Synthesis and In Vivo Hypolipidemic Effect of Some N-(Benzoylphenyl)-Carboxamide Derivatives in Triton WR-1339-Induced Hyperlipidemic Rats

A series of N-(benzoylphenyl)-carboxamide derivatives (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b) was prepared with good yields by reacting the corresponding carbonyl chlorides with aminobenzophenones at room temperature. This was followed by evaluating the hypotriglyceridemic and hypocholesterolemic effects of 3b, 5a and 5b. Triton WR-1339 (300 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered to overnight-fasted rats to induce hyperlipidemia. Rats were divided into six groups: control, hyperlipidemic, hyperlipidemic plus compounds 3b, 5a and 5b and hyperlipidemic plus bezafibrate. Results showed that after 18 h of treatment at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight of each of the test compounds, the elevated plasma levels of triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were significantly lowered by compounds 5b and 3b (p < 0.001) and by 5a (p < 0.0001), compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. Compounds 3b and 5a significantly increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) by 58 and 71%, respectively. In addition, compounds 3b and 5a caused significant reduction (p < 0.0001) of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels compared to the control group. These results suggest a promising potential for compounds 3b, 5a and 5b as lipid-lowering agents, which may contribute to reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease

Neonatal screening program for hemoglobinopathies in the city of São Carlos, state of São Paulo, Brazil: analysis of a series of cases / Triagem neonatal de hemoglobinopatias no município de São Carlos, São Paulo, Brasil: análise de uma série de casos

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the neonatal screening program for hemoglobinopathies in São Carlos, Southeast Brazil, by investigating a series of cases in which the screening test was abnormal. More specifically, it was aimed to know the information regarding the neonatal screening received by mothers at the hospital and at primary health care, in addition to information related to genetic counseling. METHODS: A descriptive study that enrolled 119 mothers, accounting for 73% of all children born between 2010 and 2011 with abnormal results of neonatal screening for hemoglobinopathies. The mothers completed a questionnaire that assessed the information received at hospital and primary health care, and issues related to genetic counseling. Descriptive statistics was performed. RESULTS: Of the 119 participating mothers, 69 (58%) had children with sickle cell trait, 22 (18.5%) with hemoglobin C trait, 18 (15.1%) with alpha thalassemia trait and, in 10 cases (8.4%), the result was inconclusive. At the hospital, 118 mothers (99.2%) received information about where to go to collect the test and 115 (96.6%) were informed about the correct time to collect the test. Only 4 mothers (3.4%) were informed about which diseases are investigated and the risks of not performing the screening. Seventeen mothers (14.3%) recognized the difference between trait and disease, and 42 (35.3%) considered that a positive screening test could have implications for future pregnancies. In 70 cases (58.8%), the child's physician was not informed about the screening test results. CONCLUSIONS: The neonatal screening program needs further improvement. In both scenarios investigated, health professionals demonstrated a lack of training in providing information to mothers and families. .

OBJETIVO: Fazer uma análise do programa de triagem neonatal de hemoglobinopatias no município de São Carlos, São Paulo, Brasil, por meio da investigação de série de casos cujo resultado do teste de rastreio foi alterado. Objetivou-se conhecer as informações a respeito da triagem neonatal recebidas pelas mães na maternidade e na atenção primária à saúde, além das informações relacionadas à orientação genética. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo, no qual participaram 119 mães cujos filhos apresentaram teste de triagem de hemoglobinopatia alterado, o que correspondeu a 73% das crianças nascidas entre 2010 e 2011 com resultado de triagem neonatal para hemoglobinopatia anormal. As mães responderam um questionário que avaliou informações recebidas na maternidade e na atenção primária à saúde, além de aspectos relacionados à orientação genética. Foi feita estatística descritiva dos dados. RESULTADOS: Das 119 mães participantes, 69 (58%) tinham filhos com traço falciforme, 22 (18,5%) traço C, 18 (15,1%) traço alfatalassêmico e 10 (8,4%) resultado inconclusivo. Na maternidade, 118 mães (99,2%) receberam informação sobre onde ir e 115 (96,6%) foram orientadas sobre o momento correto para coleta do teste. Somente quatro mães (3,4%) foram informadas sobre quais doenças seriam investigadas e os riscos de não fazer o rastreio. Das 119 mães participantes, 17 (14,3%) reconheceram a diferença entre traço e doença e 42 (35,3%) consideraram que um teste alterado poderia ter implicações para futuras gestações. Em 70 casos (58,8%), o médico da criança não foi informado sobre o resultado da triagem. CONCLUSÕES: O programa de triagem neonatal necessita de aperfeiçoamento. Nos dois cenários investigados, os profissionais de saúde carecem de treinamento para orientar mães e famílias. .

Development of pharmacophoric model of condensed pyridine and pyrimidine analogs as hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) has been established on a series of thirty-eight compounds of four different sets of condensed pyridine and pyrimidine analogs, for their hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor activity, in order to understand the essential structural requirement for binding with receptor, in terms of common biophoric and secondary sites employing APEX-3D software. Among several 3D pharmacophoric models with different sizes and arrangements, one model was selected based on r2 = 0.8, chance<0.001, match equivalent to 0.38 and all the 38 compounds were considered. The results suggest that hydrophobicity, hydrogen acceptor and optimum steric refractivity play a dominant role in the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. The information obtained from the present study can be used to design and predict more potent molecules as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, prior to their synthesis.
