    Notes: Abstract. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the abil-ity of S1319 (4-hydroxy-7-[1-(1-hydroxy-2-methylamino) ethyl]-1,3-benzothiazol-2(3H)-one acetate), a novel β 2-adrenoceptor selective agonist derived from marine sponge, to inhibit IgE-mediated activation of human cultured mast cells (HCMC) in vitro.¶Materials and Methods: We examined the effect of S1319 (racemate) on tryptase release and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) production in HCMC generated from human cord blood cells, after cross-linking of high affinity immunoglobulin E receptors (FcεRI), compared with those of the non-selective β-adrenoceptor agonist, isoproterenol (R-isomer), the selective β 2-adrenoceptor agonist, salbutamol (racemate), and the selective and long-acting β 2-adrenoceptor agonist, formoterol (racemate). We also evaluated the effect of S1319 on the intracellular cAMP level, inositol phosphate production and protein tyrosine phosphorylation in HCMC.¶Results: S1319 and β-adrenoceptor agonists inhibited the IgE-mediated release of tryptase. Approximate IC50 values of S1319, formoterol, isoproterenol and albuterol for the inhibition of tryptase release were 0.51 ± 0.12, 0.15 ± 0.1, 0.80 ± 0.09, and 28 ± 32.4 nM, respectively. S1319 and β-adrenoceptor agonists also inhibited TNF-α production by HCMC in a concentration-dependent manner. Approximate IC50 values of S1319, formoterol and isoproterenol for the inhibition of TNF-α production were 0.19 ± 0.03, 0.28 ± 0.02 and 0.32 ± 0.03 nM, respectively. S1319 caused a concentration-dependent increase in total cell cyclic AMP levels in HCMC. On the other hand, S1319 inhibited the accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and IgE-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 42-kDa protein, p42 mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase (ERK-2).¶Conclusion: These results indicate that S1319 and β-adrenoceptor agonists are potent inhibitors of the IgE-mediated release of mediators from HCMC.

    Notes: Abstract We conducted overnight polysomnographic sleep studies of 16 patients (5 men and 11 women) with clinically well-controlled myasthenia gravis (MG). The subtypes of MG were IIA (3 patients), IIB (11 patients), IV (1 patient) and V (1 patient). Twelve patients were found on polysomnography to have obstructive and/or central types of the sleep apnoeas (SA). Their mean age was 42.4, SD 16.4 years, and the mean duration of MG was 7.4, SD 6.96 years. SA was not detected in 4 patients whose mean age was 30.8, SD 10.71 years and who had manifested MG for a mean duration of only 0.9, SD 0.65 years. Thus, patients with a longer duration of MG tended to have more SA. In 9 of the 12 SA patients, polysomnographic studies were repeated following thymectomy. SA had resolved in 6 patients, but persisted in 3. These findings suggest that SA is a possible clinical manifestiation of MG and that nocturnal dysfunction of both peripheral and central colinergic systems may be involved.
