    Notes: Abstract Intracerebral infection of susceptible SJL/J (H-2s) mice with the Daniel’s strain of Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus produces chronic, progressive, inflammatory central nervous system demyelination, with minimal spontaneous remyelination. To assess the role of host genetic factors in spontaneous myelin repair following chronic infection with the Daniel’s strain of Theiler’s virus, we examined demyelination and spontaneous remyelination in strain A mice after infection with Theiler’s virus. We found that A.BY/SnJ (H-2b) mice were resistant to Theiler’s virus-induced demyelination, whereas A/J (H-2a), A/WySnJ (H-2a), and A.SW/SnJ (H-2s) mice all developed chronic demyelination with substantial spontaneous remyelination 90 days after infection. In the spinal cords of both A/J and A/WySnJ mice, one quarter of the total lesion area showed spontaneous remyelination, whereas in A.SW/SnJ mice, the extent of remyelination increased to two thirds of the total lesion area. The spontaneous remyelination seen in strain A mice was consistent with myelin repair by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, and occurred despite the presence of persistent virus antigen. These results indicate that host-pathogen interactions play an important role in myelin regeneration after virus-induced demyelination, and suggest that host genetic factors influence spontaneous remyelination.

    Notes: An overall enantioselective substitution of the R-group of an α-hydroxy- or α-amino acid 1 [R—CH(XH)COOH] by another R-group is possible through heterocycles 2 obtained from 1 with pivaladehyde (1 → 7). The rac- and the (S)-(+)-heterocycles 8 (title compounds of type 5) are prepared from glycine and O-benzyl-(S)-serine, respectively. Their enolates (cf. 9, type 6) are alkylated with iodomethane, iodobutane, 2-iodopropane, benzyl bromide, and acetone to give the trans-disubstituted imidazolidinones 10 with ≥ 95% diastereoselectivity. The configuration of the products is established by chemical correlation with alanine, phenylalanine, and valine.

    Notes: Chiral enolates of imidazolidinones and oxazolidinones from the title amino acids react with carbonyl compounds to afford the corresponding alcohols in excellent yields (see Scheme 5). Furthermore, the addition to aldehydes proceeds with high diastereoselectivity to give, after acid hydrolysis, threo-α-amino-β-hydroxy acids of high enantiomeric purity. Some of the threo-α-amino-β-hydroxy acids prepared in this work are the proteinogenic (S)-threonine (26), the naturally occurring (S)-3-phenylserine (28), and (S)-3-hydroxyleucine (27) as well as the unnatural (S)-4,4,4-trifluorothreonine (30) and (S)-3-(4-pyridyl)serine (31). The N-methylamide of (2S,3R,4R,6E)-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(methylamino)-6-octenoic acid (32), the unique amino acid in the immunosuppressive cyclosporine, was prepared by the new method. This report presents also information suggesting that both steric and stereoelectronic effects are responsible for the good stereoselectivities observed.

    Notes: Remyelination in the central nervous system, originally thought to occur rarely, if ever, is now an established phenomena in multiple sclerosis patients. However, the extent of myelin repair is incomplete and limited. Experimental models of central nervous system demyelination provide an opportunity to study the cellular and molecular events involved in remyelination. These models may provide some clue to why remyelination in multiple sclerosis is incomplete as well as suggest potential methods to stimulate central nervous system repair. In this review we examine the morphological aspects of central nervous system remyelination and discuss both spontaneous and induced remyelination in multiple sclerosis and experimental models of central nervous system demyelination. We give special emphasis to the Theiler's virus model of central nervous system demyelination and its usefulness to identify therapeutic agents to promote remyelination. The role of immunoglobulins in promoting remyelination in both the Theiler's model system and in multiple sclerosis is discussed. Finally, we examine the potential physiological role of demyelination and remyelination and its relationship with clinical manifestations of central nervous system disease. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
