An early increase in BBB permeability was occurred at 1–5 h post injection that could be blocked by either anti-TNF-αor anti-IL-1β antibodies. A late one (neutrophil-associated BBB opening) was manifested at 6–12 h that was inhibited by vinblastine pretreatment.

The polymers can be described by the formula 1%C60PMMA and 10%C60PMMA. They consist of a C60 core with a maximum of 6 polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) chains. The difference between these derivatives is the weight distribution of C60. Nanosecond pulse radiolysis and laser flash photolysis studies, UV/VIS spectroscopic and fluorescence measurements have been performed to investigate the photophysical properties of 1%C60PMMA and 10%C60PMMA. The absorption spectra of the C60PMMA co-polymers exhibit a band at 210 to 220nm for PMMA and at 330nm for C60 independent of the solvent polarity showing that they have a small dipole moment in the electronic ground state. The triplet-triplet (T-T) absorption spectra of 10%C60PMMA in toluene and chloroform peak at the same wavelength and are broader than those of C60, indicating that they are addition spectra of 10%C60PMMA and neat C60. Physical addition of PMMA increases the solubility of C60 in chloroform, but does not change the T-T absorption spectrum, unless PMMA is chemically bound to C60. Gaussian band analysis of the T-T absorption spectra of 10%C60PMMA results in an additional band for pure 10%C60PMMA at (626.8±15.7)nm in toluene and (652.4±1.9)nm in chloroform. The triplet state lifetime of 10%C60PMMA is smaller than that of C60 at 79μs. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen production (ΦΔ) decrease with the C60 content in the co-polymer. The values for 1%C60PMMA and 10%C60PMMA in polar chloroform are 4% and 26% respectively. The intersystem crossing from S1 to T1 as well as the triplet state lifetime decrease with increasing number and length of PMMA chains connected to C60. 1%C60PMMA also shows no T-T absorption suggesting a relative high photochemical stability for 1%C60PMMA.","PeriodicalId":12470,"journal":{"name":"Fullerene Science and Technology","volume":"98 1","pages":"281 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85329422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of monomalonic acid C60 (MMA C60) on the same preparations were compared. The effects of those compounds on the taenia coli, portal vein and vas deferens of guinea pigs were also tested. The FC4S did, while MMA C60 did not elicit contracture of the circular muscle of stomach and taenia coli. Both FC4S and MMA C60 did not elicit contraction on the portal vein and on the vas deferens of the guinea pig. Prazosin (0.5 μM) or propranolol (0.5 μM) did not alter the FC4S elicit contracture of the circular muscle of stomach. However, atropine (0.01, 0.1 and 1 μM), tetrodotoxin (0.1 μM) or low calcium medium decreased reversibly the FC4S elicited contracture of the circular muscle of stomach. The effect of FC4S on the contracture of the gastric muscles was also tested using various muscarinic receptor subtype antagonists. 4-DAMP (1 μM), muscarinic M3 receptor antagonist, and tropicamide (1 μM), muscarinic M4 receptor antagonist, did not alter the contracture elicited by FC4S. Pirenzepine (0.1 μM), muscarinic M1 receptor antagonist, and methoctramine (0.25 μM), muscarinic M2 receptor antagonist, significantly decreased the FC4S elicited contracture of the circular muscle. Atropine (1 μM) or tetrodotoxin (0.1 μM) completely blocked the FC4S elicited contracture of the circular muscle of stomach. It is concluded that FC4S elicited contracture of the circular muscle of stomach. The effect may be due to FC4S acts on the cholinergic cells existed in the gastric muscle and indirectly activating the tetrodotoxin dependent releasing of the transmitters from the cells, then, activating the muscarinice M1, M2 receptors in the muscle eliciting the contractures.","PeriodicalId":12470,"journal":{"name":"Fullerene Science and Technology","volume":"74 1","pages":"375 - 395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74442245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
