Abstract

The SIMCA method of pattern recognition (PaRC) was used to analyze structure-activity data for a series of phenethylamine agonists and antagonists of the beta-adrenergic receptor. On the basis of physicochemical substituent parameters the SIMCA method classified correctly 100% of the agonists and 88% of the antagonists. In addition, parameters derived from the class models were correlated with the biological activities of the agonists and antagonists, respectively. Test compounds not included in the initial data analysis were classified and their activities estimated. The applicability of pattern recognition in structure-activity studies in general is discussed.

Multiple effects of guanine nucleotides on human platelet adenylated cyclase.

We report that the adenylate cyclase system in human platelets is subject to multiple regulation by guanine nucleotides. Previously it has been reported that GTP is either required for or has little effect on the response of the enzyme to prostaglandin E1. We have found that when platelet lysates were prepared in the presence of 5 mM EDTA, GTP lowered the basal and prostaglandin E1-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, but at a higher concentration of Mn2+, it caused an increase in enzyme activity exceeding that occurring in the presence of prostaglandin E1. In the presence of Mn2+, dGTP mimics the effect of GTP and is 50% as effective as GTP. Our data suggest that the inhibitory effect of GTP on prostaglandin E1-stimulated adenylate cyclase is mainly due to its direct effect on the enzyme itself, whereas the stimulatory effect of GTP on prostaglandin E1-stimulated adenylate cyclase is due to enhancement of the coupling between the prostaglandin E1 receptor and adenylate cyclase. These studies also indicate that the method of preparation of platelet lysates can profoundly alter the nature of guanine nucleotide regulation of adenylate cyclase.

[Biochemical effects of psychotropic drugs in central nervous system (author's transl)].

Studies on the biochemical effects of clinically used psychotropic drugs in brain have shown that they all exert their action by a direct or indirect interference with synaptic transmission. Thus, animal studies in vivo and in vitro have shown that the clinical efficacy of antipsychotic drugs correlates with their inhibitory action on dopamine receptors. In vivo these compounds enhance dopamine turnover in the brain and in vitro they inhibit the dopamine sensitive adenylate cyclase and the binding of dopamine to its receptor at neuronal membranes. Tricyclic antidepressants are drugs which have effects on many transmitter systems. No specific biochemical action has been found which is closely correlated with their clinical potency. However, it appears that a stimulation of the function of the noradrenergic system might have some clinical relevance. Benzodiazepines exert their pharmacological activity in the CNS by interacting with a brain specific receptor. This receptor appears to be part of a larger complex including a GABA receptor and the chloride conductance mechanism associated with the GABA receptor. By binding to their receptor, benzodiazepines appear to enhance the sensitivity of the GABA receptor, thus indirectly potentiating GABA-ergic neurotransmission in the brain.
