) transport systems or the PhoQ receptor kinase for Mg(2+) in Salmonella typhimurium. Cobalt(III)-, ruthenium(II)-, and ruthenium(III)-hexaammines were potent inhibitors of CorA-mediated influx. Cobalt(III)- and ruthenium(III)chloropentaammines were slightly less potent inhibitors of CorA. The compounds inhibited uptake by the bacterial S. typhimurium CorA and by the archaeal Methanococcus jannaschii CorA, which bear only 12% identity in the extracellular periplasmic domain. Cation hexaammines also inhibited growth of S. typhimurium strains dependent on CorA for Mg(2+) uptake but not of isogenic strains carrying a second Mg(2+) uptake system. In contrast, hexacyano-cobaltate(III) and ruthenate(II)- and nickel(II)hexaammine had little effect on uptake. The inhibition by the cation hexaammines was selective for CorA because none of the compounds had any effect on transport by the MgtB P-type ATPase Mg(2+) transporter or the PhoQ Mg(2+) receptor kinase. These results demonstrate that cation hexaammines are potent and highly selective inhibitors of the CorA Mg(2+) transport system and further indicate that the initial interaction of the CorA transporter is with a fully hydrated Mg(2+) cation.

Active transport inhibition in rat small intestine by amphiphilic amines: an in vitro study with various local anaesthetics.

In the present investigation with rings of everted rat small intestine, amphiphilic amines such as local anaesthetics (e.g. lidocaine, procaine, tolycaine) were employed to study their effects on intestinal absorption of methyl alpha-D-glucoside, L-leucine, D-fructose, and 2-deoxy-D-glucose. All the amphiphilic amines tested, except for benzocaine, significantly inhibited Na(+)-dependent active uptake of methyl alpha-D-glucoside and L-leucine while leaving uptake of D-fructose (facilitated diffusion) and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (passive diffusion) unaffected. Increasing concentrations of lidocaine in the incubation medium inhibited the uptake of methyl alpha-D-glucoside (IC(50) approximately 3.5 mmol/L) and L-leucine (IC(50) approximately 6 mmol/L) in a dose-dependent manner. Complete reversibility of the inhibitory effect could only be achieved at short-term incubations (</=2 min) and low lidocaine concentrations (</=3 mmol/L), otherwise inhibition became partially irreversible. Uptake kinetics of methyl alpha-D-glucoside and L-leucine in the presence of lidocaine revealed a significant increase in the apparent Michaelis constant, leaving the maximal transport capacity essentially unaltered. Reducing the Na(+) concentration in the incubation medium aggravated inhibition by lidocaine of the uptake of methyl alpha-D-glucoside. Analysis of the inhibition kinetics by Dixon plots revealed a competitive interaction between Na(+) and the amphiphiles. However, phlorizin binding was not affected by lidocaine. Changing the pH of the incubation medium from 5.6 to 8.0 increased the inhibitory effect of the amphiphiles, which indicated that the non-ionised and, thus, more lipophilic form participates in the mechanism of inhibition. However, benzocaine, a rather lipophilic local anaesthetic with no aliphatic amino group, did not impair active uptake of methyl alpha-D-glucoside. Whether the amphiphilic amines act by their partition into the membrane matrix or directly interact with sodium binding sites remains to be elucidated, however.
