Effect of indomethacin on the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Indomethacin inhibited cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in small intestine in in vivo experiments. An inverse pattern of variation was exhibited by acetyl salicylic acid, eterylate and benorylate, acetyl-p-amino-phenol being inactive. Indomethacin, acetyl salicylic acid, eterylate and benorylate increased the protein kinase activity in liver, lung and heart after in vivo administration. The in vivo effect of indomethacin was confirmed by in vitro experiments with small intestine and heart protein kinases. These results support the concept that indomethacin can affect protein kinase activity in a tissue-specific way.

Synthesis and pharmacological properties of eterylate, a new derivative of acetylsalicylic acid.

A description is given of the synthesis and main physical and chemical properties of a new derivative of acetylsalicylic acid which we have called eterylate and which is 2-(p-acetamidophenyloxy)-ethyl-o-acetoxy-benzoate. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic action of the preparation was studied and found to be comparable to that of acetylsalicylic acid and benorylate. Nevertheless, eterylate is tolerated better than the latter product, as is shown by toxicity tests and studies of the digestive system.

The mechanism of viral carcinogenesis by DNA mammalian viruses. VI. A new class of virus-specific RNA molecules in cells transformed by group C human adenoviruses.

A new class of virus-specific RNA molecules was found in cells transformed by group C human adenovirus types 2, 5, and 6. RNA isolated from virus-free rat embryo cells transformed by adenovirus 2, 5, and 6 hybridized with all group C adenovirus DNA's (adenovirus 1, 2, 5, and 6) equally well, but not appreciably with group A and B adenovirus DNA's. Most likely no viral genes common to group A, B, and C adenoviruses are transcribed in adenovirus-transformed cells. Group C adenoviruses are closely related since they share 83 to 93 per cent of their base sequences as shown by DNA-DNA homology measurements. Group C DNA's share only 10 to 26 per cent of their base sequences with group A and B DNA's. Moreover, the shared sequences are not transcribed detectably in adenovirus transformed cells.Virus-specific RNA isolated from group C transformed cells contains 49 to 51 per cent G + C, but viral DNA's possess a 7 to 9 per cent higher G + C content. These differences suggest that only a portion of the viral genome with an average G + C content of 49 to 51 per cent is transcribed in group C adenovirus transformed cells.

Physicochemical characterization of adeno-associated satellite virus type 4 and its nucleic acid.

Based on protein, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and phosphorus analyses, adeno-associated satellite virus type 4 has a DNA content of 26.5%, significantly larger than type 1 which contains 18.9% DNA. Type 4 DNA contains 58 to 62% guanine + cytosine, as calculated from thermal denaturation temperature and buoyant density measurements. Simian adenovirus SV15, which serves as a helper virus for type 4 satellite, contains 13.7% DNA with a guanine + cytosine content of 55 to 57%. The DNA extracted from type 4 satellite virus is a linear, double-stranded molecule, as shown by thermal denaturation temperature profile measurements and by electron microscopy. The contour length and sedimentation coefficient of type 4 DNA indicate a molecular weight of 3.0 x 10(6) daltons.
