Development and adaptation of tensile strength by bones in the extremities in response to physical training exemplified by the tibia (Publications)
Results from an in vivo assessment of the bending stiffness of human tibiae with a new method demonstrate that bone mineral measurements are not a suitable predictor to evaluate changes of mechanical
Diaryl sulfide-based inhibitors of trypanothione reductase: inhibition potency, revised binding mode and antiprotozoal activities (Publications)
Trypanothione reductase (TR) is an essential enzyme of trypanosomatids and therefore a promising target for the development of new drugs against African sleeping sickness and Chagas' disease. Diaryl s
Methods development for epidemiologic investigations of the health effects of prolonged ozone exposure. Part I: Variability of pulmonary function... (Publications)
The acute and subacute effects of ambient concentrations of ozone on lung function have been studied extensively in a variety of settings. Such studies generally have focused on measures of function t
Methods development for epidemiologic investigations of the health effects of prolonged ozone exposure. Part II. An approach to retrospective... (Publications)
An extensive body of data supports a relation between acute exposures to ambient ozone and the occurrence of various acute respiratory symptoms and changes in measures of lung function. In contrast, r
Synthesis and antimalarial property of orally active phenoxazinium salts (Publications)
Phenoxazinium salts were found to display good antimalarial efficacy in vivo against Plasmodium berghei. Several compounds provided 100% parasitemia clearance at a dose of 20-30 mg kg-1x4 days (ip) an
Synthesis, antiprotozoal and cytotoxic activities of new N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-1,2-naphthoquinone-4-amino derivatives (Publications)
Three derivatives of N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-1,2-naphthoquinone-4-amino (1), a compound which exhibits significant activity against Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium falciparum but with cytotoxic
Antimalarial activity of novel pyrrolizidinyl derivatives of 4-aminoquinoline (Publications)
Two pyrrolizidinylalkyl derivatives of 4-amino-7-chloroquinoline (MG2 and MG3) were prepared and tested in vitro against CQ-sensitive and CQ-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum and in vivo in a
