A low-voltage activated, transient calcium current is responsible for the time-dependent depolarizing inward rectification of rat neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]
Intracellular recordings were obtained from rat neocortical neurons in vitro. The current-voltage-relationship of the neuronal membrane was investigated using current- and single-electrode-voltage-clamp techniques.

Conformation of 1,4‐dihydropyridine — planar or boat‐like? [PDF]
The geometry of the 1,4‐dihydropyridine molecule was completely optimized employing three different ab initio basis sets (6–31 G*, 4–31 G, STO—3G). The most reliable 6–31G* basis set provides a very flat boat conformation which may easily undergo defolding to a planar ring arrangement.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: Efficacy and safety in chronic kidney disease
Abstract The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) has a multifaceted role in normal physiologic functions. However, research has uncovered the deleterious consequences of overactivation of the MR. It has been implicated in chronic kidney disease (CKD) via its strong association with glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, proteinuria, and decline in ...

Ca2+ transients are not required as signals for long-term neurite outgrowth from cultured sympathetic neurons [PDF]
A method for clamping cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in cultures of rat sympathetic neurons at or below resting levels for several days was devised to determine whether Ca2+ signals are required for neurite outgrowth from neurons that depend on Nerve ...

Organophotoredox/Cobalt‐Catalyzed Retro‐Hydroformylation of Aldehydes
A new photoredox/cobalt retro‐hydroformylation is developed. This one‐pot two‐step process involves the in situ formation of the corresponding 1,4‐dihydropyridine as key intermediate. Under mild reaction conditions, alkenes are efficiently produced from a wide range of aliphatic α‐monosubstituted aldehydes, with high functional‐group tolerance.

Preparation of indole alkaloids via 1,4-dihydropyridine stage or cyano-masked iminium intermediates [PDF]
Methods to synthesise substituted pyridine derivatives utilising 1,4-dihydropyridines were studied. Addition of nucleophiles to N-alkyl pyridinium salts and application of the products to alkaloid synthesis were investigated.

Repurposing drugs to fast-track therapeutic agents for the treatment of cryptococcosis [PDF]
Many infectious diseases disproportionately affect people in the developing world. Cryptococcal meningitis is one of the most common mycoses in HIV-AIDS patients, with the highest burden of disease in sub-Saharan Africa.

ABSTRACT Hexahydroquinoline (HHQ) is a widely recognized scaffold that has garnered considerable attention owing to its diverse pharmacological properties. The structure of HHQ includes a 1,4‐dihydropyridine (DHP) ring, which serves as the pharmacophore for the predominant class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers.

In organic synthesis, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have demonstrated their ability to be used as reaction media for the development of reactions in line with green chemistry principles. This review presents an overview of microwave‐assisted organic synthesis in DES, highlighting the diversity of uses for these solvents, their role in mechanisms, the ...
