Piperidinium derivatives including spectaline and cassine derivatives, pharmaceutic compositions containing the same and preparation process

Disclosed are compounds of formulae (II) and (III), wherein R1 is other than hydrogen and the remaining substituents are as defined in the specification, processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds are capable of inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, and are useful in the treatment of pathologies associated with cholinergic transmission, such as memory related disorders, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, Myasthenia Gravis and intoxication induced by chemical agents.

Processes for the preparation of piperidinic derivatives and pharmaceutic compositions containing the same

Production processes for preparing pharmaceutical compositions containing new molecules capable of inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, thus being useful in the treatment of pathologies associated to cholinergic transmission, such as memory related disorders, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, Miastenia Gravis or in the treatment of intoxications induced by chemical agents of central action.

Staphylococcus sp na produção primária de leite: aspectos de saúde pública

Staphylococcus is one of the more important causes of the called Foodborne Disease(FD), being that from the 40 species described from genus, the more important is Staphylococcus aureus. During years believed that the S. aureus was the only specie from genus able to produce enterotoxins, responsable for the clinical frame in humans, but latest studies report the isolation of other species both positive coagulase (PC) as negative with enterotoxigenic potential. The symptoms of this intoxication appear after a short period of incubation (2-6 hours) and usually characterized by nausea, vomits, abdominal ache, diarrhea, and rarely is fatal. For the toxin to be formed in food is necessary that bacteria population to be at least 105 UFC/g, being that such toxins characterized by presenting great resistance front of gastrointestinal proteases and of homemade termical treatment. Among the main foods that might carry the microorganism, the milk and its derivatives have highlights. The contamination of the product might happen as from the milk from cows with clinical and/or subclinical mastitis, as the Staphylococcus genus is one of the main agents etiologic from this disease, equipments utensils badly sanitized equipments and utensils and from the manipulators. The control of these factors configures as fundamental condition for the achievement of a safe, quality product, which doesn’t offer risk to the consumers

Espectalina, cassina e análogos semissintéticos como potenciais candidatos a fármacos para o tratamento da doença de Alzheimer

This paper describes the main steps in the study of Senna spectabilis, as part of our bioprospection studies, with the isolation of spectaline, cassine and other piperidine alkaloids, as well as the preparation of semi-synthetic analogues, and the studies of their pharmacological and toxicological properties, which led to the establishment of two candidate drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer disease.

Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that results in cognitive and behavioral impairment. Conventional treatment strategies, such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drugs, often fail due to their poor solubility, lower bioavailability, and ineffective ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Nanotechnological treatment methods, which involve the design, characterization, production, and application of nanoscale drug delivery systems, have been employed to optimize therapeutics. These nanotechnologies include polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, microemulsion, nanoemulsion, and liquid crystals. Each of these are promising tools for the delivery of therapeutic devices to the brain via various routes of administration, particularly the intranasal route. The objective of this study is to present a systematic review of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
