Therapeutic properties of VO(dmpp)2 as assessed by in vitro and in vivo studies...
Domingues, N.; Pelletier, J.; Ostenson, C.-G.; Castro, M.M.C.A.The bis(1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridinonato)oxidovanadium(IV), VO(dmpp)2, has shown anti-diabetic effects by in vitro studies in Wistar (W) rat adipocytes and in vivo in obese Zucker rats. The aim of this work is to confirm the therapeutic properties of VO(dmpp)2 in non-obese type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. An in vivo study was carried out, treating W and GK rats during 21 days with a daily dose of V...

A novel VIVO–pyrimidinone complex: synthesis, solution speciation and human ser...
Gonçalves, Gisela; Tomaz, Isabel; Correia, Isabel; Vieiros, Luís F.; Castro, M. M. C. A.; Avecilla, Fernando; Palacio, Lorena; Maestro, MiguelThe pyrimidinones mhcpe, 2-methyl-3H-5-hydroxy-6-carboxy-4-pyrimidinone ethyl ester (mhcpe, 1), 2,3- dimethyl-5-benzyloxy-6-carboxy-4-pyrimidinone ethyl ester (dbcpe, 2) and N-methyl-2,3-dimethyl-5- hydroxy-6-carboxyamido-4-pyrimidinone (N-MeHOPY, 3), are synthesized and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The acid–base properties of 1 are studied by potentiometric and spectrophotom...
Unveiling the Interaction of Vanadium Compounds with Human Serum Albumin by Usi...
Dias, David M.; Rodrigues, João P. G. L. M.; Domingues, Neuza S.; Bonvin, Alexandre M. J. J.; Castro, M. M. C. A.The binding of the VV oxidation products of two vanadium( IV) compounds, [VO(dmpp)2] and [VO(maltolato)2], which have shown promising anti-diabetic properties, to human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous aerobic solution has been studied by 1H saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy and computational docking studies. Group epitope mapping and docking simulations indicate a preference of HSA binding to...
Sources of hepatic triglyceride accumulation during high-fat feeding in the hea...
Delgado, T. C.; Pinheiro, D.; Caldeira, M.; Castro, M. M. C. A.; Geraldes, C. F. G. C.; López-Larrubia, P.; Cerdán, S.; Jones, J. G.Hepatic triglyceride (HTG) accumulation from peripheral dietary sources and from endogenous de novo lipogenesis (DNL) was quantified in adult Sprague-Dawley rats by combining in vivo localized 1H MRS measurement of total hepatic lipid with a novel ex vivo 2H NMR analysis of HTG 2H enrichment from 2H-enriched body water. The methodology for DNL determination needs further validation against standard methodologie...
Sources of hepatic glucose production by 2H2O ingestion and Bayesian analysis o...
Delgado, T. C.; Barosa, C.; Castro, M. M. C. A.; Geraldes, C. F. G. C.; Bastos, M.; Baptista, C.; Fagulha, A.; Barros, L.; Mota, A.; Carvalheiro, M.The contribution of gluconeogenesis to hepatic glucose production (GP) was quantified after 2H2O ingestion by Bayesian analysis of the position 2 and 5 2H-NMR signals (H2 and H5) of monoacetone glucose (MAG) derived from urinary acetaminophen glucuronide. Six controls and 10 kidney transplant (KTx) patients with cyclosporine A (CsA) immunosuppressant therapy were studied. Seven KTx patients were lean and euglyc...
Effects of Li+ transport and intracellular binding on Li+/Mg2+ competition in b...
Fonseca, C. P.; Montezinho, L. P.; Nabais, C.; Tomé, A. R.; Freitas, H.; Geraldes, C. F. G. C.; Castro, M. M. C. A.Li+ transport, intracellular immobilisation and Li+/Mg2+ competition were studied in Li+-loaded bovine chromaffin cells. Li+ influx rate constants, ki, obtained by atomic absorption (AA) spectrophotometry, in control (without and with ouabain) and depolarising (without and with nitrendipine) conditions, showed that L-type voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels have an important role in Li+ uptake under depolarising co...
Intracellular lithium and cyclic AMP levels are mutually regulated in neuronal ...
Montezinho, L. P.; Duarte, C. B.; Fonseca, C. P.; Glinka, Y.; Layden, B.; Freitas, D. Mota de; Geraldes, C. F. G. C.; Castro, M. M. C. A.In this work, we studied the effect of intracellular 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) on Li+ transport in SH-SY5Y cells. The cells were stimulated with forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator, or with the cAMP analogue, dibutyryl-cAMP. It was observed that under forskolin stimulation both the Li+ influx rate constant and the Li+ accumulation in these cells were increased. Dibutyryl-cAMP also increa...
Structural study of the interaction of vanadate with the ligand 1,2-dimethyl-3-...
Castro, M. M. C. A.; Geraldes, C. F. G. C.; Gameiro, P.; Pereira, E.; Castro, B.; Rangel, M.The interaction of vanadate with the ligand 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone (Hdmpp) was studied in aqueous solution using a combination of multinuclear NMR and EPR spectroscopies, as well as potentiometry and cyclic voltammetry. The different species in solution were identified and characterized, and their pKa values and stability constants determined. The vanadium complexes formed in solution are strongly ...
