Horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of rifampicin: Reaction rate enhancement by co-oxidation with anti-inflammatory drugs

The tuberculostatic drug rifampicin has been described as a scavenger of reactive species. Additionally, the recent demonstration that oral therapy with a complex of rifampicin and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was more effective than rifampicin alone, in an animal model of experimental leprosy, suggested the importance of redox reactions involving rifampicin and their relevance to the mechanism of action. Hence, we studied the oxidation of rifampicin catalyzed by HRP, since this enzyme may represent the prototype of peroxidation-mediated reactions. We found that the antibiotic is efficiently oxidized and that rifampicin-quinone is the product, in a reaction dependent on both HRP and hydrogen peroxide. The steady-state kinetic constants Km app (101±23 mmol/l), Vmax app (0.78±0.09 μmol/l·s-1) and kcat (5.1±0.6 s-1) were measured (n=4). The reaction rate was increased by the addition of co-substrates such as tetramethylbenzidine, salicylic acid, 5-aminosalicylic acid and paracetamol. This effect was explained by invoking an electron-transfer mechanism by which these drugs acted as mediators of rifampicin oxidation. We suggested that this drug interaction might be important at the inflammatory site. © 2005 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.

Transformaciones en el hábitat rural. Los planos topográficos de Chascomús, 1826 - 1854

Este artículo pretende exponer la influencia que las nuevas estrategias de organización territorial para la campaña bonaerense, materializadas durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX, pudieron ejercer sobre la estructura urbana y social de los pueblos de la región. Partimos del supuesto, desarrollado en otros trabajos, de que dichas estrategias definieron, en parte, la transformación espacial del territorio a partir de tres premisas: la consolidación de los poblados existentes, la fundación de nuevos poblados y el desarrollo de la colonización ejidal (1). Para poder examinar en profundidad dichas estrategias tomamos como base el análisis del espacio urbano de Chascomús y sus alrededores considerando dos momentos de su conformación: 1826 y 1855. Estas fechas se corresponden con la existencia de documentos que representan espacialmente el lugar: los planos de Saubidet de 1826 y el plano de Arrufó de 1855. A partir de estos documentos intentaremos determinar cuáles son las estrategias oficiales en relación a la organización espacial, cómo se materializa el poblado, qué tipo de entramado social presenta y cuáles son las diferencias que encontramos entre una época y otra, teniendo en consideración que la primera corresponde al inicio de la expansión de la frontera bonaerense y la segunda al auge de la etapa lanera que tiene en Chascomús uno de sus centros.

Draft of an exhibition program, [1825]

Handwritten draft of an exhibition program with the names of the student orators from the Harvard Classes of 1825 and 1826.

Some account of a paper call'd the Telltale, begun in colledge Sept 1721

The small leather-bound volume holds two sections, a manuscript student periodical, and written tête-bêche, an exchange on smallpox inoculation followed by notes on the rules and activities of a Harvard College student club. The volume begins with thirteen numbered manuscript issues, written in one hand, of the Tell-Tale running from September 9, 1721 to November 1, 1721. Prefaced, "This paper was entitl'd the Telltale or Criticisms on the Conversation & Beheavour of Scholars to promote right reasoning & good manner," the work is modeled after literary periodicals of the time, including the "Spectator," and is considered the oldest student publication at Harvard. The periodical appears to have circulated in manuscript form. The content varies in format and includes letters between Telltale and correspondents, short essays, and advertisements. Topics discussed include conversation, detraction, and flattery. While not specifically about Harvard it does provide some information about the College including evidence of various student activities and organizations at Harvard in the 1720s. The entry explaining the rules of the Telltale Club is heavily faded and nearly illegible. The Telltale records multiple dreams, which are populated by various characters, such as “beautiful” Kate, two “learned Physicians” debating inoculation, “four Fellows” “pushing and shoving one another,” and a “person of a very Dark & swarthy complexion in a Slovenly Dress with 7 patches & 5 sparks on his Face.”

Diary of Elias Mann, 1796-1800

Elias Mann kept this diary during his undergraduate years at Harvard College. The diary begins August 17, 1796 and ends in August of 1800 and also includes several undated sheets filled with excerpts of poems. The daily entries describe many aspects of Mann's life, including not only his experiences at Harvard but also his involvement in the larger community. Entries related to life at Harvard describe club meetings (coffee club, Hasty Pudding Club and Phi Beta Kappa); trips to the theater; dinners at taverns; games and recreation, including a card game called "Loo," cribbage, backgammon, bowling, playing ball, fishing, skating and going for sleigh rides; gathering, and sometimes taking from others' gardens, food (most often plums, peaches, nuts and apples); what he ate (including one breakfast of three raw eggs and two glasses of wine); what he read (including Tristram Shandy and one of "Mrs. Ratcliffe's novels"); his friends, often mentioned by name; and academic work and formalities. In one entry he mentions the theft of several possessions from his room, and there are several entries about trips to Fresh Pond.
