Identifying chelators for metalloprotein inhibitors using a fragment-based approach.

J. Med. Chem. 54 , 591-602, (2011)

Fragment-based lead design (FBLD) has been used to identify new metal-binding groups for metalloenzyme inhibitors. When screened at 1 mM, a chelator fragment library (CFL-1.1) of 96 compounds produced hit rates ranging from 29% to 43% for five matrix metallop...

Hydration energies of protonated and sodiated thiouracils.

J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 25(12) , 2134-42, (2014)

Hydration reactions of protonated and sodiated thiouracils (2-thiouracil, 6-methyl-2-thiouracil, and 4-thiouracil) generated by electrospray ionization have been studied in a gas phase at 10 mbar using a pulsed ion-beam high-pressure mass spectrometer. The th...

Simultaneous determination of thyreostatic residues in animal tissues by matrix solid-phase dispersion and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1074 , 1-7, (2005)

A method for determination of thyreostatic residues in animal tissues by matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion detection mode was developed. Thyreostatic compounds in different matrices were extracted an...

Combinations of growth promoters in veal calves: consequences for screening and confirmation methods.

Zentralbl. Veterinarmed. A 45(6-7) , 425-40, (1998)

This study investigates the influence of low dosages of beta-agonists combined with other growth promoters on screening and confirmation methods in male veal calves. Five groups of four calves were treated for 6 weeks with combinations of low dosages of beta-...

Histomorphometry and quantification of nucleolar organizer regions in bovine thyroid containing methylthiouracil residues.

Vet. Pathol. 36(6) , 574-82, (1999)

In order to study the morphology and morphometry and to characterize and quantify the nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) of bovine thyroids containing methylthiouracil (MTU) residues, five animals were orally treated with a suspension of MTU (5 g/animal/day) ...

Induction of manganese superoxide dismutase by thyroid stimulating hormone in rat thyroid cells.

FEBS Lett. 416(1) , 69-71, (1997)

Alterations in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) content of thyroid tissues occurring in association with thyroid dysfunction have been reported. In this study, the Mn-SOD content was found to increase in thyroid tissues of rats administered thyroid stimulating ...

Determination of propylthiouracil and methylthiouracil in human serum using high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection.

J. Chromatogr. B. Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Life Sci. 854(1-2) , 239-44, (2007)

Based on the sensitizing effect of formaldehyde on the chemiluminescence (CL) reaction of propylthiouracil (PTU) and methylthiouracil (MTU) with acidic potassium permanganate and the combination technique of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a se...

Influence of thiouracil-induced hypothyroidism on adrenal and gonadal functions in adult female rats.

J. Vet. Med. Sci. 60(4) , 439-46, (1998)

The effect of hypothyroidism on adrenals and gonads in adult female rats was investigated throughout the estrous cycle. Hypothyroidism was induced by administration of 4-Methyl-2-Thiouracil (Thiouracil) in the drinking water. The weight of ovaries and adrenal...

In vivo modulation of annexins I, II and V expression by thyroxine and methylthiouracil.

Eur. J. Biochem. 242(3) , 506-11, (1996)

Regulation of annexin concentration and localization were investigated in thyroid tissues of hypothyroid [methylthiouracil (MeSur) treatment], euthyroid (control) and hyperthyroid [thyroxine (T4) treatment] rats. A low level of circulating thyroid hormones in...

Synthesis and biological activity of modified thiopyrimidine nucleosides.

Nucleosides Nucleotides 18(10) , 2307-15, (1999)

N3-beta-D-glucopyranosyl, galactopyranosyl and xylopyranosyl 6-methyl-2-methylthiouracil and their 5-bromo derivatives have been synthesized by coupling an alpha-acetobromosugar with the corresponding thiouracil. The new modified thiouridine analogues were ev...
