    Notes: Abstract Methysticin is one of the constituents of Piper methysticum which possesses anticonvulsant and neuroprotective properties. Its effects on different in vitro seizure models were tested using extracellular recordings in rat temporal cortex slices containing the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. Elevating [K+]o0 induced seizure-like events with tonic and clonic electrographic phases in area CA1. Lowering [Ca2+]0 caused recurrent seizure like episodes with large negative field potential shifts. Lowering Mg2+ induced short recurrent discharges in area CA3 and CA1 while ictaform events lasting for many seconds were induced in the subiculum, entorhinal and temporal neocortex. In the hippocampus the activity stayed stable over a number of hours. In contrast, the ictaform events in the subiculum, entorhinal and temporal cortex changed their characteristics after one to two hours to late recurrent discharges. In a concentration-range from 10 to 100 μM methysticin reversibly blocked all these types of epileptiform activity. Decreases in [Ca2+]0 and associated slow field potentials evoked by repetitive stimulation of the stratum radiatum or the alveus remained almost unaffected by methysticin. A paired pulse stimulus paradigm used to test for effects of methysticin on synaptically evoked transient field potentials in normal medium revealed interference with mechanisms involved in frequency potentiation. While responses to alvear stimulation were largely unaffected, the responses to a paired pulse stimulus to stratum radiatum were depressed over the whole range of tested stimulus intervals. The findings suggest that methysticin has effects on different patterns of epileptiform activity possibly by interfering with processes responsible for frequency potentiation.

In a concentration-range from 10 to 100 μM methysticin reversibly blocked all these types of epileptiform activity. Decreases in [Ca2+]0 and associated slow field potentials evoked by repetitive stimulation of the stratum radiatum or the alveus remained almost unaffected by methysticin. A paired pulse stimulus paradigm used to test for effects of methysticin on synaptically evoked transient field potentials in normal medium revealed interference with mechanisms involved in frequency potentiation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Isolated [M6S14] Units in Ternary Sulfides of Technetium and RheniumWe have successfully prepared the ternary sulfides Rb10Tc6S14, Cs10Tc6S14, Rb10Re6S14, and Cs10Re6S14 by heating alkali carbonate with elemental technetium or rhenium in a hydrogen stream charged with sulfur.Structural investigations on single crystals revealed that these compounds crystallize in the space group Fm3m. [M6S14] cluster units (M \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \hat = $\end{document} Tc, Re) are found as the characteristic structural features, in which regular M6 octahedra are coordinated by sulfur atoms over their eight faces and six vertices. Other than in the case of the previously investigated ternary technetium and rhenium chalcogenides, these units are not linked to one another, but occur as isolated complex anions which form a cubic close packed array. The alkali ions, whose sites are partly statistically occupied, are found on the corners, the edges and the longer face diagonals of a rhombic dodecahedron surrounding each of these units. The dodecahedra share all their faces with one another.The diamagnetic behaviour which was measured on Cs10Tc6S14 in the temperature range from 10 to 295 K is in accordance with a 24-electron-configuration of the regular M6 octahedra.
    Notes: Durch Schmelzreaktionen von Alkalicarbonat mit elementarem Technetium oder Rhenium in einem mit Schwefel beladenen Wasserstoffstrom gelang die Darstellung der ternären Sulfide Rb10Tc6S14, Cs10Tc6S14, Rb10Re6S14 und Cs10Re6S14.Strukturuntersuchungen an Einkristallen ergaben, daß diese Verbindungen isotyp in der Raumgruppe Fm3m kristallisieren. Als charakteristische Strukturelemente treten [M6S14]-Baueinheiten (M \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \hat = $\end{document} Tc, Re) auf, in denen die unverzerrten M6-Oktaeder über den acht Flächen und sechs Ecken von Schwefelatomen koordiniert sind. Diese Einheiten sind, anders als bei den bisher untersuchten ternären Technetium- und Rheniumchalcogeniden, nicht untereinander verknüpft, sondern liegen als isolierte komplexe Anionen vor, die sich entsprechend einer kubisch dichten Kugelpackung anordnen. Die Alkalimetallionen befinden sich mit teilweise statistischer Besetzung ihrer Punktlagen auf den Ecken, den Kanten und den längeren Flächendiagonalen eines jede dieser Einheiten umgebenden Rhombendodekaeders. Die Dodekaeder sind untereinander allseitig flächenverknüpft.Der an Cs10Tc6S14 im Temperaturbereich zwischen 10 und 295 K gemessene Diamagnetismus stimmt mit der Annahme einer 24-Elektronenkonfiguration der regulären M6-Oktaeder überein.
