    Notes: Abstract. Objective and Design: We examined the effect of Y-24180, a potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, on IgE-mediated cutaneous reactions in mice.¶Materials: Female BALB/c mice were used.¶Treatment: Drugs were orally administered 1 h before a dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) challenge or 1 h before and 12 h after the challenge.¶Methods: Biphasic increase in ear thickness, with peak responses at 1 h (immediate phase reaction, IPR) and 24 h (late phase reaction, LPR) after the DNFB challenge, were induced in mice which had been passively sensitized with monoclonal anti-dinitrophenyl IgE antibody 24 h before the DNFB challenge. Ear thickness was measured with a dial thickness gauge.¶Results: Y-24180, WEB2086, ketotifen, and suplatast suppressed the IPR. Y-24180 also suppressed the LPR when administered once at 10 mg/kg or twice at 1 to 10 mg/kg. WEB2086 suppressed the LPR only when administered twice. However, ketotifen and suplatast did not suppress the LPR even when administered twice. Single administration of prednisolone significantly suppressed both the IPR and LPR.¶Conclusions: These results indicate that PAF may be involved in the induction of biphasic cutaneous reactions mediated by IgE, and Y-24180 is more effective compared with WEB2086 in this model. It is possible that the difference in the effectiveness between Y-24180 and WEB2086 depends on the persistence of those activities.

    Notes: Abstract: Objective and Design: Anti-arthritic effect of FTY720, a novel immunosuppressant, was compared with those of immunosuppressants cyclosporin A and tacrolimus in adjuvant- induced arthritis in rats.¶Material: Male LEW rats.¶Treatment: FTY720 (0.03-0.3 mg/kg), cyclosporin A (1-10 mg/kg) or tacrolimus (0.3-3 mg/kg) were orally administered to rats for 21 days beginning on the day (day 0) of adjuvant inoculation. In addition, the anti-arthritic effect of FTY720 (0.3 mg/kg) and cyclosporin A (10 mg/kg) were evaluated by administration to animals for 5 consecutive days (days 2-6, 6-10, and 10-14).¶Methods: Adjuvant-induced arthritis was produced by intradermal injection of 0.5 mg heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Hindpaw edema was measured plethysmographically. The day of arthritis onset was determined macroscopically. Bone degradation was determined by radiography. Peripheral blood leukocytes were classified microscopically.¶Results: All test compounds inhibited the incidence of arthritis, hindpaw edema and bone destruction. In addition, FTY720 but not cyclosporin A or tacrolimus markedly decreased the number of peripheral blood lymphocytes. FTY720 treatment on days 6 to 10 inhibited the bone destruction and hindpaw edema.¶Conclusion: These results suggest that the anti-arthritic ef-fect of FTY720 in this adjuvant-induced arthritic model was more potent than those of cyclosporin A and tacrolimus. FTY720 administered on days 6 to 10 showed the inhibitory effect on the bone destruction and hindpaw edema. FTY720 may be effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.¶

    Notes: Summary 4,4′-(3,7,12,16-Tetramethyl-1,3,5,7,9,11,13, 15,17-octadecanonaen-1,18-diyl) bis (1-ethylpyridinium) dibromide (Y-18598), a novel carotenoid analog with 1-ethylpyridine rings as terminal groups, was found to be effective against P388 leukemia which was refractory to amphotericin B and retinoic acid used as representatives of polyene-containing drugs. The life span of leukemic mice was increased by 56% over the control following administration of 2.5 mg/kg on days 1–5. Among these polyene-containing compounds, Y-18598 was the most highly cytotoxic to P388 leukemia cells in vitro.

    Notes: Abstract This investigation was undertaken to determine whether a severe limitation of blood supply by external iliac artery ligation can change the number and density of capillaries in rat soleus muscle. The external iliac artery in one hindlimb was ligated for 2, 7 or 28 days, and the other, sham-operated, hindlimb was used as a control. Muscle blood flow in the ischaemic soleus muscle at 2, 7 and 28 days after external iliac artery ligation was significantly decreased compared with the control. The muscle fibre area and the ratio of the fibre area to body mass in the ischaemic soleus muscle at 28 days after the external iliac artery ligation were significantly reduced in the ischaemic solens muscle, but no change in the number of capillaries per fibre was observed. Capillary density per millimetres squared at 28 days and the ratios of the number of capillaries around type I fibres to the fibre area at 7 and 28 days were significantly increased in the ischaemic soleus muscle (P〈0.05). These results suggested that long-term severe limitation of blood flow in the soleus muscle by ligation of the external iliac artery could have induced the increase in capillary density, as a result of atrophy of muscle fibres rather than capillary growth.
