Teratology study of two isoglutamine derivatives.

The embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of N-phthalyl isoglutamine (2), a metabolite of thalidomide, and of "K-2004-1c", 2-(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-endo-3-endo-dicarboximido)-glutaric acid 1-amide (4), the main metabolite of the test compound "K-2004" (proposed generic name: biglumide), a nonteratogenic congener of thalidomide, have been investigated in mice and rats. Whereas 2 proved to be highly teratogenic and embryotoxic, 4 showed none of these activities in the dose range from 50 to 400 mg/kg.

[Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of derivatives of 1,3-indandion (author's transl)].

The embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of 1,3-indandion and of 3 of its derivatives were proved. Pregnant SWS mice were given single i.p. injections on day 9 of gestation. A mixture of physiologic saline and TWEEN20 (3:1) was used as a solvent. The results refute the hypothesis of the action of thalidomide as an acylating agent responsible for the embryotoxic and teratogenic effect. The results favor instead the hypothesis of an intercalation of the flat purine-like molecule moieties of thalidomide and some of its analogues between base pairs of the DNA double helix.

[Postmortal coronarography by means of a roentgen double contrast method].

In the conventional postmortem coronary angiogram and vessels are illustrated by a "compact" filling with contrast medium. In the case of the double contrast technique, a thin film of contrast medium is brought about the inner surface of the arteries. Gas injected under controlled pressures into the vessels acts as a further control against the surrounding media. The method is suitable for a more precise illustration of the subepicardial and large intramural coronary arteries. Of particular advantage is the high transparency of the x-ray pictures and the possibility to make the coronary ostia visible. The evaluation of x-ray pictures produced at different controlled pressures permits conclusions about pressure-volume relations of defined vessel sections, which then can be analysed histologically.
