  • An examination of the effects of stimulant and depressant drugs on escape-avoidance conditioning in strains of rats selectively bred for emotionality-non-emotionality: a multivariate analysis of the effects of drugs on conditioned avoidance responses
    Neuropharmacology, 2002
    Co-Authors: B. D. Gupta, H. C. Holland
    Abstract:

    Abstract The effects of increasing doses of amphetamine, sodium amytal, adrenaline and Methylpentynol on 200 rats of the Maudsley Reactive and Non-Reactive strains were analyzed multivariately for scores of conditioned avoidance and intertrial crosses in an automatic shuttle box. The “dispersion” of the treatment, strains and dose groups was analyzed by use of a canonical analysis variance technique. Subsequently 2 “vectors” emerged; the first vector was denned as “conditionability” and the second “resistance to irrelevant activity”. An analysis of the vector scores revealed that the central stimulant and autonomic depressant drugs facilitated and the central depressant and autonomic stimulant drugs reduced the levels of conditionability but failed to affect the resistance to activity. The analysis of strain differences showed that the Non-Reactives were comparatively highly conditionable because of their lower resistance to activity. Further, it was only the Non-Reactive strain which differentiated the drug groups on both vectors; the Reactives were susceptible only to autonomic drugs. The treatment × dose interaction produced different dose-response relationships on both vectors.

  • structural elucidation of twelve novel esters composed of five fatty acids and three new branched alcohols together with four monoterpenoids from sancassania shanghaiensis acari acaridae
    Bioscience Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 2001
    Co-Authors: Tomoyo Sakata, Kimiko Okabe, Yasumasa Kuwahara
    Abstract:

    A total of 12 novel esters and four monoterpenoids (rosefuran, (2R,3R)-epoxyneral, and α- and β-acaridials) were detected by GC/MS analyses as the opisthonotal gland components of Sancassania shanghaiensis. The acidic fraction after hydrolysis was composed of five common fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and arachidic acid), while the alcoholic fraction consisted of two major components (C6 and C8 alcohols with branched methyls), together with a trace amount of C9 alcohol. The Two major alcohols were identified as new alcohols [(S)-2-methylpentanol and (2S,4S)-2,4-dimethylhexanol] by comparing the physico-chemical data of their 3,5-dinitrobenzoates with those of regio-selectively synthesized alcohols. The C9 alcohol was suggested as (2S,4S)-2,4-dimethylheptanol, based on a structural and biogenetic analogy to the C6 and C8 alcohols. Five of the compounds were each identified by GC to be (S)-2-methylpentyl esters from five fatty acids, and the other five components likewise as (2S,4S)-2,4-dim...
