2011 GREETINGS
On behalf of the Planning, Organizing and Scientific Committees of the
International Congress of Pharmacology Mexico 2011, we welcome all attendees.
The joint meeting of the XXXIV Congreso Anual de la AsociaciГіn Mexicana
de FarmacologГ­a A. C. (AMEFAR), the 54th Annual Meeting of the Western
Pharmacology Society (WPS), and the 2nd Latin American Meeting of the
International Society of Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), is the sixth occasion since
1966, that Mexican and Northamerican Pharmacologists gather together to continue
efforts for spreading and updating knowledge for continuous development of
Pharmacology, as a basic science fundamental for therapeutic advances.
The transition towards a more preventive Medicine in a scenario of complex
diseases demands a personalized diagnostic and treatment approaches, particularly
those related to the use of medicaments. The contribution of outstanding Clinical and
Basic Pharmacology and Therapeutics Researchers in the academic program of the
International Congress of Pharmacology Mexico 2011 highlights the key essence of
21st Century Pharmacology as an integrated and integrative science.
Sustainable development of Pharmacology and Therapeutics is a complex
task that requires the cooperation of all parties involved. Hereby we acknowledge the
enthusiastic participation of higher education institutions, health care institutions,
academic associations, government regulatory agencies, editorial and
pharmaceutical companies whose cooperation made this meeting possible.
Special mention deserves the generosity of the Faculty of Medicine of the
Universidad Nacional AutГіnoma de MГ©xico (UNAM) by hosting the International
Congress of Pharmacology Mexico 2011 in the splendid Palace of the School of
Medicine in Mexico City.
Our recognition to Dr. Enrique Graue Wiechers, Dean of the Faculty of
Medicine, UNAM, and Honorary President of this Congress.

TOTAL PHENOLIC CONTENT AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF CERCIDIUM PRAECOX
Rola Aburto Amar, Universidad de la CaГ±ada, TeotitlГЎn, Oaxaca, MГ©xico
There is evidence that suggests a correlation between the antioxidant activity of plant
phenolic compounds and the prevention from such diseases as cardiovascular diseases,
1,2
certain cancers and several other age-related degenerative disorders . Although traditional
3
Mexican medicine utilizes approximately 5000 plants , most of these species have not been
evaluated as sources of natural phenolic antioxidants. The aim of this study was to determine
the total phenolic content (TPC) and the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the methanolic
extract of the flowers of Mantecoso (Cercidium praecox), a plant used in Mexican folk
medicine. Plant material was collected in Oaxaca, Mexico, and extracted by standard
5
maceration process. The TPC was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau micro method ,
and was expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) in mg per g of dry extract. The TAC was
6
determined using the Cupric Ion Reducing/Antioxidant Power Assay (CUPRAC) , and was
expressed as troloxВ® equivalents (TE) in mg/ per g of dry extract. A Green tea (Camellia
sinensis) sample were purchased from an ordinary shop and subjected to the same
7
processes, since it is one of the richest sources of natural phenolic antioxidants .The TPC
values of C. praecox and C. sinensis were 52.1 В± 1.6 and 229.3 В± 5.1 mg GAE/g of dry
extract, respectively. Their TAC values were 1.37 В± 0.21 and 3.83 В± 0.46 TE/g of dry extract,
respectively.The demonstration of the antioxidant activity and the phenolic content of C.
praecox contribute to validate its traditional medicinal use. Although Mantecoso has lower
TPC and TAC values than Green tea, it represents an interesting regional source of natural
phenolic antioxidants, since the latter is barely consumed in non urban zones.

The lymphocyte growth factor Interleukin 2 (IL-2) has proven to be effective in the therapy
against human tumors by activating the immune system, in particular the cytolytic Tlymphocytes (CTLs) and killer cells. Nevertheless, the systemic delivery of IL-2 has been
limited by its high toxicity. In this respect nanoparticles constitute an interesting tool for in situ
IL-2 delivery. Our work group has shown that several cervical cancer cells express, like
lymphocytes, the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) on their membranes. Recently we have reported the
construction of a nanocarrier structure that expresses non-covalently bound IL-2 on its
external surface that renders the particle susceptible to be attached to IL-2R-bearing cells. In
order to evaluate the stability of our IL-2 nanocarrier particles, their physical integrity in
different conditions of temperature, light and pH was determined using a cytometer for
particle size and complexity. Our results demonstrated that the nanocarrier presented a
suitable stability as long as the buffering system (pH) stayed under control. (Grant: ICYT

Dicloxacillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin that is widely used to treat a wide variety of bacterial
infections including pneumonia, infections of the urinary tract and skin. Currently, the reports
about its pharmacokinetic information in humans are very scarce. The purpose of this study
was to characterize the oral pharmacokinetics of dicloxacillin in Mexican female volunteers.
Eighteen female healthy volunteers aged 24.58 В± 0.86 years, weighing 59.85 В± 1.18 kg, and
of 158.13 В± 1.28 cm height were volunteered for participation in this study. All volunteers
were fit according to medical history, medical examination and suitable laboratory tests. The
volunteers read the protocol approved by the institutional ethics and research committees
and gave written informed consent for participation. After an overnight fast the volunteers
received an oral dose of 500 mg of dicloxacillin and plasma samples were obtained at
selected times during a 6 hours period and stored frozen at -80В°C. Plasma levels of the drug
were determined using a high performance liquid chromatographic method developed in our
laboratory and pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained by non-compartmental approach.
Parameters values were (mean В± s.e.m.): Cmax 25.91 В± 1.35 Вµg/mL, tmax 0.96 В± 0.16 h, AUC
43.58 В± 1.52 Вµg.h/ml and t1/2 0.83 В± 0.08 h. These results indicate that dicloxacilline is quickly
absorbed and it has a short half-life, which is according to some previous reports.

The use of traditional medicinal remedies and plants in the treatment of type-2 diabetes is an
important aspect of health treatment and the same time reduces financial burden. The aim of
the present research was to collect and to perform the botanical identification of the plants
empirically used for diabetes control in La Chontalpa community, in Tabasco, MГ©xico. One
herbalist and twelve diabetic patients were interviewed and they mainly mentioned the use of
12 plants for control diabetes. Bibliographic review was made on line to complete the
pharmacological information. The plants were botanically identified for a biologist as: Allium
satirum (ajo); Matricaria recutita (manzanilla); Azadirachta indica A.Juss (neem); Allium cep
L. (cebolla); Artemisia ludoniciana (esencio verde); Morinda citrifolia (noni); Ananas comosus
(L) Merr (piГ±a); Bixa orellana (achiote); Arnica montana (arnica); Momordica charantia
(cundeamor); Tabebuia rosea (bertol) DC (macuili); Eupatorium petiolare (amargocilla,
cuasia). Other plants were mentioned for a great diversity of uses medicinal. The information
on line indicated that these plants may be used for diabetes control too. These plants were:
Capraria biflora L (claudiosa); Lactuca sativa L (lechuga); Opuntia ficus-indica (nopal); Zea
mays (pelo de maГ­z); Lochnera rosea (L) Reichenb (vicaria); Aloe vera (sГЎbila). This study
was supported by PFICA (UJAT-2009-CO5-05)

A commonly used method to induce insulin-dependent diabetes in rodents is a single dose
injection (i.p.) of streptozotocin (STZ). We investigated the diabetogenic effect of STZ in the
rat at 0 day and 1, 30, 60 and 90 days post-administration of STZ (50 mg/kg, i.p.). Male
Wistar rats aged 14 weeks (weight range, 300-350 g) were used. Diabetes was confirmed
one day after injection by measurement of tail vein blood glucose levels (>250 mg/dL). Thirty,
60 and 90 days after STZ injection, glycemia was again determined. STZ, but not saline
injection caused hyperglycemia. The blood glucose level measured in these rats was greater
than 250 mg/dL one day after STZ injection. During the following 90 days, the blood glucose
levels were maintained above of 250 mg/dL in diabetic but not in non-diabetic rats. In
addition, rats treated with STZ did not gain weight (-20%) compared to those treated with
saline. Our data suggest that the changes in the levels of blood glucose and body weight are
depend of time and diabetes-induced STZ is a good model animal that it may be used for
chronic studies. This study was supported by PFICA (UJAT-2009-CO5-05).

Global cerebral ischemia (GCI) can lead to the death of selectively vulnerable neurons like
the CA1 pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus, as a consequence of progressive cellular
processes evolving as short- or long-term patterns of neuronal damage after ischemia.
Progesterone (P4) has shown to preserve the functional integrity of the hippocampus in spite
of a severe long-term (90 days) loss of the pyramidal neuron population at CA1, and to
prevent the progression of functional deficits after ischemia. The aim of this study was to
compare the CA1 pyramidal neuron population at 28 or 97 days after GCI, under treatment
with P4 or its vehicle, to assess possible differences in the progression of neuronal damage
after ischemia. Three groups of adult male rats were used: Sham, subjected to surgical
maneuvres; Isch+Veh, subjected to GCI (20 min) by the four-vessel occlusion model (4-VO)
and treated with vehicle; Isch+P4, subjected to GCI (20 min) by 4-VO and treated with P4 (8
mg/kg, IV) at 15 min, 2, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h post-ischemia. No differences were found at 28 vs
97 days in the CA1 pyramidal neuron population of the Sham group. A severe pyramidal
neuron loss was observed at CA1 in the Isch+Veh group being higher at 97 vs 28 days after
ischemia (37 and 14% remaining neurons respectively, as compared to the Sham). A severe
neuronal loss (15 and 25% remaining neurons respectively), was also observed in Isch+P 4
rats. The results suggest a progression of neuronal damage at CA1 in the absence of
neuroprotective treatment after 28 days post-ischemia, and confirm previous observations
that the functional integrity of the hippocampus may be preserved in P4- but not in Vehtreated rats, in spite of a severe neuronal loss in CA1.

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of ChagasВґ disease. The T. cruzi О±-HADH isozyme
II (HADH) is involved in the parasite energy metabolism and it has been demonstrated that
selective inhibitors of HADH show trypanocidal activity. It was reported that N-propyl oxamate
(NPOx) was inhibitor of HADH, however due to its polarity it cannot diffuse through the
parasite membrane to exert the trypanocidal effect. Therefore in this investigation we
evaluated the trypanocidal effect of ethyl and benzyl esters of NPOx (NPOx-Et and NPOx-B
respectively). Both compounds were evaluated on the activity of the T. cruzi HADH using a
homogenate of T. cruzi, where carboxyl-esterases are also present, the NPOx-B and NPOxEt inhibited T. cruzi HADH in similar way than NPOx, it indicated that NPOx is the true
inhibitor of T. cruzi HADH. Then we evaluated the in vitro effect of NPOx-B on the circulating
trypomastigotes of the NINOA strain, which was proportional to the concentration of this
substance, reaching 100% of death with 8 mM concentration. On the contrary the INC-5
strain was less susceptible to the action of these compounds. Similar results were obtained
with NPOx-B on cultured epimastigotes of both strains. In comparison the NPOx-Et showed
lesser in vitro trypanocidal activity than NPOx-B. Besides the NPOx-B showed higher activity
+
on depletion of intracellular concentrations of NAD and ATP in comparison with NPOx-Et.
These results demonstrate that the trypanocidal activity of these oxamates is a consequence
of the energy metabolism decrease of this parasite. Thereafter, in vivo trypanocidal activity of
NPOx-B on parasitaemia and amastigote nests was greater than NPOx-Et on NINOA or INC5 acute infected mice. This agrees with the NPOx-B hydrophobicity that allows it to cross
biological barriers. The results obtained suggest that NPOx-B could be used as a prodrug to
the Chagas's disease.

Introduction: Ganoderma lucidum is a basidiomycete fungus that is used in traditional
Chinese medicine. Polysaccharide and triterpene are two major categories of compounds
purified of this species, which are attributed to its potent biological activity. Studies have
indicated that components of these extracts have a wide range of pharmacological actions
including to the Central Nervous System. Purpose: In this work we analyze whether
Ganoderma lucidum has a protective effect in the hippocampus of rats treated with kainic
acid and if this response is correlated with a reduction in inflammatory cytokine tumor
necrosis factor-пЃЎ (TNF-пЃЎ), Interleukin 1Гџ (IL1Гџ) expression, and further reduction in
astrocytes activation (glial fibrillary acidic protein expression). Material and methods: Rats (5)
were administered with GL (10mg/kg i.p) or vehicle (distillated water), thirty min after was
injected kainic acid (KA) (5 mg/kg). Twenty four hours after the animals were transcardially
perfused and their brain collected for histological and histochemical purposes. Results: The
hippocampal tissue from KA injected animals (5 mg/kg) showed a significant degree of cell
damage in the dentate gyrus and CA3, extensive cell loss, atypical neurons with unusual
cytoskeletal inclusions, piknotic nuclei and shrunken cytoplasmic, edema at neuropil,
enhanced immunorectivities to GFAP, expression of TNF-пЃЎ and IL1Гџ was observed. The
treatment of rats with GL (10 mg/kg) before to KA significantly prevented all these markers.
Conclusions: Our results shows that GL protect against KA induced alterations of
hippocampal cells and confirm the efficacy of the treatment, are an effective experimental tool
to reduce the brain lesions associated with inflammatory responses.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of
pigmented dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta with subsequent
striatal dopamine (DA) deficiency and increased lipid peroxidation in substantia nigra. The
etiology of the disease is still unclear, and it is thought that PD may be caused by a
combination of genetic and environmental factors. In the search of new pharmacological
options, statines have been recognized for their potential application in neurodegenerative
disease. The aim of this work is to characterize the neuroprotective effect of lovastatine in a
+
model of PD induced with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP ). Male Wistar rats (200-250 g;
n = 6/group) were divided in 4 groups and treated for 7 days depending on the experimental
+
group. Control group(C) and MPP group (M) received 0.5mL/kg of DMSO i.p. Lovastatine
group (L) and Lovastatine/MPP+ group (LM) were treated with 5mg/Kg of lovastatine i.p. On
day 7 the groups M and LM received an intraestriatal injection of MPP+ (15Вµg/8ВµL) and
saline for the groups C and LM. Six days after inducing damage, the circling behavior
induced by apomorphine (1 mg/kg S.C.) was assessed and 24 hrs later rats were sacrificed
by decapitation and the striatum was dissected and stored at -70В°C until HPLC analysis.
Lovastatin administration diminishes significantly the turns counting (54%) when compared to
the M group (p<0.05), this neuroprotection was corroborated comparing the DA levels
between both groups.

The worldwide prevalence of hypertension (HTA) in adults is 20-25% and of these 70% live in
developing countries. In Mexico, the HTA held the ninth leading cause of death in 2002, with
a rate of 10.38 per 100, 000. It is the first per capita consumer of drugs in Latin America, with
sales growth of 13% (2000- 2005). The HTA is a public health problem, and is a disorder
where the patient must wear a life-long treatment, so it is necessary to identify and monitor
the use of drugs to improve the quality of prescribing, and as taking into account the limited
public resources and the continuous increase of drug costs. ВїTo determine the patterns of
use of antihypertensive drugs and their impact on the patient? The evaluation of the use of
antihypertensive drugs allows us to make more efficient investment spending, increase
effectiveness and reduce damage in patients with the aim of improving the quality of life of
hypertensive patients. The health system must implement programs that improve the quality
of care at a lower economic cost, and that hypertension has an impact on mortality in Mexico
and worldwide. A study of drug utilization with a crossover design in three different times
(2000, 2005 and 2010). The target population will be patients with hypertension outpatient
and inpatient at a hospital in Mexico City. A questionnaire was designed on purpose (general
data, factors that determine or influence the prescription number and type of medication).
The pharmacoepidemiology is a useful tool to learn how drugs are used to contribute to a
more rational use and reduce the damage caused to patients.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in major industrialized countries, and the first cause
of motor disability and cognitive deficit. Cerebral ischemia induces a wide range of clinic
manifestations, such as motor incoordination, sensory, cognitive and behavioral deficits,
which prevent patients to continue with their normal life style. Bilateral sequential common
carotid artery sectioning (SCAS) is a model developed in our laboratory; that produces a
reproducible pattern of mortality, extensive brain damage and a wide range of measurable
neurobehavioral alterations. Thus, the aims of this work were to identify and describe
alterations in learning and memory induced by SCAS on the elevated plus maze (EPM)
performance and to evaluate the neuroprotective efficacy of dexrazoxane in reducing
cognitive deficit. For that purpose we used male CFW middle-aged (40-60 weeks), mice were
randomly assigned to three different groups: SCAS, sham or control group. For the cognitive
evaluation we used a modification to the procedure proposed by Itoh et al (1990), i.e., we
calculated the average of the right choices made by mice during the testing session. Briefly,
mice were trained (4 consecutive days) to enter the reinforced arm, which was reinforced with
a drop of sweetened milk. All animals performed three trials per session, before (basal), and
24, 48, 72 and 96 h after surgery. Our results showed that ischemic animals slept and groom
more than sham animals after the surgery. Second surgery reduced the SCAS group
performance at 24 h and 48 h compared with the first surgery which did not modify the
performance, namely, SCAS performance average did not reach the criterion along the
acquisition phase since most of the SCAS animals were not able to achieve more than the
85% of right choices through the experiment compared with control group.

Cancer is a group of diseases with high incidence national and World wide. In 2008, the
mortality rate in MГ©xico took the third place. Most of the time the treatment for Cancer, is very
expensive, sometimes toxic, and inefficient. Moreover, is necessary to do research in more
antitumor cancer cases and to use medicinal plants in the process as the ―hierba del cancer‖
(Prunella vulgaris). These medicinal plants are frequently used in a traditionally way. The aim
of the present research was to prove the antitumor effect of the ―hierba del cancer‖ as oral
etanolic extract. The plant was recollected from de Hidalgo state. In this study were created
two groups: One group was for control and the other one was for treatment. Each one with 10
mice. The extract was administered oral every day till the mice died. The rodents form both
groups were weighed every 48 hours and were registered the day they died. The statistical
evaluation from the data was realized for the anova test. It was observed the difference
between the two groups with the Tukey test. The values with p<0.05, were consideration
statistical significantly different.The Grow tumor was measure in grams and this one was
smaller in treatment group as difference form the control group. The group treatments wash
increment of the life time respect to the control group. In the present work, the use of etanolic
extract of Prunella Vulgaris wash partiality inhibited of the grow tumor, and prolongation of
the life time.

Introduction: the establishment of experimental models is crucial for understanding the
pathogenesis and development of new diabetes treatments. Epidemiological data indicate
that the disease is more prevalent in women; however experimental commonly used male
rats for the diabetes type 2 (DM2) evaluation. On this basis, this study aims to determine the
gender differences in DM2 induced with streptozotocin (ETZ) and nicotinamide (NA) model.
Method: adult female (200 п‚± 20 g body weight) and male Wistar rats (300 п‚± 50 g body weight)
were used. For each case a control and diabetic group were formed. DM2 was induced with
ETZ (65 mg/kg; ip) and NA (120 mg/kg; ip) 15 minutes after ETZ administration. The water
and food consumption were recorded daily in 4 rats samples of each group.
Urinary and blood samples on days 21, 28, 35, 42 and 48 were obtained for glucose, protein
and ALAT concentration determination. With these values, urinary flow, glucose clearance
and diabetic rat percentage were calculated. Results: both cases DM2 rats with, showed a
water and food intake increase as well as an urinary flow increase. In female rats, a longer
hyperglycemic state was observed (even to 48 days) compared with male rats (even to 35
days). The higher diabetic rat percentage was 78.6% (28 days) and 46.7% (21 days),
respectively.
Conclusion: female rats presented for a longer time and a higher percentage of
hyperglycemic state with DM2 EZT-NA model.

Cervical Cancer is the second major cause of death in women; actually there are few
selective treatments to aboard the latest phases in the disease. The present drugs have
several side effects and they have a little selectivity function, it generates the necessity to
develop new selective compounds to the cancer treatment. It is known the Capsaicinoids and
derivate have an antiproliferative effect in human cancer cell lines. Newly capsaicinoides
analogues attempt to find new compounds with apoptotic, and antiproliferative activity, as a
selective function against the cancer cells. In this work the apoptotic, antiproliferative, and
cytotoxic activity of the Rinvanil an analogue of capsaicin was evaluated on cervical cancer
cell lines HeLa, CaSk
CaSki, and ViBo respectively. Rinvanil diminish the CasKi and HeLa percentage cells in G1
phase, and increases the subG1 cellular number. However the ViBo cells are not affected in
the cellular cycle. The cytotoxic effect indicate that Rinvanil affect in 26.31%, 13.47%, and
7.89% in CaSki, ViBo, and HeLa respectively. An increased level of active Caspase-3 was
observed with the Rinvanil treatment in all the cell lines, indicating a apoptotic property.
Interesting Rinvanil does not have a cytotoxic effect, and eater does not affect to the
proliferative potential in non tumoral cells fibroblastic and lymphocytic cells. These results
show to the Rinvanil as a selective antitumor activity compound and therefore serve as a
promising lead candidate for further optimization

Certain saponins are bioactive compounds and have medical uses. It has been reported that
saponins have properties such as anticancer, hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycemic and anti-oxidant
activity. The diverse activity of saponins could be explained by its complexity of chemical natures.
Structurally, saponin has a general backbone structure, a policyclic aglycone of either steroid or
triterpenoid in nature. Diosgenin is a steroidal sapogenin with estrogenic and antiproliferative
activity and induce apoptosis in several cell lines. In this work, the synthesis of the new cholestane
glycoside (25R)-3ОІ,16ОІ-diacetoxy-22-oxocholest-5-en-26-yl ОІ-D-glucopyranoside (26-OH-Di-Glu)
starting from diosgenin is described and its anticancer properties on cervicouterine cell lines
were tested. In order to evaluate its antitumor activity, we determined their effect on cell
proliferation, cell cycle, and cell death. The cytotoxic effect of the compound on HeLa, CaSki, ViBo
cell lines, and human lymphocytes was also evaluated; the results show a null effect on tumoral
cells as on lymphocytes cells, implying that 26-OH-Di-Glu is not cytotoxic. The compound inhibits
the growth of tumor cells with IC50= 20 Вµg/mL in HeLa and ViBo cells and 23 Вµg/mL in ViBo cells.
The observation of apoptotic bodies as well as the increase in the expression of active caspase-3
along with the fragmentation of DNA, confirmed that 26-OH-Di-Glu induced apoptosis in tumor
cells. Significantly, its antiproliferative activity on tumor cells did not affect the proliferative potential
of peripheral blood lymphocytes. The compound shows selective antitumor activity and therefore
serves as promising lead candidate for further optimization.

Recent evidence suggests that statins as simvastatin (SIM) have neuroprotective action in
different neurodegenerative conditions as Huntington’s disease (HD). Even when their mechanism
of protection have not been elucidated completely, it has been proposed that could be due to
antioxidant properties related to an increase in the paraoxon-1 activity, making them a possible
pharmacologic therapeutic option. Quinolinic acid (QUIN) is an endogenous agonist of N-methylD-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, widely used as an experimental model of the excitotoxicity related
to HD. Four experimental groups of seven male Wistar rats were used (n=28, w=200-250g)
according to the treatment administered intraperitoneally: SIM (5 mg/Kg) or DMSO during 7 days.
After this treatment groups were separated into QUIN (240 nmoles/Вµl) or isotonic saline solution
(ISS) by striatal administration: Group I, DMSO+SSI; group II, SIM+SSI; group III, DMSO+QUIN
and group IV, SIM+QUIN. Animals body weight was recorded daily. After 6 days of QUIN-induced
damage, circling behavior was done and striatal GABA levels were determined by HPLC. Results
showed a decrease of 42% in ipsilateral turns in SIM group in comparison with the damage-control
group and GABA level was preserved in relation to QUIN group (p<0.05). These preliminary
results show a neuroprotective effect of SIM against neurotoxicity induced by QUIN, which will be
complemented with other studies.

A series of platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with hexadentate TPXN type ligands
195
(TPEN, TPTN and TPHN), were synthesized and characterized. The
Pt NMR spectrum
indicates that a single type of platinum atom is present. Redox properties of these
compounds have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The increase of the length of the
spacer arm in the ligand presents a favorable effect on the platinum complexes, diminishing
their activation energy. Among all the studied complexes [Pd 2(II)TPHNCl2]Cl2 presented the
highest antineoplasic activity in transformed lung cells, similar to the one shown by
cisplatinum, i.e. damage to microtubules from cytoskeleton and nuclei, profile DNA genomic
shown light changes. Furthermore, growth alterations, profile proteins changes; possibility the
alteration of DNA originated by palladium complex it is reflects in quantitative decrease of
proteins. The results shown that palladium (II) complex, cause alterations at different cellular
levels, we can assume that palladium (II) complex, might have different biological mechanism
of action. It becomes evident that the most careful and guided ligands selection is
fundamental to obtain metallodrugs with anticancer property.
BIOMARKERS: EXPRESSION OF SPHINGOMYELINASE AND CERAMIDASE IN SERUM

Introduction: It has been suggest that enzymes involved in ceramide generation (neutral
sphingomyelinase [N-SMase], acid sphingomyelinase [A-SMase], and serine-palmitoyltransferase [SPT]) and ceramide hydrolysis (ceramidase) can to contribute to the progression
of microvascular disease in diabetes. Therefore, these enzymes can be used as biomarker. A
biomarker is a biologic characteristic that is measured and evaluated objectively as an
indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic response to
therapeutic intervention. Typically these are immunohistochemical stains but, more recently,
mRNA or protein. In this study we evaluated the expression of N-SMase and ceramidase in
serum and kidney of diabetic rats at protein levels. Methods: Experiments were performed in
male Wistar rats weighing 300-350 g. The rats were divided into two groups: control and
diabetic rats (n=10 each). We evaluated the expression of N-SMase and ceramidase in
serum and kidney of diabetic rats at protein levels by Western blot. Results: Four weeks after
treatment with STZ, the body weights of the diabetic rats were significantly lower than those
of the control rats (263 В± 8 g vs. 363 В± 10 g), and the diabetic rats were hyperglycemic (23.77
В± 0.5 mmol/L vs. 4.7 В± 0.4 mmol/L). We observed that only increased expression of the
ceramidase at protein levels in the serum of diabetic rats compared with those of controls
(2019 В± 65.41 vs 959.2 В± 28.28 arbitrary units). Conclusion: Expression of ceramidase in
serum can be used as biomarker in diabetes. Acknowledgment: This project was supported

INOSINE EFFECT ON INSULIN SIGNALING IN C9 HEPATIC CELLS; MOLECULAR
MECHANISMS. Arellano-Plancarte A., Villalobos-Molina R. Unidad de InvestigaciГіn en
Biomedicina, Fes-Iztacala UNAM
Inosine is a purine nucleoside formed from the breakdown of adenosine, is metabolized to
xantine and uric acid by xanthine dehydrogenase. Although inosine was widely believe to be
inert, in recent years has been demonstrated that inosine inhibits the release of
proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and that exerts anti-inflammatory process, also
several reports suggest a benefit effect of inosine on blood glucose levels and the inosine
treatment appears to protect against the development of type 1 diabetes in a mouse model.
However despite the beneficial effect of inosine on glucose levels that has been proposed, at
least one report suggests that when inosine is released after hypoxia activates hepatic
glucose liberation having a hyperglycemic effect. For this time the effect of inosine on
glucose levels is controversial and the molecular mechanisms involved are still unknown. The
purpose of this work is to investigate in a hepatic cell line the effect of inosine on key proteins
and events of the insulin signaling. The results showed that inosine treatment inhibits insulininduced glycogen-synthase phosphorylation on serine 641/645 and Akt 1/2/3 thr 308
phosphorylation, suggesting that inosine treatment have a negative regulatory role on insulin
signaling, however interestingly we also showed that inosine treatment potentiates insulininduced Akt 1/2/3 ser 473 phosphorylation suggesting a dual effect on Akt. How inosine
induces its effect and what proteins are involved are the questions that we are now trying to
resolve.

Amphetamine (AMPH) is a psychostimulant drug that produces release of dopamine (DA)
and norepinephrine (NE) in the presynaptic terminal and blockades the reuptake from the
synapse. The stimulus control exert by AMPH is mediated by D2. Modafinil interact with
multiple molecular targets in the brain (О±-adrenergic receptor, 5-HT, GABA, glutamate,
histamine), including DAT proteins. Substantial evidence indicates that modafinil exerts its
effects via presynaptic dopaminergic mechanisms, inhibits DA transporter (DAT).The purpose
of the present study was to determine if AMPH was able to produce a dose dependent
stimulus gradient and if Modafinil substitute the discriminative cue produced by AMPH.
Subjects were 20 male Wistar rats, trained to discriminate AMPH (3 mg/kg, i.p.) from vehicle
in a two operant task; each lever was correlated with a fixed ratio (FR10) schedule of
reinforcement. Results: Discrimination test and substitution test data are expressed as the
mean percentage of response on the drug-appropriate lever in each period with different
doses of AMPH and modafinil and were analyzed with one-way ANOVA. We found that
AMPH was able to exert control over lever selection in the drug discrimination task by
producing a dose dependent stimulus gradient.

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. Is
currently the most common cause of death in the population, by far, lung is the most common
fatal cancer in men (30%), followed by prostate (9%), and colon-rectum (9%). In women,
lung (26%), breast (15%), and colon-rectum (9%) are the leading sites of cancer death.
Ethno-pharmacology has become a promising strategy for treatment human cancer. In fact
traditional medicine employs plants and herbs to stop the development of cancer.
Furthermore, these plants have one of the main sources of active drugs for new cancer
chemoprevention. Kalanchoe sp. (family Crassulaceae) is widely employed in folk medicine
in Mexico for treatment of wounds, burns, and diseases related to cell damage, particularly
cancer.In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic effect of ethanolic, ethyl-acetate and
hexane extracts of stems and leaves of Kalanchoe pinnata, Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri and
Kalanchoe flammea by MTT and CV dying assay in various cancer cell lines. As many
natural occurring compounds are genotoxic, we evaluate the mutagenic properties with or
without CYP450 metabolic activation, using a preincubation procedure of the Salmonella
assay (Ames test) with strains TA98, TA100 and TA102. In dose dependent manner ethanol
and ethyl-acetate extracts decrement the cell viability against lung (A549), colon (HT29),
prostate (PC3) and were not mutagenic on the Ames test. Hexane extracts was not cytotoxic
against these cell lines and were mutagenic on strains TA98 and TA100. In summary our
data suggest that ethyl acetate extract of Kalanchoe flammea is a potential candidate to
realize further studies about its phytochemical components and their mechanism of action in
cancer cells.

Alcoholic cirrhosis usually presents oxidative stress. Due to the need for new therapeutic
strategies in alcoholic cirrhosis, we studied the effect of Crataegus oxyacantha whose antioxidant
action has been described. To determine the involvement of C. oxyacantha it was induced a
model of alcoholic cirrhosis by 12 weeks in Wistar rats, which were co-administered with an
extract of C. oxyacantha at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The oxidation degree and liver damage were
determined by hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPox) and erythrocyte plasma membrane stability
(EPME), as well as serum activities of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (пЃ§-GTP) and alanine
aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin, liver glycogen and histological changes. Furthermore,
Lucifer yellow transfer in liver parenchyma was measured to assess the GJIC. In alcoholic
cirrhosis, LPox increased 3.2 times over the control, while EPME decreased to 50%. These results
confirm a noticeable oxidative stress, related to metabolic and enzymatic damage, since пЃ§-GTP
and ALT, increased by 43% and 164% respectively; bilirubin increased by 412%, while the basal
glycogen storage was depleted up to 17%. GJIC decreased in alcoholic cirrhosis, evidenced by
less transfer of Lucifer yellow, which was prevented by administering C. oxyacantha,
which also prevented the alterations on systemic and hepatic oxidative damage, reducing the
LPox, and partially avoiding loss of EPME while the GJIC was recovered. These preliminary
results support the potential usefulness of Crataegus oxyacantha phytotherapy to alleviate and
prevent some alterations during the experimental alcoholic cirrhosis. Project funded by SEPPIFOP 2002-33-04 and Fondo Sectorial SEP-CONACYT, Ciencia BГЎsica, CB-20080105986* Number 15607 CONACYT.

17ОІ-aminoestrogens (AEs) produce anticoagulant effects that contrast with those
procoagulant of 17ОІ-estradiol (E2) in rodents. AEs decrease LH, increase uterine weight and
induce lordosis behavior of the female rat, activating transcription through the estrogen
receptors (ERО±, ERОІ). The aim of this work was to explore the AEs capabilility to induce
proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells which is estrogen dependent. Viability was
estimated in metabolically active cells by the MTT assay. 2500 cells per well in 96 well plate
were left to atach for 24 h and treated during six consecutive days with different

From 10M to 10M induced a linear proliferative effect. The AEs proliferative effect on
MCF-7 cells related to the control was: E2=3.33; prolame=3.00; butolame=3.39; and
pentolame 2.72. Their relative proliferative effect to E2 (100%) was: 86%; 103% and 77%.
Their relative potency to E2 (100) was: 90, 96, and 95 respectively. Tamoxifen inhibited the
AEs proliferative responses in a similar way to E2 suggesting the participation of the ER

receptors in their proliferative action. From 10M the response decreased and at 10M AEs
induced inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation. This response was not inhibited by tamoxifen
indicating other mechanism involved in their antiproliferative response.

Patients with depression show greater susceptibility to suffer epilepsy, but so far there are no
animal models to study this comorbidity. The present study was carried out to determine the
seizure susceptibility of Wistar Kyoto rats that normally show depressive-like behaviors.
Seizure activity was induced by daily administration of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MP, 37.5
mg / kg, i.p.) for 10 days. The results obtained were compared with those from Wistar rats. In
WKY rats, the seizures induced by the repetitive 3-MP acid were as follows: 82% myoclonus,
70% clonus, 49% tonic seizures. In contrast, Wistar rats presented 76% of myoclunus, 49%
of clonus and 35% of tonic seizures. The statistical analysis revealed that WK animals
presented high incidence of clonic seizures. Therefore, we conclude that the WKY strain is
most susceptible to suffer seizures than Wistar strain. (Supported by CONACyT grant 98386

The presence of aged patients in the dental office is increasingly common, however it is
important to note that this population suffers from multiple chronic diseases and use of
several drugs at once. To the extent that the dentist knows the physiological changes and
comorbidities of these patients carry out a more timely and safe practice.
To determine the prevalence of chronic diseases and polypharmacy in older patients
attending dental clinic in a primary care level. We did an observational descriptive crosssectional, 99 patients 60 years old and over attending dental clinic in 2010, in an IMSS family
medicine. Last reviewed the medical notes of each patient in the information system of family
medicine, were asked how many patients consumed daily medications, informed consent.
Variables: gender, age, number of chronic diseases and number of drugs that consumed
time. 54.5% of patients were female with an average age of 71.2 years. The average was 3.4
chronic diseases, polypharmacy was present in 73.7%, with an average of 5.7 drugs ingested
daily. According to age and number of chronic diseases were found statistically significant
results p = 0.004. As observed comorbidity and polypharmacy favors older physiological
capacities of elderly are decreased. In dental practice these aspects are rarely taken into
account as the frequent use of AINES and antibiotics in this population as vulnerable can
lead us to the presence of any adverse reactions.

Background/Aims: Sphingolipids can be hydrolyzed by sphingomyelinase (SMase) to
generate ceramide. Ceramide can interact directly with cytosolic phospholipase A2пЃЎ (cPLA2пЃЎ)
and regulates arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in many cell types. Thus, this study was
performed to investigate whether there is interaction between SMase and cPLA 2 signal
transduction pathways and how this might contribute to the renal vascular response.
Methods: To evaluate the renal vascular response to exogenous SMase, experiments were
performed on isolated perfused rat kidneys in the presence and absence of inhibitors of
arachidonic acid metabolism. Results: Exogenous SMase (0.4 units) constricted the
vasculature in the isolated perfused rat kidney (30.38В±2.2 mmHg). Renal vasoconstriction
was diminished by arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone an inhibitor of cPLA2пЃЎ, 5,8,11,14eicosatetraynoic acid an inhibitor of all AA pathway,
indomethacin an inhibitor of
cyclooxygenase (COX), furegrelate an thomboxane A2 (TXA2) -synthase inhibitor, SQ29548
an TXA2-receptor antagonist (12.55В±0.75, 13.46В±0.5, 8.2В±1.6, 9.5В±0.5, 11.4В±0.97 mmHg
respectively). In addition, the bolus injection of SMase also was associated with an increase
in the release of thomboxane B2 (TXB2), the TXA2 metabolite; the TXB2 production was
inhibited by indomethacin and furegrelate (750В±100, 350В±75, 250В±75 pg/ml respectively).
Conclusion: Our results show that ceramide released by SMase activate cPLA2 to release
AA, and hence the AA can be metabolized by COX pathway to form TXA2 in isolated
perfused rat kidney, this signaling pathway represents a novel signal transduction
mechanism for renal vasoconstriction. Acknowledgment: This project was supported by a

Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes that represents a major world
health problem. This type of pain is often characterized by stimulus-independent persistent
pain or abnormal sensory perception of pain, such as allodynia and hyperalgesia. Moreover,
conventional analgesics that relieve acute pain cannot exert sufficient effects on neuropathic
pain associated with diabetes and no potentially effective drug for treatment of this pain is
currently available. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of meloxicam and
proglumide combination in diabetic neuropathy. The experiments were performance using
male Wistar rats on weight 280-320 g. Rats were injected with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg i.p.),
three days later, hyperglycaemia was confirmed using an Accu-Chek blood glucose
monitoring system. Four weeks after diabetes streptozotocin injection, glycaemia was again
determined and only animals with a final blood glucose level ≥300 mg/dl were included in the
study. The paw withdrawal threshold was determined by the up-down method of Dixon and
Chaplan et al. Allodynia was considered to be present when paw withdrawal thresholds were
4 g. Streptozotocin injection caused hyperglycemia. Four weeks after diabetes induction
Meloxicam and proglumide was evaluated in diabetic rats. Meloxicam (10, 30 mg/kg, i.p.)
significantly reduced allodynia in diabetic animals, but not vehicle. In addition, proglumide
(40, 80, 160 mg/kg, i.p.) produced increased the withdrawal threshold. Moreover, meloxicam
and proglumide combination diminished allodynia in diabetic rats. Results suggest the
participation of COX and CCK pathway in diabetic neuropathy. Supported by PFICA, grant

The 5-Hydroxytryptamine6 (5-HT6) receptor has been implicated in the process of memory
consolidation and associated with some aspects of the stress response regulation The aim
of this study was to investigate, by the use of pharmacological tools, the implication of the 5HT6 receptor in the formation (or consolidation) of memory and how it can be affected by a
prior exposure to acute stress. The stressor employed was a modified version of the forced
swimming test (FS) 24 hours before training. The cognitive test used was a two trial novel
object recognition task (NORT). One-hundred and twenty male Wistar rats, weighing 250 to
300 grams, were divided into 12 groups. The first four groups were treated with saline or the
5-HT6 receptor antagonist SB-271046 (5 mg/kg), which were administered i.p. immediately
after training to animals with or without previous FS. The other 8 groups followed a similar
pharmacological regime, with the antagonist RO-046790 (10mg/kg; i.p.), and the agonists E6801 and E-6837 (5 mg/kg; i.p.). The animals were trained and evaluated 24 hours later.
The results show a decrease in the discrimination ratio of the previously stressed animals,
an effect directly related to affected memory consolidation. This effect was reversed by the
administration of both agonists, but by neither of the antagonists of the 5-HT6 receptor. It is
therefore likely that the effect of stress on cognitive processes is related to possible changes
in the number and functioning of 5-HT6 receptors. However, further research is necessary to
explore this hypothesis. The authors are grateful to the ESTEVE company for donating the

Weight reducing drugs like sibutramine and L-carnitine directly act on central nervious system
(CNS). However, the effect of these drugs on serotonergic system of animals on hypoproteic
diet is still unknown. Based on the above, the objective of the present study is to determine
the effect of sibutramine and L-carnitine on 5-HIAA and GSH levels in brain regions of rat fed
with low and normal protein diets. Young female Sprague Dawley rats on normal (23%
protein) and hypoprotein (7% protein) diets were used. The animals were distributed by
chance in groups of 4 per diet, and were treated for 10 days as follows: group 1, saline
solution NaCl 0.9%; group 2, sibutramine (10mg/kg), group 3, L-carnitine (500mg/kg); grupo
4, sibutramine (10mg/kg) + L-carnitine (500mg/kg). All treatments were administered
intraperitoneally. The animals were sacrificed by decapitation at the end of treatment, and
their cerebrum, cortex, hemisphere, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata were extracted to
determine the levels of glucose, glutathione (GSH), lipid perioxidation (Tbars), and 5-hydroxilindol acetic acid (5-HIAA). The weight of animals with low protein diet was found to be
significantly lower (p<0.05) in comparison with the groups of animals on normal diet. Based
on the results, it is suggested that sibutramine and L-carnitine induce biphasic antioxidant
effect, and alter serotonergic metabolism in the brain regions of female rats under different
nutritional conditions.

Some drugs that are clinically used in weight control, like sibutramine, act on the serotonergic
metabolism, but its relation with zinc and free radical (FR) production in the CNS is still
unknown. Aim: To evaluate the effect of sibutramine and zinc on FR production. Methods:
Female Wistar rats about 250g weight were used; animals received sibutramine (10mg/kg
and zinc 400Вµg/kg each 36 hours) intraperitoneally during 15 days. At the end of the study,
the rats were sacrificed and its brains used to measure lipid peroxidation (TBARS), reduced
glutathione (GSH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), calcium and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5HIAA) levels, by means of validated methods. Results: The corporal weight and food
consume were decreased in sibutramine plus zinc group. TBARS decreased in cortex,
hemispheres and medulla oblongata, likeness, GSH decreased in cortex, hemispheres and
cerebellum by effect related to sibutramine group. Zinc given alone and combined with
sibutramine decreased H2O2 concentration in the cortex, hemispheres and cerebellum, but
increased calcium and 5-HIAA concentration in all brain regions. Our results suggest that
sibutramine and zinc produce an antioxidant effect on different brain regions and both may
be used to potential the control of food intake and lowering body weight in the clinical
practice.

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are expressed in response to several stress forms. Since the protein
synthesis is increased, there is interest to investigate the Hsps role in pathology of Alzheimer
disease (AD). It is known that Hsps interact directly with betasome one Hsps has been attributed lectinic activity i.e., they are capable of recognizing
glicoconjugates residues. Therefore, the objective of this work was to observed the effect of the
25-35 fraction beta-35, the cells were processed to
immunocytochemistry technique with antibodies for Hsp27, 60, 70, 90 and 105, and seven lectins
(ALL, ConA, MAA, MRL, SNA, PNA and WGA). The images were acquired with software IM100 of
Leica microscopy. The results show that inmunoreactivity levels in HsPs are increasing to respect
to time of incubation when compared to control gruop.Iinmunoreactivity level of ALL, MAA and
MRL was a little bit. Inmunoreactivity level of Con A, PNA and WGA was very abundant; SAN had
shortly increased th
-35 during
incubation didn’t change respect to control group. It is known that C6 cells express high activity of
synthesis and secretion of glycosaminoglycans. Proliferative and adhesive properties of the C6
are dependent on the expression of surface glycoproteins. It was concluded that the stress
-35 modifies Hsps inmunoreactivity and sites whose recognized lectins are
modified. Biochemical determinations will be made to learn about the relationship between these
proteins in vitro study.

Plants must protect themselves from oxidation induced by UV radiation exposure in the outdoor
environment where they grow. These protective mechanisms have evolved over many years and
have provided interesting chemicals that can be learned and incorporate in cosmeceuticals
products. Antioxidants are compounds that can eliminate ROS and protect the body from free
radicals. It has aroused great interest in free radicals and its relation to cell aging. This increased
oxidative stress at the cellular level resulting in pathophysiological processes such as cancer,
cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative (Alzheimer, Parkinson) and cataracts. Therefore, it is
vitally important to find molecules that are able to minimize or prevent damage caused by free
radicals. To determine the antioxidant capacity of tlanchalagua (Erythraea tetramera Schiede)
Plant extracts was obtained by reflux with different solvents for 6 hrs, then concentrated under
reduced pressure yielding about 10 ml. Different concentrations were prepared extracts and tested
for antioxidant activity with ABTS (2.2 '-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid). We
evaluated the ability to capture free radicals by the ABTS assay of each extract. There is a higher
antioxidant capacity in the ethanol extract (91.48%), followed by ethyl acetate extract (82%), as for
the other two extracts were not able to determine the activity because the extract is not completely
solubilized in the system. Phytochemical screening of methanolic extract showed flavonoids
principally. Conclusions: Ethanol extract was the most powerful, with 91.48% of inhibition,
phytochemical screening showed flavonoids, this compounds are responsible of antioxidant
activity of the extract, methanol and water extracts was not possible to determine the percentage
of antioxidant capacity due to the turbidity of the sample, making it necessary to use other

Neonatal administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG) to mice causes neurotoxicity of the
Central Nervous System (CNS) resulting in endocrine, metabolic and behavioral

because it induced catecholamine released. The aim of the present study was study the
effect of neonatal treatment (male mice of the CFW strain) with MSG (2 mg/g sc on first and
nd
th
th
th
2 days after birth, followed by 4 mg/g on days 3 , 4 and 5 ) on the amphetamine (2.5 to
15 mg/kg ip) induced locomotor activity (LA), six months later MSG treatment. The control
group was vehicle-treated only (saline injections). The LA was registered in a electronic
system (Biological Research Apparatus, Activity Cage, UGO BASILE, Italy), for 60 min. The
MSG treatment significantly (p< 0.05) decrease the susceptibility to the acutely administered
amphetamina, a dose-dependent form, when compared either to the control group. The
decreased susceptibility to the stimulant effects of amphetamine may occur as a
consequence of changes in neural excitability, down regulation of dopamine-receptors,
synthesis inhibition of catecholamines,
or might be related to pharmacokinetics
modifications, induced by neonatal treatment with MSG.

Homoeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium process adjustable to the age of organisms. When
the cardiovascular system is disrupted, this is mismatched. Which could be partially or totally
attenuated, depending on age and life style. It is proposed that exercise could reduce
cardiovascular risk. The aim of the present work was to study the effect of treadmill training
on systolic pressure (SP), heart rate (HR) and ventricular hypertrophy (VH) in young and old
male mice with heart injury induced by isoproterenol (ISO). Four groups of each age were
considered (n=6): sedentary/SS (saline solution), sedentary/ISO (7 daily ISO administrations,
5Вµg/g/d, s.c), exercised/SS (1h/day, 5days/wk, 5wk), exercised/ISO. ISO was administered
24h after last exercise session. SP and HR were measured weekly by the tail-cuff method.
Ventricular weight/body weight ratio was calculated as criteria of ventricular hypertrophy.
Young sedentary showed higher variation ranges on SP (10.3В±1%) and HR (23.5В±2%)
compared to young exercised. ISO treatment decreased SP (18.96В±1%) and HR (5.56В±1%)
in sedentary young. Old sedentary and exercised showed no significant differences on the
variation ranges on SP nor HR. ISO decreased SP (16.25В±1%) in sedentary old and HR
(16.03В±1%) in exercised old. Hypertrophy was detected in exercised/SS (10.1В±1 and
10.5+1%), sedentary/ISO (15.7В±1% and 22.3+2%) and exercised/ISO (19.3В±2 and 7+2%)
young and old respectively. Our results suggest that exercise had an stabilizer effect on HR
and/or SP depending on the age, since this was observed in young but not in adult mice
(HR), while SP was stabilized in both. Moreover, this suggest that arterial pressure
stabilization by exercise could protect from adverse effects of a heart injury independently of
the age. While the hypertrophy caused by heart injury could be accentuated in exercised
young and attenuated in exercised old organisms. The effects of training and heart injury on
cardiovascular system are age differentially adjusted.

Background: Psychiatric diseases have become a public health problem owing to their
increased prevalence. An option for their treatment is psychoactive medications, which are
associated with multiple adverse effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the
pharmacoepidemiology of psychoactive medication and the prevalence of psychiatric disease
in adult patients seen at the Psychiatry Department at Durango General Hospital.
Methods: Clinical histories of the patients were reviewed for patients over 18 years of age
that were seen at the outpatient clinic of the Psychiatry Department at Durango General
Hospital that required psychoactive medication. The study was conducted between January
2009 and February 2010. Results: The most commonly diagnosed conditions were the
neurotic disorders, stress related disorders, and somatization disorders (42.9%), with the
most common sub-classification being major depression with anxiety (26.3%). Seventy six
percent of patients received more than one medication for their treatment. The most
commonly prescribed medications were the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, with
Fluoxetine being the most prescribed medication (42.2%). Anxiolytics were the second most
prescribed group, with Clonazepam being the most prescribed medication within this group
(67.8% of patients).Conclusions: Contrasting with the clinical practice guidelines, in which
single drug therapy is recommended for most of the psychiatric diseases, only 23.24% of the
patients received single drug therapy. The age group with most prescriptions was between
30 and 59 years of age.

Hypertension is a common condition that may affect most people who live into old age.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney
disease; it can also unnoticeably damage the heart, vessels, brain, and kidneys if not treated.
Some medicaments can control it. Diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors and calcium
channel blockers. But they have side effects. In the laboratory of Dr. MartГ­nez they developed
new compound synthesized from Changrolin and prove to have very good antihypertensive
results. Two of these compounds (one with morpholinic structure and the other with
tiomorpholinic structure) were used on glucose uptake of cardiomyocytes from hypertensive
rats to characterize its heart protection properties. Sodium, a major component of salt, can
raise blood pressure by causing the body to retain fluid, which leads to a greater burden on
the heart. Increasing glucose uptake is a way of protecting the heart from hypoxic events and
it is promoted by the glucose transporters (Gluts). We raised the blood pressure in these
animals by administrating a high salt diet and observe that hypertension does not permit the
metabolic switch that would protect the cardiac cells during hypoxia. These compounds have
successfully lowered the blood pressure and improved the metabolic state of cardiomyocytes
from hypertensive animals as well as regulating the function of the glucose transporters.

Topiramate (TPM), a sulfate-substituted monosaccharide, is a novel compound that has a
broad spectrum of antiepileptic activity in experimental and clinic studies. The mechanisms
that likely account for the anticonvulsant activity of TPM include a negative modulatory effect
on the a-amino-3-hydroxy-5- methyl-4-isoxazol propionic acid (AMPA)/kainate (KA) subtype
of glutamate receptors, a positive modulatory effect on g-aminobutyric acid (GABAA)
receptors, a use- and time-dependent blockade of voltage-activated Na-channels, a negative
2+
modulatory effect on a neuronal L-type highvoltage- activated Ca -channel (L-type HVACC),
and an inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase isozymes. Epilepsy is one of the most
common neurological disorders. Oxidative stress due to generation of mitochondrial ROS is
strongly implicated in seizures in the disorder. It has been demonstrated that TPM modulate
the antioxidant enzyme system and has features that make it attractive as a potential
neuroprotective agent. In this work, We explored, for the first time, the in vitro ROS
scavenger activity of this drug. TPM exhibited trapping activity of superoxide radical-anion
в—Џп‚ѕ
(O2 ), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydroxil radical (HOп‚·) in comparison with several
known radical scavengers. These results indicate that TPM possesses antioxidant in vitro
potential.

The epilepsy is an alteration characterized by excessive electric activity of the brain. The 40%
of the cases of epilepsy are originated in the temporal lobe. The study of this syndrome has
derived in diverse experimental models. One of these is the penicillin G intracerebral
administration, in which has not yet determined whether benzodiazepine mu-opioid and
muscarinic receptors are modified. Aim: To evaluate the in vitro levels of union of the
benzodiazepine, mu-opioid and muscarinic receptors in rat brain areas, during the interictal
period after the repetitive administration of penicillin G into amygdala nucleus. Methodology:
Male Wistar rats (300g) daily were administered with penicillin G (50 UI, 1 пЃ­l) in the
basolateral amygdalae nucleus through a cannula with a bipolar electrode. The control group
was manipulated like before group and saline solution (1 пЃ­l) was administered. The
electrographic recordings were realized before and after injection. The animals were
sacrificed 24 h after last administration and the brains were processed with in vitro
autoradiography studies and benzodiacepine, mu-opioid and muscarinic receptors were
evaluated in different brain areas. Results: The epileptic focus (basolateral amigdalae
nucleus) was confirmed through an electrographic recording and was associated with
behavioural changes. In the autoradiography studies in epileptic focus a significant
decrement (p<<0.05) of benzodiazepine (59%), mu-opioid (39%) and muscarinic (41%)
receptors were found during interictal period. However, the results in other brain areas are
different. Conclusion: The benzodiazepine, mu-opioid and muscarinic receptors are involved
in the seizures induced by intraamygdaline administration of penicillin G in rat.

Human temporal lobe epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease. The study of this pathology
has derived in diverse experimental models, between them, the seizures induced by
intraamygdaline administration of penicillin G. However, the basic neurochemical
mechanisms those underlying these convulsions are unknown. For this reason, we evaluated
the in vivo extracellular levels of alanine, aspartate, glycine, glutamine, glutamate and taurine
in the amygdalae epileptic focus, after the intracerebral repetitive administration of penicillin
G. Methodology: Daily the male rats (Wistar, 300-350 g) of experimental group were
administered with penicillin G (50 UI, 1 пЃ­l) in the basolateral amygdalae nucleus through a
cannula with a bipolar electrode. The control group was manipulated like before group and
saline solution (1 пЃ­l) was administered. The electrographic recordings of the ipsilateral and
contralateral amygdalae were realized before and after injection. In the 7th day (last day of
administration) extracellular levels of neurotransmitters were evaluated in the epileptic focus
through microdialysis studies. Results: The epileptic focus (basolateral amigdalae nucleus)
was confirmed through an electrographic recording. The experimental group showed that the
extracellular levels of alanine (22%), glutamate (27%), glycine (22%) and taurine (18%) in the
epileptic focus were decreased, whereas glutamine (13%) showed an increase. Aspartate
had no change. Conclusion: Our results suggesting that the excitatory and inhibitory
neurotransmitters are released during the seizures induced by intraamygdaline administration
of penicillin G similarly to interictal changes that are observed in the human epileptic focus.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has been considered a public health problem, this based on the
prevalence has been increasing until today. Its importance lies not only hyperglycemia, but
in its consequences, increasing the risk of death from heart disease, cerebrovascular disease
and renal failure, among others. Since in type II diabetes has shown the presence of
oxidative stress, is essential to study its relationship to some indicator that
constitutes the most representative measurement of blood glucose: glycated hemoglobin.
Besides this, research on the abatement of oxidative stress represents a new fitomedication
alternative adjunct in the management of DM. In the present study we
evaluated the effect of Rosmarinus officinalis on oxidative changes and levels of Hb-A1, in
a DM streptozotocin-induced model (65 mg/kg, dissolved in 0.01 M citrate buffer pH 4.5),
and pre-dosing of 230 mg/kg of nicotinamide in 0.9% saline,both via IP. We measured fasting
glucose, Hb-A1 and oxidative stress markers among others, in the absence and presence
of R. officinalis to evaluate their antioxidant activity in the model. The results showed a
gradual increase in blood pressure, similar to the increase in blood glucose levels (average
levels above 600 mg / dL) and Hb-A1. Related to this, lipoperoxidation increased
significantly, which was prevented when the animals received the dose of extract of
R. officinalis, which had an antioxidant and partial metabolic control. This effect showed a
modest decline in blood pressure and some metabolic disorders. The use of antioxidants as
an alternative therapy for diabetes mellitus appears to be promising. Project funded by SEPPIFOP 2002-33-04 and Fondo Sectorial SEP-CONACYT, Ciencia BГЎsica, CB-2008-0-105986

Mexico counts with the Erythrina Coralloides whose components contain certain
concentration of alkaloids which have poisonous properties and can induce paralysis
disorders in the motor nerves either by its oral ingestion or by its intravenous administration,
in phytotherapy. In the present research, the acid and alkaline extraction of its flower and
seed had been made, evaluating the composition of the extracts by gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry and their toxicity under the FEUM criterion by systemic
MGA-DM 3083 injection with CD1 Mouse strains. The mixture obtained contains importance
as an agonist: therabaine, oripavine, erysodine whose concentration values are estimated in
abundance by the chromatogram obtained. The results shows that the seed is the part which
contains a higher concentration of alkaloids followed by the corolla, and finally by the cup.
The more efficient extractions were obtained in the acidic compounds, which could be used
as precursors of more potent substances to treat pain, like morphine, by other simplified
routes. The LD50 obtained is 3.99 mg/ 0.3 mL in mice by intravenous administration. The
symptoms presented in the study group were paralysis of tail, hind limp prostration,
convulsions, spasms and respiratory depression with hypothermia. At concentration of
266.38 mg/ml, the instantaneous death occurs.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the changes of cyclooxygenase involvement in the
contractile response to phenylephrine in the thoracic and abdominal aorta of prepubertal
young and old rats. During development there are changes in the activity of some enzymatic
pathways, so particular in this work we analyze the change in the involvement of
cyclooxygenase in the contractile effect of phenylephrine with age. Cyclooxygenase is
significantly involved in the release of prostanoids that regulate the effect of various agonists
as in the case of phenylephrine, but not known that how this enzyme is involved during the
development of the rat cardiovascular level. In this experimental model we used male rats of
6, 16 weeks and 1 year of age. Rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital (50 mg / kg), after
that we proceeded to obtain the thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta. The aortic rings were
placed in an isolated organ system which keeps the tissue in physiological Krebs solution at
a temperature of 37 В° C and bubbled with carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2). Then we
proceeded to make concentration response curves to phenylephrine (10-9 to 10-5M) in the
presence and absence of indomethacin (COX antagonist). Results showed differences in
participation of this enzyme in the contractile response to phenylephrine age-dependent rat

The lack of delta sarcoglican is associated with structural and physiological changes in
vascular smooth muscle and skeleton muscle, it has been implicated in limb girdle muscular
dystrophy and cardiomyopathy .Its has been shown in important way, that the relation
between endothelia dysfunction and cardiovascular disease, however it has not related with
vascular dysfunction associated to limb girdle muscular dystrophy and cardiopathy, in order
to analyze the participation of the nitric oxide and prostacyclin on this experimental model of
delta-sarcoglican null mice.In this protocol we use female mice Knock-out and wild type from
5 months old, it were anesthetized with pentobarbital (50 mg/kg IP) and heparine (50 UI),
after that we proceeded to dissect the aorta and heart. Both the aorta and heart were placed
in an isolated organ system, which keeps krebs solution, and bubbled with carbogen (95%
O2 and 5% CO2). Finally we proceeded to make curves concentration response to

acetilcoline (10 - 10 )and sodium nitroprusiate (10 - 10 ).We obtain differences in the
coronary pressure and aorta relaxation with acethilcoline between Knock-out and wild type
mice, in other hand the relaxation to sodium nitroprusiate not show differences in the
thoracic aorta between knock-out and wild type mice, unlike we have differences in the
coronary pressure with sodium nitropusiate.Our results suggest changes in the relaxation
independent of endothelium in artery coronary but not in thoracic aorta, although both
vessels show differences in the relaxation dependent of endothelium.

Hypertension targets small and large arteries as well as organs, such as heart and kidney.
The effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril on angiotensin II
(Ang II) AT1 receptor expression, and Ang II-induced contraction was assessed in isolated
kidneys from pre-hypertensive and adult spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats. Five weeksold SHR and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats were treated with captopril at 30 mg/kg/day in drinking
water for 2 or 14 weeks. Captopril therapy did not modify systolic blood pressure in WKY rats
and avoided its increase as SHR aged. Interestingly, captopril increased Ang II-induced
pressor response in isolated kidney of SHR rats after 2 weeks treatment; whereas it
diminished basal perfusion pressure in SHR rats 14 weeks after, and drastically reduced Ang
II-elicited pressor response. Captopril therapy did not modify pD 2 values (≈ 6.0) for Ang II at 2
and 14 weeks in all rat groups. AT 1 receptor relative abundance was similar between WKY
and SHR at both ages. The ACEi diminished AT 1 receptors in SHR kidney cortex (P < 0.05)
after 2 weeks, and increased it at longer time; while the agent did not modify AT1 receptor in
kidney medulla in none of the rat groups. Data indicate that captopril influences both
expression and function of AT 1 receptors in kidney of pre-hypertensive and adult SHR rats,
probably avoiding AT1 receptor expression by blockade of angiotensin II synthesis.

The aim of the present study was to determine the prescribing practice for clozapine as well
as the plasma levels of clozapine and its main metabolite norclozapine in Mexican patients. A
prospective study was performed in 69 in and out psychotic patients taking clozapine. Blood
samples were taken at steady state. Plasma concentrations of clozapine and norclozapine
were determined by HPLC. Results showed that the mean daily dose administered was 250
mg/day. Demographic variables as weight, gender and age were not significant. Plasma
levels showed a large interindividual variability and were significant higher in patients under
treatment with fluoxetine. Mean plasma levels were 411.3 + 328.12 ng/mL, for clozapine and
172.0 + 129.9 ng/mL for norclozapine. When data were compared with those reported in
other populations, it was found that although the dose was lower than that reported in
Caucasians, the plasma levels were similar. As a result, the predictive models for the
estimation of clozapine concentration in Caucasians were not appropriate for its application in
Mexican patients. The findings suggest ethnic differences in the ratio dose/plasma levels of
clozapine in Mexican patients. Further studies are required to expand the observations.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder that is characterized by recurrent seizures that affects 1% of the
population worldwide. Despite the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) available, at present 30% of
patients with epilepsy continue to have seizures and, even among those considered
controlled many unpleasant side effects are still endured. There is clearly a need for more
and better AEDs. The compound DL-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpentanamide (DL-HEPP) protects
mice and rats against seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), maximal electroshock
(MES), bicuculline, 4-aminopyridine, thiosemicarbazide, hippocampal kindling, gammaaminobutyric acid withdrawal syndrome and against the focal spike activity in the genetic
absence epilepsy rats of the Strasbourg model. However, the differences in biological activity
between the enantiomers of DL-HEPP have not been studied. In this work we report the
resolution of the compound DL-HEPP and the anticonvulsant evaluation and neurotoxicity of
its enantiomers. The enantiomers of DL-HEPP were prepared by resolving the (-)-brucine
and (-)-1-phenylethylamine salts of the acids. The optically active acids were then esterified
with diazomethane and reacted with ammonia to give (+) HEPP and (-) HEPP. Optical purity
of the amides was greater than 99 % enantiomeric excess determined by chiral HPLC.
Pharmacologically, DL-HEPP and its enantiomers have a similar significant anticonvulsant
activity against PTZ induced seizures in mice, but in the MES test, the anticonvulsant activity
of DL-HEPP and its enantiomers was different. In the rotarod ataxia test the neurotoxicity of
DL-HEPP and its enantiomers was similar, but a variation in time between the enantiomers
was found with the anticonvulsant activity in the PTZ model. Phenobarbital was used as the
reference drug.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting around 0.5% of the
worldwide population. In Mexico the incidence is calculated around 15 persons per 1000.
Approximately 70 to 80% of the patients with epilepsy are successfully treated with present
antiepileptic drugs (AED), however 20 to 30% of epileptics are refractory to antiepileptics,
hence the need to develop new AED. The molecule DL-3-hydroxy-3-ethyl-3-phenyl
propionamide (DL-HEPP) is an anticonvulsant showing a broad spectrum of activity.
Incorporation of hydrophobic groups in the phenyl ring of DL-HEPP increased its
anticonvulsant activity. Therefore, a hydrophobic group (CF 3) has been introduced in the
phenyl ring of DL-HEPB to give fluorobencenamide DL-CF3-HEPB. This compound was
prepared using a Stobbe condensation between 3’-trifluoromethyl propiophenone and diethyl
succinate to give the hemiesters, which were treated with hydrobromic acid to produce DL-5ethyl-5-(3’-trifluoromethylphenyl) butyrolactone. The lactone was treated with aqueous
1
13
ammonia to give DL-CF3-HEPB, which was characterized through H-NMR , C-NMR and IR
spectroscopy. The results obtained confirmed the structure proposed. The anticonvulsant
activity was determined using pentylenetetrazol (80 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal (i.p.) in male
Swiss-Webster mice. The effective doses 50 obtained via i.p. for DL-CF3-HEPB, its nonhalogenated analogue (DL-HEPB) and phenobarbital were 10, 63 and 8 mg/kg respectively.
In conclusion the inclusion of the trifluoromethyl group in the phenyl ring of DL-HEPB
increased its antoconvulsant activity.

Midazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine commonly used to induce anaesthesia or
sedation in children. In Mexico, a commercial oral pediatric formulation of midazolam is not
available yet and it is usually administered by mixing the parenteral solution with apple juice;
this formulation has the disadvantage of having a bitter and unpleasant flavour. In the present
work, we developed and validated an HPLC method to quantify midazolam in a new white
chocolate formulation. The stability of this formulation was evaluated at different storage
conditions and a preliminary assay of relative bioavailability was carried out in healthy

volunteers. The method of quantification was linear in the range of 5 to 60 Вµg mL .The
midazolam amount in the formulation remained stable for 90 days at 4 and 40В°C (in the dark)
while at 25В°C was stable only for 14 days (exposed to light). The relative bioavailability assay
suggests that our preparation of midazolam in white chocolate reaches plasma levels and
induces pharmacologic effects compared to those induced by the apple juice formulation.
This new white chocolate formulation masks the unpleasing flavour and has a more attractive
presentation to the paediatric patient, which may be useful for children sedation and to ease
its management by health carers.

Thalamic Reticular nucleus (TRn) has been involved in regulation of afferents to thalamiccortical loops participating in attention process. TRn receives dopaminergic innervation,
shared with striatum and globus pallidus, from substantia nigra compacta (Anaya-Martinez et
al, 2009), and we have reported an anxiolytic effect induced by bilateral 6-OHDA lesion of
TRn (Picazo et al, 2009). This effect was assigned to alterations on detection of stimuli need
it to elicit anxiety responses. If this is true other behavioral aspects interrelated to anxiety as
memory process could be affected by this lesion. Because the inter-hemis-pheric connection
of both TRn, we probed unilateral lesion by local administration of 6-OHDA in a group of male
Wistar rats. Right lesion was confirmed by ipsilateral turning behavior induced by systemic
apomorphine 8 days post-surgery and by microscopic observation of brain slices. Anxiolytic
effect was searched in Elevated Plus Maze test (EPM) and tasks used to explore alterations
in cognitive performance were New Object Recognition test (NOR), 8-Radial Arm and Morris
water mazes (RAM & MWM, respectively). Hemi-lesioned rats compared with sham group
had a lesser percent time in open arms in EPM, in NOR showed a minor ratio of time
exploring the novel object, in RAM the acquisition was slower and in the retention phase they
had more reference errors and in MWM they showed a larger latency to find the platform in
the first assays of acquisition phase. So, unilateral 6-OHDA lesion replied the anxiolytic effect
of bilateral lesion of TRn and besides unrevealed cognitive deficiencies in memory
consolidation.

Human ОІ-adrenoceptors (h-ОІAR) are seven-transmembrane domain proteins. The study of
polymorphisms in the h-ОІ1AR and hОІ2-AR subtypes is an attractive point due to its
association of these polymorphisms with disease or differences in the treatment-response.
Also, some h-ОІAR polymorphisms are shared with the ОІ adrenoceptors of animal species
which have different response to specific ligands comparatively to human (like frog (Xenopus
Laevis) or pig (Sus scrofa) species). The most representative polymorphisms for h-ОІ1AR are
Arg389Gly and Ser49Gly, which are associated a higher prevalence of heart disease than
subjects with wild type h-ОІ1AR. While, representative polymorphisms for h-ОІ2AR are
Asn27Glu and Arg16Gly, which are associated with asthma and response of treatment of this
disease. We built 3-D models of h-ОІAR with/without the above mentioned polymorphisms.
These models were energetically optimized with NAMD 2.6 program. Then, we analyzed the
ligand recognition by docking methods with Autodock4 program. Molecular modeling studies
of polymorphic h-ОІAR showed differences in ligand affinity and recognition mode than its
respective wild type.

CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE-GATED CHANNELS PARTICIPATE ON THE CAPABILITY OF
FERTILIZATION OF MAMMALIAN SPERM Abraham Cisneros and Daniel SГЎnchez.
Cinvestav, Unidad Monterrey, N.L. MГ©xico.
Mammalian sperm, in his transit through the female genital tract, acquire the ability to fertilize
the egg in a process called capacitation. During this event, the intracellular levels of cAMP
and cGMP increase, suggesting that cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels, which have
been identified in mammalian sperm, play a functional role in their physiology. Here we report
an electrophysiological characterization of the effect of cyclic nucleotides on capacitated and
non-capacitated mouse sperm. Using the patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell
configuration, we show that macroscopic ionic currents augment with the capacitation in
around a 100%, and that the addition of both, 8Br-cAMP and 8Br-cGMP, also increase the
macroscopic current of non-capacitated sperm. Furthermore, based on dose response
curves, we found differences in the sensitivity to the nucleotides, obtaining a K1/2=100пЃ­M for
8Br-cGMP and K1/2=230пЃ­M for 8Br-cAMP, showing a higher affinity for 8Br-cGMP. On other
hand, although cyclic nucleotides regulated the activity of CNG channels may also be
activating other protein entities, so to clarify the participation of CNG channels, we used Lcis-diltiazem (50пЃ­M), a specific inhibitor of these channels, observing a partial blockade of
more than 30% of inward currents and more than 50% of outward currents, suggesting that
CNG channels are a fundamental part of the signaling pathways that confers the fertilization
capability to mammalian sperm.

The planning of teaching-learning activities and process in Pharmacology could be supported
by knowledge about students characteristics. With the purpose to find out a possible profile
of successful students at Medical School at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico
(campus CU), we studied some academic and personal variables and its short-term and longterm influence over knowledge domain at the end of medical school. Variables studied: 1)
Diagnostic test of high school knowledge at beginning of Medical School, high school
attended before Medical School, 2) Basic knowledge test when starting pharmacology
nd
course, 3) Student achievement in Pharmacology, 4) Assigned group in 2 . Year of Medical
School (when Pharmacology is taken), 5) Medical graduate examination achievement, 6)
Learning and self-regulation strategies explored through the inventory ―Estilos de aprendizaje
y orientación motivacional-dimensión frecuencia‖ (Castañeda,1995) at first month of second
year. The convenience sample was composed by 68 students: 34 men and 34 women,
selected from five groups. Results showed: 1. Significative differences in the diagnostic test
at beginning of Medical School in regard to attended high school, 2. Significative differences
in scholar achievement of Pharmacology depending on group where students belong by
registration (groups are chosen by students depending on their average
grades).3.Significative differences in scholar achievement of Pharmacology depending on the
opinion of students about studying materials.4. Correlation between Pharmacology grades
and grades in medical graduate examination at expected time of graduation (terminal
efficiency).5. Other Learning and self-regulation strategies that were analysed, did not show
differences on achievement results in Pharmacology, nor on medical graduate examination.

The aim of the present study was to inhibiting the fertilizing capacity of the spermatozoa
mouse using a oxamate derivative, the N-butyl oxamate, a selective inhibitor of lactate
dehydrogenase-C4 (LDH-C4), that is a specific isoenzyme from testes and spermatozoa. We
used a prodrug of N-butyl oxamate, which was the ethyl ester of N-butyl oxamate. We
performed assays on motility, viability and acrosome reaction in mice spermatozoa in
absence and presence of different concentrations of the ethyl ester of the N-butyl oxamate.
We found that this prodrug inhibited all the parameters before mentioned, and in the
screening of the results, we found a concentration-dependent effect. Furthermore, on
spermatozoa extracts, we measured the activity of LDH-C4 and another glycolytic enzymes,
the hexokinase 1-S (HK1-S) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDS) in
presence and absence of different concentrations of the inhibitor to demonstrate the selective
effect to LDH-C4. We obtained the concentration that inhibit the 50% of the activity (IC 50) and
it was 0.0222 mM for LDH-C4, and 161.98 and 0.6601 mM for the HK1-S and GAPDS
respectively. We determined the LD50 that it was of 693.30 mg/kg, this result clasifies the
ethyl ester of the N-butyl oxamate as a few toxic substance. We assayed the effect of the
inhibitor in vivo and we found that this inhibitor diminished the motility of mice spermatozoa,
without affecting the activity of the LDH-C4. Finally, because all our results, we can suggest
the ethyl ester of the N-butyl oxamate can be a target for future studies as a possible male
specific contraceptive.

Glutamate (Glu), most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in central nervous system,
participates in natural (feeding, thirst, sex) and pathologic (addiction and chronic drug abuse)
behaviors by means of ionotropic (NMDA, AMPA and Kainate types) and metabotropic
glutamatergic (mGluRs) receptors. Glu has been associated with neuroplastic changes, as a
consecuence of abuse and relapse to consumption of psychostimulants (cocaine,
amphetamine). Chronic drug abuse, produces increasing alterations of dopaminergic and
glutamatergic neurotransmission.Pathologic behaviors have been most frequently
investigated, by its impact in the health. However, there is not the same interest to study the
natural behaviors. So, we decided analized the role of Glu in a natural motivated behavior. To
this purpose, we evaluated the effect of the monosodium salt of glutamate, compared to
ketamine hydrochloride (non competitive glutamatergic NMDA receptor antagonist), in a
model of natural motivated behavior, using a female mice, as a incentive stimuli. Twenty male
mice (3 independent groups, 3 animals/group and 1, control, saline solution, 0.9%), 20 to 25
g, CD1, were systemically administered (i.p.) with L-glutamic acid monosodium salt
monohydrate at 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg, doses and ketamine at 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 mg/kg,
subanesthetics doses. Time exhausted to find the incentive sitmuli, was measured when the
animals were individually put into a radial maze (six arms). This procedure was similar for
both treatments, in all of the three experimental tests, and a previous first test, as an indicator
of average time (with no drug), was included. Latency was varied at 5, 15 and 30 minutes,
each other test, respectively. Not was obtained any time-differences induced by two
treatments probed; nevertheless, it was observed a behavioral change evidenced as an
ongoing aggressive fighter of the animals, mainly in the L-glutamate acid monosodium salt,
group, and also, at 15 mg/kg dose of ketamine-treated animals.

Sexual exhaustion is a condition of prolonged sexual behavior inhibition resulting from ad
libitum copulation of a male with a single receptive female. Twenty-four hours after the
satiation procedure, 2/3 of the population of sexually exhausted animals does not show
sexual activity and 1/3 copulates to ejaculation, after which, copulation is not resumed.
Gutamatergic neurotransmission has a facilitative role in sexual behavior expression of
sexually experienced male rats. Sexually exhausted male rats differ in several behavioral
aspects when compared to sexually experienced, non exhausted animals. Thus, the sexual
behavior facilitative effect of electrically stimulating the medial preoptic area, ventral
tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus accumbens is lost in sexually satiated rats. Additionally,
they show a generalized hypersensitivity to drugs when compared to non exhausted males.
These evidences suggest the occurrence of neuroplastic changes resulting from repeated
brain activation during ad libitum copulation. epeated stimulation by chronic drug abuse,
promotes neuroadaptations in the mesolimbic system, that include an enhancement of
glutamatergic neurotransmission evidenced the blockade of drug abuse reinstatement by
glutamatergic antagonists. We hypothesized that glutamatergic receptor antagonists could
reverse the sexual inhibition of satiated animals. To this aim, we tested the glutamatergic
NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine, the AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist, 6-cyan-7nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX), and the mGluR5 glutamatergic receptor antagonist, 6methy-2-phenyl-ethynilpiridine (MPEP), administered both systemically (i.p.) or directly into
the VTA, origin of the mesolimbic system. Systemic administration of all glutamatergic
antagonists facilitated sexual behavior expression in satiated rats, reversing sexual
exhaustion at specific dose levels. When intra-VTA injected, only the AMPA/kainate receptor
antagonist, CNQX, reversed the sexual behavior inhibition of exhausted animals at dose of 1
Вµg/rat. Thus, glutamate seems to play opposite roles in the regulation of sexual behavior
expression of sexually satiated and sexually experienced male rats.

Introduction: The osteoporosis causes a great impact on the Mexican population due to it’s
health and economic implications. The osteoporosis keeps a relatively high prevalence in
direct relationship with the age. Risk factors that influence the osteoporosis are smoking,
obesity, sedentary and oxidative stress. Recent studies have shown that both the oxidative
stress plays an important role in the bone loss, and also, that the antiosteoporotic drugs can
decrease the oxidative stress levels in postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis. The
objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of nitric oxide as a marker of
oxidative stress and its relationship with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.
Methods: Forty-three postmenopausal women were recruited with an age range between 40
to 65 years old in postmenopausal established early stage and diagnosis of
osteopenia/osteoporosis. All women were treated with strontium ranelate, 2 g/day orally;
thereafter DEXA bone densitometry and nitric oxide determinations were carried out to 3.6
and 12 months of treatment. Results: We found significant decrease in the nitric oxide
concentrations between control group and patients treated with strontium ranelate at 12
months, confirmed by bone densitometry

The lymphocyte growth factor Interleukin 2 (IL-2) has proven to be effective in the therapy
against human tumors by activating the immune system, in particular the cytolytic Tlymphocytes (CTLs) and killer cells. Nevertheless, the systemic delivery of IL-2 has been
limited by its high toxicity. In this respect nanoparticles constitute an interesting tool for in situ
IL-2 delivery. Our work group has shown that several cervical cancer cells express, like
lymphocytes, the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) on their membranes. Recently we had reported the
construction of a nanocarrier structure that expresses non-covalently bound IL-2 on its
external surface that renders the particle susceptible to be attached to IL-2R-bearing cells.
Our hypothesis for antitumor activity resides in the fact that the IL-2 bearing nanocarrier could
promote close proximity of lymphocytes and tumor cells by the fact that both posses the IL2R. Then if the close proximity of tumor cells with lymphocytes mediated by our nanoparticles
could favor the recognition of a putative tumor antigen by the IL-2 activated lymphocytes a
cytolytic activity could be induced. Our results demonstrated that in fact these nanoparticles
did bind to cervical cancer cells that express the IL-2R, making them in turn IL-2 presenters
that attracted blood lymphocytes and induced tumor cell lysis. Thus we can speculate that
the IL-2 bearing nanocarrier attached to the IL-2R on the tumor cell and then before it was
endocytized attracted lymphocytes, also through their IL-2R, acting as a bridge between
tumor cells and lymphocytes that favored the recognition of tumor antigens and thus induced
the antitumor response obtained. (Grant PAPIIT 220108)

Introduction: It has been reported that S1P constricted renal and mesenteric microvessels in
vitro and reduced renal and mesenteric blood flow in vivo, which can also alter tubular
function. Based on these finding, we investigated the identity of the receptor subtype that
mediates renal vasoconstriction in isolated perfused kidneys of diabetic rats. Methods: Renal
vascular tone was evaluated in the isolated perfused kidneys of control and diabetic rats. To
determine the renal vascular response to S1P and the contribution of the S1P 1, S1P2 and
S1P3 receptors, we determined the dose response (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.5 ng) to S1P
before and after of the administration of VPC23019, JTE-013 or CAY10444 (antagonist of
S1P1/3 , S1P2 ,S1P3 receptor respectively). Results: A bolus injection of S1P produced dosedependent renal vasoconstriction in the isolated perfused kidneys of control and diabetic rats,
but the vasoconstriction was greater in the kidneys of diabetic rats compared with the kidneys
of control rats (18.67В±1.3, 30В±4.1, 58В±7.7, 91В±9.1, 120В± 8, 144В±0.1 vs 4В± 0.1, 6.400В±0.9,
13.60В± 2.0, 32В± 4.6, 49.33В±2.6, 66 В±2 mm Hg). The S1P-induced renal vasoconstriction was
only inhibited by JTE-013 in both experimental groups. These results demonstrate that, in the
isolated perfused kidneys of diabetic rats, the S1P induced renal vasoconstriction through the
S1P2 receptor. In addition, we observed increased expression of the S1P 2 receptor at the
mRNA and protein levels in the kidneys of diabetic rats compared with those of controls
Conclusion: In the present study, we have shown that S1P induces renal vasoconstriction
through the S1P2 receptor and that antagonists of this receptor may have potential as drugs
to control diabetes-induced vascular complications. Acknowledgment: This project was

Recent studies have found that (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) has a crucial role in the
development and progression of renal damage. However, there is very few information about
the expression of this receptor in models of chronic kidney disease and its expression
patterns when drugs for hypertension are used.. The aim of this study was to determinate the
expression levels of (P)RR, and other RAS molecules in the remaining kidney of subtotally
(5/6) nephrectomized rats (5/6 NFX) treated with anti-hypertensive drugs. Male Wistar rats
two months old, were randomly assigned to the following groups: sham operated n=5, 5/6
NFX rats n=5, 5/6 NFX rats administrated with captopril (50 mg/Kg/day) (NFX+captopril) n=5,
5/6 NFX rats administrated with losartan (10 mg/Kg/day) (NFX+losartan) n=5. The drugs
were oral administrated and animals were followed-up for 60 days. Protein in 24-h urine was
measured at weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 after surgery. At day 60 systolic blood pressure was
assessed by aorta cannulation, rats were sacrificed to obtain: plasma for the determination of
Ang II and Ang 1-7, and renal tissue for the evaluation of expression levels by quantitative
PCR. Blood pressure was significantly increased in the NFX group compared with the other
groups (199.77 В±9.62 p < 0.01). Levels of Ang II (1.0729 В±0.2381 pmol/mL p<0.01) and Ang
1-7 (4.009 В±2.399 pmol/mL p=0.015) change significantly in the NFX group compare with the
other groups. (P)RR expression level were significantly increased in remnant Kidney of the
NFX group (1.68-fold p=0.05) compared with the sham operated. In the NFX+captopril and
the NFX+losartan groups the (P)RR expression levels were higher (8.3-fold and 4.4-fold
respectively p=0.05).

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is conceived as an episode of ischemia, necrosis and/or
myocyte death. In this condition are induced important changes on electrocardiogram (EKG),
blood pressure (BP), another phenomenon immediately after AMI, is the reperfusion, which
generates oxidative stress, In this work we studied, comparatively in dog and rabbit, the
changes occurred during experimental AMI-reperfusion and the effect of Rosmarinus
officinalis extract in order to know if the antioxidative action can modify the alterations postIAM. AMI was induced in dogs. At open chest, we proceeded to occlude the left coronary
artery; ischemia was maintained for 90 min and after released artery occlusion, reperfusion
was 120 min more. New Zealand rabbits, were exposed to the same procedure, but, both
coronary occlusion and reperfusion were kept by 35 min; EKG and BP were obtained. During
AMI, in dog, EKG showed elevation of the P wave, ST-segment depression and ventricular
extrasystoles. Five dogs died by ventricular fibrillation. During reperfusion was also present
A-V dissociation and ventricular tachycardia. Systolic and diastolic pressures suffered a fall of
about 50% compared to control, without significant alteration of heart rate (HR). In the rabbit
model, were prolonged the PR-interval, and the QRS and QT segments by 37%, 73% and
31% respectively. Changes occurred in ST segment and drop in systolic and diastolic
pressures during reperfusion. In experimental AMI, I.P. administration of Rosmarinus
officinalis extract (antioxidant), at the beginning of reperfusion, avoids the presence of
cardiac rhythm disorders. Experimental models of acute myocardial infarction in dogs and
rabbits are suitable for the study of compounds that could to reverse or prevent
cardiovascular alterations in the course of the disease. Project funded by Fondo Sectorial

Celecoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor with potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic
properties. The use of this drug has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammatory and
neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve injury in rats. On the other hand, CCK antagonist
has been reported produce peripheral antinociception by itself. The objective of this study
was evaluated the effect of celecoxib and a non-selective CCK antagonist in diabetic rats.
Experiments were performed on male Wistar rats of body weight range 280–320 g. Diabetes
was induced following a streptozotocin injection (60 mg/kg, i.p.). Diabetes was confirmed 3
days after injection by measurement of tail vein blood glucose levels with the Accu-Check
blood glucose monitoring system. The paw withdrawal threshold was determined by the updown method of Dixon and Chaplan et al. Allodynia was considered to be present when paw
withdrawal thresholds were 4 g. Diabetic rats not demonstrating allodynia were not further
studied. Four weeks after diabetes induction we evaluated a dose-response curve for
intraperitoneal administration of celecoxib (0.3, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg) and proglumide (20, 40, 60,
180 mg/kg), respectively. This drugs reduced increased the withdrawal threshold. Results
suggest that a selective COX-2 inhibitor and CCK antagonist combination could reduce
allodynia in diabetic neuropathy. Supported by PROMEP, grant UJAT-PTC-064

In natural medicine Morinda citrifolia (noni) is used for the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus type
2 (DM2), hyperglycemia and kidney damage associated or not to DM2. The fruit and infusion
of the leaves of the plant have been used by their hypoglycemic properties. The purpose of
this study is to determine the effect of the infusion of the leaves of M. citrifolia on the blood
level of glucose in hyperglycemic rats. Infusion of the plant was prepared (4 g/l) as a
treatment for clinical picture of DM, using 13 Wistar rats distributed in three groups; a)
healthy, b) diabetics without treatment, c) diabetics treated with the infusion of noni, with 5,
4, 4 rats, respectively. Diabetes was induced with aloxan (120 mg/kg). Determinations of
blood glucose were performed every week during four weeks; also, glucose and protein in
urine were determined. Intake of food and fluid, body weight, and excretion of urine twice a
week, were measured for three weeks. From second week rats resisted the treatment with
aloxan, they did not presented hyperglycemia, Glucose and protein in urine and their
excretion and consume of water were higher in rats treated with aloxan. Records mention
that aloxan may cause kidney damage that along with the diuretic effect of noni could
increase the renal failure. This is reflected in our results by the amount of urine excreted,
consume of liquid, that were higher in groups treated with noni. It is concluded that the
infusion of leaves of noni has no hypoglycemic effect even in healthy animals and presents a
diuretic effect which can lead to serious complications when kidney damage is present.

continued studies to ensure proper management of the oxidation state present in condition of
chronic hyperglycemia, particularly the evaluation of some treatment with antioxidants such
as those from Rosmarinus officinalis. In this study we used two experimental models of
hyperglycemia in Wistar rats, evaluated for 8 weeks: 1) induced by sucrose (5%) in drinking
water, simulating a pre-DM of hyperglycemia, and 2) streptozotocin (STZ), administered 65
mg/kg, dissolved in 0.01 M citrate buffer pH 4.5 and pre-dosing of 230 mg/kg of nicotinamide
in 0.9% saline, both via IP. We measured metabolic indicators (glucose, insulin, glycosylated
hemoglobin, cholesterol and LDL) and oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation in liver, pancreas,
kidney and heart), as well as monitoring, blood pressure. Our results showed a progressive
increase in basal glucose up to 40% of control, doubling the values of Hb-A1, while the
change in insulin was not significant and increased LDL. Increased lipid peroxidation in all
tissues studied, from week 4 of administration of sucrose. Also blood pressure increased by
about 20%. These observed changes were modulated by the presence of R. officinalis,
particularly by reducing lipid peroxidation, and preventing changes in LDL. In the STZ model,
lipoperoxidation increased mainly in pancreas and kidney, an event that was prevented by
the antioxidant action of R. officinalis. This work emphasizes the importance of using an
herbal antioxidant to prevent oxidative stress and some of its consequences in experimental
DM condition. Project funded by SEP-PIFOP 2002-33-04 and Fondo Sectorial SEPCONACYT, Ciencia BГЎsica, CB-2008-0-105986 * Number 15605 CONACYT Project Fellow.

Due importance to future health care related to basic science, including Biochemistry, a
central and important theme is learning linked with the mechanisms available in production of
energy in the cell. This work analyses the results of learning on issues related to
carbohydrate metabolism and energy production, students who completed the field of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Faculty of Medicine at UNAM during the last 4 school
cycles. This study examines the responses of 4,935 students over the years 2006 to 2010
assessed their knowledge departmental partial exams. Issues that divided the study were
ten: 1.- Structure and digestion of carbohydrates, 2.- Glycolysis, 3.- Pyruvate decarboxylation
4.- Citric acid cycle, 5.- Gluconeogenesis, 6.- Metabolism of glycogen, 7.- Pentose cycle, 8.Regulation, 9.- Bioenergetics and 10.- Free radicals. The database was collected in Excel
and exported to statistical package JMP. Test statistic was a multiple linear regression where
the dependent variable was bioenergetics and independents were the other themes; the level
of association between the variables was measured with the regression ОІ coefficient. The
results indicated that issues influencing the bioenergetics learning were the Citric acid cycle
(ОІ = 0.172) and Glycolysis (ОІ = 0.160) and the least influenced were Pentose cycle (ОІ =
0.058) and Structure and digestion of carbohydrates (ОІ = 0.055). The results noted that
although all topics learning were significant (p < 0.01) for understanding of bioenergetics, it
was concluded that a better understanding of the mechanisms in energy production would be
obtained if the assimilation of the other eight themes were similar to that reported by Citric
acid cycle.

The pain is a subjective sensation. The mechanisms that transmit the nociceptive sensation
are different according to stimulus that causes it. These are some reasons why it is very
difficult remove the pain. The combinations of drugs are a tool very useful to handling of pain.
It has been reported that in analgesics combinations with different mechanisms may produce
a synergistic effect or when analgesics with adjuvant are combined the antinociceptive effect
is potentiated. We have reported that caffeine was able to produce a synergistic effect when
was combined with tramadol. However the mechanisms are unknown. The objective of this
study was determinate the 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors participation in the synergistic effect of
tramadol and caffeine combination. The formalin model was used to determinate combination
antinociceptive effect either with antagonists or without antagonists. Different groups of
animals were administered with tramadol (10 mg/kg), caffeine (3.16 mg/kg) or the
combination of both drugs. Other groups received either ondansetron (34 nmol, i.c.v.) or
ketanserin (34 nmol, i.c.v.) after were administered with tramadol, caffeine or the combination
(tramadol 10 mg/kg + caffeine 3.16 mg/kg). The results showed that ketanserin inhibited
antinociceptive potentiation 66%, while ondansetron inhibited 41%. On the other hand, the
same antagonists were not able to inhibit antinociceptive effect neither tramadol nor caffeine
when they were administered alone. In conclusion, these results suggest that serotoninergic
pathway participate in the antinociceptive synergism induced by co-administration of tramadol
and caffeine, through 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors.

Fluoride is considered an essential trace element, however exposure to more than 1 ppm
cause toxic effects. Fluorosis is the mayor manifestations of chronic poisoning from long-term
exposure and is a serious health exposure in many parts of the world. Biochemical changes
in fluorosis have been reported by many researches. Higher concentrations of fluoride are
known to affect antioxidant defense system; brain and muscles by inhibit some enzymes
associates with energy production and transfer membrane transport, synaptic transmition.
Added to these facts, we are found that exposure of fluoride increase the carrageenaninduced inflammation and mechanical hyperalgesia in rats. For this propose we used rats
that received distilled water for drinking while the others rats received distiller water with 5, 15
and 50 ppm of sodium fluoride from the polypropylene bottles. After 6 months, the animals
were tested by carrageenan-induced inflammation and mechanical hyperalgesia models.
Significantly higher inflammatory and mechanical hyperalgesic responses were observed
proportionally with fluoride concentrations. These mechanical hyperalgesia and inflammation
increases were not reversed with an anti-inflammatory non steroidal drug (diclofenac 100
mg/Kg v.o.). The mechanisms about fluoride increases mechanical hyperalgesia and
inflammation are poorly understood, but, with these results we suggested that fluoride could
be induced an over production of reactive oxygen species, more that a COX enzymatic
effect.

Extemporaneous compounding medicines in Brazil are economically important, but they are
associated with a number of clinical, safety and ethical issues. The safe interchangeability of
generic or reference products by compounding products requires that they prove to be truly
bioequivalent. Currently the bioavailability of several compounding medicines remains
unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of two
extemporaneous capsules formulations of 200-mg carbamazepine. The bioavailability of
compound capsules (purchased from two compounding Pharmacies) as well as reference
В®
product (Tegretol ), were compared through a single-center, open, randomized, single-dose,
2-period crossover, 2-sequences pilot assay, with a 2-week washout interval using 12 healthy
volunteers. Blood sampling was performed during 72-h after dosing. The carbamazepine
showed slow absorption from all products tested, but the maximum plasma concentration
was achieved faster with the compounded capsules. Statistical analysis of the AUC 0-t
suggested that reference and both tested products were bioequivalent. Nevertheless, the
AUC0-в€ћ of both tested drugs was lower than reference due to differences in the final
elimination phase. Although two compounded carbamazepine formulations showed similar
В®
concentration-time profiles to Tegretol , further studies with larger sample size are necessary
to confirm the bioequivalence and interchangeability.

Cyrtocarpa procera stem bark is used in Mexican folk medicine for the treatment of
gastrointestinal diseases. Helicobacter pylori is the major etiological agent of chronic active
gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and is linked to gastric carcinoma. The increasing resistance of
H. pylori to antibiotics demands the search for novel compounds. This work evaluates the in
vitro anti-H. pylori effect of the organic extracts (hexane [H], dichloromethane [D],
dichloromethane:methanol (1:1) [D-M], and methanol [M]) obtained from C. procera stem
bark, against H. pylori ATCC 43504 by the broth dilution method. The pharmacological action
spectrum (determined by the TPA- induced acute ear edema, and ethanol-induced acute
gastric ulcer models), and acute toxicity (Lorke test) of the organic extracts, in CD-1 mice,
were also evaluated. The results showed that H extract (MIC: 7.8 Вµg/mL) showed the highest
inhibitory effect against H. pylori, followed by D, D-M, and M extracts The pharmacological
studies showed that the M, and H extracts possesses significant (p≤0.05) gastroprotective
effect in terms of the length and number of gastric ulcers, with a maximum of gastroprotection
at 300 mg/Kg (86.4% and 82.5% for M and H extract, respectively). The topical application of
H, significantly reduced (p≤0.05) the acute ear edema induced by TPA with a ED 50=2.15
mg/ear. Acute toxicity studies showed that all the extracts were safe, with LD 50> 5000 mg/Kg.
Results confirmed the great medical potential of this plant, as well as its promising use in the
development of an integral treatment of H. pylori related diseases. This work was partially
supported by DGAPA-UNAM (IN 225711-3).

50 % of world population has occasionally headache episodes, being stress and nervous
tension the most common trigger factor. Because of lack of data about epidemiological,
clinical and pharmacological aspects of headache in young adults in Mexico, the aim of this
study was to explore these parameters in a student university population. A questionnaire
was applied during the period of November-December of 2009 in different schools of the
Universidad AutГіnoma de San Luis PotosГ­ with n=292 and 99.99 % confidence level. The
average age was 19.94 В± 2.00 years. 72.6 % of the participants have suffered at least one
headache episode during the last year. The most frequent trigger factors were: stress and
nervous tension (85.62 %), too little sleep (78.08 %), missed meals (73.97 %). The most
frequent therapies were: acetilsalicilic acid (51.08 %), paracetamol (27.42%), ketorolac (5.91
%). These results shows high headache incidence in this young population in San Luis
Potosi, MГ©xico.

ANTIOBESITY EFFECT OF RESVERATROL IN AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF DIETINDUCED OBESITY IN RATS. Escobedo-Moratilla A., Vargas-Morales JM., PГ©rez-Urizar J.
Facultad de Ciencias QuГ­micas, UASLP Mexico
Obesity is a disease that importantly afflicts millions of people in Mexico and in the world.
Resveratrol (RVT) is a dietary supplement with antioxidant properties that are still little
known, but some studies show its effectiveness to treat obesity, diabetes and high blood
pressure, among others. Several therapies for the treatment of obesity are available
(pharmacologic and non pharmacologic), being frequent the prescription of two or more
treatments at the same time, mainly due to the diversity of diseases that accompany and
side-effects produced by the ingestion of drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the
effect of resveratrol on the prevention of the increase in weight in an experimental model of
obesity induced by hypercaloric diet in rats. Groups of 6 animals were fed ad libitum with a
standard diet (C-(-)), hypercaloric diet (C-(+)) or hypercaloric diet + resveratrol 10 mg/kg p.o.
t.i.d. (RSV) during 3 weeks in which follow-up was given to body weight. The weight
difference in rats with hypercaloric diet was 84.83% over the 62.48% of the standard diet,
which represented an increase of 35.8%, enough to consider that the experimental model
applies to test treatments against morbid obesity. Considering the weight gain in C-(+) as the
maximum observed effect (Emax obesity), we calculated the effect antiobesity as the proportion
of not achieved Emax obesity with RSV, which was of 31.09% (p < 0.05). These results suggest
that the consumption of RSV can contribute in the pharmacological treatment of obesity.

The theme of the World Health Day 2011 is based on strategies to control antimicrobial
resistance. This has also been the concern of the World Health Organization (WHO) since
th
2001 and of the World Medical Association in its 48 General Assembly in South Africa in
1999 where the Declaration on Resistance to Antibiotics was made. In Mexico, as well as in
other Latin-American countries, the antimicrobial resistance and auto medication are public
health problems. The objective of this paper is to summarize the legislation that different
institutions have made to rule the prescription of antibiotics in Mexico. COFEPRIS, stands for
ComisiГіn Federal Para la ProtecciГіn contra Riesgos Sanitarios (Federal Commission to
th
Prevent Sanitary Risks) published, on the 27 may 2010, agreements to determine the rules
to sell antibiotics, ratificating the Article 226, IV fraction, of the General Law of Health, stating
that antibiotics must be sold only with the exhibition of the prescription. This agreement is
mandatory since august 25, 2010. The Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud (Health
Consumables Regulation) includes: Article 30: the prescription must contain the name and
presentation of the drug, route of administration, frequency and lenght of the treatment.
Article 31: drugs that appear in the Catalog of Generic Drugs must be prescribed by generic
name and, if desired, by commercial name. Article 32: public institutions must prescribe using
only generic names. Article 33: drugs that have in its tag the note: ―prescription is needed‖
can not be sold without prescription, even though, before 2010, antibiotics had this legend
and were sold without prescription. COFEPRIS established requirements for the drugstores
that are not clear yet, so different drugstores understand them in different ways, making the
acquisition of antibiotics difficult for the patients in Mexico.

The plants of the genus Kalanchoe belong to Crassulace family, comprising 200 species. Of
these plants have reported various biological activities due to the presence of different
secondary metabolites in these species. The objective of this project is to present the natural
juice phytochemical analysis of Kalanchoe gastonis bonnieri (K. gastonis bonnieri) and
Kalanchoe flammea (K. flammea) with immobilizing and agglutinating activity of human
spermatozoa. METHODS: Obtaining the natural juice of the species K. gastonis bonnieri and
K. flammea. We performed in vitro biological activity of these juice (sperm). For identification
of secondary metabolites of these species were different techniques: determination of
polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, triterpenes, terpenoids, glycosides and DPPH
radical scavenging. RESULTS: Although the species K. gastonis bonnieri and K. flammea
belong to the same species concentration and the presence of various secondary
metabolites change. The concentration of polyphenols for K. gastonis bonnieri and K.
flammea was (56 414 mg / g and 57,878 mg / g). In these species, the concentration of
flavonoids was (2825 mg / g and 2,775 mg / g), as well as identification tests showed
increased presence of isoflavones in K. gastonis bonnieri and flavones and flavonols in K.
flammea. There was major concentration of saponins in K. bonnieri gastonis that K.
flammea. In both species was the presence of tannins, triterpenes and glycosides. However,
these plants do not have terpenoids. The radical scavenging activity was major in K.flammea
compared to K.gastonis bonnieri. CONCLUSION: Secondary metabolites (flavonoids) found
in these species conferring the agglutination and immobilizing the sperm and possibly could
have other biological activities as presented in the other species of the same family.

Introduction: acetaminophen (APAP) is one of the most used drugs around the world. Its safety,
efficacy and pharmacokinetics are closely related with normal function of kidney and liver.
However, no information is available regarding the right dose to be used in animals with acute
renal failure (ARF). Method: adult female Wistar rats (200 В± 20 g b.w.) were used and 2 groups
were formed, control group and ARF-group. Acute renal failure was induced with a single dose of
potassium chromate (20 mg/kg, subcutaneous). In urine and blood samples obtained on days 1, 3,
5 and 7, creatinine and sodium concentrations were measured. In urine, proteins and glucose
were also measured and urinary flow calculated. PAH uptake by cortical renal tissue was
determined. A second experiment was carried out, and APAP (15mg/kg/dose) was intraperitoneal
administrated to rats with previous ARF induction and control rats, for 3 days each 12 hours,
beginning on day 2 after ARF induction. Blood was collected from each animal and APAP
concentrations were determined in plasma using a colorimetric method and pharmacokinetic
parameters, elimination half life time (tВЅ), area under the curve (AUC) and clearance (Cl) were
calculated in both ARF and control groups. Results: in ARF, results revealed proximal renal
function altered, increased creatinine serum and decreased glomerular filtration rate. In the APAP
pharmacokinetic parameters a significant increase in tВЅ (from 3.95В±0.29 to 32.12В±0.29 hours) and
AUC (from 5.31±0.39 to 43.18±1.22 mg•min/mL) meanwhile, a significant decrease in clearance
(from 0.55В±0.01 to 0.066В±0.0005mL/min) were observed in ARF rats and control group,
respectively. Conclusion: the acetaminophen pharmacokinetic shows significant modifications in
ARF rats.

Pyrexia or fever is defined as a rise in body temperature, controlled by the hypothalamus.
The systemic response is initiated when an organism is invaded by pathogens that evoke an
internal response mediated by cytokines. Generally Hibiscus calyces are used to make cold
and hot beverages, sweet jams, creams and candy. Also to treat different ailments. Objective:
Evaluate the antipyretic effect of extracts from Hibiscus and correlate them with cytokine
circulating levels. Material and Methods: Male Wistar rats were distributed in 5 treatment
groups: negative (saline), positive (acetaminophen), Hibiscus crude extract, Hibiscus proteins
and Hibiscus pigments. Fever was induced with subcutaneous injections of 20% brewer’s
yeast, 16 hrs later the treatments were administrated orally. The temperatures were
measured at the following times 0, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 min. Then blood was obtained
by hart puncture. The cytokine levels were measured using ELISA kits. Results: The negative
saline group maintained fever. A significant decrease in temperature levels was present with
the rest of the groups. The interleukin 6 (IL-6) showed an increase and it is related with the
decrease observed in the rest of the cytokines measured (IL-1, TNFО±, INFЖґ). Concussion:
The Hibiscus fractions studied exhibit antipyretic activity with modifications in the cytokine
levels.

Nystatine (nys) is an antifungical compount effective against mycetes of Candida species. In
comparison to classical dermal formulations, the nanoemulsions are effective vehicles
systems for transdermal drug delivery, due to its colloidal structure and its high drug loading.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the release of nistatin nanoemulsion as previous step to
the transdermal permeation assay. The nanoemulsion was elaborated with, LabrasolВ®, Plurol
oleiqueВ®, Labrafac lipophileВ®, Propylenglycol as excipients in different proportions.
Compounds were stirring by ultrasounds under cold. The particle size was measured by
Zeta-Sizer, Malvern Instruments. As reference formulation was used MyscostatinВ® cream,
not available in the market at present. Release studies (n=6) were carried out with vertical
diffusion cell of 2.54cm2 and cellulose membrane (MWCO 14 kDa). A mixture of
methanol:dymetilformadime:water (55:15:35 v/v) was used as receptor phase at 32ВєC.
Samples were withdrawn at different time point scheme for 46h and quantified by means a
validated HPLC method. The mobile phase was water:ACN (60:40) with 1% acid acetic at
0.8ml/min flow rate and wave length 305nm, a KromasilВ® C18 (5
used. Retention time of nys was 4.1min. Release amounts of nys from nanoemulsions and
reference formulation were evaluated by non-linear regression by means WinNonLinВ®. Data
shown a faster nys release from the nanoemulsion compared with the cream. Further studies
will be carry out in order to check if the retained amounts of nys in the skin will ensure the
efficacy of the nanoemulsion for the treatment of topical candidiasis.

Visual deficits constitute a major social and financial burden to health systems worldwide.
The World’s Health Organization estimates that 45 million people experience blindness
associated with metabolic, infectious, oncologic, congenital, genetic or accidental conditions.
Given the importance of the visual world for guiding human daily live activities, major efforts
have been made to restore visual abilities in the blind. Unfortunately, most measures aimed
at procuring visual restoration have failed in providing the patient with a functionally efficient
visual system. This problem may be related with the fact that the visual cortex is recruited to
process somatosensory and auditory information in the blind, rendering it inaccessible to the
restored visual inputs. Therefore, the study of the mechanisms and their modulation,
underlying cortical reorganization in the blind, surely will improve our chances of designing
knowledge-based interventions that could restore more effectively visual functions.
Accordingly, we studied the mechanisms by which the primary somatosensory cortex (S1)
expands in blinded rats. We found that early blindness reschedules S1 development as
evidenced through anatomical and cellular parameters. These changes occur together with
an earlier process of neuronal histone deacetylation. By administering valproic acid -a
histone deacetylase inhibitor- through the milk on a daily basis, we have successfully
prevented S1 expansion and delayed its formation in early blinded animals. Therefore,
valproic acid may become a potential drug for procuring epigenetic modulation of brain
plasticity, a circumstance that may improve the probability of achieving visual recovery in
blind subjects before the implantation of visual prosthesis.

Introduction: The renin-angiotensin system plays a critical role in heart attacks; Angiotensin
(1-7) by itself inhibits the activity of the ACE, it antagonizes AT1 receptors, releases
bradykinin, stimulates the release of nitric oxide and prostanoids. Objective: Determine the
contractile effect of Ang I and Ang II in rat aortic rings after 24 and 48 hours of coronary
occlusion, to assess the activity of Ang-(1-7). Methods: We used Wistar rats, which had a
ligature on the left coronary artery for 24 and 48 hours. We obtained the aortas and
prepared them as follows: small rings were cut and suspended (3 grams tension) in an
isolated organ chamber containing warm (37Вє C) buffered solution, continuously aerated (5%
CO2 and O2 95%), the rings were allowed to equilibrate for 1 h. Then the rings were

Acetaminophen is basically metabolized in the liver by conjugation with sulfate- and
glucuronide (>90%), and 5 to 9% is oxidized leading to the formation of N-acetyl-pbenzoquinoneimine (NAPQI), which has been reported as responsible of acetaminophen
toxicity. The aim of the present study was to develop a simple, selective and reliable method
to quantify acetaminophen and its metabolite NAPQI for therapeutic monitoring of both
compounds using 100 mL plasma samples, by reverse phase HPLC and UV detection. The
assay was performed using a C18 column and an isocratic elution with water–methanol–
formic acid (70:30:0.15; v/v/v) as mobile phase. Linearity of the method was assayed in the
range of 1–30 mg/mL for acetaminophen and 10–200 mg/mL for NAPQI, with a correlation
coefficient r = 0.999 for both compounds, and inter- and intra-day coefficients of variation of
less than 13%. Several commonly co-administered drugs were analyzed for selectivity and no
interference with the determinations was observed. The detection and quantification limits for
acetaminophen and NAPQI were 0.1 and 1 mg/mL, and 0.1 and 10 mg/mL respectively.
Therefore, the present method can be used to monitor acetaminophen levels using very
small volume of plasma, which may be helpful when patients are newborns. Besides, this
method is also able to detect the NAPQI in patients diagnosed with acetaminophen
intoxication.

Diabetes is a public health problem in Mexico and its incidence has increased. This disease
mainly affects energy metabolism, which can be improved by a daily diet polyunsaturated
fatty acids (PUFA). To prove whether a diet rich in polyunsaturated fat improves the
metabolic state in type I diabetes we used 20 rats of Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4
groups: 1) normoglycemia (n = 5), 2) normoglycemia + 30% PUFA (n = 5), 3) diabetes (n = 5)
and 4) diabetes + 30% PUFA (n = 5). The type I diabetes was induced by administration of
50 mg/Kg ip of streptozotocin. The animals received the diet for 15 weeks and during the
treatment they were measured for body weight, water consumption and energy intake per
week. At the end of the diet the animals were sacrificed and epididymal, retroperitoneal and
mesenteric adipose tissues were obtained. The diabetic animals showed an increase in
caloric intake, polydipsia, weight loss and a decrease in adipose tissue. While in diabetic
animals fed diet rich in PUFA had a reduced caloric intake, polydipsia and this treatment
prevents the weight loss. So, a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids enhances the
metabolic state of rats with type I diabetes. Funded by grants from the SIP-IPN 20100727

Cervical Cancer (CeCa) is a serious disease developed as consequence of cellular changes
into the tissue connecting uterus and vagina. This disease is the second place of women
deaths in developing countries. Among the current cancer treatments, chemotherapy has
demonstrated be effective even in late stages of cancer. However, the cytotoxicity of
antiproliferative drugs is still causing severe secondary effects to cancer patients making
necessary the creation of new and less aggressive drugs. A series of novel heterocyclic
compounds have been synthesized using computer-based modeling. Here, we evaluated the
cytotoxic activity of a series of heterocyclic compounds in several human cervical cancer cell
lines. In vitro cytotoxic effects were tested with MTT assay and Crystal Violet staining. Among
the target cells (HeLa, SiHa, Ca Ski and C-33 A), the cell lines Ca Ski and C-33 A were
sensitive to a piperidinic compound (LQM 335) while HeLa and Ca Ski cell lines were
sensitive to a cupper complex (LQM 402) showing IC 50 values under 100ВµM. In addition,
these compounds were less cytotoxic against no tumorigenic cells (PBMC and CHO). Three
compounds out of the total series were selected in order to evaluate the mutagenic effect in a
bacteria model. The mutagenic effect of three selected compounds was determined using
Salmonella typhimurium strains for detection of frame shift mutations (TA98), base-pair
substitutions (TA100), and free radical damage (TA102) in the Ames test. None of the tested
compounds showed mutagenic activity in these strains. Therefore, according to our results,
the cupper complex may be a good candidate for anti-cancer drug development and further
evaluation is necessary. The posible mechanism of cellular damage is being evaluated for
the compound LQM 402, as well as the effect of this compound into a in vivo model.

Current evidence supports the view that opioid receptors are modified as a consequence of
seizure activity in human brain and experimental models of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
(MTLE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the binding to Оє opioid receptors (KOP-R) in
neocortex of patients with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy through in vitro
3
autoradiography using [ H]U-69593. Temporal neocortical tissue was obtained from patients
with MTLE (n=10). Control samples were obtained from autopsy of 8 subjects without history
3
of neurological disease. [ H]U-69593 binding in fmol/mg protein for autopsy tissue was as
follows: layers I-II, 14.1В±3.1; layers III-IV, 11.1В±3.9; layers V-VI, 86.3В±42.5. In contrast with
3
autopsy samples, the neocortex from MTLE patients demonstrated enhanced [ H]U-69593
binding in layers V-VI (979%, p<0.05). No significant differences on binding were detected in
cortical layers I-II and III-IV. The present study provides strong evidence that MTLE is
associated with alterations in KOP-R, situation that could be involved with the mechanisms
leading to pharmacoresistant epilepsy in this patients. CONACyT Grant # 98386 and

CALMODULIN ANTAGONISTS INHIBIT THE SEA URCHIN SPERM
HYPERPOLARIZATION NECESSARY FOR DIRECTED MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE
EGG. Blanca Estela Galindo. Centro de InvestigaciГіn y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN.
Unidad Monterrey.
Egg peptides from egg-jelly surrounding the sea urchin egg, profoundly influence sperm
physiology. A sperm activating peptide, named speract, a decapeptide from
Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sea urchin eggs, transiently stimulates a membrane guanylyl
+
cyclase in the sea urchin sperm flagella and activates a cGMP-dependent and K selective
channel (SpKCNG) that hyperpolarizes the sperm. This hyperpolarization is essential for the
directed movement of sperm towards the egg. OBJECTIVE: To determine if calmodulin
(CaM), which has been found in the sperm of various species, participates in the signal
transduction induced by speract. METHODS: Membrane potential recordings with fluorescent
dyes in sperm flagellar vesicles were used. RESULTS: The vesicle hyperpolarization induced
by speract was inhibited by the calmodulin antagonists: TFP, mastoparan, W-7, W-5 and W12. Since that inhibition occurred at concentration at which calmodulin action is inhibited by
these compounds, the overall findings pointed that this protein could be involved in the
2+
speract response. The speract response in flagellar vesicles was Ca independent, we use
2+
the Ca chelators EGTA and BAPTA. Ten millimolar of EGTA does not inhibit the
hyperpolarization and BAPTA (2 mM) only inhibited partially. High concentrations of CaMdependent kinase II and phosphatase inhibitors did not alter the response of the flagellar
vesicles to speract (Galindo, et al, 2000). CONCLUSION: The overall results indicate that the
speract-induced hyperpolarization involves the participation of calmodulin. This work was

The objective of this work was to do an ethnobotanic study of Randia aculeata in the
municipality of Jamapa, Veracruz, Mexico. The methodology was to poll 75 inhabitants of the
region. Out of this number of people polled, 96% of them knew the existence of the plant. In
all of these cases people gave general information about the plant which is commonly used
as an antidote against venom from snakes, spiders, bees and toads. The plant is commonly
used too as a remedy against pain, inflammation, diabetes and cancer. It was found that
Randia aculeata is regularly sold in local markets in the region which indicates an important
presence in the local economy for these people. We also found the colloquial names used to
denominate the plant in the region: ―crucetillo‖ or ―crucetillo macho‖. The most common way
to prepare the crucetillo for traditional medical use is to chop 7 complete fruits and leave
them immersed in beer or in wine for 8 days. 45 mL of this solution has to be ingested to cure
chronic diseases. In case of a sting made by a poisonous animal 250 mL should be ingested
immediately after the fact. It can also be used in pets when they bite a poisonous toad by
accident. One of the collected specimens of crucetillo was stored in the herbarium of
medicinal plants of the Centro Medico Siglo XXI IMSS and was registered for its traditional
medical use.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) has an important function in regulating systemic arterial pressure. The
aim of this work was to explore the in vivo Ang II continuous effect on пЃЎ1D-adrenoceptors
functional expression and hypertrophy in aorta and caudal arteries of Wistar rats. Osmotic
minipumps (Alzet) filled with Ang II (release of 200 ng/kg/min/14 days) were subcutaneously
implanted in 3 months-old male Wistar rats, at the same time rats were administered BMY
7378 (10 mg/kg/day/14days) or losartan (1 mg/kg/day/14days) in drinking water. Arterial
blood pressure was measured by a tail-cuff method; after 2 weeks arteries were isolated and
used for contractile experiments. Ang II induced an early and sustained increase in blood
pressure and a maximal effect at 11 days (136 В± 4 vs 104 В± 4 mmHg) however, when
losartan (antagonist AT1) was administered in the drinking water, it prevented the
development of hypertension, whereas hypertension did not prevent with BMY 7378
(antagonist пЃЎ1D-ARs). At the functional level, phenylephrine-induced contraction in aorta was
greater (4.2 В± 0.3 g maximal effect) in Ang II-treated rats than in controls (2.7 В± 0.4 g), this
increase only was observed in aorta but not in caudal artery; furthermore, BMY 7378 and
losartan inhibited the hyperreactivity produced by Ang II in aorta. Similar events were
observed through histology of the vessels, where only the aorta of rats treated with Ang II
developed hypertrophy. The data support our hypothesis that Ang II-induced hypertension
and
hypertrophy
might
be
mediated
indirectly
through
пЃЎ1D-adrenoceptors.

Undoubtedly, some antineoplastic drugs have been derived from plants, being an important
phytotherapy source. One of them, empirical and scientific, is Uncaria tomentosa (UT). In the
present study evaluated the utility of the aqueous extract of the bark of Ut in breast cancer model
induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Sprague Dawley female rats of 50 days,
were divided into 4 groups (n= 15 per group): 1) control vehicle (safflower oil); groups 2 and 3
received DMBA 10 mg/kg, intragastrically for 6 weeks (monday to friday) to induce breast cancer
(CADMBA). In addition, group 2 received co-administration with Ut (160 mg/kg) as preventive
therapy. In group 3, once the tumors were present, were given similar doses of Ut (6 weeks) to
assess reversal of the process.Control Ut group was included. Lipoperoxidation (LPox), stability of
erythrocyte membranes (EPME) and tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alphafetoprotein (AFP) and acid phosphatase (AP), was measured; also breast tissue for histological
evaluation. Our results showed that Ut reduced LPox increased in CA DMBA, and recovered the
EPME reduced, both in prevention and reversal models; levels of CEA, AFP and AP increased at
175%, 400% and 14% over the control, respectively, showed partial recovery with Ut
administration. Pathological diagnosis showed variable response in number and distribution of
mammary tumors, with survival of 40% without treatment. Histologically was observed large cell
tumors with atypical lymphocyte infiltration and diffuse growth pattern. Alterations were modulated
by administering Ut, because the breast architecture was observed most conserved and survival
increased to around 85%. Our results support the therapeutic value of Uncaria tomentosa in
experimental breast cancer. * Number 15608 CONACYT Project Fellow. Project funded by SEPPIFI 2008-2009 and Fondo Sectorial SEP-CONACYT, Ciencia BГЎsica, CB-2008-0-105986.

Obesity is a serious problem across the world linked to several pathologies and recently has
been considered as a risk factor in the development of renal failure. We studied whether mild
obesity contributes to progression of the disease and tested the effects of an antioxidant and
L-arginine treatment (Tx) on nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and kidney failure parameters in
mice with chronic kidney failure (CKD) during mild obesity. WTC57 mice were fed with a highfat diet (HFD) or a normal diet (ND) for up 2 weeks and subjected to either sham surgery or
5/6 nephrectomy (Np). Mice were divided in 5 groups: ND/sham, ND/Np, HFD/sham, HFD/Np
and HFD/Np + Tx. Treatment consisted in Vitamin C (83 mg/Kg weight), Vitamin E (46 mg/Kg
weight) and L-arginine (200 mg/Kg weight). In ND mice, 5/6 nephrectomy increased urinary
volume from 1.15В± 0.1 to 3.14 В± 0.1 mL/24h; proteinuria from 2.7В±0.2 to 3.3 В± 0.1 mg/24h;
•–

blood pressure from 84 В± 4 to 117В± 2 mmHg; renal O2 production (DHE dye) from 7.8x10 to
5
9.5x10 fluorescence arbitrary units; eNOS mRNA expression halved; plasma
tetrahydrobiopterin concentration (capillary electrophoresis) decreased from 23.7 В± 3 to 14.2
В± 2 pmol/mL; urinary NO2 (Griess reaction) decreased from 370 В± 82 to 142 В± 36 ВµM. In
HFD/Np mice all those parameters worsened. Finally, treatment ameliorated renal damage
and statistically improved NO metabolism in HFD/NFX + Tx mice. We conclude that mild
obesity worsens renal damage during CKD through reduction in expression and activity of
eNOS.
EFFECT OF CHRONIC RESTRAINT STRESS ON 5-HT7 RECEPTOR EXPRESSION IN
RAT ADRENAL GLANDS. GarcГ­a-Iglesias BB, TerrГіn JA. Departamento de FarmacologГ­a,

It has been shown that serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), produced by chromaffin and
mast cells, acts as a paracrine factor stimulating the activity of adrenocortical cells (1). In rats,
the stimulatory effect of 5-HT on the adrenal cortex has been widely documented (2) and it
has been recently demonstrated that the corticotropic effect of 5-HT on rat glomerulosa cells
is mediated through 5-HT7 receptors (3). The adrenal gland, on the other hand, is activated
by repeated restraint stress (4) but the possible changes of adrenal 5-HT receptors and their
function under chronic stress conditions remain largely unknown. This study was designed
therefore to evaluate the effect of chronic restraint stress (CRS; 20 min/day for 2 weeks) on
5-HT7 receptor immunoreactivity and protein expression in the rat adrenal gland; control rats
were maintained undisturbed in their home cages. One day after the end of the CRS
treatment, adrenal glands from control and experimental animals were processed for
immunohistochemistry and western-blot assays using specific antibodies. Immunoreactivity to
the 5-HT7 receptor was found in the cortex in the form of clusters through the zona
fasciculata, and in the medulla. Exposure to CRS induced an increase of cortical 5-HT7
receptor immunoreactivity which appeared more widely spread throughout the zona
fasciculata; immunoreactivity in the medulla was apparently unchanged but this needs
confirmation. The amount of 5-HT7 receptor protein measured in whole adrenals significantly
increased in chronically restrained animals. Results suggest that the 5-HT7 receptor could
play an important role in adrenal glucocorticoid secretion under chronic stress conditions.

P-glycoprotein (MDR1) is a multidrug efflux protein that extrude tacrolimus from the cell, it is
present in renal tubular cells. Tacrolimus is related to the development of chronic allograft
nephropathy. The aim of the study was to determine if the MDR1 Exon 12 gene
polymorphism in the transplant donor influence the development of chronic nephropathy,
tacrolimus levels, tacrolimus dose requirements and glomerular filtration rate in the transplant
recipient.
DNA sample was obtained in 29 living related renal transplant donors. The
MDR1 Exon 12 genotyping was performed by direct sequencing. The information regarding
the evolution of the transplant recipient during the first 12 months was obtained from the
clinical chart, including: number of acute rejection episodes, presence of biopsy proven
allograft nephropathy, tacrolimus blood levels and dose requirements at 1, 6 and 12 months
post-transplant. Glomerular filtration rate was estimated using Schwartz formula, the delta of
glomerular filtration rate at 12 months was evaluated in all patients. All the patients had at
least one protocol biopsy performed at six months post-renal transplant. Four donors were
C/C (13.7%), thirteen were C/T (44.8%) and twelve were T/T genotype(41.3%). 21 patients
had chronic allograft nephropathy (75% in C/C donors, 69% in C/T donors, and 75% in T/T
donors, p>0.05), six patients had biopsy proven acute rejection during the first 12 months
post-renal transplant (25% in C/C donors, 30.7% in C/T donors and 16.6% in T/T donors,
p>0.05). No difference was found in tacrolimus blood levels, tacrolimus dose requirements at
1, 6 and 12 months by genotype.The delta of glomerular filtration rate at 12 months was
similar in all genotypes. Chronic allograft nephropathy and acute rejection episodes were not
influenced by the MDR1 Exon 12 genotype in the donor

Dietary and nutritional factors have been reported to have gene expression and genome
modulating effects in the development or prevention of certain cancers. In fact, some studies
suggest that a diet rich in flavanol, may be associated with a decreased risk of breast and
other cancers. Whether well, +(-)Catechin and +(-)epicatechin, are the most common
flavanols in foods and they are the main portion in the plasma after the consumption of rich
foods in flavanols, few studies have been performed about of their antineoplasic proprieties.
In the present study, we investigated the antineoplasic activity of two enantiomeric forms +()Catechin and +(-)epicatechin in breast cancer cells lines. MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and BT-474
breast cancer cells lines were grown in the presence of +(-)catechin, -(-)epicatechin and the
effects on the cell viability and modulation of tumor suppressor gene methylation (DAPK1
and APC) were analyzed. The obtained results showed that flavanols inhibited cell
proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Interestingly, the inhibitory effect on BT-474 cell
line was observed when a mix the flavanols was used. Whether well,+(-)catechin and –()epicatechin presented the same fifty inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 350 µM), cell growth
inhibition was observed at different days after exposure. In addition, we provide new
evidence using methylation specific PCR (MSP) that +(-)catechin and –(-)epicatechin, can
alter genes methylation in breast cancer cells lines, and that this change is coordinated with
an apoptosis induction in these cell lines.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a mediator of oxidative cellular damage. There are evidences about the
participation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the mechanism of neurodegeneration in
Huntington’s disease (HD). HD is caused by an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the
protein huntingtin (htt). The activation of NMDAr by its agonist quinolinic acid (QUIN) evokes an
increase of nNOS function and promotes the oxidative stress. The aim of the present work was to
study the participation of nNOS in QUIN-induced oxidative stress as well as to dilucidate its
relationship with the htt expression in nNOS knock-out mice. To reach this goal, we bred a colony
of the B6129-NOS1tm1P1h line of nNOS knock-out mice. Three genotypes were determined by PCR:
wild type (+/+), heterocigotes (+/-) and knock-out (-/-). Saline solution (SS) or QUIN was
microinjected in striata of each mouse and circling behavior (CB), GABA levels, oxidative stress,
NOS activity and expression were measured. Results showed that CB was reduced and GABA
depletion was significantly attenuated in nNOS knock-out mice; this group also showed significant
protection (p<0.05) in the striatum against oxidative damage induced by QUIN, in comparison to
wild type and heterocigotes mice. In contrast, the expression of the mRNA of htt was increased in
all animals treated with QUIN compared with the animals microinjected with SS (p<0.05). This
results demonstrate that NO is involved in oxidative damage and neurodegeneration process
induced by QUIN. Additionally we found that the htt increase during the acute response to QUIN
challenge may provide a partial explanation for degeneration observed in HD.

Attention-Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed
childhood disorder. According to DSM-IV the global prevalence in scholarship children is between
3 to 5%; in Mexico the estimated prevalence is 5%. Treatment is based on stimulant drugs,
specifically methylphenidate (MPH). Several questions exist relating to its diagnosis, treatment,
and long-term effect on ADHD child development. Consequently, research is warranted to
accurately describe prescribing use of stimulants. Objective: to evaluate the use of stimulants in a
group of Mexican children with ADHD in order to know some pharmacoepidemiological data.
Methods: An observational and descriptive study in pediatrics patients based on a survey in a one
year period (June 2009 to June 2010) was done. Survey was answered by children parents who
signed an informed consent. Patients with diagnosis of ADHD and ADD received stimulant
treatment with and without co-morbidity and those in evaluation were consider. Results: Of 124
surveys, 57 were selected according to inclusion criteria. 82% of patients received
methylphenidate and 18% non-stimulant treatment. The mean age of stimulant users was 7.94
years (4-13 years), 82.4% were male, 80% were in a primary school and 94% had a nonpharmacologic treatment. Immediate release was the most prescribed form in three different
commercial presentations, and 8% received the long term release. We found that children with
seven years old were who received more methylphenidate prescription. The age and having a
comorbidity increased the probability (p<0.005) for receiving methylphenidate treatment. The most
frequent side effect reported was loss of appetite. Conclusion: Methylphenidate in an immediate
action form was the most prescribed stimulant drug in seven years old children with ADHD in the
population studied. High percentage of children received methylphenidate treatment .

medicinal uses of J. spicigera against dysentery we performed a monitoring antimicrobial,
antiparasitic and spasmolytic test as well as a test against yeasts and molds according to
their use against infections of the skin and kidneys. We found no significant activity in the
case of antimicrobial monitoring nor spasmolytic tests but parasite monitoring activity was
observed against all parasites tested. As safety test we performed the following tests:
Artemia salina which indicated a LC50 of 100 Ојg/mL for infusion and harmless for extracts and
the acute toxicity test in CD-1 mice by i.p. and oral ways for the methanol extract and the
infusion. The infusion showed a LD50 of 63.3 mg/kg i.p., and >5g/kg orally. In the case of i.p.
results for both extracts, were supplemented by histopathological analysis. Scientific literature
on this species, reported that the genus Justicia is rich in antiviral and cytotoxic molecules, so
a study of reverse transcriptase inhibition of HIV-1 was carried out, and a trial against six
tumor cell lines.As chemical analysis, it was carried out a profile of groups of secondary
metabolites which showed the presence of carbohydrates, amino acids and polyphenols at
high concentrations. From one of the fractions vanillinic acid was isolated.
ASSESSMENT OF APOPTOSIS OF MONONUCLEAR CELLS INCUBATED WITH

Detection of apoptosis may be useful to understand the mechanism of drug action,
mechanisms associated with the nature of disease and the effectiveness of treatments,
among others. It is considered that the determination of morphological changes, changes in
the symmetry of the cell membrane, DNA degradation, and activation of caspases, are the
more sensitive tests for detection of apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to show an
analysis of the results obtained from mononuclear cells incubated with the apoptosis inducer,
camptothecin, after evaluation by morphological changes, and the methods of Tunel and
Annexin V. Mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood of 3 healthy volunteers.
The cells were incubated with camptothecin for 1.5, 3 and 4 hours and processed by the
three methods for analysis by flow cytometry. The results show a graphical analysis of
apoptosis for each method. The incubation with camptothecin led to 40% of apoptosis in the
cells after four hours of incubation. With the Tunel method was obtained less dispersion of
data, however up to 4 hours of incubation, the percentages obtained by the three methods
were similar in each time. Evaluation of apoptosis by the methods studied and up to 4 hours
of incubation with camptothecin, allows analysis of apoptosis of mononuclear cells in a similar
manner, although that the methods used measured events at different stages of apoptosis.

The aim of the study was to assess changes in the myocardium in an animal model of type 2
diabetes in order to resemble as much as possible the events that occur in type 2 diabetic patients
and that may be useful for chronic studies. Methods: Hyperglycemia was induced in male Wistar
rats (150-200 g) by 5 intraperitoneal injections of low doses of streptozotocin (20 mg/kg) in
addition to a high fat diet. The evaluation was done by metabolic, blood glucose measures and
cardiac histological studies. They were sacrificed at different times until 25 week to evaluate the
progression of cardiac fibrosis and the stable hyperglycemia. Results: Experimental diabetes
using streptozotocin in addition to a high fat diet caused stable hyperglycemia, without their
gradual recovery to normoglycemia. The use of insulin therapy to sustain life was not necessary
suggesting that doses calculated to cause a partial destruction of ОІ cell mass in addition to a high
fat diet was appropriated. Besides, we observed a gradual development of interstitial fibrosis,
getting started at week 15 after induction, becoming very obvious at week 25. We found
similarities with the human condition in our model, which presented moderate obesity, polydipsia,
polyphagia, polyuria, and stable hyperglycemia without a tendency to cause ketosis or
deterioration into type 1 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: This model could be useful to investigate
mechanisms related to this important chronic macrovascular complication of diabetes and useful
to research in order to find new therapies.

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common of the benign pelvic neoplasm. The function of the
progesterone and estrogen in leiomyomas as etiological agents has been demonstrated; through
its paracrine and autocrine effects, which stimulate the production of several factors such as oxide
nitric, and endothelin, which are able to regulate mitosis, extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and
angiogenesis. Uterine leiomyomas presents excess ECM which to act as a source growth factors,
cytokines, angiogenic and inflammatory response mediators, produced by tumoral cells, those
events are associated with growth and differentiation cell, which are critical to leiomyoma growth.
In this study, we analyzed the relationship between histological morphology of leiomyoma and
expression proteic of ERО± and PR-A-B, endothelin converting enzyme and endothelial nitric oxide
synthase in different phases of the menstrual cycle. Samples of myometrium, subtumoral tissue
and leiomyoma were obtained from women with diagnoses of uterine myomatosis of medium
elements and analyzed by immunoblotting to identify ERО±, PR-A-B, ECE and eNOS; the bands
were revealed by chemiluminiscence, the densytograms were measurement with Quantity One
software. Another portion of the samples were stained for histological analysis with H-E and
Gomori Trichromic. The morphological characteristics (cell density and ECM) were observed. We
founded that in proliferative phase are increased the proteins of ERО± and eNos, while in secretory
phase, was predominant the isoform A of PR, together with ERО± and ECE expression. The hyaline
leiomyomas predominates in proliferative phase, characterized for more content ECM, while in
secretory phase predominates cellulars type, in this morphology we found higher cell density, and
the size miocito is smallest whit respect the quantity of blood vases, the cellular myomas contents
are more irrigated. In conclusion, the ECE expression is stimulated by PR-A and ERО± during
secretory phase, probably regulating the differentiation of the cellulars leiomyomas whit higher the
density of blood vessels. ERО± can stimulate the synthesis of the eNOS in proliferative phase,
promoting the differentiation to hyaline leiomyomas.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-О± and IL-1ОІ, play pivotal role in the pathogenesis of
autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Inhibition of their action may provide therapeutic
benefits in several diseases. Different chemical structural types of natural products exhibit
anti-inflammatory activity and are considered to be potential drug candidates against the
inflammation-related pathological processes. The resiniferatoxin a naturally occurring
diterpene containing a homovanillic acid ester, showed pharmacological effect including antiinflammatory activity. BALB/c mice were exposed to LPS application (250Вµg/100g) in order to
evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity resiniferatoxin. Five different groups were used: (i)
control group (none stimulus); (ii) LPS; (iii) LPS-dexamethasone; (iv) LPS- resiniferatoxin (20
Вµg/kg) and (v) vehicle control. Plasmas samples were collected and stored at -70ВєC, 180 min
after the last LPS or treatment administration. The resiniferatoxin after peripheral
administration reduced the nitric oxide levels significantly p<0.001. As well as the releasing
TNF-О± was significantly inhibited (p<0.005). These findings suggest that the anti-inflammatory
action of resiniferatoxin is mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide inhibition
and may be promising drug for targeted inhibition inflammatory diseases and this effect may
be related to the inhibition of inflammatory response via NF-ОєB.

Extracts of the plant Rosmarinus officinalis, L. (Rosemary) have been studied in several
experimental models to establish scientific basis about its hepatoprotective and antioxidative
(AOx) properties. Also has been used as a home remedy. In order to know its efficacy and
in vivo potency, we studied the comparative effect of R. officinalis, against other AOx, which
are in commercial and clinical use (in all treatments the administered dose was 10 mg/kg):
butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), E vitamin, Ascorbic acid
(ASCA) and Citric acid (CITA) in murine model of acute hepatotoxicity induced by carbon
tetrachloride (CCl4) in male Wistar rat at a single dose of 4 g/kg of body weight, oral route,
dissolved in corn oil. R. officinalis was prepared in our laboratory as a methanolic total
extract, after maceration, distillated by reflux, bleached and concentrated by rotary
evaporator. Liver lipoperoxidation degree was evaluated measuring malondialdehyde (MDA);
liver damage was assessed by measurement of glycogen deposition and activity of serum
alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Our results showed that oxidative damage from CCl4, 24 h
post-administration, increased the MDA (357%). R. officinalis significantly prevented this
oxidation maintaining MDA levels below control. E Vitamin, BHA and ASCA had good effect
but less potent than R. officinalis (49%, 71% and 72% over the control, respectively); with
lower potency CITA (91%) and with practically no hepatic effect was BHT (202% over the
control). Both the severe decrease in liver glycogen and increased ALT induced by CCl 4,
were prevented with R. officinalis as a promising antioxidant and hepatoprotective agent in
acute model of hepatotoxicity. Project funded by Fondo Sectorial SEP-CONACYT, Ciencia

The purpose of the study is to identify the cases where drugs are prescribed by professors
and students of the Odontology faculty of UNAM, which are the pharmacology groups more
used, the once they prefer and to verify if they follows the good prescription guide from the
WHO. An eight question survey was made to 16 professors and 65 students of fourth grade
career. The most used NSAID’S are: Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Ketorolac, Acetaminophen; the
antibiotics more used are: Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Clindamycin, Penicillin V; the most common
mistakes are: to unknown the dosage, the prescription, presentations, to get confuse on the
pharmacological effects; and last when the students prescribe, they support in the clinical
professor, their classmates or a medical representative from a laboratory. Therefore, I
conclude that it is necessary to use this information in order to improve the educations by
making some guides including the guide from the WHO within the curriculum having refresher
trainings among others.

Francisco Hernandez in his ―Historia de las Plantas de la Nueva España‖ (1571-1577)
described a plant named in Nahuatl language ―Ecapatli‖, as following: ―It is a kind of ―laurel‖
minor than ours, and with smaller leaves, but similar in whatever else. The natives cure
paralysis with its odorous smoke, its decoction administered in washing and baths heals
fatigue and epilepsy of children‖. ―Ecapatli‖ has been interpreted as Litsea glaucescens
(Lauraceae) commonly named ―laurel‖. Besides its culinary uses, L. glaucescens infusion has
been used to treat anger, sadness, nervousness, among others illness. Based on above, the
neuropharmacological profile of the essential oil of L. glaucescens was evaluated in mice
using several experimental models: Forced swimming test (FST: antidepressant activity),
open field test (OFT: spontaneous locomotor activity), rotarod (motor coordination), traction
performance (myo-relaxant effect), elevated plus-maze (anxiolytic activity) and exploratory
cylinder (sedative activity). The essential oil induced a reduction of immobility at 100 mg/Kg in
the FST, but did not modify the spontaneous locomotor activity in OFT. The essential oil at
the same dose did not have effect on motor coordination, neither showed myo-relaxant,
anxiolytic or sedative properties. The composition of essential oil was analyzed by GC/MS,
identification of compounds was based on comparison of retention times and mass spectra of
authentic standards, and with NIST 05 mass spectra library. The linalool, one of its major
constituents presented antidepressant activity in FST at 100 mg/Kg, with a slight depression
on the spontaneous locomotor activity in OFT, but, without modifying motor coordination or
muscle strength. These data reveal that the essential oil of L. glaucescens possess
antidepressant effect in mice, providing support for its use in Mexican Traditional Medicine

The present investigation evaluated the inhibitory effect of ethanol extract from Hamelia patens
and Calea urticifolia on the secretion of pro inflammatory cytokines in Wistar rats serum through
ELISA immunoassay. The results showed that the plants extracts have inhibitory effect on TNF-пЃЎ,
IL-1пЃў and IL-6 at different doses. Wistar male rats were treated independently with these ethanol
extracts: Calea urticifolia at dose 0.044mg/kg; Hamelia patens at dose 0.403mg/kg (those being
the traditional indigenous doses); Calea urticifolia at dose 0.088mg/kg; and Hamelia patens at
dose 0.806mg/kg (those being twice de traditional doses); and Meloxicam at 0.1 mg/ kg
dose (prototype drug);. Treatments were given intraperitoneally, 1hr before inducing local
inflammation with carrageenan at 1%, according to Arredondo, 2008 [1]. Blood samples were
obtained by cardiac puncture at 4.5hr of experiment, when the volume of inflammation of
plantar fascia of the animals was maximum. ELISA immunoassay was used to evaluate the
concentration of TNF-пЃЎ, IL-1пЃў and IL-6 cytokines in serum. The plants extracts have inhibitory
effect on TNF-пЃЎ, IL-1пЃў and IL-6, being the dose of 0.044 mg/kg from C. urticifolia extract the most
effective for TNF-пЃЎ inhibition. Only the extract from H. Patens showed the best inhibitory effect for
IL-6, at dose of 0.806 mg /kg comparable to the prototype drug. The traditional indigenous use of
these plants was verified, being the C. urticifolia extract the most effective one, and also the one
with the lower dose and greater effect. (Project supported under PROMEP Folio UASLP-PTC- 151

The objective of this work was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of the ethanol extract from
Calea urticifolia over the systemic inflammation that the adipose tissue generates in the body, and
the secretion of adiponectin. Male Wistar rats were used, given a high fat diet and treated with C.
urticifolia extract at dose 0.088mg/kg. The results showed that the group treated with plant extract
and high fat diet had lower levels of pro inflammatory cytokines and higher levels of adiponectin
than the control group. Obesity is a condition that leads to serious health problems. Adipose tissue
secretes multiple metabolically proteins called adipocytokines. Adiponectin interacts with insulin
signaling in the context of low-grade inflammation, associated with obesity, encouraging the
uptake of insulin, and preventing the development of type II diabetes. Two groups of male Wistar
rats were fed a high fat diet; one of these groups was given daily 0.088mg/kg of C. urticifolia
extract orally; and the other group was treated with water. Blood samples were taken at the end of
experiment to evaluate pro inflammatory cytokines and adiponectin serum levels. All parameters
were determined by ELISA immunoassay. The groups treated with plant extract showed lower
levels of serum glucose and triglycerides than the water groups. The high fat diet/extract group
showed decreased levels of TNF-пЃЎ and IL-6. There was an increase in the secretion of
adiponectin levels showed in the high fat diet groups, specially the group treated with the plant
extract. The oral administration of ethanol extract from Calea urticifolia regulates the secretion of
pro inflammatory cytokines and increases secretion of adiponectin when fed a high fat diet.

Aniline is an aromatic amine, widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Aniline
exposure causes selective toxicity in the spleen like fibrosis, splenomegaly, elevated
erythropoietic activity, hyperpigmentation, hyperplasia, increased reactive oxygen species
(ROS) and other free radicals that initiate events such as lipid peroxidation, oxidation of
proteins and DNA. On the other hand, we know that hypothyroidism decreases the basal
metabolic state by providing protection against oxidative stress-generating events. So, to
determine whether hypothyroidism protects against oxidative stress and cell damage in the
spleen caused by intoxication with aniline we used 24 male Wistar rats weighing 240 to 260 g
divided into four groups: 1) euthyroid, 2) euthyroid + aniline, 3) hypothyroid, and 4)
hypothyroid + aniline. The hypothyroidism was produced by thyroidectomy with
reimplantation of the parathyroid gland. Two weeks after surgery, the animals were
intoxicated with 1 mmol/kg/d ig aniline for five days. On the fifth day, the animals were
sacrificed and the spleen was obtained. One section was processed by the conventional
technique of paraffin embedding, while another section of the spleen was used to assess lipid
peroxidation, the quantification of reactive oxygen species, reduced glutathione and oxidized
glutathione. Our results demonstrated that hypothyroidism prevents the enhancement of
oxidative markers as well as the severity of splenic injury caused by aniline intoxication.

Studies performed in our laboratory have shown histological alterations in ovary and testes of
mice exposed to diazepam (DZ) in the uterus. In this work we assessed the effect of these
alterations upon sperm structure of mice prenatally treated with DZ. One group of dams (E)
was sc treated with diazepam (2.7 mg/k/d) from the 6th to 17th day of gestation and another
group received saline sol. (C). Their offspring were left to develop until the 6th month of age,
when a punction was performed to obtain 10 Вµl from the tail of epididymis. The aspirate was
processed by the Talbot-Chacon modified method for micro volumes and assessed with
photonic microscope. The number of sperms, sperm viability, and the presence of acrosomal
reaction and proportion of abnormal forms were determined in each preparation. Aspirates
from E animals showed a greater amount of living sperms with acrosomal reaction (p<0.05).
These results suggest that the drug modifies the biochemical integrity of sperm membranes.

The aim of this work was to compare the expression of sexual behavior of female and males
mice prenatally treated with diazepam (DZ). A group of CD-1 strain female mice maintained
in stock environmental conditions with 12/12 light-dark cycles was submitted to daily single
doses of 2.7 mg/kg/bw/sc of DZ from day 6th to 17th of gestation. A control group (C)
received saline solution. The youngsters were born and continued their normal development
until the 6th month, male offspring sexual activity was tested with receptive ovariectomized
females in which the estrus phase was induced with ethynylestradiol. The spontaneous
female offspring sexual activity to non-treated experienced males of the same age was
tested. In both cases they were documented in sessions of 3 trials, one per week, in 2
occasions: at 6 and 20 month of age. Trials were performed during the dark phase of the
light-dark cycle for lapses of 30 min under infrared illumination and were videorecorded.
Precopulating and intercourse behaviors were assessed. Prenatally administered DZ seems
not to interfere with sexual interest of males, since no difference was found during the
precopulatory phase. During the copulating stage, adult DZ males showed greater incidence
of interruptions of intravaginal penetration, while senile DZ males had lower latencies of
mount series and greater proportion of ejaculations. Both adult and senile DZ males exhibited
a significantly larger incidence of falls and pauses during mount series with intromission. In
DZ females precopulating behavior tended to be shorter. In the copulating phase, their
lordotic indexes, proportion of lordotic females by trial and intensity of lordosis were
significantly greater, as much in adults as in senile mice. Results show a permanent
dimorphic effect in the expression of the sexual activity between males and females mice,
with facility patterns for females and difficulty for males, which suggests a modification in the
consecutive neural interaction due to the prenatal exposure to DZ.

Palmitone is a secondary metabolite of polyketide origin. It was extracted from leaves of
Annona diversifolia Saff. (Annonaceae). Also, it was observed that palmitone posses an
anticonvulsant propierties against penicillin-, 4-AP- as well as neuroprotective effect against
PTZ-caused hippocampal damage. Thus, our objective was to evaluate if palmitone protects
against PTZ-caused oxidative stress in brain regions as hippocampus, striatum and cerebral
cortex. We used 24 Wistar rats dividied in four groups of 6 animals: 1) DMSO + 0.9 % ss, 2)
DMSO + 50 mg/kg PTZ, 3) 50 mg/kg palmitone + 0.9 % ss and 4) 50 mg/kg palmitone + 50
mg/kg PTZ. Two days after administration, the animals were sacrificed by decapitation and
the hippocampus, striatum and cerebral cortex were dissected. The samples were used to
determine lipid peroxidation, quantification of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced
glutathione (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) content. It was observed that palmitone prevents the
PTZ-caused oxidative stress induced neuronal damage in CA3 hippocampal regionin brain
regions. This study was supported by SIP-IPN 20100478 and 20110473.

The relationship between NO and cholinergic system has been evidenced by blocking cognition
through the use of inhibitors of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS), while NO donors can facilitate it.
The NO donor molsidomine (MOLS) has been used as a pharmacological tool in order to
antagonize the cognitive deficit associated to cholinergic hypofunction produced by scopolamine.
However, the participation of NO in the recovery of cholinergic deficit due to the administration of
the cholinergic immunotoxin, 192-IgG saporin (SAP) has not been analyzed. The aim of the
present study was to determine the impact of the MOLS in the recovery of cognitive deficit using
the experimental model of cholinergic damage induced by 192 IgG saporin (SAP). For this
purpose male Wistar rats were injected with SAP (0.22 Вµg) or PBS (0.1M pH 7.4) into the medial
septum nucleus. After seven days, SAP and PBS groups were divided into isotonic saline solution
(SS, i.p.) and MOLS (4 mg/kg i.p.) subgroups. The cholinergic damage induced by the
immunotoxin was analyzed by histological and immunohistochemical methods. The effect of the
NO donor on the cognitive recovery was evaluated through the object recognition task. Results
showed that SAP decreased the novel object exploration, which could be due to the reduced
cholinergic cellular population in the lesion site and MOLS was able to avoid the progression of
damage in this area. The single dose of MOLS used in this study increased the exploration time of
novel object. Previously, we demonstrated that MOLS administration produced the recovery of the
basal levels of NOS activity in prefrontal cortex and striatum regions, which could antagonize the
SAP-related memory impairments. Results suggest that MOLS could be acting as a modulator of
nitrergic system, promoting the cognitive recovery in the model of cholinergic denervation induced
by SAP.

metals (Cu+2, Fe+2, Cr+3 and Cd+2). During the AD, these metals increased, and consequently the
FR, which could modify the catalytic activity of AChE. In this way, the main of this study was
evaluated the AChE catalytic in presence of Cu2+, Fe2+, Cr+3, Cd+2 and H2O2 measuring the ACh
concentrations. The results showed that metals and H2O2 hydrolyze ACh, being higher with the
H2O2 than with metals. While, AChE activity decreased when metal and H 2O2 were combined
being more evident with Fe2+. By using Cu2+, there was a significant statistical modification with
400 mM of Cu2+ and 100 mM of H2O2. The Cd2+ and Cr3+ followed a similar behavior, decreasing
the AChE activity, where the limiting factor was H2O2 concentration. Agree with these results , the
FR generation decrease the AChE activity, therefore, the ACh concentration available will be
higher in the synaptic cleft, however it doesnВґt occurs because the metals and the H 2O2 decrease
ACh concentration , offering an explanation of the deficit in the cholinergic system in patients with
AD. Our research group offers grateful to Conacyt 84119, COFAA 132353, and IPN for the

Urtica dioica is an annual or perennial plant widely distributed in Mexico. In folk medicine the plant
is used by the Indian Raramuris as antianemic in pregnant women. In previous work we reported
that the decoction of the plant counteract iron-deficiency anemia in pregnant female mice. The
purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the hematopoietic activity in vitro of the decoction and
its fractions. The decoction was chemically fractionated with hexane, dichlorometane, methanol.
These fractions along with the residual aqueous, and the row decoction were added to cultures of
hematopoietic cells from healthy and anemic female mice of CD1, distributed in groups A, B, and
C with 10 animals each one. Anemia was induced in groups A and B by bleeding twice a week
during for 15 days, Group C was the healthy control. On day 15 all mice were sacrificed and bone
marrow and spleen cells were cultured with 1,10, 100 Вµg/ml of the decoction and its fractions
(Group A), 5,10,20 Вµg/ml of FeSO4 for Group B, and pokeweed mitogen for Group C,
respectively. All cultures were incubated in a CO2 atmosphere for 72 hr. Decoction stimulated
significantly the proliferation of spleen cells from healthy mice, fractions showed lower
hematopoietic activity than the raw decoction. The stimulant activity of decoction on spleen cells
from anemic mice was lower than those from healthy mice. However, in both cases the activity
was equivalent to cultures treated with FeSO4 or pokeweed mitogen. Except, the concentration of
100 Вµg/mL of dichlorometane fraction, that inhibited the proliferation of bone marrow cells from
healthy mice, all others stimulated the cell proliferation. Results in vitro correlate with the
hematopoietic activity of the plant in vivo, which in turn supports its popular use as antianemic.

Pioglitazone is an agent who belongs to class of thiazolidinediones, in recent years, due to
variation in genetics condition and environmental conditions, the pharmacokinetics has received
increasing attention in different populations. The aim was to determine the pharmacokinetic of
pioglitazone in Mexicans of the state of Durango (PeГ±Гіn Blanco Dgo) with diabetes mellitus type
2. The study groups were established by 24 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and 13 healthy
subjects, all volunteers took a 30 mg pioglitazone tablet. The blood samples were collected of 0.0
to 36.0 hours and the pioglitazone was analyzed in the plasma by HPLC with a UV detector to 269
nm. The pharmacokinetics results were: (1) Volunteers with DM2: CmГЎx (1.073 В± 0.5838 Вµg/mL),
TmГЎx (2.145 В± 1.0681h), Kel ( 0.066 В± 0.0544 h-1), ABC0-в€ћ (13.899 В± 5.3112 Вµg.h/mL)*, tВЅ (
15.14 В± 8.77 h), Cl ( 2.479 В± 3.4343 L/h), Vd (50.0 В± 65.9806 L) y (2) Controls: CmГЎx.( 0.934
В±0.087 Вµg/ml), TmГЎx (0.934 В± 0.087 h), Kel (0.086 В± 0.015 h-1), ABC0-в€ћ (10.301В± 0.873
Вµg.h/mL), tВЅ (10.87 В± 1.52 h), Cl ( 2.550 В± 0.213 L/h), Vd (37.068 В± 4.530 L). The study showed
that ABC0-в€ћ was higher in the group with diabetes mellitus type 2 by 3.598 Вµg.h/mL respects to
group control. In other sense, is shown that population of controls are different in some
pharmacokinetics parameters (Cmax, ABCo-в€ћ, Kel, Cl) with others populations (Chinese, Tai and
Pakistani). This difference can due to specific factors that are related to polymorphism presence at
the CYP3A4 and/or CYP2C8, to environmental factors such as arsenic (drink water). Thereby is
suggested that the populations are pharmacokinetically differents when were referred to control
group compared with diabetes mellitus type 2 and control group with other populations.

Information related to drug adverse effects caused by ocular medications, both, topical and
systemic, has increased throughout the decades, the same occurs with information about
ocular side effects of systemic administered drugs for non ophthalmologic indications.
Objective: to quantitatively and qualitatively review the medical literature through the last four
decades about drug induced adverse effects of ocular drugs and ocular toxicity of non-ocular
drugs. Methodology: a bibliographic systematic review was performed with the following
terms: ―drug treatment‖ ―drug therapy‖ ―ocular adverse effects‖ ―ocular side effects‖ ―ocular
toxicity‖ ―systemic side effects‖ ―systemic adverse effects‖ ―systemic toxicity‖ ―ocular drug‖
―ophthalmic drug‖ using Boolean operators such as: ―OR‖, ―AND‖ & ―NOT‖, searches were
focused on the following issues: 1.Ocular side/adverse effects of ophthalmic drugs; 2. Ocular
side/adverse effects of systemic drugs and 3. Systemic side/adverse effects of ophthalmic
drugs. Pubmed was used to perform the searches, including as limits: species, human and
field tag, abstract/title, dates from 01/01/1971 to 31/12/2010. A subselection of references
was chosen, discarding articles that were irrelevant for the issues listed above. Results:
Information about ocular side/adverse effects of ophthalmic drugs is the largest of the three.
Adverse effects of adrenergic О±2agonists, adrenergic ОІantagonists, quinine derivatives,
antituberculous agents have been published throughout several decades. Adverse effects of
newer drugs such as amiodarone, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, antiepileptics, tamoxifen,
and its interactions have been published mainly in the last two decades. Discussion: It is
necessary to stress the importance of dissemination of knowledge among physicians related
to adverse effects of drugs on the eye, topically and systemically administered and also
about the possible systemic effects of drugs given as ophthalmic medication.

Population ageing is a singular phenomenon in each country and in different social groups. In
a first approximation to study ageing perspectives of faculty employees, teachers and
researchers at a Mexican university, we have explored their physical, mental and social
conditions, style of life, job stress and ageing experience. Explore health status and
medicines consumption among a sample of academic employees over 40 years of age at a
Mexican university. Method: analysis of answers to an on line survey in a random sample of
academic employees, 40 years and older, who work at the National University of Mexico.
The 179 items survey was answered from November 2009 to October 2010, by 240 randomly
selected academic employees. A section of the questionnaire was oriented toward health
issues. We analysed reported illness, self-perception of health status and medicines
consumption. Findings: Body systems involved more often among those who report any kind
of disease, were: circulatory and endocrine and/or metabolic, followed by osteomuscular and
digestive. Medicinal drugs were consumed in the last two weeks by 52% of respondents,
among these, vitamins were consumed by 28%, drugs for pain by 17%, drugs for high blood
pressure by 14%, drugs for high cholesterol by 13%, antibiotics by 8%, drugs for diabetes by
5%, cold medicines by 4%. Discussion: It is suggested that medicinal drugs may not be
consumed in situations in which they are indicated, such as in hypercholesterolemia and
possibly in hypertension and diabetes. Others, such as vitamins are frequently utilized.
Research and interventions should be directed toward better utilization of medicinal drugs.

The powder in capsules of root from Ibervillea sonorae (Curcubitaceae) have been widely used
in the Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Previous study on their
antidiabetic properties of the root of I. sonorae has revealed that the nature of their active
principles is a numerous mixture of monoglycerides and of fatty acids 1. Recent results from our
laboratories, however, have led to the hypothesis that non-fatty constituents play an important
role. The aim of our studies was to investigate the hypoglycemic activity de several extracts
obtained with hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water from I. sonorae roots in healthy and
alloxan-diabetic mice and to determine the compounds responsible for the observed effects in
those extracts. In contrast with previous investigation, this study was conducted with I. sonorae
root collected at Cumuripa-Porvenir municipality of Cajeme Sonora, MГ©xico City. Results showed
that the ethyl acetate extract exhibited the highest hypoglycemic effect in healthy and alloxandiabetic mice. The bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract led to isolation of the
active non-fatty containing fraction. The isolation of the activity compounds was carried out using
column chromatography and preparative plates. The structural assignments of a non–fatty pure
compound were based on NMR of 1H and 13C and mass spectrometry analysis. In this
presentation, the isolation, identification and hypoglycemic activity of the extracts and of a
compound isolated will be discussed. Referencie:1 HernГЎndez Galicia, E. et. al. (2007)

Cadherins are a calcium-dependent cellular adhesion protein. During tumoral processes, the
expression of cadherins diminishes, causing increases in the invasive processes and in the
methastasis. Daphnetin (6, 7-dihydroxycoumarin) is a secondary metabolite in several plants used
in folk medicine for inflammatory and allergic diseases. Previously, we have observed that
daphnetin has in vivo low antitumor activity per se,. In the present work we (1) characterized the
expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in mice tumors using specific antibodies for each
marker; (2) we also evaluated the change expression of both proteins in the tumor of daphnetintreated mice respect to tumor induced control in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice, 6-7 weeks of age (n =
8 animals per group in each experiment). Daphnetin was administrated via oral (20 or 40
mg/kg/day) daily and after two weeks, 105 B16-F10 murine melanoma cells were injected
subcutaneously in order to induce a primary tumor. After two weeks, tumor samples were obtained
and were assayed according inmunofluoerescence protocols. In the control tumors, the mark of Ncahdherin was localizated in the cellular plasma membrane as. In contrast, E-cadherin had a
diffuse plasmatic localization pattern with less intensity comparing with N-cadherin. In the tumors
of daphnetin treated mice, at the doses of 20 mg the expression of N-cadherin diminished respect
to controls. At doses of 40 mg/kg/day the expression of N-cadherin increased when compared to
the control. In the case of E-cadherin, no important changes were observed in the intensity of the
expression, but at the dose of 40 mg a better localization of the protein in the cell membrane was
seen. These results indicate that daphnetin induce a doses dependent increase of N-cadherina,
whereas in the case of E-cadherin only at high doses contribute to the relocalization. This effect
cut be important as coadjuvant in the melanoma therapy. Supported by PAPIIT/UNAM IN209010.

The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine or 5-HT) mediates wide variety of
functions such as mood control, sleep regulation, food intake, and sexual behavior, also has
been involved in developmental events as a trophic factor. Serotonin is synthesized centrally
by serotoninergic neurons located at the raphe nuclei and peripherically by enterochromaffin
cells of the intestine. Serotonin precursor is the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. The ratelimiting step for the synthesis of serotonin is catalyzed by tryptophan 5-hydroxylase (TPH), of
which, we know there are two isoforms (TPH1 and TPH2). Numerous studies have been
demonstrated the presence of serotonin in cells belonging to the taste system in several
species. Taste buds are cluster forming the taste papillae’s: fungiforme, foliate and
circumvallated papillae. To date, it is unknown which isoforms of the TPH is expressed in the
circumvallated papillae and its ontogeny. So, the aim of the present study, was examined the
expression of the RNAm of TPH during of development of the rat circumvallate papilla.
Expression of RNAm of TPH1 and TPH2 were determined by RT-PCR in rat embryonic 15,
17, and postnatal P0, P60 circumvallate papilla. Results showed the expression only of the
RNAm of the TPH1 isoform as early 15 days of their embryonic development and maintain its
expression into adulthood. These results support the hypothesis of the presence of the
serotoninergic system in the lingual epithelium.

In the search of new molecules with cysticidal activity a set of four 5 (6)-carboxamides of
carbendazim were synthesized. These molecules have the molecular requirements to exhibit
activity that was found in previous study. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate their
in vitro cysticidal activity using Taenia crassiceps cysts and albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO)
as reference drug. The parasites were deposited in cell culture dishes with culture medium
containing each molecule (0.28 - 3.5пЃ­M) and were incubated at 37В°C with 5% CO2 during 11
days. The mortality of the cysts was recorded every third day using an inverted light
microscope. Each experiment was run by triplicate. The effective concentration 50 (EC 50) was
calculated from concentration-response curves, using a nonlinear regression analysis. Our
results showed that all craboxamides exhibited cysticidal activity. The values EC 50 were:
AOA1: 11.64пЃ­M (9.06-16.07), AOA12: 9.18пЃ­M (5.98-12.16), AOA70: 6.33пЃ­M (5.58-7.21) and
MEDS: 1.08пЃ­M (0.78-1.5). The analogue MEDS was the most potent among the derivatives
but less potent than ABZSO: 0.28пЃ­M (0.19 to 0.43). This molecule could be a new
pharmacological alternative for the treatment of cysticercosis, therefore; it is important to
continue with its further evaluation, assessing its in vivo efficacy and biopharmaceutical
properties.

Carica papaya belongs to the family of Caricaceae and several species of Caricaceae have
been used as remedy against a variety of diseases. The present study was to determine the
effect of aqueous extract of C. papaya leaf in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats.
Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats (250-300g) using a single intraperitoneal injection
of STZ (60mg/Kg). Experimental groups of non diabetic (ND) and diabetic (D) rats received
aqueous extract of C. papaya doses (3.5, 7.5 and 15 g/500 ml) for 30 days while other group
ND and D received water for the same length of time. At the end of treatment, the animals
were sacrificed by decapitation and blood sample was collected. Level of serum glucose,
cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol concentrations were determined by using
spectrometric methods. Level of insulin was assayed by an ELISA kit. Treatment with extract
of C. papaya reduced a dose-dependent manner level of glucose in D rats. Plasma insulin
levels were increased by treatment in ND but not modify in D rats. Additionally, C. papaya
diminished the triglyceride level in D rats. The results indicated that aqueous extract of C.
papaya showed a clear hypoglycaemic effect in diabetic rats. Such an effect cannot be
mediated by an enhanced insulin secretion.

Cyclosporine (CsA) is an immunosuppressive agent, selectively adjust the role of helper T
lymphocytes. To establish differences between plasma concentrations of CsA at steady state
in pediatric patients treated with acceptance or rejection of renal transplantation and to
determine population pharmacokinetic parameters of CsA in pediatric patients. We included
64 patients between 3 and 18y, belonging to the renal transplant program of the INP. The
first 59 days of CsA concentrations were 731, with acceptance of RT, 262 (81%) were
subtherapeutic, 55 (17%) therapeutic and 6 (2%) toxic vs patients with toxic rejection of RT,
in whom 309 (75 %) were subtherapeutic, 78 (19%) therapeutics and 21 (9%) toxic
statistically significant differences p = 0.04. From 60 to 180 days were 794 concentrations,
which in patients with acceptance of RT: 233 (77%) were subtherapeutics; 63 (21%)
therapeutics and 5 (2%) toxics vs patients with rejection of RT who: 357 (72%) were
subtherapeutic, 98 (20%) therapeutics and 38 (8%) toxic with p = 0.01, statistically significant.
Of > 180 days were 432 CsA concentrations, in patients with acceptance of RT; 104 (59%)
were subtherapeutic; 60 (34%) therapeutics and 12 (7%) toxic vs patients with rejection of RT
in which 138 (54%) concentrations were subtherapeutic; 89 (35%) therapeutics and 27 (11%)
toxic p = 0.34, which were not significant. Conclusions: 1.-There are significant differences
between plasma subtherapeutic, therapeutic and toxic CsA concenbtrations within the two
groups and among subjects with rejection and acceptance of RT were more marked toxic
concentrations in patients with rejection RT, which were significantly higher, so they could not
fit a pharmacokinetic model. 2.- To adjust the dose should be individualized and based on
pharmacokinetic parameters of this population.

Rodent ovariectomy is used as a model to test estrogenic activity, the haemostatic changes after
this surgery, have not been fully characterized yet. This work evaluated changes in uterus and in
the coagulation tests: prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT),
thrombin clotting time (TT), and fibrinogen concentration (FIB) after ovariectomy of adult female
CD1 mice and Wistar rats. Uteri involution was determined by uterine weight (Uw), before
ovariectomy (control) and on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 16, and 21 after it. PT, aPTT, TT and FIB were
estimated the same days, using modifications of conventional human techniques. For both
species ovariectomy decreased Uw since day 1 to day 9, the uterine involution from day 9 to 21
did not show significant changes and reached their Uw lowest values. After day 1 from surgery the
mice hemostatic parameters changed (PT= +10%(P<0.02); aPTT= +53%(P < 0.001);TT= 24%(P<0.005); and FIB= +67%(P<0.0001). Rats at is stage, showed significant changes only in
TT= -13%, (P<0.01) and FIB (+65%; P<0.0001). In mice PT from days 3 to 21 were decreased to
~11% (P<0.01) without recovering to control values. The rats PT values slightly increased from
day 5 to day 9 (пЃѕ2%; P<0.05) returning to control values on day 16. Mice aPTT values decreased
at days 7-9 to 14-15% (P<0.05), and on day 21, 24% (P<0.05). The rats aPTT values decreased
(23%, 18%, and 20%; P<0.01) on days 5, 7, and 16, respectively recovering after 21 days. After
day 21, mice TT was still decreased by 14% (P<0.01) without recovery. FIB recovery to control
values was after 9 days for mice and after 16 for rats. Ovariectomy differently altered mainly PT
and aPTT of both species. The observed changes were more pronounced in mice, suggesting
species inherent hemostatic differences that need to be taken into account in the experimenal
design.

This work evaluated the effects of chronic treatment (CT) with 17Гџ-estradiol (E2) and the 17Гџaminoestrogen pentolame (AEP) on prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time
(aPTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen concentration (FIB) in male and ovariectomized (Ovx)
Wistar rats exploring gender pharmacological response differences. Rats (n=12-18) were treated
every third day during three months, with: E2 (1, 10, 100 Вµg/kg), AEP (1, 10, 100, 500 Вµg/kg) or
vehicle (propylenglycol 1 ml/kg). PT, aPTT, TT, and FIB were measured according to previously
standardized techniques. In male rats E2 increased PT (4-7%;P<0.05), whereas, in Ovx rats E2
and AEP decreased it (E2=3-4%; AEP=5-9%; P<0.05). E2 decreased males aPTT (9%; 100пЃ­g/kg;
P<0.05) and AEP dose dependetly increased it (5-16%;P<0.05). In Ovx animals, E2 did not induce
significant changes on aPTT, whereas AEP increased it (8-13%;P<0.05). In male and Ovx rats E2
and AEP decreased TT. In male: E2 and AEP decreased it ~5% with 100 and 500пЃ­g/Kg
respectively (P<0.05) and in Ovx, both steroids decreased it in a dose dependent manner being E2
more potent than AEP (E2 12-23%; AEP 6-13%;P<0.05). E2 and AEP decreased FIB, the effects
of E2 were similar to those elicited by AEP. The FIB decreases were more pronounced in male
(15-18%) than in Ovx (3-15%), however in Ovx the effects were dose dependent. The FIB
significant decreases produced by both estrogens on Ovx rats were obtained with the lowest
doses with a tendecy to be reverted by dose increasing. E 2 and AEP chronically administered
induced differential responses of the PT and aPTT hemostatic parameters of male and Ovx
showing a gender influence on the pharmacological response of estrogens on the hemostatic
system.

Arylethanolamine compounds are commonly applied in the modulation of activity of biological
systems. It is well-known that this kind of compounds has action in adrenergic or
dopaminergic systems in mammals. In this work, we synthesized an arylethanolamine boron
containing compound which had shown high affinity by adrenoceptors in previous in silico
studies. Then, we characterized the compound by using melting point determination, thin
layer silica chromatography; infrared, raman and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
With the aim of determine the acute toxicology profile (lethal dose) of the compound, this was
intraperitoneally administered in male CD1 mice weighting 25 to 30 g. Thus, we found a
LD50 of 862 mg/kg, which is higher than determined for other arylethilamines. However, we
also observed a sedative effect in mice which were administered with dose greater than 1
mg/kg. Additional studies are necessary for elucidating the mechanism for this sedative
effect.

During the development of the rat there are changes in the participation of adrenergic
receptors in the regulation of vascular tone. Thus it has been found a reduction of the aortic
ОІ-adrenergic response when adolescent and adult rats were compared, although the relative
participation of each subtype of ОІ-adrenergic receptor in it was not yet completely evaluated.
With the aim of provide additional information about this topic, responses in aorta from rats
of 3 weeks, 6 weeks (prepuberty in both cases) and 15 weeks old (adult) precontracted with
-6
-9
-4
phenylephrine (10 M) and relaxed with isoproterenol (10 -10 M, non-selective ОІadrenergic receptor agonist) in the presence or absence of subtype-selective ОІ-adrenergic
antagonists, were studied. The results shown that CGP 12177A ( 1-adrenergic antagonist)
did not modify the isoproterenol response in any age-group of rats. On the other hand,
pretreatment with ICI 118,551 ( 2-adrenergic antagonist) inhibited the isoproterenolresponse in the three groups of rats but the antagonism was competitive in the younger and
non-competitve in the adult animals. Interestingly, a higher inhibition of the isoproterenol
response was observed when CGP 12177A and ICI 118,551 where administer together
suggesting a synergic interaction between the two sybtypes of receptors. On the other hand,
BRL 37344 ( 3-adrenergic receptor agonist) elicited relaxation only in aortic rings from
prepuberty-rats. In conclusion, changes in the ОІ-adrenergic receptor mediated aortic
response during development of the rat is associated with loss of ОІ3-adrenergic subtype
participation and change in the affinity of the ОІ2-adrenergic subtype of receptors. Further
experiments are nedded to explain the potential synergic interaction between ОІ1- and ОІ2adrenergic subtypes observed when the two respective antagonists were employed together

It was evaluated the antinociceptive and anxiolytic properties of ethanol extract and fractions
completely polar, moderately polar and nonpolar of Trichaptum biforme mycelium. The
mycelium was grown in a culture for Trichaptum biform contained in a 10 L bioreactor for 15
days. It was made an ethanol extraction of the mycelium and fractionated with hexane, ethyl
acetate and ethanol. NIH male mice were used (25-30 g), which were pre-treated with 10, 30,
50, 100, 150, 300 and 450 mg/kg ip of the crude extract or the fractions. It was assessed the
antinociceptive activity by phasic pain test and anxiolytic activity using open-field exploratory
activity, elevated plus maze and perforated board paradigms. The results obtained shows
that the whole extract and the fractions decrease the number of abdominal constrictions.
Regarding the anxiolytic activity, only the dose of 450 mg/kg was effective. The whole extract
and the fractions of Trichaptum biform present antinociceptive and anxiolytic activities.

Structural cardiovascular changes are observed in animal models of renovascular
hypertension, and angiotensin II (ATII) is known to promote widespread trophic actions. We
analyzed the microscopic morphology of kidneys, aorta and heart in rats with sham operation
(SO), and aortic coarctation for 7 (AC7) and 14 (AC14) days. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
and hear rate (HR) (recorded from the carotid artery) and plasma levels of ATII (quantified by
immunoassay) were also measured. Aortic coarctation increased DBP (values for SO, AC7
and AC14 were, respectively, 101В±2, 132В±4* and 136В±2* mm Hg; *P<0.05 vs SO) and, in
AC14, also HR (values for SO, AC7 and AC14 were, respectively, 366В±9 372В±17 and
415В±11** bpm; **P<0.05 vs SO and AC7), as well as plasma ATII (values for SO, AC7 and
AC14 were, respectively, 127В±0.3, 132.6В±1.6* and 130.5В±0.6* pg/ml; *P<0.05 vs SO); DBP
and plasma ATII, however, did not differ in both groups of coarcted animals. Left Kidneys
from AC7 developed overall necrosis which almost fully reverted in AC14. Hypertrophy and
hyperplasia (i.e. increased number of medial smooth muscle layers) was observed in aorta of
coarcted animals with hyperplasia -but not hypertrophy- being partially reverted in AC14;
these changes reflected as an increased wall/lumen relationship (0.168В±0.009, 0.248В±0.018*
and 0.300В±0.050* for SO, AC7 and AC14, respectively; * P<0.05 vs SO). In the heart, AC7 and
AC14 resulted in partial and overall hypertrophy, respectively. Data may suggest a link
between increased circulating ATII and hypertension, renal necrosis, vascular hypertrophy
and hyperplasia, and cardiac hypertrophy. With the exception of hypertension and vascular
and cardiac hypertrophy, these changes are reverted probably as a result of compensatory
mechanisms in AC14 that need more study. Results might shed light into early mechanisms
of aortic coarctation-induced hypertension. Supported by CONACyT grant 57466.

The main etiology for death and for a great percent of morbidity in patients with diabetes is
vascular disease. Data suggest that diabetes is a risk factor for pulmonary hypertension. In
addition, pulmonary arteries from diabetic rats showed impaired relaxant response to
acetylcholine and an increase in superoxide production. Moreover, Insulin is known to be a
systemic vasodilator but its effect on the pulmonary circulation is not fully known. The aim of
the present study was to analyze whether insulin in vitro reverted endothelial dysfunction
found in pulmonary arteries from diabetic rats. Methods. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were
randomly divided into a control (saline) and a diabetic group (70mg/kg streptozotocin). After 6
wk, intrapulmonary arteries were cut into rings. To further determine the role of insulin in
regulating vascular smooth muscle tone during diabetes, pulmonary artery rings with
endothelium-intact were incubated with or without 100 nM insulin for 4 hour and then were
mounted for isometric tension recording. After equilibration, rings were precontracted by
-9
0.1ВµM phenylephrine, and concentration-response curves to insulin or acetylcholine (1x10 -4
1x10 ) were performed by cumulative addition. Endothelial function was tested by the
relaxant response to acetylcholine.Results. We have shown that pulmonary artery
vasodilatation with insulin occurs in a dose-dependent manner; also, insulin-dependent
relaxation was similar in diabetic or control artery rings. With insulin in vitro completely
normalized DM-induced endothelial dysfunction (DM 85 В±4% vs. control 80 В±3%).
Conclusions. These effects could be clinically important for diabetic patients using insulin who
have some chronic lung disease.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) recently has been implicated as a risk factor in Pulmonary Arterial
Hypertension (PAH). In diabetic rat induced-streptozotocin model, diabetes induces
endothelial dysfunction in pulmonary arteries due to a reduction in the bioavailability of NO,
an effect that might explain the link between DM and PAH. Serotonin is known to be a
pulmonary vasoconstrictor but its effect during DM is not known. The aim of the present study
was to analyze whether serotonin plays a role in the genesis of PAH diabetes induced.
Methods. We studied the effects of serotonin in vitro on isolated rat pulmonary artery with
endothelium-intact in a set up for isometric tension recording. DM was induced in male
Sprague-Dawley rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (70mg/kg). 6-8 wk
later, pulmonary artery rings from control and diabetic rats were isolated, and vascular
responses to serotonin were obtained in the presence and absence of Ketanserin, SOD,
Apocinin, Indometacin and NS398. The Fulton index (weight ratio:right ventricle/left ventricle
+ septum) was calculated to assess diabetes-induced right ventricular hypertrophy. Results.
DM group shown hyperresposiveness to serotonin (Emax 101В±3 vs. 50В±2%). This effect is
independent of the endothelium and was prevented by indometacin, NS398, SOD and
apocinin. Right ventricular hypertrophy was indicated by the Fulton index (0.38В±0.02 vs.
0.31В±0.01). Conclusions. Our results further strengthen the link between diabetes and
pulmonary hypertension, and appears to be related to COX-2 derived metabolites and
NADPH oxidase-induced superoxide production.

The stability of the autonomic tonus is an important condition during anesthesia and surgical
procedures, because of its influence on cardiac and respiratory functions. The quantification
of heart rate variability (HRV), both in the time and frequency domains, is a proven procedure
to evaluate the sympathetic / parasympathetic balance. The aim of the present study was to
evaluate the autonomic activity in dogs under two different anesthetic procedures (Propofol
or Ketamine-Xylazine) through parameters of HRV. Twelve healthy dogs (age: 2-5 years;
body weight: 6-8 kg) were used. Electrocardiographic recordings were made before and
during propofol (5 mg/kg) or Ketamine-Xylazine (0.1mg/kg - 2 mg/kg) anesthesia. Electric
signals were processed (prototype electric signal processor) to obtain the following
parameters of HRV: standard deviation of the NN (R-R) intervals (SDNN) and the square root
of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals (RMSSD); as well as a power
spectrum analysis of low (LF 0.05 a 0.15 Hz) and high (HF 0.15 a 0.40 Hz) frequencies.
Statisticals comparisons of these parameters under the different experimental conditions
were made by means of a two way ANOVA with repeated measures followed by MannWhitney and Wilcoxon tests. Analysis of data showed an increase in LF power (indicative of
higher sympathetic / lower parasympathetic activity) under the anesthetic procedures
(p=0.01), with higher values for Ketamine-Xylazine (p<0.05). Besides, a significant decrease
of SDNN occurred under both anesthetic procedures, though Ketamine-Xylazine (125.82 ms
to 30.01 ms) elicited a significantly higher decrease than Propofol (139.76 ms to 90.80 ms).
These results suggest a better autonomic balance under Propofol than under KetamineXylazine anesthesia.

In previous studies we have shown that the methanol extract from Struthanthus venetus (Sv)
leaves, known as "graft or matapalo", induced hypotensive and cardiotoxic effects over the
anesthetized rats. Moreover, the same extract also significantly decreased triglycerides and
cholesterol blood levels. Supporting the use of botanical extracts as botanical drugs, in the
present study we examined the effect of a hydrometanolic extract from Sv leaves on blood
pressure, lipid profiles, and glucose of rats with metabolic syndrome induced by high-fructose
diet. Two adult rat groups were studied: a control group received regular rodent Chow
(Purina) and drinking water ad libitum and other fructose group was fed on 20% fructose diet
and 20% solution in drinking water. After 8 weeks the fructose group developed signs of
metabolic syndrome, including elevated abdominal fat deposition, abnormal plasma lipid
profile, and hypertension. This last group showed that the hydrometanolic extract
administered
orally (310
mg/kg)
everyday
during
two
months,
produces
antihypertriglyceridemic and antihypertensive effects. In this last effect probably the
polyphenol compound identified to NMR 1H and NMR C (CD3OD) as catechin, is included.
These results suggest that the hydrometanolic extract of Sv contain polyphenols with
potential properties to treatment of metabolic syndrome, which need further investigation.

The nervous system and the immune system mount a variety of essential, coordinated
responses to danger. The immune system signals the brain to respond to danger of viruses,
bacteria and parasites through and elaborate system, and communicate through
neurotransmitters, endocrine hormones and cytokines. Cytokines have a pivotal role in
orchestrating the inflammatory and are essential in restoring homeostasis. The proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-О± and IL-1ОІ can be considered the a multifunctional and
pleiotropic cytokine due to its widespread effects on immune signaling, CNS functions, and its
prominence in many disease states. Inhibition of their action in CNS may provide therapeutic
benefits in several diseases. Different chemical structural types of natural products exhibit
anti-inflammatory activity and are considered to be potential drug candidates against the
inflammation-related pathological processes. The capsaicin a major ingredient of hot pepper,
is considered to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. BALB/c mice were exposed to LPS
application (250Вµg/100g) in order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity capsaicin in CNS.
Five different groups were used: (i) control group (none stimulus); (ii) LPS; (iii) LPSdexamethasone; (iv) LPS- capsaicin (1.28 Вµg/kg) and (v) vehicle control. The brain was
added to 0.25–1.0 ml of cold Iscove’s culture medium containing 5% fetal calf serum and a
cocktail enzyme inhibitor. Total protein was mechanically dissociated from tissue using an
ultrasonic cell disruptor, sonicated samples were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm at 4В°C for 10 min.
Supernatants were removed and stored at 4В°C until an ELISA was performed. Capsaicin
after peripheral administration reduced TNF-О± and IL-1ОІ levels significantly p<0.001. As well
as the releasing nitric oxide was significantly inhibited (p<0.005). These data suggest that the
capsaicin can be block the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and maybe inhibit iNOS.
So this molecule may be promising drug for targeted inhibition inflammatory diseases.

The search for new anti-cancer drugs is one of the most prominent research fields of natural
products. Active isolated compounds of a variety of alga have been studied with promising
results. In this respect products obtained from the genus Sargassum, that is distributed in
tropical coasts, have shown to posses antibacterial, antifungal and anti-tumor activity. This
study was undertaken to evaluate if extracts from the Sargassum hystrix variety buxifolium
Chauvi (ShbCh) brown alga, exclusive of the Gulf of Mexico, could inhibit the proliferation of
human cervical cancer cell lines. For this purpose we used 20 different carotenoid extracts
and evaluated their effect on the proliferation of INBL and CALO cell lines. Growth inhibition
was evaluated through a crystal violet assay and cell cycle dynamics through flow cytometry.
Our results showed that the extracts had growth inhibitory activity and that one of them (No.
8) presented the most potent activity against both cell lines. We also demonstrated that
ShbCh extracts induced cell cycle arrest in the S stage and inhibited entering into G2. The
present results could open a new field of anti-tumor research for ShbCh active compounds
and their possible application on cervical cancer therapy.

Introduction: In the palliative care of cancer treatment, the principal objective is to mitigate
symptoms to improve quality of life in patients, one of the main symptoms is the pain,
according to their nature can have huge differences, depending on its intensity goes from
intolerable to tolerable. Objective: Justified palliative treatment with subcutaneous morphine
in cancer patients in PALIA institute in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. Methodology: This
study is descriptive, co-relational, prospective and observational. The universe are patients of
the institute for palliative care PALIA, period June 2008 – July 2010, working with a non
probability sample who was intentional, having the inclusion criteria, patients with a neoplasic
disease, being older and having signed the informed consent. Results: Review the individual
patient record, 92.3% reported pain as main symptom and is chronic in 88.5% of sample.
Morphine was used as primary treatment in 42.3% of cases. Patients whose prescription
consist analgesics primarily 76.9% of these, only 5% were treated with an analgesic that
does not belong to opiates. Patients had other symptoms like nausea, vomiting and
constipation they are suggested can be avoided making a change to subcutaneous rout. On
the other hand, few drugs given in addition to morphine, 61.5% of patients receiving
medicines for stomach, caused perhaps by the excessive oral administration, 34.6% received
laxatives drugs, 26.9% consume drugs to prevent nausea and vomiting, which interfere with
the success of the common rout, 53.84% of patients receiving more than one drug of these
three categories. Conclusion: The dose of morphine is adjustable according to intensity of
pain. Subcutaneous administration, for its accessibility from primary care, is the best
alternative in the palliative treatment when the oral route is not possible, and allows the
multidisciplinary team to make a comprehensive patient care.

Cancer is a major problem of public health. In the search for new antitumoral drugs, a series
of three new diazabicyclic amides derived from phenylacetylricinoleic acid were synthesized from
castor oil and trans-4-hydroxy-(S)-proline using a chemoenzymatic method. These compounds
were provisionally named PhAR-DBH-Me, PhAR-DBH-Bn and PhAR-DBH-EtOH. The
antineoplastic properties of this compounds were evaluated in mouse leukemic cell lines P388,
J774, WEHI-3, human leukemic cell line K562 and mouse normal bone marrow cells. The
synthetic procedure involved base-catalyzed methanolysis of castor oil to afford methyl ricinoleate,
phenylacetylation and regioselective enzymatic hydrolysis of the methyl ester to yield
phenylacetylricinoleic acid (1,2). (1S,4S)-2-methyl-, (1S,4S)-2-hydroxyethyl- and (1S,4S)-2bencyl-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1] heptanes were synthesized according to the literature (3). Finally,
diazabicyclic amides PhAR-DBH-Me, PhAR-DBH-EtOH and PhAR-DBH-Bn were synthesized by
reaction of phenylacetylricinoleic acid with (1S,4S)-2-alkyl-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes by the
mixed anhydride method. The sulforhodamine B assay for cytotoxicity screening showed
significantly high cytotoxic effects of PhAR-DBH-Me and PhAR-DBH-EtOH on leukemic cells and
low toxicity toward mouse bone marrow cells. This remarkably selective cytotoxic effect highlights
the antineoplastic potential of both new compounds.

Chiranthodendron pentadactylon (Ch. p.) known as (―flor de manita‖ and ―macpaxochitl‖) is a
plant commonly used in folk medicine to control heart disease and gastrointestinal disorders
such as diarrhea and dysentery. Today, this plant for its medicinal properties is a species
threatened with extinction. Aim of the study: Is assess the cardiovascular activity which
supports the therapeutic use of Ch. p. to treat hypertension. Materials and methods: a
methanolic extract from Ch. p. flowers (MEChpF), was evaluated on blood pressure of
normotensive and hypertensive rats, in aortic rings preparation (ARP) and on perfused
mesenteric vascular bed preparation (PMVBP). Results: Oral doses (100 mg/kg) or an
intravenous dose (31 mg/kg) of MEChpF induced hypotensive and antihypertensive effects in
normotensive and hypertensive rats, respectively. MEChpF shows vasorelaxation
endothelium-dependent on the contraction induced by norepinephrine in ARP and PMVBP.
This vasorelaxation is mediated by nitric oxide because it is inhibited by N-nitro-L-Arginine
Methyl Esther. A flavonoid was isolated by bioassay-guided purification, and showed
moderate cardiovascular activity. Conclusion: The results of the present study lend some
support to the popular report for the medicinal use of the flowers of Ch. p. in the control of
blood pressure. However, the failure to identify all substances with cardiovascular activity,
and the quick loss of life of this plant, can negatively affect the discovery of new drugs. Grant

medicinales. Through this study, the principal aim is the isolation and characterization of
phyto-compounds active of Malva parviflora L. First were extracted the primary metabolites of
the roots with a solvent mixture of water/ethanol. After which the extracts were evaporated
and concentrated, and finally were separated by column chromatography. Biomolecules
5
present in the fractions were characterized by thin layer chromatography. The reagents used
were FeCl3, Benedict's reagent, reagent Ninhydrin, phenylhydrazine reagent, JensonВґs
reagent, NBS and Draguendorff reagent. The results showed positive tests for flavonoids,
alkaloids and sugars. The obtained fractions were analyzed for the amount of total phenols
6
using the modified method Folin-Ciocalteau and for antioxidant activity was using the
method DPPH. Results showed that the fraction 1 presented high values of total phenols and
antioxidant activity (77.6 mg/mL, 89.00 mg/mL respectively). These results are promising as
a phyto-pharmaceutical from root of Malva parviflora L. Agradecimiento: COECyTJAL-UDG

mouse mutant versus wild mouse, this response being higher in the mutant mice, suggesting
a greater sensitivity in response to angiotensin II in this mouse compared to wild mice

Lymphoma is a malignant process, which now has shown a significant increase in the
incidence rate. Therefore studies are essential in experimental models for understanding
mechanisms of alteration, particularly marker molecules for early diagnosis and disease
monitoring, and so have the tools for research and evaluation of anticancer agents.
The aim of this study was to characterize an experimental model of lymphoma induced by
7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) in rats by the presence of tumor markers. Female
Wistar rats received DMBA using 3 different schemes (P.O., 5 days a week for several
weeks): group 1, 20 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks; group 2, 20 mg/kg/day for 5 weeks; and group 3,
10 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks. Animals were left to evolve during 9, 6 and 6 weeks post-DMBA,
respectively. Histopathology and cytotoxicity-tumor markers, such as gamma-glutamyl
transpeptidase (пЃ§-GT) acid phosphatase (AP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alphafetoprotein (AFP) and lipoperoxidation were measured. Histological examination showed that
in group 1, was lymphoma preferentially induced, in addition to metastases, although survival
was only 20%. In group 2, lymphoma was found more than breast cancer, increasing survival
to 60%. With lower dose of DMBA (group 3), the most common cancer was breast, but the
survival was 40%. In all cases, tumor markers were elevated over the control value, higher in
lymphoma, as evidenced by the пЃ§-GT and AP. CEA increased by 15, 13 and 8.5 times, in
groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively, while AFP showed the greatest increase in breast cancer
(400%). In preliminary studies prednisone and vincristine were administered, and it was
noted that prednisone prevented the elevation of CEA. Increased lipoperoxidation in liver and
kidney was around 80% and 170% respectively, suggesting a strong association with
oxidative stress. This experimental model may be useful tool for the preclinical study of
antineoplastic drugs.Project funded by FOMIX CONACYT-ZAC-2009-01-121753

Midazolam (MDZ) is a widely known benczodiazepine minor tranquilizer. It is important in
pediatric intensive care and analgesia for newborn babies as well as premature infants as an
antiepileptic and anxiolytic drug. We have previously shown that MDZ sc injected in mice
from postnatal (P) day P8 to P29 induces histological alterations in cerebellar cortex. The aim
of this work was to investigate if MDZ administrated from P8 to P15-days of age induces
histological changes in the developing neonatal cerebellar cortex of mice, and if those
changes are similar to the ones induced by exposure to MDZ from P8 to P29 days of age.
Two pup ICR strain mice groups were sc injected daily from day P8 to P15. The first group
(MDZ) with single daily MDZ doses (2.0 mg/kg/bw) and the second group (C) with saline
solution. Mice (10 MDZ and 10 C) were killed in a CO2 atmosphere on P16 day; the
cerebellum was fixed in 2.5 % glutaraldehyde, post-fixed in OsO4, and embedded in epoxy
resin. The semifine sections obtained were stained whit toluidine blue and observed under a
comparative light microscope. In the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex of MDZ group
numerous and voluminous cells were observed. A reduced number of cell bodies in Purkinje
neurons were observed in the Purkinje cell layer, any ones had shrink cytoplasm,
hyperstained, and with degeneration signs. The nucleus showed atypical heterochromatin
distribution, and irregular nuclear surface. The dendrite tree showed swelling branches. The
cerebellar glomeruli and myelin fibers showed delayed differentiation. The heterochromatin of
granular cells showed atypical distribution. These alterations resembled those showed in the
cerebellar cortex of mice treated from postnatal P8 to P29 days with MDZ. The results show
that postnatal exposure (P8 to P15) to MDZ produces histological changes in the cerebellar
cortex similar to those induced by postnatal exposure to MDZ from P8 to P29 days.

Benzodiazepines (BDZ) are widely used as ansiolytic, and to treat insomnia, muscular spam,
stress-related disorder, epilepsy, preoperative preparation, premature activity of the utero,
eclamptic and preecalmptic states; in pregnant epileptic women or in those with physiological
or psychiatric conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in fetal mouse
cerebellar cortex caused by exposure to DZ during gestation and persisting until the 12th
month of age. Two gestating ICR strain mice groups were injected, the first group (DZ) with
single daily doses of DZ of 2.7 mg/kg/bw/sc; the second group (C) with saline solution.
Offspring's were spontaneously born and wet-nursed by their mothers. Each litter was
reduced to 6 males and 2 females. Adult mice (12 months-old) of DZ and C group were killed
in CO2 atmosphere, the cerebellum was removed, fixed in 10% formaldehyde or Zamboni
fixers, embedded in Paraplast; the sections obtained were stained with H-E and observed
under a comparative light microscope. In the cerebellar cortex of DZ group, scare Purkinje
cells with a disoriented dendritic tree and an increased number of cells in molecular layer
(p<0.05) were observed. Results showed that prenatal exposure to DZ produces in the 12
months-old mice permanent histological alterations in the cerebral cortex.

Hormones are one of the most important factors regulating blood pressure in females. The
effects of progesterone on cardiovascular system are not totally understood. We investigated
the effect of medroxyprogesterone (MPA), a progestin used in the hormone replacement
therapy, on vascular alpha-1 adrenergic receptors during hypertension by nitric oxide
deficiency in rats. Female mature Wistar rats were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy (OVX
rats). Three weeks after surgery animals were randomized to the following treatments: a first
group OVX (without treatment); a second OVX+MPA (15 mg/ kg/ week/ 4 weeks); OVX+LN
П‰
(L-NAME, L -N-methyl arginine esther, at a dose 75 mg/ day/ 7 weeks); OVX+LN + MPA and
a group same age and weight were used as controls (CTRL rats). Systolic blood pressure
(SBP) was measured by a tail-cuff method. After treatments, aortic vessels were isolated and
contracted with phenylephrine; in some experiments selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptors
antagonists (BMY 7378, cloroethylclonidine and RS100329) were used. The CTRL, OVX and
OVX+MPA groups were normotensive along the study; OVX+LN and OVX+LN+MPA were
hypertensive until MPA administration started, showing higher SBP. Concentration-response
curves to phenylephrine revealed endothelial dysfunction caused by ovariectomy. BMY 7378
and RS100329 showed non-competitive antagonism in aortic rings with endothelium; while in
endothelium-denuded rings antagonists showed competitive antagonism mainly in the
OVX+LN+MPA group. The pKB value for BMY 7378 (alpha-1D adrenoreceptor antagonist)
was higher than that reported (pKB 8.5 vs 8.2); while pKB value for RS100329 (alpha-1A
adrenoreceptor antagonist) was lower than that reported (pKB 8.2 vs 9.6). Cloroethylclonidine
did not evoke curve displacement in any group. This study revealed that MPA elicits effects
on affinity of vascular alpha-1 adrenoreceptors during hypertension in female ovariectomized
rats.

In Mexico are used a great variety of plants for treatment of the diabetes and have been
carried out studies of some of them in animals, however not all present same effectiveness.
The tlaltipìzol is however jicama species that is used for treatment of diabetes in several
states of the Mexican Republic, they have not been carried out studies etnomedics that
demonstrate the above mentioned. For such a reason the present work is determine the
biological activity of tlaltipizol. Segments of 1-2 cm of longitude of uterus of Wistar rats,
females, were obtained that were in estro. Tissues placed in chambers for isolated organ,
o
with De JalГіn solution, to 32 C, pH 7.4 and bubbled with carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2).
The contractile effect was registered for a connected transducer to a polygraph Grass. Dose-8
-4
Response-Curve (DRC) was carried out at 5-HT (1x 10 to1x10 M) alone or in presence of
the tlaltipizol juice. The results show that the tlaltipizol decrease the contractile activity of
uterine isolated muscle and in presence of 5-HT in the last concentrations, for such a reason
we conclude that possibly jicama this acting as antagonist of serotonergic receptors.

Low brain serotonin (5-HT) levels between attacks (possibly promoting receptor sensitization) and
high circulating levels of cortisol are remarkable features of migraine. Sensitized 5-HT7 receptors
mediating craniovascular dilatation could be the target of massively released 5-HT during migraine
headaches1. This work analyzed the effect of chemical lesion of the central 5-HT system and
chronic corticosterone (CTC) treatment on dilatory responses induced by the 5-HT1B/1D and 5-HT7
receptor agonist, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), in the middle meningeal artery (MMA) of rats.
5-CT-induced meningeal dilatation in rats pretreated with the 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist, GR127935, is mediated by 5-HT7 receptors2. Wistar rats were pretreated with desipramine and
anesthetized; then, they received an i.c.v. injection of either vehicle (VEH; 1% ascorbic acid) or
5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT); this treatment drastically decreases brain 5-HT levels.3 Six
days later, animals were treated daily with vehicle (Veh; 1 ml/kg, i.p.) or CTC (20 mg/kg, i.p.) for
two weeks. Five days after treatments, animals were anesthetized and prepared for recording of
blood pressure, i.v. drug administration and measurement of blood flow in the MMA by laserDoppler flowmetry. After stabilization, rats received GR-127935 (1 mg/kg, i.v.) alone or combined
with the 5-HT7 receptor antagonist, SB-269970 (1 mg/kg, i.v.); 15 min later, a concentrationresponse (C-R) relationship for the effects of 5-CT (10nM-1mM) on vascular conductance in the
MMA was constructed in each group (VEH-Veh, 5,7-DHT-Veh, VEH-CTC and 5,7-DHT-CTC); 5CT was applied topically on the exposed dura mater encephali. 5-CT produced concentrationdependent increases in conductance in all groups; responses did not differ between groups
though a trend toward a decrease was evident in 5,7-DHT-pretreated animals. 5-CT responses
were similarly blocked by SB-269970. Supported by NIH Grant 5R01TW006622.

Serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated in migraine but the nature of its involvement remains
unknown. This study analyzed the effect of 5-HT7 receptor activation on c-fos-like
immunoreactivity (c-fos-LI) induced by intracisternal (i.c.) capsaicin in the trigeminal nucleus
caudalis (Sp5C) and on blood flow in the middle meningeal artery (MMA) of anesthetized rats.
Animals received subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of LP-211 (a 5-HT7 agonist; 10 mg/kg), SB656104A (a 5-HT7 antagonist; 3 mg/kg), and SB-656104A (3 mg/kg) + LP-211 (10 mg/kg). After
20-40 min, animals received an i.c. injection of capsaicin (0.1 ВµM) or its vehicle (100 Вµl; 20 Вµl/min
for 5 min; both). Two hours later, rats were perfused, and the brains processed for c-fos
immunohistochemistry. Other animals were prepared for recording of blood flow in the MMA using
a laser-Doppler probe, and blood pressure and heart rate. These variables were measured after
local application of LP-211 (0.1 nM-1mM) in animals that had received intravenous (i.v.) vehicle (1
ml/kg), SB-269970 (a 5-HT7 antagonist; 1 mg/kg) or topical CGRP8-37 (a CGRP antagonist; 100
ВµM). Capsaicin but not its vehicle induced strong c-fos-LI in laminas I and II (LI-II) of Sp5C. LP211 had no effect on c-fos-LI but strongly increased the response to i.c. capsaicin in Sp5C (LI-II);
this effect was abolished by SB-656104A; the antagonist also abolished c-fos-LI induced by
capsaicin thus suggesting involvement of endogenous 5-HT. LP-211 produced concentrationdependent increases in meningeal blood flow; this response was inhibited by both SB-269970 and
CGRP8-37 thus implying involvement of 5-HT7 receptors and CGRP release. The 5-HT7 receptor
could be a target for the prophylactic treatment of migraine. Supported by NIH grant

Auranofin is a gold-derived salt which has been used in clinic to treat rheumatoid arthritis
(Ann Rheum Dis. 1976. 35:251-7); currently, its possible use as anticancer agent is being
assessed (Biochem. Pharmacol. 2010. 79:90-101). Since this drug has a high affinity for
selenocysteine, it is a potent selenoprotein inhibitor. Thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR)
is a selenoenzyme that transfers electrons from NADPH to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and
to oxidized thioredoxin. In its reduced form, both substrates are essential for the maintenance
of redox homeostasis in cells. TGR has proposed as a pharmacologic target because it is the
only enzyme with this function in parasitic platyhelminths (Trends Parasitol. 2004. 20:340-6).
The TGR of Taenia crassiceps cysticerci purified to homogeneity is irreversibly inhibited with
10 nM Auranofin (Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 2004. 133:61-9). In vitro when T. crassiceps
cysticerci is exposed to Auranofin a lethal dose-dependent effect is found (Parasitol Res.
2010. 107:227-31), while the 100% of cysticerci population die after 12 h of exposure to a
concentration of 10 ВµM of this drug. In this study the GSH/GSSG ratio was determined and it
was observed that auranofin decreases the amount of total glutathione and the GSH/GSSG
ratio decreases from 7:1 in basal conditions to 2:1 in cysticerci treated, thus favoring a more
oxidative intracellular environment which would promote the death of the parasite. On the
other hand, in the case of the cysticercosis model, when this drug was administered to mice
infected with cysticerci, the number of cysticerci did not increase in relation to control. This
work was supported by research grant PAPIIT IN-220710-3 from DirecciГіn General de

The use of estrogens in contraception or in replacement therapy leads to an increased risk of
venous thrombosis. In the present study we explored the effect of ethinylestradiol (EE) and
17Гџ-estradiol (E2) on coagulation screening tests (CST): prothrombin time (PT), activated
partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and coagulation factors (CFVII, CFX, CFXI, and CFXII).
Male Wistar rats received subcutaneously different doses of EE or E 2 (1, 3, 10 and 30
mg/kg/sc) during three consecutive days and data were compared with vehicle administered
rats (propyleneglycol 0.3ml/sc; V). Plasma samples were obtained from iliac artery under
anesthesia and processed with a fibrintimer using appropriate reagents for each
determination. EE significantly increased PT and aPTT when compared with V: 8.5, 13, 15,
and 10%; and 32, 35, and 28%; (p<0.05), for each drug and dose tested, respectively. In
contrast, E2 had no effect on CST. EE significantly diminished the activity of FVII (10, 13, and
10%); FX (10, 9, 15, and 14%), and FXI (15, 17, 19, and 18%), when we compared with V
(p<0.05). E2 increased the activity of CFVII (7 % at 1 mg/kg, p<0.05), and CFXI (10, 14, 24,
and 24%, p<0.05), but caused a diminution of CFXII (9%; 10 mg/kg). Unlike E2, in our rat
model EE had effects on extrinsic, intrinsic and common coagulation pathways. The inhibitory
action of EE on CF, observed in these experiments is not consistent with other reports.
Future studies are necessary to identify how estrogens regulate the transcription of genes
involved on coagulation system.

Alcoholic liver cirrhosis, an irreversible disease, that causes oxidative stress (OxS) as a result
of increased reactive oxygen species, whose have been related to the the transition to liver
cancer which may be manifested through the presence of early tumor markers (ETM). In
order to know whether reducing OxS amending the ETM, we propose the use of antioxidant
extract from Crataegus oxyacantha to assess its hepatoprotective effect. In male Wistar rats
(200-250 g) was induced alcoholic liver cirrhosis model with ethanol (3 g/kg/day, P.O., for 12
weeks); injury indicators were used to determine alterations on liver function, such as enzyme
and cytotoxicity (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl
transpeptidase and lactic dehydrogenase), metabolic (bilirubin and liver glycogen), histology,
lipid peroxidation in liver and measurement of ETM as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), О±fetoprotein (AFP) and acid phosphatase (AP). In the model of cirrhosis was co-administered
extract of C. oxyacantha (100 mg/kg/day for 12 weeks) as a preventive antioxidant. Results
showed evidence of alterations in animals who received ethanol. In alcoholic cirrhosis, LPox
increased 3.2 times over the control, as well as пЃ§-GTP and ALT (43% and 164%
respectively); bilirubin increased by 4 times over control, while the glycogen storage was
depleted up to 17%, alterations which were partially prevented by C. oxyacantha. ETM were
increased in liver cirrhosis, compared to control, reaching up to 493% for CEA, 109% for AFP
and 38% for AP. C. oxyacantha modified the presence of these ETM, reducing its levels up to
96% for CEA, 75% for AFP and 4% for AP. Besides avoiding the magnitude of damage
induced by ethanol, C. oxyacantha prevented the increase in ETM, suggesting an additional
benefit by delaying a possible transition from cirrhosis to a tumor condition. Extract of C.
oxyacantha is a promising compound for the management of chronic liver damagen

Clinical research is an essential process to support the introduction of new health products,
which have to be safe and efficient. Since it involves human subjects, it has to be subject to
rigorous and compulsory monitoring using ethical guidelines that safeguard the integrity of
the participants. Currently, in clinical research carried out in Mexico, there are ethical
deficiencies that jeopardize the rights of participants and even the research itself. Therefore,
it is necessary to find the best way to carry out clinical trials to maximize benefits and
minimize risks. The rights, safety and well-being of the trial participant are the most important
considerations and should prevail over interests of science and society. Through the
application of questionnaires to Clinical Research Associates, this paper aims to place, bring
out and analyze the most frequent ethical deficiencies in Clinical Research that takes place
Mexican pharmaceutical industry. Based on the results it will be possible to reflect on their
origins, relevance and possible solution.

Polyamines (PAA), putrescine, spermidine and spermine, which are essential for
differentiation, growth and cell division, are natural constituents of animal, plants and bacteria
cells. The inhibition of PAA synthesis by inhibiting the enzymes that synthesize them has
been the logical approach of the strategies for the development of new chemotherapeutic
agents against pathological states of cell proliferation. Many inhibitors have been obtained,
especially of ornithine decarboxylase because it is the enzyme that regulates the biosynthetic
pathway and its inhibition may have optimal therapeutic outcomes. At present, efforts in this
field are focused on the development of better inhibitors of the enzymes involved in the
metabolism of PAA. The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic and antiproliferative
effects two L-ornithine analogues, N-Оґ-trifluoroacetyl-ornithine (NFAO) and N-Оґ- chloroacetylornithine (NCAO), on neoplastic mammalian cells in culture. The results showed that NCAO
caused cytotoxic effects on HeLa cells (cervical carcinoma) and HepG2 cells (human
hepatocarcinoma) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. In addition, the NCAO
caused inhibition of proliferation of HeLa cells. The NFAO caused cytotoxic effects on HepG2
cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner but was less efficient than NCAO. The
NFAO did not affect HeLa cells. Control Vero cells were unaffected by both treatments.

The accurate medical records avoid omissions and incomplete notes and / or mistaken notes,
which contributes also to avoid a current problem within the hospitals called Medication
Errors (ME). Those ME are often caused because the low quality of the clinical files which
means the file does not fulfill the requirements appointed by the NOM-168-SSA-1998. The
previous mentioned is also resulting in a poor medical attention to the patient, causing
adverse drug reactions or even death and the possibility of lawsuits against people related to
the health care. The aim of this study was to identify if there is a difference between
registration and implementation of prescription drugs before and after the implementation of a
drug monitoring system in the internal medicine specialty, it was developed in two periods
with three years of difference between each one; the study was retrospective, descriptive and
transversal and was realized in General Hospital "Dr. Miguel Silva "in the city of Morelia
MichoacГЎn. It included 107 medical indications from complete clinical records of October
2006 and 99 from January 2009; bearing in mind medicines prescribed but not applied, and
applied medicines that were not prescribed as well. Incompatibility was found among the
records of clinical prescription and implementation by nursing staff in both studied periods.
However, the comparison between the first and the last period shows a significant difference
2
of X (P = <0.0001), therefore is possible to assume that once and after the Pharmacological
Vigilance System was introduced the mentioned incompatibility decreased, which suggests
that after implementation of drug monitoring system this incompatibility decreased, providing
an improved quality of patient care, as demonstrated by some authors in similar studies.
Among the drugs involved in these two situations predominated antibiotics, diuretics, NSAIDs
and inhibitors of proton pump, also considered as drugs of abuse described in the literature.

The compound DL-HEPP has a broad profile of anticonvulsant activity. It protects mice and rats
against seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol, bicuculline, thiosemicarbazide, maximal
electroshock, kindling and in the genetic absence epilepsy rats of the Strasbourg model. It also
protects against the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) withdrawal syndrome, which shows an
extraordinary resistance to the classic antiepileptics. However, the mechanism underlying the
action of DL-HEPP is not known. To explore it, we made binding studies using DL-HEPP and a
series of phenyl alcohol amides (PAA). DLdid not displace 3H-GABA from GABAA receptors and only weakly displaced 3H-GABA and 3HCGP62349, a GABAB receptor antagonist, from GABAB receptors in rat brain crude synaptic

One out of thirteen prescriptions in primary care fail to provide accurate treatment and half are
potentially harmful. Reduce the proportion of diabetic and/or hypertensive patients who receive
wrong or inadequate prescriptions.Controlled trial study at a Mexican Institute of Social Security
family medicine clinic in Mexico City. The intervention introduced a service of "pharmacological
recommendations" given by pharmacists. Physicians that allowed access to medical records and
prescriptions for their patients with diabetes and/or hypertension were included. Sample size was
56 physicians in order to detect a 25% reduction in the proportion of patients who received
prescriptions with errors such as "clinical", "prescription filling" or "both." We included 69
physicians and pharmacists reviewed 161 prescriptions of 160 patients. 49% of patients received
prescriptions with at least one error that was detected by pharmacists. In 59% of patients
prescriptions showed "clinical" errors, 27% of patients’ prescriptions had "both" errors and 14% of
patients received prescriptions that were wrongly filled. "Clinical" errors that prevailed were
potential drug-drug interactions (D-DI), while most common error in "filling prescriptions" was ―lack
of information in the range of administration". For "both" errors "lack of information in the range of
administration‖ and potential D-DI were most common. In 43% of the revised prescriptions 132
errors were recorded. Most frequent drug groups were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
vitamins, antibiotics and lipid lowering. Only 19% of patients the physician corrected their
prescriptions before they were delivered. Conclusion: The impact of the intervention was less than
expected, however, it is necessary to improve the strategy and implement other actions to improve
physicianВґs prescriptions and consequently reduce the risk of patients.

Introduction. Popular Medicine have reported a variety of medicinal plants used in gastrointestinal
diseases. Objective. Demonstrate the hepatoprotective effect of a mixture of seven plants
(EHAM7) through liver and lipid profile, and histology in a model of experimental cirrhosis in rats.
Methodology The EHAM7 was obtained from the mixture of 7 plants: (Bidens odorata (Aceitilla),
Tecoma stans (Tronadora), Linum usitatissimum (Linaza), Cynara scolymus (Alcachofa),
Equisetum hyemale (Cola de Caballo), Peumus boldus (Boldo) y Rosmarinus officinalis L
(Romero). Groups of control rats and cirrhotic rats treated with and without the EHAM7, at 200 mg
/ kg for eight weeks. Subsequently, animals were sacrificed to assess serum lipid profile and
hepatic, and liver histologic studies. Results. The levels of ALT, AST, BD and BT were observed
increased while the PT and ALB decreased in cirrhotic rats, compared to other groups. Compared
to the levels of TG, CHOL, LDL and HDL showed a decrease in cirrhotic rats compared with
cirrhotic rats treated with EHAM7 whose levels were very similar to the control group. Histological
analysis showed: cytoarchitecture preserved, much like those found in cirrhotic rats treated with
the mixture and control, whereas in cirrhotic rats were observed: total distortion of the parenchyma
and fibrous tissue bands. Conclusion. The EHAM7 has hepatoprotective effect in cirrhotic rats,
possibly because it has polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant activity.

The hidatidic illness is caused for the metacestode de Echicoccus. In order to understand this,
they have
been used different models. In new studies BALB/c mice like proposal were used to evaluate the
ILEchinococcus granulosus. In the present study
BALB/c mice were infected by IP whit PSC of E. granulosus route, the mice were sacrificed and
the hidatidic cysts in liver were observed the 16 weeks postinfection, the liver was analyzed by
histopathology and a fraction of these was taken for the total extraction of ARN for amplification
(RT-PCR) with primers for IL-6, TNF пЃЎпЂ¬пЂ TGF пЃў and GADPH. The expression in situ of these
cytokines was shown by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization). The expression of IL-6 and
TNFпЃЎпЂ declined four weeks progressively later. The inflammatory cytokines were expressed
normally in animal no infected. Our results suggest E. granulosus induces a probably site
immunosuppression by TGF пЃў, this seems to be a mechanism of evasion of the immune response
of the host. In a second study, hepatic samples of pig infected with E. granulosus were used,
Where evaluated the hepatic immune response by means of the expression in situ of cytokines
pro (IL-6, TNF пЃЎпЂ© and anti-inflammatory (IL-10, TGF пЃўпЂ©.The total RNA of hepatic sections was
extracted, which were used for amplification with RT-PCR with primers of IL-6, TNF пЃЎ, IL-10, TGF
пЃў and G3PDH. It was observed a pattern similar to found in the model murine, an increase in the
expression of the anti-inflammatory and a decrement of the pro-inflammatory cytokines probably
indicating a suppression of the host using the parasite all these resources to remain by long period
of time in the host.

The cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP) catalyze the metabolism of a wide variety of endogenous
and exogenous compounds. CYP are mainly expressed in the liver and extrahepatic tissues.
Recently, overexpression of the CYPs in neoplastic has been shown, leading to an exacerbated
metabolism causing the inactivation of antineoplastic agents and therefore chemoresistance. The
rhabdomyosarcoma (RM) is a childhood neoplasm of the striated muscle of high prevalence in
Mexico and strongly chemoresistant. Current therapy for RM includes anticancer drugs cocktails
with inevitable side effects. The modulation of the expression of the CYP enzymes is unknown in
both in the healthy striated muscle, as well as in the RM. The comparison of the CYP expression
patterns in both tissues will allow for proposing better treatment schemes for RM using cancer
chemotherapeutic drugs that are not inactivated by the CYP found in the tumor. Objective: Assess
the genetic expression of CYP1A1, 1A2, 3A4, 3A5, 1B1, 2E1 and 2W1 in the healthy skeletal
striated muscle. Methodology: Using real-time RT-PCR, different CYP were analyzed from 17
samples of healthy striated muscle from children of different ages. Results: The CT results from
each of the genes analyzed showed that both CYP1B1 (X of Ct=30.72), as well as CYP2E1 (X of
Ct=30.68) are constitutively expressed in the striated muscle at all the ages considered. On the
other hand, no genetic expression of CYP2W1 was detected in any of the samples. The rest of the
genes had a diverse pattern of expression unrelated to gender or age. Conclusions: The skeletal
striated muscle possesses the genetic expression of diverse CYPs that if correlated with its
protein expression, could lead us to consider it as a tissue of important metabolic capacity. The
results of the expression of the CYPs in the healthy muscle are the basis for later comparison with
RM.

This study examines the alterations on the contractile response in the guinea-pig ileum induced by
hypoxia and ischemia in-vitro. Six segments of 2.5-cm long of the whole ileum were obtained from
each guinea pig. They were mounted in a 30 ml organ-bath containing Krebs-Bicarbonate solution
maintained at 37В°C and constantly bubbled with the mixture of O2 and CO2. The resting tension
was fixed at 1 g. The preparations were allowed to equilibrate for 60 min under continuous
superfusion (10 ml/min). In one group of experiments, hypoxia was induced by oxygen deprivation
replacing the oxygen by a mixture of 95%N2-5%CO2 for 10, 20 and 40 minutes in different
preparations. In other group of experiments, ischemia was induced by oxygen deprivation and
glucose-free solution for the same periods of time. Thereafter, oxygenation was restored in all
tissues and were subjected to chemical stimulation with ACh (1X10 -9 to 1X10-5 M), KCl (3.2X10-2
M) and electric stimulation (14 V, 0.3 Hz, 3 ms). Hypoxia in vitro decreased significantly the
reactivity of the guinea-pig ileum to ACh and electrical stimulation resulted in approximate 28%
and 77% (10 min); 21% and 32% (20 min); and, 63% and 80 % (40 min) decrease in the
contractile response. Contractile responses to KCl from hypoxic preparations were not significantly
alterated. On the other hand, ischemia in vitro decreased significantly the reactivity of the guineapig ileum only to Ach, but not to KCl and electrical stimulation. These results suggest that hypoxia
followed for reperfusion induced more alterations than ischemia in vitro. The contractile responses
in hypoxic tissues to neurogenic stimulation decrease to a significantly greater extent than the
non-nerve mediated responses of the intestinal smooth muscle. This study was supported by
PAPIIT (grant IN201809-3).

Rhodiola rosea is a popular medicinal plant commonly used in folk medicine in Europe and
Asia as an adaptogen due to its ability to increase an organism’s resistance to physical,
chemical and biological stress. The present study was conducted to evaluate the
neuropharmacological profile and toxicity of R. rosea. An ethanolic extract of the roots of R.
rosea (56-316 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered in mice; exploratory activity, anti-anxiety,
sodium pentobarbital-induced hypnosis and pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures were tested,
clonazepan was used as positive control. The results in the experimentals models tested
showed: a significant reduction of the exploratory behavior and in the number of rearing. R.
rosea did not modify the sedative-hypnotic and anticonvulsant response with respect to
vehicle. R. rosea was not toxic in Artemia saline and in mice. In addition, R. rosea was not
genotoxic in the micronucleus assay. The present results confirm some preclinical and
clinical studies indicating stimulating and anxiolitic-like effects of R. rosea with a very low risk
of toxicity.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a stage between the cognitive impairment in normal aging
and demential illness, without functional disability. So far there are different drug therapies for
dementia; of which, one of the present drugs is the Ginkgo biloba (Gb) that acts as a
neuroprotective by blocking the apoptosis, at level cerebral cortex, but which have not been
described in detail in Mexican patients its effects on different risk factors related to the DCL.
So in this study we examined the effect of Gb on plasma biomarkers and imaging in elderly
with MCI. The study is experimental (by the administration Gb for 4 months), compared to
placebo, single-blind and pilot preliminar pilot. We Included elderly over 70 years old
diagnosed with MCI. The variables analyzed at 0 and 4 months after treatment were: a)
oxidative stress (OE): damage to lipids and proteins, and antioxidant defenses, b) metabolic
syndrome (MS): diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, central obesity and insulin resistance,
c) tomographic analysis: cortical atrophy, and cerebral atherosclerosis. Before of treatment,
we found that patients had a higher severity of MS and insulin resistance compared with the
national average; additionally, they had a lower educational level. After treatment with GB
showed increased cognitive ability (higher scores on neuropsychological testing), while there
was a decrease of the memory areas affected in both groups. With regard to MS and EO
parameters, we did not find differences statistical In conclusion, this study has shown
improved global cognition GB without having a positive effect on memory. On the other hand
Gb does not reduce EO and SM; the previous findings makes the search necessary of new
molecular routes of action, besides increasing the size of sample to make a representative
analysis.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the first cause of terminal renal disease. DN involves a group of
micro and macro-vascular injuries; characterized by functional (glomerular hyper-filtration)
and structural (renal hypertrophy (RH)) alterations. The cause of these alterations it’s not
clear. However, it was reported that renin angiotensin system (RAS) it’s related on
development of DN, this because angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and AT 1
antagonists are highly effective in slowing the progression of renal disease. Objective: Study
the activity of losartan (LOS) and captopril (CAP) on early alterations of diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: 36 male rats between 230-250 g were randomly divided into a diabetic model group
-1
that received an injection of 65 mg kg streptozotocin (STZ) with sodium citrate buffer as
vehicle and control group with only the vehicle. Two days after STZ, when we observe clinical
symptoms of DM, diabetic and control rats were divided into 3 groups: No treatment group,
-1
treatment with LOS and treatment with CAP (10mg K ) during a week. After that time,
kidneys were removed and renal functional and morphological parameters were measured.
Results: 48 h after STZ administration rats present hyperglycemia, polyphagia, polydipsia,
polyuria and weight loss. Proteinuria was decrease in both treatments (LOS 26.7 Вµg/24h and
CAP 31.5 Вµg/24h) respect with control group (42.5 Вµg/24h). Kidney weight was high in
diabetic rats. Proteins/DNA quotients in control group were 0.09 u.a. and in diabetic group
were 0.11 u.a. Conclusion: A week after STZ administration, rats develop RH. However,
when organisms receive inhibitor of AT1 receptor, some alterations on renal damage were
decreased. These results confirm the role of RAS on DN. Supported by PAPIIT IN210307.
SEX DIFFERENCES IN EXPERIMENTAL ANXIETY IN MIDDLE-AGED RATS: EFFECTS
OF DIAZEPAM. Olvera HernГЎndez S, FernГЎndez Guasti A. Departamento de
Farmacobiologia, Cinvestav, MГ©xico DF
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric illnesses and there is a sexual
dimorphism in their incidence, with women outnumbering men. Aging in rodents is similar to
aging in humans, in the female rat after 10 months of age there is an increase in the
incidence of animals showing irregular cycles. Finally, the female rat enters a state of
aciclicity with the loss of reproductive function. In males from 12 months of age onwards
there is a reduction in the serum levels of testosterone. These changes are analogous to the
periods of perimenopause and menopause in women and partial androgen deficiency in men.
The defensive burying behavior model is used for the study of experimental anxiety. Two of
the measured parameters are the burying behavior latency, which inversely reflects reactivity,
and the cumulative burying, which directly reflects the level of experimental anxiety. We
studied the influence of sex and endocrine milieu and it response to diazepam using Wistar
rats with an age range of 11-14 months. Females were selected in two endocrine conditions:
irregular cycles and persistent diestrus. Middle aged males were also included. Because
burying implies motor coordination, a rotarod and spontaneous ambulation tests were done.
We observed that under basal conditions the burying behavior latency was higher in males
than in females, while cumulative burying was higher in the two groups of females compared
with males. In both groups of females diazepam administration (0.5, 1.0 mg/kg) produced an
increase in burying behavior latency. The cumulative burying time was not reduced in any
group after any diazepam dose. In the group of persistent diestrus, 1 mg/kg of diazepam
caused a decreased motor coordination. These data suggest that diazepam in middle aged
subjects impairs reactivity but lacks an anxiolytic-like action.

Introduction: In our laboratory we evaluate antihypertensive activity of drugs of Mexican
origin. The compounds have shown to be effective. Objective: To compare the effect of the
compound 4-tert-butyl-2 6-bis (thiomorpholino-4-ylmethyl) phenol with Captopril in muscle
contraction induced by Ang I and Ang II in the presence and absence of Ang-1-7 in aortic
rings. Methods: The rats were treated with either the compound or Captopril with a dose of 1
mg / kg i.m./5 days. Aortic rings were mounted in isolated organ chambers under conditions
established and with an inhibitor of NO synthase. Concentration-Response curves to Ang I
-10

and Ang II of 10 -10 M in the presence and absence of angiotensin 1-7 were obtained.
This was carried out for both compound and captopril groups. Maximal contraction data were
recorded. Results: The cumulative concentration-response curves were obtained for Ang I
and Ang II. It was observed that both the compound LQM319 and Captopril had a similar
vasorelaxant effect, although when the aorta rings were incubated with Ang-1-7, the
contraction decreased even more. Conclusions: In this study we demonstrated that
vasodilation was independent of nitric oxide since NO synthase was inhibited. In addition we
found that the compound 4-tert-butyl-2,6-bis (thiomorpholino-4-ylmethyl) phenol had
vasorelaxant effects similar to captopril. PAPIIT IN224310-3, GVC-20

The kidneys are the primary target organ where mercury is absorbed, accumulated, and
expresses its toxicity. Cyanobacteria of the genus Spirulina were used to prevent oxidative
stress and cellular damage in different toxicological models. Our objective was to study if the
phycobiliproteins of Spirulina maxima protect renal cells against mercury-caused oxidative
stress and cellular damage in the kidney. We used 48 male mice that were assigned into
eight groups; the control group received 100 mM phosphate buffer (PB) ig and 0.9% saline
ip; PB + 5 mg/kg ip HgCl2; PB plus 100 mg/kg ig phycobiliproteins or C-phycocyanin, and the
other groups receiving HgCl2 + 50 or 100 mg/kg ig phycobiliproteins or C-phycocyanin. The
administration of the phycobiliproteins, C-phycocyanin or PB was made 30 min before saline
or HgCl2 for 5 days. Mice were killed by cervical dislocation and the left kidneys were used to
determine lipid peroxidation, quantification of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced
glutathione (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) content. The right kidneys were processed for
histology. Our results demonstrated that HgCl2 causes oxidative stress and cellular damage.
All doses of phycobiliproteins and C-phycocyanin prevent enhancement of oxidative markers
and partially protect against HgCl2-caused cellular damage. Funded by grants from the SIP

Resveratrol is an herbal and protective compound produced by the red grapes, which has
been used for various purposes. Resveratrol has been shown many effects over health in
humans and animals; some of which are an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. In this
study analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of resveratrol alone and in combination with
diclofenac was demonstrated. For this propose a carrageenan-induced inflammation and
hyperlagesia carrageenan-induced models were used in rats. We observed that 25 mg/Kg of
resveratrol not increase analgesic and anti-inflammatory of diclofenac (100 mg/Kg), but 50
and 100 mg/Kg of resveratrol significantly increase both analgesic and anti-inflammatory of
diclofenac (100 mg/Kg) in rats. These results suggest that the combination of resveratrol and
diclofenac could be used as a drug combination of choice for the treatment of inflammatory
diseases that occur with pain.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the main causes of death worldwide and its incidence is
rising. It has been shown that life-style factors, such as increased fat intake and reduced
physical activity, are associated with obesity, insulin resistance and may lead to diabetes. In
Mexico more than 300 plant species have popular use in the treatment o this disease.
Extracts from Calea urticiolia (Miller) DC, known as ―negrito‖ in the village Potrero del
Carnero, Rayon, S.L.P., are used to treat inflammation and diabetes. Establish the effects of
an ethanolic extract of C. urticifolia (EECU) on glucose and lipid metabolism in high-fat-fed
rats. Male Wistar rats weighing 100-120 g were fed with standard chow (SC) or a high fat
diet (HFD) for 16 weeks. Blood samples were collected from the tail vein every four weeks
during this period. After that, rats were divided into four groups, one group of each diet was
administered water or EECU (0.88 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Blood samples were obtained every
two weeks. Blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides levels were measured. HFD induced
an increase in blood glucose after eight weeks. Blood cholesterol and triglycerides not
increased significantly after 16 weeks. EECU administration reduced blood glucose levels
significantly. Changes in blood cholesterol and triglycerides were no observed. EECU has
hypoglycemic effect in hyperglycemic high-fat-fed rats.

Evidence shows that a diet rich in flavonoids significantly decrease the incidence of
cardiovascular diseases mainly due to their antioxidant, vasodilator, antithrombotic and antiinflammatory properties. Flavonoids are found in many types of fruit and vegetables.
Consumption of cacao and derivatives like dark chocolate has been proposed as
cardioprotective reducing cardiovascular morbi-mortality. (-)-Epicatechin (EPI) is the most
abundant flavonoid in cacao and it has been proposed has responsible of cacao effects.
However, the mechanism(s) by which (-)-epicatechin exerts its effects remains unclear. On
the other hand, previous papers show that cardiovascular diseases trigger mitochondrial
alterations. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion induces alterations in cellular calcium
homeostasis and intracellular pH and increase the production of reactive oxygen species.
These alterations promote mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening (mPTP)
resulting in water and ions diffusion into the mitochondrial matrix triggering mitochondrial
swelling and proapoptosis signals. In this study, we analyze the effects of EPI on
mitochondrial swelling induced by calcium in isolated mitochondria from healthy and
ischemia/reperfusion (45 min ischemia and posterior reperfusion) rat hearts. Results show
that EPI, in a concentration dependent manner [0.01ВµM - 0.1mM], decreases mitochondrial
swelling. (-)-Epicatechin treatment (1 mg/kg/day during 10 days by gavage) significantly
inhibits swelling in mitochondria isolated from ischemia/reperfusion hearts. Together, these
results strongly suggest that EPI protect mitochondria against damage conditions induced by
calcium or ischemia/reperfusion injury.

There is increasing evidence during diabetes increase oxidative stress and cellular transport of
glucose. These alterations play an important role in the development and progression of diabetic
nephropathy. Aims: The purpose of this work was to study the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid
(UDCA) on the oxidative stress and sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) expression in the
kidney of diabetic rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin 50 mg/kg, i.p. UDCA (40
mg/kg) was administered p.o. daily from the first to the 30 day after the diabetes was confirmed. At
30 days the kidney was obtained and cortex and medulla were dissected. Oxidative stress was
measured by catalase (CAT), super oxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)
activity in cortex and medulla. SGLT2 expression was evaluated in cortex. Results: At day 30,
diabetic animals showed hyperglycaemia, lower body weight, glycosuria, diuresis. In cortex and
medulla from diabetic rats, decrease CAT activity and GPX activity increase. No significant
change was observed in the SOD activity in the cortex or medulla from diabetic rats. SGLT2
expression increase in diabetic compared with control rats. UDCA treatment decreased
hyperglycaemia and increase body weight. In the cortex and medulla of diabetic rats the UDCAtreatment increase CAT activity. Furthermore, UDCA treatment also resulted in a significant
decrease in GPX activity and SGLT2 expression. Conclusions: In conclusion, the present study
showed that UDCA treatment prevented the oxidative stress in kidney from diabetic rats.
Furthermore the results suggest that UDCA treatment modulate SGLT2 expression.

Actually there are different treatments for chronic hepatitis that has different side-effects in the
patients, the research of new drugs for these diseases is necessary. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the pharmacological effect of FL-6, a new immunomodulatory drug, in a chronic hepatitis
induced immunologically in rat by porcine-serum (PS) administration. 32 Wistar rats (150 g) were
used and divided into 4 experimental groups (n=8): 1. Control (PBS 0.5 ml 3-times per week for 8
weeks), 2. FL-6 (50 ng/kg 3-times per week for the last 4 weeks), 3. Hepatitis (PS 373 mg/kg twice
per week for 8 weeks), 4. Hepatitis + FL-6 (doses mentioned above). At the end of the 8th week of
the protocol, rats were sacrificed using CO2 chamber. Biochemical markers of liver function (ALT,
AST, ALP and GGT), inflammatory marker (IL-6) and anti-inflammatory marker (IL-10) levels were
evaluated in serum samples; in liver tissue determinations of GSH was done. Animals with
hepatitis had an increase in ALT (1.53-fold), AST (1.18-fold), ALP (1.78-fold) and GGT (3.43-fold)
levels in comparison with control group (P<0.05). Rats with hepatitis and treatment with FL-6 had
a reduction of ALT (49.28%) and AST (39.44%) levels as compared with hepatitis group (p<0.05).
Rats with hepatitis developed an increase in IL-6 (1.6-fold) and IL-10 (6.1-fold) levels as compared
with control group (p<0.05). In rats with hepatitis and treatment with FL-6 we observed a reduction
in IL-6 (24%) level as compared with liver fibrosis group (p<0.05). The levels of GSH in hepatitis
group was 74.8% less in comparison of control group (p<0.05); the treatment with FL-6 in
presence of hepatitis had no changes on GSH levels. In conclusion, the treatment with FL-6
reduced biochemical parameters (ALT and AST) and inflammatory marker (IL-6) in rats with
chronic hepatitis induced by PS administration.

There is age-related change in the responses to phenylephrine (PE, agonist О±1) mediated by
adrenergic receptors (AR) О±1 in the aorta (Ao) of the rat that is related to changes that can vary
with the (thoracic , Tx, abdominal, Ab) region of the vessel. The traditional protocol takes the
magnitude of responses at a given time (steady state) and not the rate of change per second
(kinetics) of the time course of the transient response (kinetic) protocol to determine the number of
distinct phases, which provides a unique insight in terms of time constant (П„ in s) underlying the
mechanisms of the transient of response, which can not be obtained by examining the steady
state. Based on a mathematical model of 3 exponential components and 10 kinetic parameters
(3C, 10P) we analyzed transient possible kinetic changes of force development (F, g) induced by
PE (10-6 M) in terms of П„ and MeanResponseTime (in s ) in Ao of prepubertal rat (P: 70 to <170 g
TotalBodyMass; 6 W eeks of Age, n = 9Tx, 9Ab), young adult rat (A: 200-250 gTBM, 8 WA, n = 9Tx,
10Ab) and old rat (O: 230-280 gTBM, 16-18 WA, n = 9Tx, 9Ab). The 3C, 10P identified a rapid
phase (О¦1F), a moderately fast phase (О¦2F) and an slow phase (О¦3F). The two-way ANOVA
showed a different kinetics (P <0.05: О¦1F П„ <О¦2F П„ <О¦2F П„) intragroup Ao segment; П„1: Tx and Ab
were {A (14.00 В± 1.07) and P (13.31 В± 1.10)}> П„1_O(8.18В±1.10); П„2: Tx(97.51В± 2.51)>
Ab(42.75В±2.47) and П„2: P>A>O; and also П„3: Tx(289.87В±3.79)> Ab(234.61В± 3.73) except from O,
and П„3: P>A>O as well. Finally, MRT: Tx(127.44В±7.71)>Ab(95.28В± 7.58). We concluded that the
Ao age-on_transient kinetics of isometric contraction PE induced becomes faster, especially in the
Ab segment compared to the Tx one.

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral, Gram negative and microaerophilic bacterium strongly related
with chronic gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcer, adenocarcinoma and gastric MALT
lymphoma. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains has developed a great interest in
searching for alternative therapies for the treatment of infection and their related-diseases. In
this study, we evaluated the in vitro anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of the aqueous extract of
Cuphea aequipetala (CAI), a species widely used in the Mexican traditional medicine system
to treat stomach ailments like gastritis. Additionally, we evaluated the gastroprotective effect
using an ethanol-induced gastric ulcer model, and acute toxicity, both in mice. Results
showed that CAI, in agar and broth dilution methods, presented minimum inhibitory
concentrations of 125
significantly reduced by oral administration of CAI in a dose-dependent pattern. Finally, the
LD50 was estimated up than 5 g/kg. In conclusion these data indicate that C. aequipetala
possess gastroprotective and anti-H. pylori compounds that could be related with its
etnomedical efficacy, and did not show acute toxicological effects making it a promising
native herb for an integral therapy, alone or in combined therapies, in the treatment of
patients with gastric ulcer caused by this bacterium. This work was partially supported by
DGAPA-UNAM (IN 225711-3).

In the search of new therapeutic alternatives for neurocysticercosis treatment, the aim of the
present study was to evaluate the cysticidal activity of 5 plants used in the mexican traditional
medicine as antiparasitic: Tagetes lucida (pericГіn), Teloxys graveolens (epazote de zorrillo),
Lippia graveolens (orГ©gano), Jatropha dioica (sangre de drago) y Prunus serotina (capulГ­n).
The hexane, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts were obtained by maceration of dried
plant material. The in vitro cysticidal activity was performed using Taenia crassiceps cysts
and albendazol sulphoxide as reference drug. Also, the brine shrimp lethality test was carry
out as preliminary assay to select the active extracts. The plant extracts were evaluated in
the concentration range from 1 to 200 Вµg/mL. The results of lethality assay for A. salina
showed that the most active extracts were: methanolic from capulГ­n and pericГіn; ethyl
acetate from epazote and sangre de drago, and the hexanic from orГ©gano. All of these
extracts, exhibited cysticidal activity, being the extract from capulГ­n the most active with a
EC50 value of 17.2 Вµg/mL. The CE50 values of epazote, pericГіn, orГ©gano and sangre de
drago were 44.3, 47.8, 65.4 y 68.8 Вµg/mL respectively. The results of the present study
revealed the cysticidal potential of these plants and their research should be continued in
order to identify the active compounds as a basis for the development of novel cysticidal
drugs.

The combination of analgesic drugs is a common practice in the clinic management of pain.
Preclinical studies are needed to determine the usefulness of new drug combinations as well
as the nature and magnitude of the interaction. In this study we demonstrated that lysine
clonixinate -LC- (anti-inflammatory non steroidal agent) is able to synergize the
antinociceptive response of morphine -M- (opioid agent) in the formalin test. 50 ОјL of 3%
formalin was applied to the right hindpaw of male Wistar rats and reduction in flinching
behavior was targeted as the antinociceptive effect. Both analgesic drugs reduced the
nociceptive response in a dose-dependent fashion during phase 1 and phase 2 of the
formalin test (M: 2-4 mg/kg i.m.; LC: 25-150 mg/kg i.m.). Moreover, the mixture of agents at a
fixed-proportion (M:LC, 1:29) produced a ED30 (0.6 В± 0.17 mg/kg i.p.) significantly lower to
that theoretically predicted (26.3 В± 0.17 mg/kg i.p.). Naloxone (10 mg/kg p.o.) did not reverse
the antinociception of lysine clonixinate in any phases, but reverses completely the
antinociception of morphine, and partially that of the combination with LC in both phases
suggesting a role of the opioid receptor in the synergistic effect of M-LC. These results
suggest that sparing morphine with lysine clonixinate would offer a useful tool for the
management of moderate to severe acute pain.

HYPOCHOLESTEROLEMIANT AGENT. Pastor O., Santiago J., Wong C. Laboratorios de

Hypercholesterolemia is a main risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases,
which are the number one cause of death worldwide. О±-asarone has been isolated from
multiple natural sources, and it has powerful hypocholesterolemic activity by binding to
hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase blocking cholesterol biosynthesis.
However, due its high toxicity О±-asarone has been dismissed as a potential treatment for
hypercholesterolemia. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that some О±-asarone
metabolites have hypolipemiant activity and are less toxic than О±-asarone. Methylated О±asarone metabolites have been evaluated as hypocholesterolemic agents. In this study, we
assayed one О±-asarone metbolite; the 2,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (DMC) on wistar
hipercholesterolemic rat model under treatment with DMC. To validate the
hypocholesterlemic model, we compared it with normocholesterolemic wistar rats. After 7
days of treatment, DMC decreased serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides of
29.86% and 53.92% respectively compared with those presented by hypercholesterolemic
rats (p<0.05). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in cholesterol
elimination, which was determinate by bile flow speed and cholesterol bile levels. Based on
the obtained results, we conclude that 2,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid is a lipid-lowering property
molecule, because it was capable to decrease serum cholesterol and triglycerides in rats on
high lipid diet. In addition, the mechanism of action of DMC seems not to involve the hepaticbile system, since no significant changes in the bile parameters analyzed.

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the irreversible loss of dopaminergic neurons in the
nigrostriatal pathway. It has been proposed environmental causes through molecules such as the
1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) that induced oxidative stress. The methanolic extract of
plants of the gender Buddleja has been reported to has in vitro and in vivo antioxidant properties
protecting of the neuronal death. In the present study were investigated the neuroprotective effect
of the methanolic extract of Buddleja cordata in rat MPP+-model. Male Wistar rats (220-250 g of
weight) were used. The first day the animals were administered orally with different doses of
methanolic extract of B. cordata; 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg or Tween 20 (5% w/v). The fifteenth day,
the rats were infused with a single intrastriatal stereotaxic microinjection of MPP + (8 ВµL) or sterile
saline. Six days after the animals were treated with apomorphine (1 mg/kg subcutaneously) and
then ipsilateral rotations were recorded during 1 hour. Finally, twenty four hours after the animals
were sacrificed by decapitation and lesioned striatum was dissected to dopamine quantification
using HPLC with electrochemical detection. The animals administered orally with the doses of 50
and 100 mg/kg showed a significant decrease (p< 0.05) of ipsilateral rotations of 75% (85 turns)
compared to control group (170 turns). This neuroprotection was corroborated with dopamine
levels in both groups. These preliminary results will be reinforced by analysis of lipid peroxidation.

Hepatic metabolic function is very important for detection of liver failure and to treat it. Several
tests have been widely used to characterize the integrity of liver; however, they do not evaluate
the metabolic function of the organ. Several tests have been reported for evaluation of such
function; however, most of them require taking several blood samples. Aim: The purpose of this
study was to establish if ratio of lidocaine metabolite (MEGX) divided by lidocaine concentration
30 minutes after intravenous lidocaine administration is a good marker of metabolic activity of the
liver. Material and method: Nine healthy and two partially hepatectomized and autotransplanted
dogs were included in the study. A single 1.5 mg/kg intravenous dose of lidocaine and serum
samples were obtained at selected times for 150 minutes. Serum concentrations of lidocaine and
MEGX were determined by a validated high-performance liquid chromatographic method.
Pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained by non-compartmental methods and ratio of AUC of
MEGX divided by AUC of lidocaine was determined for each dog. This ratio was correlated with
the ratio of the concentration of the compounds obtained 30 minutes after drug administration.
Discussion: A good concordance was obtained, suggesting that ratio obtained with a single
sample may be useful to predict the hepatic metabolism function. To validate the test, dogs
hepatectomized and autotransplanted were plotted and the results obtained were within the values
obtained in healthy dogs. These results seem to indicate that ratio of MEGX/lidocaine obtained 30
minutes after administration could be a good marker of hepatic metabolic function.

Diabetes and hypertension are main causes of morbidity and mortality in the World. It has
been suggested that omega-3 fatty acids ingestion has beneficial effects in controlling
various diseases, including diabetes and hypertension. In this work we studied the effect of a
flaxseed oil (FO) supplement (rich in omega-3) on glycemia, systolic blood pressure,
cholesterol and triglycerides in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with
diabetes.Diabetes was induced in male 48 h newborn SHR with stroptozotocin (STZ). Daily
administration of FO since the first month of age, regulated blood glucose at 96 mg/dl, similar
to control SHR (78 mg/dl) at the age of 3 months, remaining constant up to 6 months of age
(84 and 80 mg/dl respectively). Diabetic rats without FO, had glucose levels between 180
and 220 mg/dl at the same ages. Diabetic SHR showed higher levels of systolic blood
pressure since the first month of age, reaching values of 210 mmHg at 6 months-old. In SHR
supplemented with FO there was a delayed development of hypertension with systolic blood
pressure barely over 140 mmHG. During development of diabetes and hypertension,
cholesterol and blood triglycerides concentrations increased at 6 months of age; however, in
SHR with STZ and supplemented FO, cholesterol and triglycerides concentrations tend to be
normal, or even lower, at 6 months-old.Project supported by PAPIIT IN228610-3

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is the most important system in blood pressure
homeostasis and pathogenesis of cardiovascular-renal diseases and pharmacology. When
blood volume is low, juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys secrete renin. Renin stimulates the
production of angiotensin I (Ang I), which is then converted to angiotensin II (Ang II).
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict, resulting in increased blood pressure. If the
renin angiotensin system is too active, blood pressure will be too high. Most hypotensive
drugs are designed to block this system in different points. For instance, exist renin inhibitors
(RIs) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), or angiotensin II receptor blockers
(ARBs).
We constructed a mathematical model of the RAS, to emulate the response of the reninangiotensin system in human. This model consists in a set of ordinary differential equations.
Special attention is paid to the estimation of all the model parameters from reported
experimental data. The model equations are numerically solved.
These equations allow to model hypertensive and normotensive patients and
pharmacotherapeutics. In this study, we show dose-response curves of blood pressure and
biochemical components of the renin-angiotensin system.

The development of new pharmacological strategies such as balanced analgesia allows clinicians
to have therapeutic alternatives for relief the treatment of acute pain. In this prospective, doubleblind, randomized, parallel-group and multiple doses clinical trial we evaluated the analgesic
effect, as well as the tolerability of a new solid formulation containing lysine clonixinate and
tramadol (CLT; 125 + 25 mg po c/8 h) compared to single tramadol (TMD, 50 mg po c/8 h) in
patients suffering moderate to severe acute pain following the extraction of two impacted third
molars. 40 subjects were allocated into two groups (n=20) to receive the first dose of analgesics
treatment when anesthetic effect was ended or the pain intensity was sufficient to patient ask for
analgesia into a 6 h period after surgery. Test treatments were evaluated for a period of 96 hours
with visual-analogue scale of 10 cm, as well as verbal assessment of 4-point scales. Primary endpoint was defined as the cumulative analgesic effect over time within 0-96 h. Results showed that
indicators cumulative analgesic effect 0-96 h (development of pain + analgesic effect), 4-24 h
(postoperative analgesia in clinic) and 6-96 h (ambulatory analgesic effect), the time of beginning
of significant analgesic effect as well as the therapeutic failure rate (CLT did not exhibited any
case) and the overall evaluation of the therapy by patient up to 96 h showed superiority for the
CLT combination (50% of the patients felt that it was an excellent therapy against 10% with
TMD). Rate of adverse effects of CLT tended to be smaller than the TMD. Taken together, the
results of this study suggest that the analgesic efficacy of CLT is superior to that of standard dose
of tramadol for relieving acute dental pain, but also that pain relief is more rapidly achieved, with
an improved profile of tolerability.

The rationale of balanced analgesia is to provide pain relief through additive or synergistic effects,
using different analgesics, with a concomitant reduction of side-effects owing to the resulting lower
doses of individual drugs and differences in side-effect profiles. The combination of Tramadol (T)
with Lysine Clonixinate (CL) has been designed with the goal of obtaining improved analgesia with
two drugs acting with different mechanism from action, time of beginning and duration of the
effect. In order to evaluate the analgesic potential of CL plus T (CL-T), protocols using
experimental visceral and somatic pain models were performed and isobolographic analysis
demonstrated that CL-T in a 5:1 fixed-proportion (ED50: CL, 3.6 mg/kg i.p. + T, 0.71 mg/kg i.p.
equal to 4.1 mg/kg of mixture) derived in a synergistic response. Such an improved analgesic
effect of CL-T was equivalent to standard dose of morphine (0.44 mg/kg i.p.) and superior to
ketorolac (0.1 and 1.0 mg/kg) for overcoming the intense-acute nociception in the tail-flick and
formaline experimental models in terms of magnitude and duration. The acute highest doses of
CL-T (8.2 mg/kg po.) did not differ to vehicle-control when it was acutely given in the ethanolinduced gastric damage model in rats. In addition the repeated administration during 1 week of
CL-T (8.2 mg/kg po. t.i.d.) did not produce more gastrointestinal ulcer lesions than observed with
control. Finally neither respiratory depression nor intestinal transit-time alteration were observed
after the treatment with CL-T. All these findings support that CL-T combination in a 5:1 ratio would
represent an adequate alternative in the treatment of severe acute pain.

Maternal aggression of lactating dams is component of the maternal behavioral repertoire, in
association with the rearing and protection of the litter, suggesting that the neural circuitry
underlying the behavior is activated temporarily. Food deprivation early in life produces
permanent, morphological, biochemical and behavioral alterations that may provoke long-term
damage. The current study investigates the effects produced by food deprivation on the maternal
aggression response (MAR) directed to an intruder, and effects of NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d)
positive neurons, as indirect evidence of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, in supraoptic (SON) and
paraventricular (PVN) nuclei. The two groups of dams tested for MAR were: Control females (C)
came from pups fed normally throughout the study, the undernourished females (U), was obtained
from pregnant dams prenatally feeding with 50% of the normal diet (Purina chow) from G6 to G12
and with 60% of the same diet from G13 until G21. After birth, these pups were fed by
interchanging a pair of normally lactating mothers every 12 h. After weaning, pups had free access
to water and food. The MAR was evaluated on postpartum days 1, 4 and 8. After that fixed coronal
sections (40 Ој) of SON and PVN were processed for histochemistry positivity with the NADPH-d
technique. Data showed significant (p<0.05) statistical differences, being for U dams reduction in
the frequency of sniffing, increase of lateral attacks on days 4 and 8, also showed decrease of
frontal attacks at day 8. Results also showed increase in the number of NADPH-d positive
neurons in U group. Food deprivation may be associated with changes of NO synthesis on
neuronal structures implicated in maternal aggression adjustment. Findings underlying neuronal
plasticity, and provides evidence that different temporal windows of vulnerability determine the
severity of food restriction. Supported by CONACyT Grant No. 91211 (EPT).

The relaxant effect of the lactone of rosuvastatin was evaluated on aortic rings from male Wistar
rats (250-300 g) with and without endothelium precontracted with 1.0 ВµM phenylephrine. The
lactone presented a greater potency than rosuvastatin in relaxing aortic rings, with log IC 50 values
of -6.88 and -6.07 M, respectively . Unlike rosuvastatin, the effect of its lactone was endotheliumindependent. Pretreatment with either 10 ВµM indomethacin or 1 mM mevalonate did not inhibit the
relaxant effect of the lactone. Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 10 µM), the selective
nitric oxide-2 (NO-2) inhibitor 1400 W (10 ВµM), tetraethylammonium (TEA, 10 mM) partially
inhibited the relaxant effect of the lactone on endothelium-denuded aortic rings. However,
cycloheximide (10 ВµM) or the combination of TEA plus L-NAME completely inhibited the relaxant
effect. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS-2) was only present in endothelium-denuded aortic
rings, as demonstrated by immunoblot with lactone treated rings. In conclusion, whereas
rosuvastatin was associated with a relaxant effect dependent on endothelium and
hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase in rat aorta, the lactone of rosuvastatin exhibited an
endothelium- and hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase-independent relaxant effect. Both
nitric oxide produced by NOS-2 and K+ channels are involved in the relaxant effect of the lactone
of rosuvastatin.

Gentamicin belongs to the aminoglycosides whose common use is for the management of
infections with gram negative its therapeutic range is narrow and can lead to significant toxic
effects. It is bactericidal to have the ability to penetrate the membrane and synergistic with some
Penicillin’s. This work presents an alternate form of safer and more effective dosage. Aim: Assess
pharmacotherapy with gentamicin in prospectively in hospitalized patients and perform the
individualization of dose based on the determination of levels of serum and the adjustment of dose
and therapeutic interval using the kinetic method of Fuller-Goldman. Methodology: The study was
developed in the facilities of the hospital Issstecali Tijuana and Tecate involving hospitalized
patients. The design of the study was prospective, analytical cuasiexperimental involving patients
in the areas of internal medicine, surgery, and ginecobstetrics. Renal assessment is carried out
through the determination of urea/creatinine and the implementation of the nomograph of
Cockcroft-Gault. The manage 80 mg gentamicin as a continuous infusion for 30 minutos. se a
sample 30 minutes post infusion and the other 5 minutes before the next dose. Measured plasma
concentrations by a method of EMIT. Result and discussion: The study is carried out in 14 adult
patients, 11 female and 3 male. Is a relationship between the volume of distribution and the doses
obtained using the kinetic method of Fuller - Goldman and a classical kinetic method of equations.
There is a concordance of dose when the kinetic parameter of volume of distribution is 12 to 16.38
L/Kg, the difference of 0.9 to 7.5 mg dose varies in both methods. Carried out an analysis of
variance between the obtained dose and the dose between the kinetic method of FG and the
kinetics equations did not found any statistical difference, the value of significance was 0.05
Conclusions: The method of Fuller-Goldman presents a huge advantage for the design of safe
individualized dosing regimens. It allows us to analyze and readjustment a dose in effective and
analytical way. It is an excellent guide for the design of individual dosing regimens and no longer
empirically. The predictive power is very acceptable for drugs with a narrow therapeutic window
and where the volume of distribution oscillates between 12 and 16.3 L/Kg.

We have demonstrated in experimental models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that nitric oxide
(NO) renal synthesis decrease is associated with decline in renal function and is accompanied by
increase in oxidative stress as result of increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and
decreased antioxidant enzyme capacity in the kidney. In obesity, kidney function changes are
similar to CKD. Therefore it is possible that CKD development may be potentiated in obesity
through changes in both NO and ROS signaling molecules. CKD was induced by 5/6 nephrectomy
(NFX) in control and obese mice and NO and ROS alterations were assessed. In situ production
of NO was evaluated using the oxidative fluorescence dye DAF-2. Confocal images analysis in
arbitrary units (arb. unit) of fluorescence showed that a high fat diet in mice diminished NO
production as dramatically as NFX. Results are as follow: Control sham 8.5 (n=5 В± SEM), Control
NFX 5.2 (n=6 В± SEM), Obese sham 5.3 (n=3 В± SEM), Obese NFX 4.3 (n=3В±SEM). Additionally,
we sort out three different ranges of calibers in the arteries and found that arteries with the range
of 31DHE showed basal florescence in Control Sham mice while a significant increase was observed in
the other three conditions. In conclusion we suggest that obesity decreases NO renal vascular
production through ROS generation sensitizing kidney for the development of renal failure. Further
investigation is needed to identify functional and structural changes that may lead to define and
ultimately prevent obesity-related renal injury.

This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic interaction of Vincristine (VCR) and Prednisone PD),
antineoplastic and glucocorticoid respectively, widely used in various treatment regimens. In this
condition, deleterious effects were assessed in liver and kidney in addition to the pharmacokinetic
behavior of VCR in the presence of PD. Female Wistar rats (300 В± 5 g) were divided into 4 groups
(n= 10 В± 2 rats per group): control, VCR (0.5 mg/kg, IV), PD (1.6 mg/kg, PO, daily for 15 days),
and VCR + PD (similar schemes). Pharmacokinetic samples were taken during 24 h after
administration of VCR at different times within the range, for each subject, with a maximum of 5
samples per animal, to quantify VCR by HPLC. At 24 h rats were sacrificed and sampled liver,
kidney and blood for determine markers of oxidative stress (hepatic and renal lipid peroxidation),
metabolic (bilirubin, urea and liver glycogen) and enzyme activity of gamma-glutamyl
transpeptidase and alanine aminotransferase (пЃ§-GTP and ALT). Indicators of injury, increased in
the presence of VCR, which were prevented with prior exposure to PD. Moreover, the
pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the volume of distribution of VCR fell from
0,056 L/kg to 0,037 L/kg, while clearance increased from 0.0143 to 0.0996 Lп‚џkg-1п‚џh-1 when coadministered with PD, which would result in a decrease in average bioavailability, measured as
the area under the curve (55.9 vs 26.2 Вµgп‚џhп‚џml-1). Overall, the results of this study support the use
of PD in combination with VCR because it avoids the presence of toxic changes induced by VCR,
in addition to modifying the pharmacokinetic behavior of anti-cancer, making it faster.

The Na+/Ca2+exchanger (NCX) is a plasmatic membrane protein. Its principal function is to take 1
Ca2+ out of the cytoplasm and introduce 3 Na+. The increase of the cytoplasmic Na+
concentration, induces the NCX to change to its reverse mode (NCX REV), favoring the Ca2+
entrance. NCXREV can be inhibited by several drugs: 1) KB-R7943 a non-specific compound that
blocks voltage dependent Ca2+ channels and store operated Ca2+ channels; 2) SEA0400 that is
selective for NCXREV, but difficult to obtain and 3) SN-6. We found that PPADS, known as a P2X
receptor antagonist, acts like a NCXREV blocker in guinea pig tracheal myocytes. In freshly
dissociated cells, we characterized the NCXREV by substituting NaCl and NaHCO3 by LiCl in Krebs
adjust to pH 7.4, and this resulted in the increase of the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i).
We analyzed 2 consecutive responses of the NCXREV after 10 min, finding a 94% re-establishment
of the initial response. To evaluate the effect of different NCXREV blockers, concentration response
curves to PPADS (1, 3.2, 10 and 30 ОјM), KB-R7943 (1, 3.2 and 10 ОјM), and SN-6 (3.2, 10 and 30
ОјM) were constructed. KB-R7943 and PPADS almost abolished NCXREV, although the former was
more effective and SN-6 was only efficient at the highest concentration used. Functional studies in
organ baths, showed that KCl (60 mM) induced contraction was blocked by D600 and KB-R7943
(around 80%, in a time dependent fashion), but not by PPADS. KCl induced [Ca 2+]i increment in
myocytes and this response was significantly decreased (46%) when KBR-7943 (10 ОјM) was
present. Our results demonstrate that PPADS can be used as a reliable pharmacological tool in
the inhibition of the NCXREV, with the advantage that it does not block L-Type Ca2+ channels as
KB-R7943 does. Supported by CONACYT # 81409 and PAPIIT, UNAM # IN201810-3.

In silico experimentation of H1N1 neuraminidase (NA) search for highly immunogenic and
conserved epitopes, could decreased financial investment, human resources and time for
vaccine design.In this work we have focused to search the best immunogenic epitopes of NA
from influenza A H1N1 virus employing the Mexican sequences for the rational design of
vaccines, was achieved. Thus is due to the existing vaccines are not enough effective to
prevent and control of epidemiological events, as has been demonstrated throughout history,
as well as presenting events temporally associated with vaccination.Furthermore, we
performed the search and multiple alignment analysis of protein sequences of the
neuraminidase (NA) 2009 H1N1 strains of Mexico, being found on October 2010 182 protein
sequences which only 119 are fully, then homology modeling for three-dimensional structure
(3D) protein sequences of 28 representative strains, 1 wild type and 27 mutants, with 1-5
mutations. Then, the 28 representative strains were subjected to sequence and structural
predictors of peptides to complex of major histocompatibility complex type II (MHC II),
peptides continues, and peptides-cel B, peptides discontinues. Thus yield search a peptide
named here as peptide A located in a loop Val448-Arg469 which has 21 aa and it does not
has mutations, it is in a highly exposed on the surface of the NA, has aromatic amino acids
conferring high immunogenicity with a molecular weight 2435 g/mol. Then, it was studied
under computational docking with MCH II (HLA-DR), obtaining data that has a successful
engagement with the peptide binding site of MCH II which was refined by molecular dynamics
simulations, this coupler interactions between aa of peptide with P4, P6, P7, and P9 of MHC
II, were by hydrogen bridges, hydrophobic interactions, links ПЂ-ПЂ, and Van der Waals forces.
This theoretical data show a peptide which can be a potential epitopic used in vaccine.

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a systemic disorder caused by the narrowing or
occlusion of arteries resulting in a diminishment or detention of blood flow concluding in
tissue damage of the ischemic area. In healthy individuals, revascularization response is the
process that limits the extent of tissue damage. We have shown that gait locomotion analysis
by video system represents an integrative model for the evaluation of mechanisms involved
in the process of ischemia-induced revascularization. However, analysis by this system can
be subjective and perception errors may be occurring. Thus, we present the optimization of a
quantifiable, non invasive, reproducible method that analyzes ankle kinematics in rats using a
two-dimensional digital video. Gait dynamics was filmed in hind limb ischemic rats with a high
speed digital video camera. Images were collected and analyzed at 125 frames per second
3, 7 and 10 days after revascularization has started. An algorithm using IDL was devised to
assess the following gait parameters: step length, walking speed, joint ankle angle, and gait
cycle. Significant differences in walking speed and gait cycle were found between sham and
ischemic animals for the three measured periods, whereas step length and joint ankle angle
showed significant differences between sham and ischemic rats only at days 3 and 7. Gait
dynamics was outlined in a highly sensible way by this computational analysis, showing that
revascularization process starts as early as seven days post-ischemia.

The present study was designed to test if the BDNF serum levels in children are modified by
sport physical activity. A total of 67 children, aged 8-13 years, were recruited from sport
teams (n=43) and elementary schools (n=24) in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico. The physical
activity group was established with the children that were doing exercise at least three or
more days/week and at least one month before the test. In the control group were included
sedentary children from elementary school. The relationship was tested by Chi square test
for bivariate analysis and a logistic regression model for the multivariate analysis. The
statistic significance was considerate with p <0.05. Further statistical analysis showed that
having two or more siblings (OR = 2.61, CI95% 0.88-7.84, p= 0.05) was associated with
decreased levels of BDNF, whereas in multivariate analysis these variables did not reach
statistical significance (OR = 3.83, CI95%: 0.81-18.08, p= 0.089). Sport physical activity (OR=
0.34, CI95%:0.10-1.0, p=0.04) and the sport type (OR = 0.13, CI95%: 0.01-0.72, p=0.006) were
significant and positively associated with increased levels of BDNF and this relationship
remained associated in the multivariate analysis [(OR= 0.07, CI 95%: 0.008-0.62; p= 0.017),
(OR=0.04, CI95%: 0.004-0.50, p= 0.010), respectively]. Age (OR= 1.26, CI 95%:0.43-3.65,
p=0.62) and gender (OR = 1.43 CI95%: 0.49-4.21, p= 0.46) were not related with BDNF serum
levels in children. This study supports the hypothesis that in children physical sport activity is
associated with higher levels of BDNF and suggests that the type of sport could be involved.

Rosmarinus officinalis L. is a common spice that is widely used in folk medicine to treat
intestinal spasms between many other disorders. The objective of this investigation was to
evaluate the inhibitory effect of an ethanol extract of aerial parts of Rosmarinus officinalis on
guinea pig isolated ileum. Six segments of 2.5-cm long of the whole ileum were obtained
from each guinea pig. They were mounted in a 30 ml organ-bath containing KrebsBicarbonate solution maintained at 37В°C and constantly bubbled with the mixture of O 2 and
CO2. The resting tension was fixed at 1 g. The preparations were allowed to equilibrate for 60
min under continuous superfusion (10 ml/min). In one group of experiments, the effect of
ethanol extract of Rosmarinus officinalis was evaluated in tissues precontracted by KCl [60
mM]; and, in other, in tissues precontracted by electrical stimulation (14 v, 0.3 Hz and 3ms)
The tension changes of guinea pig ileum segments were recorded on a polygraph. The
ethanol extract of Rosmarinus officinalis [600 Вµg/ml] induced an inhibition of the contractile
effect of 62.97 В± 4.18% (n =6) and 59.32 В± 4.11 % ( n =6) in the tissue precontracted by high
concentrations of potassium and electrical stimulation, respectively. These results suggest
that ethanol extract of Rosmarinus officinalis exerts relaxant effects on intestinal smooth
muscle, consistent with the popular use of the plant to treat gastrointestinal disorders. This
study was supported by PAPIIT (grant IN201809-3).

Tacrolimus is a macrolide immunosuppressant that is safe and effective for the prevention of
rejection after kidney transplantation. The oral bioavailability of tacrolimus averages 20% to 25%;
however, the inter-individual variability in this parameter is large. Because of the poor correlation
of dose to blood concentration between patients, the variability in pharmacokinetics and a
relatively narrow therapeutic window, therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus trough whole blood
concentrations must be a standard practice. The objective of this evaluation was to determine the
relationship among changes in hematocrit, albumin, and corticosteroid dosing on the disposition of
tacrolimus during 6 months of treatment in renal transplant recipients. Study Design. Blood
samples for the determination of trough tacrolimus concentrations were taken immediately prior to
the morning dose, samples were collected according to the request of the attending physician.
Clinical and dosage data were reviewed 6 months after transplantation. The analysis was
conducted including 11 patients who were analyzed for hematocrit and albumin at the same time
they are measured tacrolimus blood levels. Results. The mean age was 25.3 years (range 17 to
41 years) 4 of the patients were female. Levels of tacrolimus, hematocrit and albumin over the first
24 weeks post-transplant were documented and the estimated relative clearance of tacrolimus
were calculated. Statistical evaluation of the data indicates poor correlation between relative
clearance and both hematocrit and albumin levels and the mean oral steroid dose. Conclusions.
This observation is of clinical significance because dose adjustment may be required to maintain
blood concentrations within the therapeutic range in patients in whom hematocrit or albumin
concentrations are changing.

Adrenergic receptors play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure. Diabetes and
hypertension affect this mechanism, producing changes in vascular responses and exacerbating
cardiovascular diseases. Several studies have mentioned that vascular changes are different in
the early versus advanced stages of diabetes. For instance, in a recent study by our work group, a
decrease in the vasopressor response to noradrenaline was found at 4 weeks of the evolution of
diabetes in Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (SHR). Among the changes
that could take place in the early stages of diabetes to cause this decrease in vascular response is
a decrease in the expression of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therefore, the aim of the present
study was to assess, by Western blot, the expression of the three subtypes of alpha-1 adrenergic
receptors (alpha-1A,alpha-1B, alpha-1D) in the aorta of WKY and SHR rats with 4 weeks of the
evolution of diabetes. The results show that whereas the condition of diabetes in WKY rats did not
modify the expression of alpha-1B or alpha-1D receptors, the expression of alpha-1A was
decreased compared with non-diabetic WKY group. On the other hand, this same condition in
SHR rats led to a decrease in the expression of both alpha-1A and alpha-1D receptors, with no
change observed in alpha-1B expression. In conclusion, the early stages of diabetes produce
modifications in the expression of alfa-1 adrenergic receptors that could explain the decrease
found in vascular responses. This work was supported by a CONACYT grant (#82599) and SIP

The diabetogenic doses of streptozotocin (STZ) in rodents are well known but diabetes
differs from study to study, where this variation may be related to the induction scheme,
severity of the diabetes and/or the strain of the animal model used. Therefore, we performed
a study in which we determined the sensitivity of adult Wistar rat at two doses of STZ. A
single high dose injection of STZ (HI STZ, 70 mg/kg, i.p.), and a single low dose injection of
STZ (LO STZ, 50 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered at two groups of animals (n=10). Control
animals were injected with saline solution. The animals were continuously observed during
30 days after STZ administration. Lethality, induction of diabetes, STZ resistant and body
weight parameters were registered. Lethality, 70 and 10%; induction of diabetes, 20 and 70%
(blood glucose levels > 250 mg/dL); STZ resistant, 10 and 20% were produced at HI and LO
STZ respectively. At final experiments, rats with LO and HI STZ lost body weight (16 and
20% respectively) compared with initial body weight, while body weights of saline-treated
controls gradually increased over time. Our results suggest that the LO STZ may be used as
induction scheme of diabetes. This study was supported by PFICA (UJAT-2009-CO5-05).

ParkinsonВґs disease (PD) is a neurological disorder characterized by degeneration and death of
the dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway. Oxidative stress, via free radical
production, plays an important role in its neurodegeneration. Antioxidants show effectiveness in
reducing these deleterious effects. S-allylcysteine (SAC), the most abundant organosulfur
compound in aged garlic extract, has multifunctional activity via different mechanisms and
neuroprotective effects, exerted probably via its antioxidant or free radical scavenger action. 1methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated mouse has been the most widely used
model for assessing neuroprotective agents for PD. 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) is the
stable metabolite of MPTP and causes nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity. Oxidative stress,
via free radical production, plays an important role in MPP +-induced neurotoxicity. We report the
neuroprotective effect of SAC against oxidative stress induced by MPP+ in striatum of C57BL/6J
mice. Mice were pretreated with SAC (125 mg/kg, ip) daily for 17 days followed by MPP +
administration (0.72 mg/kg, intracerebroventricular), and were sacrificed 24 h later to evaluate
different indexes of oxidative stress such as lipid peroxidation, and different antioxidant enzymes
by a spectrophotometric method. Spontaneous locomotor activity using an open field system
(behavioral phenotype), and dopamine content by HPLC (neurotransmitter mainly affected). MPP+
administration resulted in a significant decrease in dopamine levels in the striatum. Mice receiving
SAC (125 mg/kg, ip) had significantly attenuated MPP+-induced loss of striatal dopamine levels
(32%). The neuroprotective effect of SAC against MPP+ neurotoxicity was associated with blocked
(100% of protection) of lipid peroxidation and reduction of superoxide radical production—
indicated by an upregulation of Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase activity—both of which are indices of
oxidative stress. Behavioral analyses showed that SAC improved MPP +-induced impairment of
locomotion (35%). We suggest that SAC attenuates locomotor impairment produced by MPP +
neurotoxicity, and that an antioxidant effect against oxidative stress may be partly responsible for
its neuroprotective effects.

Ketorolac is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) with analgesic effect widely used in
the treatment of postoperative pain, which in its adverse effects ketorolac causes severe gastric
lesions. In this study the effect of the gastroprotective compounds carbenoxolone (synthetic) and
3- -hidroximasticadienonic acid (triterpene isolated from the bark of Amphiterygium adstringens)
was evaluated against gastric damage induced by ketorolac in rat. Wistar female rats were used
(170-180 g). Control groups of ketorolac (50 mg/kg p.o.), carbenoxolone (100 mg/kg p.o.) and 3-пЃЎhidroximasticadienonic acid (100 mg/kg p.o.) were formed; groups of carbenoxolone (100 mg/kg
p.o.) or triterpene (100 mg/kg p.o.) with ketorolac (50 mg/kg p.o.) were evaluated for their
gastroprotective effect. After 3 hours the number of hemorrhagic gastric lesions was determined.
Results showed a statically significant reduction in the number of gastric lesions presents with the
combination of carbenoxolone or 3-a-hidroximasticadienonic acid with ketorolac compared with
the use of ketorolac alone. In conclusion, our results suggest the gastroprotective effect of both
compounds in ketorolac-induced gastric damage in the rat. The combination of those compounds
with NSAIDs should be considered as alternative to reduce gastric adverse effects.

We studied modifications produced in rats females adults by the administration with
treatments applied neonatally to the rats, since they can interact during the sexual
differentiation and trying to revert these modifications with a phytoestrogen (Coumestrol). We
analyzed modifications to the body weight of hypothalamus, and reproductive tract as well as
measured and structures of this last one, besides observing changes in the sexual behavior
of the rats. Females were used offspring of Wistar rats, that were divided in 4 groups of 5 rats
to which at the time of been born hormonal treatments were administered to them that were:
Group one or Control (GC) safflower oil also used like vehicle (20Вµl), group two Coumestrol
(Cou) 100 Вµg in 20Вµl of vehicle, group three Testosterone Propionate (TP) 30 Вµg in 20 Вµl of
vehicle and group four Coumestrol-Testosterone Propionate (TP+Cou) 30 Вµg and 100 Вµg
respectively in 40 Вµl of vehicle. The rats were weight every week until the 120 days of age,
subsequent to this were sacrificed and the weight of the reproductive tract and the
hypothalamus was obtained. The sexual conduct was evaluated with stallion and its express
receptivity by the Quotient of Lordosis (QL). The variations of weight in reproductive tracts
were visible thus also like in their longitudinal measures. In order to compare the results
obtained between the groups, and differences between these an Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) was realized. Subsequent to this we realized the test of Tukey. The sexual
behavior was modified like the presence of vaginal opening, being the treatment of
testosterone propionate Testosterone the one that obtained more morphologic changes and
without managing to revert these modifications with the treatment of Coumestrol (p<0.05).

Dopamine plays an important role in cardiovascular regulation by interacting with D 1-like and
D2-like receptors (and, sometimes, with adrenoceptors). Indeed, our group has recently
shown that activation of prejunctional D2-like receptors inhibits the sympathetic vasopressor
outflow in pithed rats. This study set out to establish the role of the corresponding subtypes
(i.e. D2, D3 and D4) in the above sympatho-inhibition. Pithed rats were treated i.v. with
gallamine (25 mg/kg) and desipramine (50 Ојg/kg), followed by i.v. continuous infusions of
saline (0.02 ml/min) or quinpirole (D2-like receptor agonist; 1 Ојg/kg.min) in animals receiving
i.v. vehicle or the subtype-selective antagonists L-741,626 (D2), nafadotride (D3) or L-745,870
(D4). Then, stimulus-response curves (electrical stimulation of the spinal T 7-T9 segments;
0.03-3 Hz; 50 V and 2 msec) resulted in frequency-dependent vasopressor responses.
Quinpirole inhibited the sympathetic vasopressor outflow (without affecting the vasopressor
responses to i.v. noradrenaline). This quinpirole-induced sympatho-inhibition was: (i)
unaltered by 100 Ојg/kg L-741,626; (ii) partially blocked by 100 Ојg/kg L-745,870 and 30 Ојg/kg
nafadotride; and (ii) abolished by 100 Ојg/kg nafadotride. These doses of antagonists (which
are high enough to completely block their respective receptors), did not modify per se the
sympathetically-induced vasopressor responses. The above results suggest that the D 2-like
receptors mediating quinpirole-induced inhibition of the sympathetic vasopressor outflow
closely resemble the activation of the D3 and, to a lesser extent D4 receptors subtypes.

S. schenckii is a dimorphic fungal pathogen, and is the causing agent of sporotrichosis. In
this work the epithelial cell response to invasive infection by S. schenckii; which was exposed
to antifungal drugs was analyzed. Strain MP-102 S. schenckii was growth in YPG medium by
72h at 37В°C. After, antifungal drugs treatments (azoles=500Ојg/mL and polyene=100Вµg/mL), it
is realized S. schenckii – epithelium cell interaction. The results shown that normally, there is
an intimate adherence of the pathogen to epithelial cells. The growth kinetics showed that
azoles (Itraconazole and Fluconazole), affect growth (40% and 27%), while Ketoconazole
proved to be ineffective. Amphotericin B, a drug from the polyene family, drastically affected
growth (98%). Structurally, anti-cytoskeleton antibodies indicated alteration in the structures
of the cells that interacted with the fungi exposed to antifungal agents. The epithelial cell
damage is similar to that caused S. schenckii without drug treatment. Moreover, three S.
schenckii antigenic proteins (Mr ≥ 90, 70 and 40kD) were expressed, with the
pharmacological stress and in its absence. The results of this study, indicate protein
synthesis is not affected even after pharmacological stress, pathogenicity factors that affect
the epithelium integrity prevail. This will have an impact, on the evaluation of an effective
therapy for sporotrichosis.

On Faculty of Medicine, UNAM during more than 50 years departmental examinations had
been made and there were not had found references to validate them. Interesting having
quality assessments, this work explores to know validity of assessment used to test a test of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in school year 2009-2010, in his case, we selected the
accepted questions and we had suggested to discard the unfit. In this study we had used
four techniques: 1) Index of difficulty (Pi), which is the relationship between the rate of
questions with right answers between the number of total questions, 2) Discrimination index
(Di), which discriminates between 27% of items that they have the highest score against 27%
of those who have the lowest, 3) Coefficient of discrimination (Rpbis), where it involves 100%
and 4) Alpha of Cronbach which gives the reliability of the reagents and indicates what would
happen to database if it eliminates some questions to be able to change untrusted items. The
significance of this work is to identify the questions that complies with at least three of the
four techniques of validation to form a bank of items; questions that are not in these
circumstances it was suggested to be eliminated or modified to revalue to enrich the bank
reagents. The results indicate that 276 questions that constitute 100% of those applied in the
4 departmental examinations, 22 (8%), not covered with any of the 4 techniques; 45
questions (16%), only one; 35 (13%), with two; 80 (29%), with three and 94 (34%), with the 4
techniques here worked. It was concluded that from 276 questions employed in the four
exams at period 2009-2010, 174 (69%) are well developed and 102 (31%), should be revised
or deleted to improve the standards of quality.

In the last years our research group has been studying anxiety vulnerable individuals in rats.
In a previous study, we have reported increased anxiety response elicited by diazepam (Dz)
administration in a subgroup of rats. A paradoxical effect of benzodiazepines, i.e.,
anxiogenic, rather anxiolytic one has also been reported. Thus, the present work was
performed with the aim to demonstrate a putative anxiogenic action of diazepam
administration in rats in the elevated plus maze (EPM) anxiety animal model. In the present
research male Wistrar rats were used. The groups tested in the EPM model were: Control
non-manipulated, saline control and diazepam 1, 3 and 5 mg /kg. The test lasted 5 min and
was performed in a red dim light room. The time that animals spend on the open arms and
the number of crossings from closed to open arms was recorded. A group of control nonmanipulated animals were retested in the EPM after Dz 1 mg/kg IP injection. Collected data
was analyzed by Kruskal Wallis ANOVA followed by the Mann Whitney U test. A group of
animals showing extremely low (paradoxical) open arms time values despite Dz injection
were observed. The percent of paradoxical subjects per group was 15.7, 8.3 and 20 for 1, 3,
and 5 mg/kg respectively. Control non manipulated and saline groups showed 17.6 and 31 %
of paradoxical subjects. It is interesting to note that Dz 1 mg/kg did not exert any effect in
paradoxical control non-manipulated animals. The results are discussed in terms of anxiety
vulnerable animal subgroup. The possibility of atypical GABA A mode of functioning is also
discussed.
UP REGULATION OF MRNA OF 5-HT3 RECEPTOR IN TASTE BUDS FROM RATS WITH

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia.
In patients with diabetes mellitus there are reports of changes in taste perception. Taste is a
vital sense for preventing consumption of poisonous foods as well as searching for nutrients.
Taste sensation is transduced in secondary sensory cells located at the taste buds which are
specialized structures in the oral cavity. Reported results show that the taste buds in the adult
rat express two types of serotonin receptors: receptor type 5-HT1A and 5-HT3. 5-HT1A
receptors are located in taste cells that do not express serotonin, in type II cells, while 5-HT3
receptors are expressed in gustatory afferent fibers. Alterations of taste are characteristics of
diabetic patients, however, is not known whether the Diabetes Mellitus there are changes in
the expression of the mRNA of the 5-HT3 receptor involved in taste perception and
transmission. The aim of the present study was to determine if the expression mRNA of 5HT3 receptor changes in the circumvallate papilla of rats with experimental diabetes mellitus
(EDM). We determined the expression of mRNA of the 5-HT3 receptor by RT-PCR in the
circumvallate papilla of rats with one week and eight weeks of EDM. The results showed that
at one week of EDM there are no changes in the expressions and at 8 weeks there are
increases of the expression of the mRNA of 5-HT3 receptor. These data suggest us that the
up regulation in the expression of 5-HT3 receptor in chronically diabetes mellitus is a
compensatory mechanism in order to transduce gustatory signals. The present work was

Due to high glucose levels in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) proteins experience glycation. Structural
changes of glycated proteins induce physiological complications in T2DM by the formation of
advanced glycation end products. Studies on mice, rabbits and diabetic patients showed that
glycine significantly decreases the hemoglobin glycation, suggesting that this amino acid may
prevent protein glycation. To evaluate the glicine therapeutic effects we used CD-1 mice as an
experimental model of DM. Three mice groups were formed: 1) a healthy group as negative
control, 2) a diabetic groups as positive control, and 3) a diabetic group treated with glycine (0.1 g
/ kg). Cholinesterase activity was measured by the Ellman method, and the total protein by the
Bradford method. Glycated proteins were recovered from an affinity matrix such as boronic acid or
lectins. The specific activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) increased 30% in diabetic mice with
respect to the healthy control. For butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), on the other hand, the specific
activity increased two fold against the healthy control. Similar observations have been described
for human diabetic patients (Salceda et al., 2000). Upon glycine treatment, no significant
differences were detected in the amount of glycated AChE, whereas BuChE displayed an opposite
behavior. Further, lectins assay suggest that the post-trascriptional processing in both AChE and
BuChE is impaired in the DM group, while the role of glycine is associated to the decrease of
specific glicosilation and glycation. Glycine treatment apparently reflects a decrease in the
incorporation of oligosaccharides and abnormal protein glycation.

Amebiasis caused by parasite Entamoeba histolytica, affects more than 10% of the world’s
population, and untreated infection may lead to severe complications including hepatic amebiasis
and intestinal tissue destruction. More than 50 million people worldwide are infected, and up
to110,000 of them die every year. Only malaria and schistosomiasis surpass amebiasis as
parasitic causes of death. Metronidazole and other 5-nitroimidazoles are the most commonly used
drugs for the treatment of amebiasis. Besides their relative ineffectiveness against luminal cyts,
these drugs have serious side effects. Therefore, there is a necessity for new drugs to treat the
disease. In this context, as E. histolytica depends on glycolysis to obtain ATP for cellular work.
According to metabolic flux studies, hexokinase exerts the highest flux control in this metabolic
pathway. For this reason we used to search inhibitors through molecular docking and kinetics
assays. First a tridimensional model of Entamoeba histolytica hexokinase (EhHK) was constructed
by homology modeling. Docking at the ATP binding site in the enzyme was made using MOE
software and the Hit Finder library of small molecules from Maybridge. The one hundred
molecules with the best score in docking were purchased and assessed to determine their
inhibition capability. Results showed that three molecules inhibited EhHK with an IC 50 of 48 ОјM for
disodium 5-nitro-2-[2-(4-nitro-2-sulfonatophenyl)vinyl]benzenesulfonate (C1), 91 ОјM for 3,5di(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-one (C2) and 96 ОјM for 5,6,7-trimethoxy-2(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzylidene)indan-1-one (C3). Docking analyses indicated that compound C1
made a hydrogen bond with Arg66, C2 with Thr63, Arg66, Arg320 and Thr396, while C3 did it with
Thr63, Arg320 and Thr396. Furthermore, aminoacids Gly203, Gly395 and Thr396 were common
for the interaction of these small molecules with the enzyme. In conclusion, we found three new
inhibitors of EhHK that can serve as leads in the search of a new chemotherapy against
amebiasis.

STUDY OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE ADRENERGIC SYSTEM AND RENINANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM AT VASCULAR LEVEL. SebastiГЎn G., EstГ©vez M., Franco A.,
Hong E., VillafaГ±a S. National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico. Email:[email protected]
The main difficulty to identify the causal mechanisms of arterial hypertension and achieve an
optimal control is the wide variety of systems involved in blood pressure regulation and the
complex interaction between them. Some of the most important are the adrenergic and reninangiotensin systems through its receptors such as О±1 (О±1A, 1B and 1D) and the AT1 and
AT2 receptors respectively. Due to the importance of these systems the aim of this study was
to evaluate in vitro the interaction between AT1 and О±1 adrenergic receptors. We used
endothelium-denuded aortic rings from male Wistar rats, the aortic rings were placed in 10 ml
chambers with Krebs-Henseleit solution at 37 В°C and pH 7.4 with constant oxygenation (95%
O2, 5%CO2), the contractile force was recorded with a Grass Instruments equipment.
Concentration-response curves to phenylephrine, angiotensin II and phenylephrine with
different concentrations of angiotensin II were constructed. The results obtained showed that
the combination of phenylephrine and angiotensin II at lower concentrations produce higher
responses to phenylephrine than phenylephrine alone, however when we increase the
concentrations of both agonist appears a decrease in the magnitude of the responses. These
results suggest that when two agonists with common signaling pathways are combined at
lower concentration the response obtained is like a synergistic effect, but as their
concentrations are increased there is a competition at transductional level that decrease the
contractile responses. This work was supported by IPN-SIP-20100592

Depression is one of the most prevalent, serious, recurrent, incapacitating and costly
psychopathologies worldwide with an incidence of 15-25%. Oxidative stress, via free radical
production, plays a role in depression and animal models for depression-like behavior. Preclinical
studies have suggested that antioxidants may have antidepressants properties. EGb761 is a welldefined mixture of active compounds extracted from Ginkgo biloba leaves. This extract is used
clinically due to its neuroprotective effects, exerted probably via its potent antioxidant or free
radical scavenger action. The aim of this study was to investigate the antidepressant-like effect of
EGb761 due to its antioxidant role against oxidative stress induced in the forced swimming test,
the most widely used preclinical model for assessing antidepressant-like behavior. Male BALB/c
mice were pretreated with EGb761 (10 mg/kg, ip) daily for 17 days followed by the forced
swimming test and spontaneous locomotor activity. Animals were sacrificed to evaluate indexes of
oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, different antioxidant enzyme activities) by spectrophotometric
method. Neurotransmitters related to depression/depression-like behavior such as serotonin and
dopamine in different brain regions (midbrain, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex) using an HPLC
method. EGb761 significantly decreased the immobility time (39%) in the forced swimming test.
This antidepressant-like effect of EGb761 was associated with a reduction in lipid peroxidation and
superoxide radical production (indicated by a downregulation of Mn-superoxide dismutase
activity), both of which are indicators of oxidative stress. The protective effect of EGb761 is not
related to excitatory or inhibitory effects in locomotor activity, and was also associated with the
modulation of serotonergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission in mesocortical and mesolimbic
pathways. It is suggested that EGb761 produces an antidepressant-like effect, and that an
antioxidant effect against oxidative stress may be partly responsible for its observed
neuroprotective effects.

Metformin (Mt) is an insulin-sensitizing biguanide used to treat type 2 diabetes (DM2).
Despite its benefits in overweight patients with or without DM2, its antioxidant activity has not
been widely studied. Paraoxonase is an antioxidant enzyme related to High Density
Lipoproteins (HDL) that prevents lipid peroxidation. We wonder if the beneficial effects of Mt
can be linked to modulation of PON activity. The aim of this study was to explore the effects
on PON activity in non diabetic obese adults treated with Mt. We enrolled sixty patients with
metabolic syndrome (MS) from the Risk Factors Outpatient Clinic of the Cardiovascular Unit,
Regional Hospital ―1° de Octubre, ISSSTE‖. Patients were randomly assigned into two
groups. Both groups received similar dietary counseling, but one group received 850 mg
metformin daily during one year. Blood samples were obtained at the beginning and the end
of the study and PON activity was determined. HDL concentration and paraoxonase activity
were similar in both groups at the start of the study. After 1 year, there were no differences on
HDL concentration between groups. However, treated group revealed significantly higher
paraoxonase activity than the control group (3.2 В± 2.3 vs 5.7 В± 3.3 nmol p-nitrophenol/mg
prot). Our results show that even in the absence of a net increase in HDL concentration, the
MT-induced an increase in PON activity. This increase may have preventive effects on
cardiovascular risk related to oxidative stress. Further studies are required in order to
elucidate the mechanism(s) by which Mt increases PON activity.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS IN THE PREVENTION OF

Alcoholic liver cirrhosis is a condition that, at present, is among the leading causes of death
worldwide. The liver damage characteristic in cirrhosis is caused, among others, by increasing
free radicals which trigger oxidative stress, and promoting disease progression. Currently there
are few treatment options, so it is important to study alternative prophylactic therapy in alcoholic
cirrhosis, such as herbal medicine, with high antioxidant effect, as the case of Rosmarinus
officinalis. In this work we studied the prophylactic effect of Rosmarinus officinalis in experimental
alcoholic cirrhosis. Male Wistar rats (100-150 g) were divided into 4 experimental groups, which
were orally administered for 12 weeks: 1) vehicle control group (saline); 2) cirrhosis group (3 g/kg,
35% ethanol in saline); 3) Group R. officinalis (10 mg/kg); 4) Prevention Group: co-administration
of ethanol + R. officinalis (similar schemes to groups 2 and 3). At the end of treatments was
determined oxidative stress, enzymatic and metabolic indicators of liver damage, histology and
tumor markers. R. officinalis prevents the increase of lipid peroxidation induced by ethanol, and
the loss of red cell membrane stability, recovering to normal. Similarly, depletion in glycogen
storage was avoided by R. officinalis, which is consistent with partial reduction of bilirubin levels
and activity of пЃ§-GTP, ALT and AST. Measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and alphafetoprotein (AFP) in cirrhosis, indicated an increase over the control (493% and 110%
respectively), which was prevented in a greater extent for CEA (27%) and partly for AFP (73%), to
administer R. officinalis. The biochemical findings were confirmed by histological studies, where
the distortion of the hepatic parenchyma and collagen deposition was prevented by treatment with
R. officinalis. These results suggest a prophylactic effect of Rosmarinus officinalis, that could be
used in the management of chronic liver damage. Project funded by SEP-PIFOP 2002-33-04 and

The development of D2 dopamine receptor (D2DR) ligands is an attractive task, as D2DRagonists are used for Parkinson disease treatment, and D2DR-antagonists are potentially
applicable in schizophrenia or drug-dependence. The aim of the current contribution was to
identify high affinity D2DR-ligands by building a D2DR tridimensional homology model and
carrying out both model validation and screening studies for well-known and new proposed
ligands. We found boron containing compounds with the predicted high affinity for D2DR, then
characterized one such compound. This compound was tested in mice and according to the
LD50 showed an acute toxicity similar to an equimolar quantity of levodopa. In addition, the
intraperitoneal administration of this compound, in aqueous solution or in liposomal
formulation, disrupted the locomotor activity evaluated in an open field model, rotarod, gait
and pole tests. These results suggest that this new compound acts on the dopaminergic
system
of
mice.

Salbutamol is a well-known partial agonist at the ОІ2 adrenoceptor (ОІ2AR). In previous works
we have reported the development of two boron-containing salbutamol derivatives (BCSD)
possessing greater potency and efficacy than its precursor for inducing ОІ 2AR-mediated
smooth muscle relaxation in guinea-pig tracheal rings. However, the mechanism involved in
this pharmacological effect is unknown. In order to obtain insight into this issue, we carried
out binding and functional assays in HEK-293T cells transfected with the human ОІ2AR
(hОІ2AR). The transfected hОІ2AR showed similar affinity for BCSD and salbutamol, but BCSD
were more potent and efficacious to induce the accumulation of endogenous cAMP. In
addition, molecular modeling showed high affinity of BCSD on the hОІ 2AR and differences in
their interaction with the fifth and sixth transmembrane receptor domains in its active and
inactive conformational states. Together, these data show that BCSD induce and stabilize
conformational states of the hОІ2AR with high capability to stimulate AMPc production and
thus smooth muscle relaxation. Funded by grants from SIP-IPN and CONACyT.

Levodopa administration is considered a cornerstone in the palliative Parkinson’s Disease
(PD) treatment. The strategies for improving the ability of this drug to reach to Central
Nervous System (CNS) have been studied widely, obtaining some advances in this field. In
this work, we developed several liposomal formulations containing equivalent levodopa
amounts included in nanoparticles (all smaller than 450 nm, measured by atomic force
microscopy). A notable improvement was found regarding dopamine availability in the CNS
compared to levodopa administration in aqueous solution. Then, we measured the effects of
its intraperitoneal administration on total motor activity, rotarod, gait and pole tests on a acute
1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induced murine PD model. The
observed effects in these tests depended on the nanoparticle composition, which could be
related to the dopamine level in the CNS of the treated mice. Funded by grants from SIP-IPN,

Mexican traditional medicine used a great variety of plants to treat different diseases, one of
which is Senna villosa Mill. (Leguminosae) commonly named SalchГ©, which grows in
Peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico. The ancient Mayas used the leaves to ease unidentified skin
infections, dysmenorrhea and inflammatory diseases. The leaves were extracted with CHCl 3
under reflux for 4 hours, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue
was chromatographed on silica gel and eluted with hexane, while increasing the polarity with
ethyl acetate. The antiinflamatory effect, were studied on 12- O-tetradecanoil phorbol-13acetate (TPA) induced ear edema on mice. Edema was induced on the right ear by topical
application of 2.5 Ојg/ear TPA (in 20 Ојg/acetone). The left ear (control) received the vehicle
(acetone). Chloroform extract and the (8-hydroximethylen)-trieicosanyl acetate and
indomethacin 2.0 mg/ear dissolved in acetone were applied 30 minutes after TPA
administration to the right ear. The left ear was treated with the vehicle (acetone) only. The
extent of inflammation in the control group was determined as the difference in the weight of
the TPA-inflamed ear and the vehicle-treated ear. In all groups, the edema was allowed to
develop for 6 hours. Then, the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and plugs
(diameter of 6 mm) of the central portion were taken from both ears and weighed. The
chloroform extract of Senna villosa and its component (8-hydroximethylen)-trieicosanyl
acetate showed an anti-inflammatory effect, making 39.77В±4.74 and 36.24В±7.9 percent of
inhibition, respectively, while indomethacin caused the 33.91В±6.39 percent of inhibition.
Because the induced inflammatory effect by TPA is the result of the acute inflammation that
stimulate the production of araquidonic acid, several prostaglandins and leucotrienes (2,3,4),
the anti-inflammatory effect of Senna villosa may be explained by inhibition of the
phospholipase A2 and, consequently, synthesis of prostaglandins.

Deficiency of iron is the nutritional deficiency most prevalent and the main cause of anemia
around the world. Due to Its high concentration of iron Urtica dioica is used popularly to counteract
anemia. The goal of this study is to determine the ability of two varieties of Urtica dioica to
stimulate the proliferation of hematopoietic cells in vitro.The plants were acquired in the "Sonora
Market" of Mexico City, dried aerial parts of each plant were ground and macerated separately in
hexane, dichloromethane, methanol and water at room temperature for 24 hours, solvents were
removed until total dryness. Also a decoction of the aerial parts was prepared. Dilutions of 1, 10
and 100 Вµg/mL were prepared for in vitro assays. CD1 female mice 8-12 weeks were sacrificed by
cervical dislocation, bone marrow and spleen cells were obtained and cultured with RPMI-1640
medium supplemented with 10% of inactivated calf serum. Cultures were incubated at 37В°C for 72
hours with 5% CO2 and 95% air. Control cultures without extracts were prepared simultaneously.
Each extract was assayed four times by triplicate.Concentration of 100 Вµg/mL from hexane extract
and decoction of U. dioica L. stimulated the proliferation of spleen cells, increasing 1.8 times the
cell population compared to control cultures. Other materials presented cytostatic effect, except
concentrations of 100 and 10 Вµg/mL of methanol extract which inhibited 50 and 80% the cell
proliferation, respectively. While, only concentration 10 Вµg/mL of the aqueous extracts from U.
dioica var. angustifolia had stimulating activity. Concerning bone marrow cultures, concentration of
100 Вµg/mL of methanol and watery extracts from U. dioica L stimulated the cell proliferation
significantly, other doses increased poorly the cell concentration. Meanwhile U. dioica var.
angustifolia presented cytostatic effect. U. dioica L had better hematopoietic activity than U. dioica
var. angustifolia.

Urtica dioica L. and Urtica dioica var. angustifolia (Urticaceae) are annual plants, widely distributed
in the Northern hemisphere, southern Africa and Australia. In Mexico both plants are used as
tonic, astringent, antiallergenic, antianemic and to treat several dermatological and gastrointestinal
infections. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the ability of U. dioica L and U. dioica var.
angustifolia to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Both plants were acquired in the "Sonora market" of
Mexico City, dried aerial parts of each plant were grind and macerated consecutively in hexane,
dichloromethane, methanol and water at room temperature for 24 hours, solvents were removed
until total dryness. The antibacterial activity was assessed by the method of resazurina, which
allows to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration. Solutions of penicillin-streptomycin and
dimethyl sulfoxide were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Doses from 0.039 to
5.0 mg/mL of each extract were tested with the following bacteria; Escherichia coli, Salmonella
typhi, S. typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus
subtilis. The test was carried out three times by triplicate. Hexane and dichloromethane extracts
from U. dioica L. inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium, S. flexnery and B. subtilis, at minimal
dose of 0.83, 0.729 and 0.93 mg/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, hexane and dichloromethane
extracts from U. dioica var. angustifolia inhibited the growth of S. typhi and S. typhimurium with
minimal doses of 0.62 and 0.76 mg/mL, respectively. Extracts of U. dioica L. presented greater
range of antibacterial activity. However, extracts of U. dioica var. angustifolia inhibited the
development of bacteria with low doses, so it can be concluded that the latter has better
antibacterial activity.

It has been found a strong relationship between exposure to high concentrations of arsenic in
drinking water and reduction of the expression of CYT P450, particularly the CYP3A4
isoform. Many drugs are metabolized by this isoform among which are the oral antidiabetic
pioglitazone (61% CYP 3A4, 49% CYP 2C8). A negative expression of this isoform leads to
poor treatment in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, which will be exposed to inaccurate
drug dose and probably ineffective or toxic. In this research we explore the hypothesis that
pioglitazone pharmacokinetics observed in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus
exposed to high concentrations of arsenic is significantly different (p> 0.05) than the control
population. Samples were obtained urine and plasma of a control group (n = 13) and diabetic
(n = 23), which were analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy / hydride generation and HPLC
respectively. Both populations showed no significant differences (p> 0.05) in anthropometric
parameters as assumed homogeneity, so neither found a difference in clinical parameters
and exposure levels of both populations was found to be the same level of exposition (>0.025
ppm, NOM-127 SSA1-1998). It was found that exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking
water could be an influence for change pharmacokinetics parameters like Ka and Cl showing
-1
that the values obtained from the control population are 4.8 h and 1.4 L/h respectively
(p≥0.05) higher than the diabetic, also we found that the AUC0-t in the diabetic population is
1.2 higher than control (p≥0.05) suggesting a change in Bioavailability of the drug. No
significant difference was found between pharmacokinetics parameter variations and its
relationship with arsenic or any other factor studied in this investigation. However, we
observed a marked tendency in the diabetic population suggests arsenic may eventually
change its bioavailability due to damage caused in the expression of CYP 3A4.

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a complication with a serious impact in the physical,
psychological and economic status of people who suffer it. Among the drugs used in its
treatment is the carbamazepine, whose mechanism of neuropathic pain relief may be due to
altered activity of sodium channels and modulation of GABA activity. In addition, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac sodium have been widely used in the
reduction of nociceptive pain. That’s why, in this work we conducted a comparative analysis
of clinical improvement experienced by patients with diabetic neuropathy treated with
diclofenac sodium or those treated with carbamazepine. For this purpose, were performed 2
groups of diabetic patients who showed signs and symptoms of ND. The first group of 30
patients, treatment was started with initial dose of carbamazepine 200 mg every 24 h. for a
week, the dose was increased gradually to 200 mg every 6 h. for 10 months. The second
group of 29 patients received treatment with diclofenac sodium 100 mg tablets every 12 h. for
the same time. Bimonthly were evaluated clinical signs and symptoms of this complication. In
our work we observed that both groups of patients had clinical improvement of pain, muscle
strength and perception, but in patients treated with carbamazepine such improvements are
more remarkable, showing significant difference with the group treated with diclofenac
sodium. With these data we can conclude that the use of carbamazepine is more appropriate
in the treatment of DN.

It is know that drug resistance of neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors is due to H274Y mutation.
Hence, with the aim to find new compounds with greater affinity than oseltamivir and also, to
avoid the NA resistance, we have designed a set of 109 oseltamivir derivatives bearing
anhydrides and aryl moities. Designed compounds were docked using NA wild type and the
H274Y mutate with the aim to get a drug to treat the influenza. Protein alignment study was
achieved to identify the local (at binding sites) mutations and 3-D models were builtd for
recognition of potential sites purposes. Virtual screening was achieved using AutoDock 4.0.1.
whereas AutoDockTools 1.5.2. and Pymol 1.3. were used to show ligand-protein interactions.
Our results show that NA sequences have several mutations outside the active site while the
binding site is highly conserved except for H275Y residue. Several anhydrides and aryl
derivatives showed better inhibitory activity than oseltamivir. However, the binding mode is
different for the former compounds whereas the latter ones show the same binding mode that
oseltamivir through ПЂ-cation interactions (Arg118, 151 y 292) and ПЂ-ПЂ (Tyr406). It is
important to note that some compounds reach the catalytic site. The work was supported by

Aminoglycosides (AG) such as streptomycin (STP) or gentamycin are clinically used to treat
stubborn infections. In MГ©xico tuberculosis patients are successfully treated with 1g/day for
over 6 months. Along treatment ototoxicity is established. In young people STP damages the
vestibule of the ear; in elder patients it deranges audition also. These effects are due to
streptidine, an ―in vivo‖ derivative of STP produced in elder patients detected in blood by
liquid chromatography. On occasion sudden deafness is established after a short treatment
period, results of the presence of a single nucleotide mutation in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA
gene. In this, AG produce a stereotypic conformation similar to the bacterial 16S rRNA thus
inhibiting the synthesis of proteins. Many AG sensitive mutations have been described in
several ethnic groups, causing sudden deafness. We started similar studies in Mexican
individuals, treated or not with AG, to finding out whether similar alterations could be
detected. To date in over 60 individuals analyzed we found only one case of polymorphism in
a STP treated patient. Presently, we developed a simple method to identify such
mitochondrial gene in a larger population to make recommendations to use an alternative
treatment which do not cause ototoxicity in the mutation bearing patient.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder, characterized by profound disruptions in thinking,
affecting language, perception, and the sense of self […]‖ (WHO).The distribution of the
disease is universal, and early 20s the most common age of onset, with a prevalence of
approximately 1%. Although the pathogenesis has not yet been determined accurately,
neurodevelopmental, structural, molecular and psychosocial factors have been linked to this
disorder. In the Pathology Department of the Psychiatric Hospital "Fray Bernardino ГЃlvarez"
there are 410 autopsy cases with diagnosis of mental disease, and 52 of them of
schizophrenia. For this study, we chose the case of a 59 year old male patient diagnosed
with chronic undifferentiated schizophrenia, with background of head trauma at 8 years old,
chronic alcoholism since 20 years old, and autism with visual and auditory hallucinations of
34 years; the cause of death was upper digestive tract haemorrhage. The aim of this study is
to describe the neuropathological findings in the autopsy material and their relationship with
the symptoms seen. The tissues were paraffin-embedded and stained with argentaffin
techniques in order to perform photonic microscopy (through a Leica device). The study of
the autopsy showed pachygyria and lissencephaly in middle brain and obvious histological
changes in different structures of the central nervous system, such as migration failure,
cortical dysplasia (CD), bipolar neurons, and heterotopias. All the above were predominantly
observed in frontal and temporal cortex and cerebellum. It is known that the onset of
schizophrenia is related to structural alterations. The histopathological findings of this work
resemble neurodevelopmental disorders in a case of schizophrenia.

Epigenetic processes are implicated in cancer causation and progression. The acetylation
status of histones regulates access of transcription factors to DNA and influences levels of
gene expression. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity diminishes acetylation of histones,
causing compaction of the DNA/histone complex. This compaction blocks gene transcription
and inhibits differentiation. In this work we studied a series of isoindolines-2-susbtituted
derived from a-amino acids as new HDAC inhibitors and therefore as antitumoral agents. The
HDAC inhibition was determinate by a colorimetric assay in a HeLa cells nuclear extract that
have a group of HDAC class I. The antiproliferative activity was evaluated in vitro by the MTT
assay on HeLa cells. The results showed that all tested compounds diminish the HDAC
activity in order to 98 to 62%. The proliferation assay also showed a inhibition of the
proliferation from 0 to 98% in the range of concentrations of 20mM to 2mM, this can be due
to the raise of histone acetylation caused by the inhibition of the HDAC. In conclusion the
isoindolines-2-sustituited from a-amino acids tested have a inhibitory activity on the HDAC
that can explain the antitumoral activity observed and emerge as possible therapeutic agents
against cancer.

Schizophrenia disease is a neuropsyquiatric disease distinguished by hallucinations,
delirium, thinking alterations and symptoms of cognitive dysfunction and deficit (OMS). It was
described a multifactorial etiology composed by biochemical factors, genetic factors,
neurodevelopment alterations and psychosocial factors. The prevalence ranges from 1.6-4.2
per 1000 inhabitants and the incidence is an average of 21.8 per 100.000. Psychiatric
Hospital "Fray Bernardino Alvarez" SSA prevalence of schizophrenia is 50%. In the
department of pathological anatomy there are 52 autopsy cases with diagnosis of
schizophrenia, the objective of this work is to describe structural changes of the brain in the
autopsy material and to set markers in order to confirm the neurodevelopmental changes, for
this work we show 12 cases. The study group predominates slightly female and ages range
from 14 to 69 years, of these the first psychotic episode in the majority occur between 15 and
20 years. The tissues were included in paraffin wax and cut into slides of 5 to 7Вµ; they were
painted with Hematoxilin-Eosin, argentic stain of Bielchowsky and Fast-Blue and were
exanimated with photomicroscope (Leica). The observed changes were cerebral asymmetry,
cortical dysplasia, neuronal distortion, axons bifurcated, neuronophagya, branching of axons,
neuronophagia and widespread demyelination. and generalized demyelinization. These
histopathological changes predominate in frontotemporal lobes and cerebellum.
Schizophrenia disease is the result of many events that starts with a neurodevelopment
failure. It is important not only to have strategies of treatment but also prevent and give
genetical advice in order to fight this ill.

The main factor associated with development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is
obesity, a condition that is link with endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance (IR). The
aim of this study was to determine whether obesity produced by DMG disrupts vascular
operation. We used female Wistar rats with a weight of 225В±25 g, control group received
normal diet and the group of "obese" was high-calorie diet for 7 weeks (4 weeks before and
during the 3 weeks of pregnancy in each case). At the end of week 4 the animals met the
criteria of obesity and the DMG is found when glucose tolerance test was impaired. Using a
conventional preparation of isolated rings of rat thoracic aorta, assessed the vasoconstrictor
response to angiotensin II in rings with and without endothelium in the absence and presence
-7
-6
of losartan (10 M) and prazosin (10 M). The results showed that the DMG does not alter
the response to angiotensin II in normal conditions in rings with or without endothelium.
However DMG increased response to angiotensin II in the presence of prazosin or losartan.
These results suggest that DMG disrupts the operation and ability contractile responsiveness
of the vessels, by a mechanism that is unmasked only when was block of AT1or -1
receptor.

The main factor associated with development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is
obesity. The aim of this study was to determine whether obesity produced by DMG disrupts
vascular operation, evaluating the response to phenylephrine in isolated aortic rings of rats
with and without endothelium. The animals were divided into control and obese groups. In
turn, each group was subdivided in pregnant and non-pregnant. Obesity was achieved by
submitting the animals to high-calorie diet for 7 weeks, 3 of which corresponded to pregnant
condition. The group of obese pregnant met the criteria of obesity and DMG by a curve of
impaired glucose tolerance. We evaluated the evolution of animal weight and systolic blood
pressure by plethysmographic method as well as the vasoconstrictor response to KCl and
phenylephrine in rings with and without endothelium, in the absence and presence of losartan

(10 M) and prazosin (10 M). The DMG modified the reactivity induced by phenylephrine in
the presence of prazosin and losartan both rings with endothelium and without endothelium.
The results suggest that GDM alters the reactivity of vascular smooth muscle and that this
alteration is intended to be modulated by the vascular endothelium. It is also possible that the
DMG promotes the involvement of contractile mediators of endothelial source.

Cerebral ischemia is characterized by a progressive neurological deficit oxygen and glucose
that induced neuronal death. The excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis
are the main injury mechanism in this disease. Metallothioneins (MTs) are metalloproteins
with high content of cysteines. Neurochemical studies have been shown that MT II decrease
cerebral injury acting as a neuroprotective agent in encephalomyelitis, traumatic cord and
brain injury and other diseases with oxidative stress. In this study, we evaluated the
neuroprotective effect of metallothionein II in a model of middle cerebral artery occlusion
(MCAo) of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in rats. After two hours ischemia, the animals
were reperfused. Two doses of 10Ојg/Kg of MT II at half and eight hours were administrated
i.p. after occlusion. Neurological and behavioral deficit was evaluated at 2, 24, 48, 72 and
96 hours using Longa and Capdeville scoring scales. Animals from the MT II treated group
showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction of neurological deficit (54%) at 96 hours
after occlusion, in comparison with a control-group that showed neurological deficit using
Capdeville scoring scale. This neuroprotector effect will be correlated with histopatological
and inmunohistochemical MT II studies.

Morinda panamensis Seem has been widely used for medicinal purposes in Yucatan,
Mexico. Because of this species have high similitude in its morphological features with
Morinda citrifolia Linn (noni), leaves have been used as medicinal alternative treatment for
diabetes. In this context, there is not enough scientific evidence that support and validate its
medicinal use. For this, it was thought to perform a study to assess hypoglycemic and
antihyperglycemic effect exerted by hydroalcoholic leaves extract (HEMp) on animal models
applying Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests (OGTT) after acute and subchronic oral treatment.
Whole animals from the short-term and long-term assay were fasted overnight previous the
oral administration of test samples. Then, it was performed an OGTT using glucose (2 g/kg)
as substrate. The results showed that doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg of HEMp exerted
an antihyperglycemic effect in a dose-independent manner, supported by the decrease in
percentage value of glucose variation (%GV) compared with the vehicle-treated group. At the
end of each OGTT, a dose-independent hypoglycemic effect was noticed resulting from the
reduced plasma glucose concentration. This behavior was similar to the antihyperglycemic
drug acarbose. Moreover, daily dose of 400 mg/kg administered during a 16-day trial,
maintained over the time both effects observed during the acute experiment in every OGTT
performed weekly, this dose also caused a decrease in plasma lipid levels. Hence, these
results can establish that the HEMp exerts beneficial effects on plasma glucose homeostasis
in both acute and subchronic tests. This allows proposing M. panamensis as a suitable
candidate for further pharmacological tests using in vivo diabetic models with the aim of
establishing the scientific basis for the development of a phytopharmaceutical product based
on a standardized extract of this species.

We found that the chloroform extract (CLE) from Heimia salicifolia (HBK) Link, (Lithraceae),
decreased the systolic blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive rats. Aim: Isolate
the compounds with activity vasorelaxant from HS. The CLE was concentrated in vacuum
and separated by column and thin layer chromatographic; four alkaloids were separated. The
alkaloid 3 showed vasorelaxant effect and its chemical structure was determined by
1
spectroscopic means. The H NMR spectrum of alkaloid 3 showed similar signals as the
alkaloid lytrine. The relaxant effect of lytrine was studied on the mesenteric vascular bed

O
suspended in a water jacketed bath at 37 C, perfused at constant flow (8 mL/min) with Krebs
solution bubbled with 95% O2 and 5% CO2, pH 7.4. Dose-response curve were constructed
for: acetylcholine (20-80Вµg), histamine (20-80Вµg), and lytrine (20-80Вµg). Results: The
perfusion pressure (PP) was constant (80 п‚± 1.2 mmHg). The maximum effect of lytrine was
obtained with 80Вµg (30п‚±2.5mmHg), the similar manner as acetylcholine. The PP was
reduced in presence of: methylene (7п‚±2 mmHg), Wortmanine (1.6п‚±2 mmHg), L-NAME (8.5п‚±2
mmHg) and atropine (5п‚±2 mmHg). Difenhydramine did not change the PP (30п‚±2mmHg). The
vasorelaxante effect of lytrine is dependent of the liberation of NO, by binds whit muscarinic
receptor. This results help to explain its effects on the pressure blood. Supported by

Nowadays, in the treatment of inflammation are used drugs steroidal (cortico steroids) and non
steroidal drugs (NSAIDs). After the identification of the enzyme COX-2, have been described more
than 500 COX-2 inhibitors, depending on their chemical structure, NSAIDs inhibit both COX-1 and
COX-2 in different degrees. An alternative treatment for avoid side effects could be developed a
nanoemulsion applied directly onto the affected area. Nanoemulsions are kinetically stable
dispersions of oil and water, forming transparent and translucent systems, with a droplet size
around 100 nm. Several studies have been conducted in order to demonstrate the good potencial
for transdermal drug delivery formulated in a nanoemulsions. A delivery experiment was
conducted in order to see the antiinflamatories release from an anhydrous nanoemulsion with
Plurol oleiqueВ®, Labrasol В®, LabrafacВ® and propylenglycol, prepared by lab scale sonication.
These formulations presents a droplet size for diclofenac of 170.76 nm and for sesquiterpene
nanoemulsion of 61.91nm, with a polidispersity less than 0.3. The study was carried out using
membrane dialysis, with vertical Franz diffusion cells of 1.6 cm2. The receptor phase was
ethanol:water (7:3), under temperature of 32 В± 1ВєC. Samples were taken at fixed times during 118
hours. The concentrations of each sample were obtained by High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC). Different release kinetic models was evaluated in order to understand
the mechanism of drug release. The results obtained show that the model to describe the drug
release of the diclofenac and a natural sesquiterpene is a Korsmeyer-Peppas equation (a= 50.90,
R=0.9455 and a= 85.90, R=0.9921 respectively). These results predict a sustained release that
allows effective and safe release.

ACE inhibitors are used for controlling blood pressure, treating heart failure, preventing strokes,
and preventing kidney damage in people with hypertension or diabetes. Our group, has
developed a group of compounds with an antihypertensive effect named ―LQM family‖, they are
subdivided in morpholinic, thiomorpholinic and piperidinic compounds all of them are phenol
derivatives with blood vessel dilatator activity. All these compounds showed a significant blood
pressure reduction during a in vivo study, however the in silico experiments aim is to determinate
the molecule which has the most important antihypertensive effect and to develop more efficient
molecules through a screening of the reported structures. We used a Silicon Graphics Octane 2 TM
workstation, Sybyl Tripos as software and MacPro Quad-Core Intel Xeon workstation with the
Molecular Operating Enviroment (MOE) software, the 1UZF structure (ACE) obtained from RSCB
Protein Data Bank , the quality protein pocket was checked up with the whatif-check program and
the active site was confirmed by the site-finder command from MOE. The LQM’s family
structures were modeled with the molecule builder from MOE. The docking studies of LQM
compounds and ACE were made with the Dock simulation command from MOE, first to elucidate
the most possible binding sites with a rigid-flexible (R-F) docking, and the most favorable positions
were further submitted to a flexible-flexible (F-F) docking using the surrounding water molecules in
the pocket and the protonation for the pocket was performed with the protonate 3D molecule to
evaluate the most stable position and interactions between all the LQM compounds and ACE.

Justicia spicigera (muicle) is a native Mexican plant that has been reported since XVI Century
by Francisco Hernandez as medicinal plant to treat dysentery, gonorrhea, scabies, fever and
uterine bleeding. J. spicigera is still used for medicinal purposes in the treatment of several
illnesses. The aim of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of methanol, water
and sodium bicarbonate extracts from the whole plant employing two methods. The extracts
were assessed for antimicrobial activity by the Reasuring assay using Escherichia coli,
Salmonella thyphimurium, Shigela flexneri, Salmonella thypi, Proteus mirabilis,
Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. The results were expressed as Minimal
Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). A Penicillin- streptomycin mixture was used as positive
control. Both methanol extracts preparation showed the best antimicrobial activity and had
effect on all strain bacterial tested. Also, they had the best antibacterial effect on Salmonella
thypi (MIC= 0.625 mg/ml). Both extracts had a MIC of 1.25 mg/ml to S. aureus, S.
thyphimurium and S.flexneri. The effect of Justicia spicigera on S. flexneri cultures supports
one of its ethnomedical uses, this is to treat dysentery.

Nitric Oxide (NO) is synthesized from L-Arginine (L-Arg) by three oxide synthase (NOS)
isoforms: endothelial (eNOS), neuronal NOS (nNOS) and inducible (iNOS). As a free radical,
NO may cause oxidative stress, which is emerging as an important mechanism in the etiology
of seizure-induced neuronal death. Besides, NO is considered to play a fundamental role in
the genesis and the spreading of epileptiform hyperactivity, although is not clearly understood
if it is proconvulsant or anticonvulsant. Here we investigated the role of NO in seizures
mechanism through oxidative stress generation by studying the effect of different
anticonvulsant drugs such as amino oxiacetic acid (AAOA), Valproate (VALP), diazepam
(DIAZ) and Gabapentine (GPTINA) on oxidative stress in mice brains, estimated as free
carbonyls (Dalle and Rossi method), but also on NO levels (Indirect method based on Griess
reaction) on muse brain. Results show that, except by AAOA, in forebrain anticonvulsants
didn’t affect significantly or decreased free carbonyls, but were capable to reverse the
oxidative stress that convulsions induced by pentilenetetrazole (PTZ) produced. Similar
effects are exerted by anticonvulsants on NO, since all anticonvulsant diminished its level
(except by VALP) and counteracted the increase on NO generated by PTZ. Decrease on
oxidative stress produced by anticonvulsants was observed specially in hippocampus (HI),
and cortex (CX), followed by a decrease on NO. Anticonvulsants also reversed PTZ effects
on oxidative stress and NO (except by VALP) on HI and CX, but PTZ caused a decrease on
NO. This could be explained since PTZ caused an increase on eNOS but a decrease on
nNOS expression in HI. Since used drugs are related with GABA levels, results suggest that
seizures generated by alterations in GABAergic system produce oxidative stress caused by
NO, which can be reversed by anticonvulsants. Described effects depend on brain region
studied and NOS isoforms affected.

Streptozotocin (STZ) is used to induce experimental diabetes in rodents. However, nowadays
there is a controversy about if STZ induces diabetes similar to a type 1 or 2 diabetic. In this
research we proved that grade of the STZ-induced hyperglycemia in male CD1 mice depends
of the administered doses. A single injection of high doses (130 or 150 mg/Kg body weight)
or multiple injections (2,3,4 or 5) of a low dose (40 mg/Kg body weight) of STZ were
administered intraperitoneally in non-fasted mice, blood glucose and body weight were
measured during 21 days for high doses and 21 and 28 days for low dose. At third day, high
doses produced hyperglycemia and body weight lost in comparison to mice without STZ,
however unstable hyperglycemias and several deaths were observed during the treatment.
On the other hand, hyperglycemia and body weight lost were found with three or more
injection of STZ at 21 days, whereas 4 and 5 injections produced severe hyperglycemia but
deaths did not observe. Mild hyperglycemias (250-450 mg/dL) were experimented at 28 day
with three injections of STZ. Therefore we concluded that a high dose of STZ produces
severe hyperglycemia in mice similar to type 1 diabetic, and three administrations of STZ
induce mild hyperglycemia in mice similar to type 2 diabetic.

Dopaminergic functional recovery following controlled release of dopamine from
biodegradable polymer matrices implanted in the caudate nucleus was investigated in a
hemiparkinsonian animal model. Significant dopamine depletion in the caudate ipsilateral to
the side of implantation was observed in animals unilaterally infused with 6-hydroxydopamine
(6-OHDA) in the substantia nigra. These animals displayed apomorphine-induced
contralateral rotational behavior, when examined on the 14th day after lesion. Implantation of
a controlled release delivery system (amorphous or anatasa) containing dopamine in the
caudate on the 5 the 14th day significantly abolished the apomorphine-induced contralateral
rotational behavior in these animals. The recovery with anatasa reservories with dopamine
was visible from first day of treatment with TiO2-DA, until 180 days after implantation. The
present results indicate that dopamine released from the polymer matrices alleviates
behavioral bias in experimental hemiparkinsonism, implying use of such technologies as an
alternative method for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Support Contributed By: DGAPA

Millions of persons in the world are living with a diagnosis of cancer. Many researches in
different institutions and pharmaceuticals companies, are studying this disease and the
possible causes, screening tests, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment and they are learning
more about what causes cancer, and how it grows and progresses, so in addition they are
looking for new and better ways to prevent, detect, and treat it. In this work a s a part of Drug
Design Research, we present the advances of a discovery of new organometallic compounds
as alternative in the treatment of some kind cancer, as mama (MDA-MB 231), cervical
(HeLa), and prostate (PC-3) cancer. Those compounds were designed and synthetized as
phenol derivatives which had a reaction with Cu2+, in order to obtain cuprum complexes
named LQM 403, 405 and 406 respectively . They were characterized using infrared, Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance. The complexes were tested on MDA-MB 231, HeLa and PC-3 cancer
cells, using MTT and VC techniques, taxol (paclitaxel) as positive control and lymphocytes as
normal cells. The results will be discussed widely during the meeting. Acknowledgments: Our

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a immunosuppresive pro-drug frequently used to prevent
renal graft rejection, it is hydrolyzed by esterases in the gastrointestinal tract, blood and liver
to obtain the active drug mycophenolic acid (MPA), which is metabolized by UGT1A9.There
is high interpatent variation in MPA pharmacokinetics, AUC is used for therapeutic drug
monitring in adults, recommended levels are 30-60пЃ­g*h/L. The main adverse effects are
leukopenia and gastrointestinal complications. The aim of the study was to determine MPA
pharmacokinetics in children in the waiting list of renal allograft in order to predict MMF dose
requirements. Material and Methods: End stage renal disease children in the waiting list for
renal allograft were invited to participate in the study. A nine-point pharmacokinetic profile
2
was performed, all of them received a single dose (600mg/m SC) of MMF at time 0. MPA
was measured by HPLC. The AUC0-12h was estimated by the trapezoidal rule. We used the
program PhoenixTM Win Non Lin Version 6.0 (pharsight Corporation, St. Louis, MO, USA).
Results: 10 children were included, mean age was 13.6п‚±5 years. The median AUC0-12h was
20.3 пЃ­g*h/L (range 0-71), median Cmax 0.7 (range 0-2 пЃ­g/mL).Two children (20%) had no
detectable levels of MPA after a single MMF dose, other two patients had AUC >30пЃ­g*h/mL.
One patient had abdominal pain 1h after the MMF dose. Conclusions: 20% of the patients
had no MPA detectable levels after a single MMF dose, those patientse should receive a
higher MMF dosing since the begining of the transplant to avoid acute rejection. 20% of our
patients had AUC0-12h higher than the recommended value after a single MMF dose, those
patients should receive lower MMF dose since the begining of the transplant to avoid adverse
events. UGT1A9 gene polymorphisms remain to be studied in our patients, since they could
explain the differences in bioavailability.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome is characterized by various symptoms related to hemiatrophy of
the cerebrum and the hypertrophy of the ipsilateral, calvarium and paranasal. Surgical specimen
from patient with chronic pharmaco-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. The epileptic region was
localized to the right temporal lobe, and an extensive surgical removal of the temporal neocortex
plus amygdale (A) and hippocampus (HP) was performed. The surgical specimens were obtained
and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -75 В°C for biochemical studies. The
surgical specimens for histopathological evaluation were immersed and fixed in freshly prepared
to 4% paraformaldehido. In this study the levels of neurotransmitters were highest in the
hippocampus compared to the temporal neocortex (T1, T2, and T3). In amygdala, only GABA was
found whereas other aminoacids were absent. We found marked dislamination in all areas of the
cortex, neuronal loss, amylaceous bodies, and neuronal cytomegaly with cytoskeletal
disorganization containing dense fibrillar cytoplasmic aggregates, nodular heterotopias, dysplastic
and large neurons with high Nissl staining, intermixed with balloon cells with atypical nuclei, often
with binucleation, and abundant glassy eosinophilic cytoplasm, positive immunoreactives cells
with nestin, vimentin, and enhanced expression of the astrocytes were observed in all brain
regions studied. This patientВґs syndrome should be considered as a post-infectious event which
caused hemiparesis and later recurrent zeisures. Higher expression of nestin has been observed
in proliferative neuronal cells, the expression in astrocytes may mainly reflect an early response of
these cells to injury. Nestin may play a role in protecting the brain from injury. It has been
proposed that re-expression of embryonic genes by mature gill cells is associated with
morphological plasticity.

In a wide variety of cells, agonists such as neurotransmitters, hormones, or growth factors trigger
cellular responses through an increase of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. This increase can
result from both Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores and Ca2+ influx through plasma
membrane channels. For example in rat aorta noradrenaline induced a biphasic contractile
response in Ca2+-free medium through two different intracellular pools of Ca 2+, one of them
common to caffeine. The empty of this pool of Ca2+ are related with a mechanism of entry of the
cation from extracellular space in order to refilling such stores and to promote contraction.

Sexual dimorphism is an essential process for reproduction and preservation of species. Sexual
differentiation in mammals involves several anatomical, physiological and behavioral differences
include morphological primary and secondary sexual characteristics, differences in reproductive
and nonreproductive behaviors as well as structural and ultrastructural differences in central
nervous system (CNS). Sexual differentiation is a process regulated by multiple factors, among
which are the hormones secreted by the gonads during critical periods of development. The
administration of hormones in the perinatal period permanently impairs sexual behavior of
individuals. In rats, administration of Tamoxifen (Tx), a drug with anti-estrogenic actions, is
capable of desmasculinizar and feminize the sexual behavior of males (Morales, 2002). In the
present study evaluated 32 male rats were randomly divided randomly into 4 treatments: T1:
Control (20 Вµl of vehicle), T2: Coumestrol (100 Вµg of Coumestrol in 20 Вµl of vehicle), T3:
Tamoxifen (200 Вµg of Tamoxifen in 20 Вµl of vehicle), T4: 100 Вµg of Coumestrol, 200 Вµg of
Tamoxifen in 40 Вµl of vehicle. At the time of birth was applied for treatment. The rats were
sacrificed at 120 days at which time the following variables were measured: weight at birth, weight
each week and sexual behavior. After sacrifice the rats was extracted from hypothalamus and
obtaining testes (left and right). Statistical analysis was performed as an Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) followed by Tukey test to compare differences between treatments. Difference was
statistically significant when value (p <0.05). Statistical analysis was performed using the
statistical package Microstat. The results obtained in this work with respect to the body weight of
each group was not statistically significant differences (p <0.05). Regarding sexual behavior
patterns, weight and measurements of gonads, differences were statistically significant (p <0.05)
between each treatment group. For the weight of hypothalamus found no statistically significant
difference between each group. Therefore we can conclude that Coumestrol is unable to reverse
the effects of Tamoxifen, however applied for this same mark for the purposes of this antiestrogen.

It is well known that insulin induces hypoglycemia, an extensive derangement of body energy
state. The present experiment examined the effect of this substance on the vocalizations of the
preweaning guinea pigs when they are separated from their mothers. The 10-13 days old
pigmented guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) were kept with their mothers housed in a polycarbonate
maternity cage. The day before the experiments glycemia was determined in all the animals. The
experimental animals were injected with insulin (4 IU/kg ip) in saline solution (2ml/kg). Control
animals were injected with the vehicle. The animals were returned with their mother. One hour
later each pup was introduced in a polycarbonate cage (34x23x14 cm) during 6 minutes without its
mother in a sound isolated room. During this time the experiments were videotaped (Sony
HandycamTR305). The vocalizations were digitalized using Cool Edit 2000 software. The
statistical analysis was made using Friedman test to compare the duration of the vocalizations. At
the end of the recordings blood sugar was determined again and a sugar solution ABBOT 50%
(1ml/kg) was administered to restore normal glycemia levels. During the isolation the experimental
animals showed long vocalizations than never were presented by the control animals. The
duration of the longest vocalizations in the control animals was 217п‚±70.24ms and in experimental
animals 642п‚±447.47 (p=0.006). In conclusions the results suggest that hypoglycemia is also a
stressful condition that intensifies communication signals produced by the pups during the
isolation.

The repeated administration of convulsant dose of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) is known to produce
chemical kindling in rats. The present work was realized to determine the effects of an alimentary
compliment based on bee products (pollen, honey, royal jelly, bee wax and bee queen larvae) on
the seizure performance, locomotor activity, and lipid peroxidation levels on cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) after different postkindling periods comparing to the controls. Design: 32 Wistar male rats
were used. Animals were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8 rats each: 1) Saline group; 2) Bee
product group; 3) PTZ group 4) PTZ plus bee product treatment. Open Field Test (latency,
frequency, duration of seizure, number of squares crossed, trajectory of locomotion, rearing,
number of fecal boli were analized) and the lipid peroxidation levels (LPO) were determined.
Results: Oral administration of BP before PTZ injection caused a significantly increased the time
of seizure apparition, the duration of seizures was diminished, frequency of seizures decreased, C
and LPO decreased. In the Open Field test the control, BP and PTZ plus BP groups showed an
increase in the number of squares crossed, an increased in rearing counts, and a decreased in
fecal boli. In contrast PTZ group showed high peroxidation levels in CSF, immobilization on open
field test all time and increasing of death during seizure. In conclusion, the results of the present
study suggest the possible neuroprotective action of bee products against PTZ-induced kindling.

Modulation of metabotropic glutamate receptors represents an interesting new approach for the
treatment of epilepsy. Numerous studies suggest that functional blockade of group 1 (mGlu1 or
mGlu5) receptors produce anticonvulsant action in different rodent models. The aim of the present
study was to characterize the effects of selective mGluR5 antagonist MTEP ([(2-methyl-1,3thiazol-4-yl) ethynyl] pyridine) on epileptic afterdischarges (ADs) elicited in immature rats.
Stimulation electrode was implanted into dorsal right hippocampus and recording electrode into
the left hippocampus, in 12- 18- and 25-day old Wistar rats. Moreover, one cortical electrode was
placed epidurally over frontal area. Stimulation (biphasic electrical pulses with duration of 1 ms
and frequency 50 Hz, during 2 s) was applied six-times repeatedly in 10-min intervals. The
threshold intensity was determined by increasingly higher values (from 0.3 to 4.0 mA) and just
suprathreshold intensity was used in the experiment. Electroencephalograpic (EEG) activity was
recorded and duration of ADs as well as number of WDS accompanying ADs was evaluated. The
first control AD was longer in 12-day-old than in older animals, number of WDS was lower in 12than in 18-day-old rats. MTEP (20 and 40 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally 5 min after the
first AD was able to significantly shorten hippocampal and cortical ADs. This effect was best
expressed in 12-day-old rats; both doses led to significant shortening not only of the second but
also subsequent ADs. The number of WDS was decreased mainly by the 40-mg/kg dose in 12day-old rats. Eighteen- and 25- day-old rats exhibited a decrease of AD duration after the higher
dose of MTEP. The number of WDS was decreased only by the 20-mg/kg dose in 18-day-old rats
and not change was observed in 25- day-old rats. Effects of MTEP on hippocampal epileptic
seizures are age-dependent with a maximum at postnatal day 12. This study was supported by a
grant No.305/06/1188 of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, by research projects LC-554
and AV0Z50110905 and by CONACYT.

EFFECT OF CHRONIC SUGAR INTAKE ON MALNOURISHMENT-INDUCED

Malnourishment was induced by food restriction (FR: 9g/day/rat) of pregnant Wistar rats until
weaning of the litter. After weaning, groups of 3 male rats were kept on FR (MAL). All animals
were housed in satandard conditions. Control rats received rat chow and water ad libitum (CTL).
Chronic sugar intake in the drinking water (30%) was initiated after parturition (SUG) in either CTL
and MAL. A control group of MAL received regular tap water. Food and water intake were
monitored daily.
Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), glycemia (GLY), cholesterolemia (CHO), and triglyceridemia
(TRG) were measured at 6, 7, 8 and 9 months of age in non-anaesthetized rats using a tail-cuff
procedure and Accutrend reactive strips, respectively. Statistical and graphical analysis were done
using Excell. A P value <0.05 was used to assess significance. MAL-induced hyperactivity and
decrease in body weight are significantly attenuated by SUG when compared with CTL. SUG
induces hypophagia in CTL, and polydipsia significantly larger in MAL than in CTL. SUG induces
larger and significant increases of TRG in CTL than in MAL. There were no changes in CHO in
any SUG treated groups; and only a discrete but significant increases of GLY in SUG groups. GLY
to TRG conversion is significantly smaller in MAL. SUG induced significantly larger intolerance to
an acute glucose load (2 g/kg/ip) in MAL when compared with CTL. Very minor GLY peaks were
observed in MAL.
SUG attenuates MAL-induced blunting of baroreflex response (BRE), estimated from the pulse
pressure versus pulse period plots, but has no effect on BRE.

STZ has been widely used to induce, in rat and mouse, experimental diabetes mellitus (DM) type
1 o type 2 (newborn animals). There is an overlap between type 1 y 2 in several different
experimental animal models, and someone of the classical models for each type cannot be
sustained (Chapparro et al, 2006). Decision respect which model to utilize is determined by local
resources. Most common diabetogenic STZ doses is 65 mg/kg, by IV o IP way, but several
animals die (Frode and Medeiros, 2008). However, validity of such statements has been
questioned (Andrade, 2005). Continuing the investigation line on plants with anti-DM use, with our
own laboratory resources and environmental conditions, and by the advantages of the method, we
decided to validate in fasting (12 h) Wistar rats the hyperglycemia induced by 50 mg/kg/im of STZ.
After that, no glucose solution (5%) was administered; but free access to food and water was
allowed; no matter what type of diabetes is induced we only used the hyperglycemia as a
functional signal of damage. Results: The 3 steps reported for glycemia by STZ was reproduced:
initial 1-2 days hyperglycemia; intermediate hypoglycemia by 2-3 days and sustained
hyperglycemia since 5-6 day; at 7Вє day the anti-hyperglycemic effect of Ibervillea Lindheimeri
extracts was determined. Then, rats were maintained at standard lab/conditions with free access
to food and water. Periodically body weight and glycemia were measured (Accuchek sensor
comfort reactive tires). Body weight increase of STZ treated rats is lower than control rats.
Hyperglycemia was sustained by 6 months. Acute/chronic mortality by STZ was 2/30 and 3/28
rats, respectively. This method is useful to induce a permanent hyperglycemic state (core in
human DM, responsible of complications on microcirculation: retino-nephro-pathy). Besides, is
useful to determine anti-hyperglycemic effect of drugs and extract of plants.

The creation of Profound Drainage System at México City during 80-90’s decades of the 20th
Century triggered the foundation of two new settlements in areas know since the Colonial
times suffer of flooding. Agricultural practice were followed by houses construction causing
the gradual loose of vegetal and animal endemic species, as well as Plants known by oral
tradition for they curative use since pre- Colombian times. Objective: To identify the type of
wild botanical species current present in the few remnant pieces of land where there are not
houses (Barrio 18), which are actually used in Mexican herbolary and identifies them by
common and scientific name. Method: several individuals of wild plants were collected at
different times of the year. Photography’s in the external environmental were taken to support
identification. They were presented to healers in Sonora and Xochimilco markets, at MГ©xico,
City, to inquire on their common names and therapeutical uses. Taxonomy and scientific
name of the plants were obtained at Herbarium of Faculty of Sciences at The Universidad
Nacional AutГіnoma de MГ©xico. Further research in the scientific literature was done to
confirm their medical use. Results: Seven plants currently used in traditional medicine were
detected and one with poisoning dangerous effect. These observations indicate the need to
revaluate and enhance the interest of the Mexican investigators in the scientific and
systematic study of plants, besides the defense of nature, in ecologic, Phenologic,
Phytogeography, chemical and taxonomic aspects, and the scientific determination of the
curative properties of the Mexican flora.
