Abstract
In a continuing effort to elucidate the structure–activity relationships of the lead antagonist
N-[2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-3-pivaloyloxypropyl]-N′-[4-(methylsulfonylamino)benzyl]thiourea (1), the distances between the proposed four
pharmacophores in 1 have been varied by insertion or deletion of one carbon to optimize their fit to the receptor. In addition, the acyloxy group of
the C region was replaced with amide and N-hydroxy amide to identify the pharmacophoric importance of the ester group in the C2 region. The results
indicated that the pharmacophoric arrangement of 1 was optimal for receptor binding affinity and antagonism, and the ester of the C2 region was
significant for receptor binding. Among the derivatives, compound 19 showed distinct behavior with a 2-fold improvement in antagonism but a 13-fold
reduction in binding affinity compared to 1. The partial separation of pharmacophoric requirements of these two assays has been noted before and
compound 19 is thus selective for the calcium entry-linked receptor population. The conformational analysis of 1 generated three distinct conformers
having different types of hydrophobic interactions, which will be utilized for exploring the active conformation of the VR1 ligand.

The proton-pump inhibitors: similarities and differences.
Horn J.
Department of Pharmacy, University of Washington School of Pharmacy, Seattle 98185, USA.
OBJECTIVE: This paper examines the clinical pharmacology of the proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and briefly reviews some comparative studies of these
agents. BACKGROUND: PPIs have emerged as the treatment of choice for acid-related diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and
peptic ulcer disease. Although these drugs-omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole-share a common structure (all are substituted
benzimidazoles) and mode of action (inhibition of H+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase [ATPase]), each differs somewhat in its clinical pharmacology.
RESULTS: In comparative clinical trials found in MEDLINE, PPIs administered once daily produced endoscopic evidence of healing in >90% of patients
with duodenal ulcer after 4 weeks of treatment, in >90% of those with gastric ulcer after 6 weeks of treatment, and in >90% of those with
ulcerative or erosive GERD after 8 weeks of treatment. Maintenance therapy with daily doses of a PPI has been shown to be an effective means of
preventing GERD relapse. PPIs also inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori, now recognized as an important factor in peptic ulcer disease, and, when
administered in combination with antibiotics, provide the best treatment for eradication of the bacterium. Rabeprazole has a more rapid onset of
H+,K+-ATPase inhibition than the other PPIs and, compared with omeprazole, a greater effect on intragastric pH after the first dose. Omeprazole and
lansoprazole have a greater potential for drug-drug interactions than do pantoprazole and rabeprazole. CONCLUSION: Although the individual PPIs have
similar efficacy in many cases, differences between them should be considered when choosing a treatment regimen.

The Immune System— First of Two Parts
Peter J. Delves, Ph.D., and Ivan M. Roitt, D.Sc.
Since this article has no abstract, we have provided an extract of the first 100 words of the full text and any section headings.
The immune system is an organization of cells and molecules with specialized roles in defending against infection. There are two fundamentally
different types of responses to invading microbes. Innate (natural) responses occur to the same extent however many times the infectious agent is
encountered, whereas acquired (adaptive) responses improve on repeated exposure to a given infection. The innate responses use phagocytic cells
(neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages), cells that release inflammatory mediators (basophils, mast cells, and eosinophils), and natural killer
cells. The molecular components of innate responses include complement, acute-phase proteins, and cytokines such as the interferons. Acquired
responses involve the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
