AMIDOALKYLPIPERAZINYL DERIVATIVES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES
-
Page/Page column 29; 30, (2013/03/26)
The invention relates to novel amidoalkylpiperazinyl derivatives of tricyclic heterocyclic systems of general formula (I), wherein Z represents -NH- and X represents -S-, or Z represents -S- and X represents >C=C1 represents H or -CH3, R6 and R7 both represent H, n is an integer from 0 to 4 inclusive, G represents a cyclic amide or imide moiety, and optical isomers, geometric isomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds may be useful for the treatment and/or prevention of the central nervous system disorders.
PROCESS FOR STRAIGHTENING KERATIN FIBRES WITH A HEATING MEANS AND DENATURING AGENTS
-
, (2010/03/02)
The invention relates to a process for straightening keratin fibres, comprising: (i) a step in which a straightening composition containing at least two denaturing agents is applied to the keratin fibres, (ii) a step in which the temperature of the keratin fibres is raised, using a heating means, to a temperature of between 110 and 250° C.

Previous structure-activity and NMR studies on nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) demonstrated that Aib substitution of Ala7 and/or Ala11 increases the peptide potency through an alpha helix structure induction mechanism. On these bases we synthesised and evaluated pharmacologically in the mouse vas deferens assay a series of N/OFQ-NH2 analogues substituted in position 7 and 11 with Cα,α-disubstituted cyclic, linear and branched amino acids. None of the 20 novel N/OFQ analogues produced better results than [Aib7]N/OFQ-NH2. Thus, this substitution was combined with other chemical modifications known to modulate peptide potency and/or efficacy generating compound 21 [Nphe1Aib7Arg14Lys15]N/OFQ-NH2 (coded as UFP-111), compound 22 [(pF)Phe4Aib7Arg14Lys15]N/OFQ-NH2 (UFP-112) and compound 23 [Phe1Ψ(CH2-NH)Gly2(pF)Phe4Aib7Arg14Lys15]N/OFQ-NH2 (UFP-113). These novel peptides behaved as highly potent NOP receptor ligands showing full (UFP-112) and partial (UFP-113) agonist and pure antagonist (UFP-111) activities in a series of in vitro functional assays performed on pharmacological preparations expressing native as well as recombinant NOP receptors.
