Using MALDI-MS with bacteria has enabled the production of ‘fingerprints» of the intact cells; the ions observed are associated with the proteinaceous components of the cell wall. This study reports the adaptation of this technique to the direct analysis of fungal cells. Because of the large amount of carbohydrate in the fungal cell wall, the ions observed in the mass spectrometric experiments might be of carbohydrate origin. Penicillium spp., Scytalidium dimidiatum and Trichophyton rubrum have been studied in this preliminary investigation and all furnish individually distinctive spectra which seem to provide a profile of the cellular material with discrete peaks being observed over the mass range 2 to 13 kDa. The spectra obtained are reproducible within the method used but, as shown in our previous studies on bacteria, washing might selectively release components from the fungal cell wall.","PeriodicalId":19946,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacy and Pharmacology Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"107-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77302515","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}

To increase the aqueous solubility of the drug a nimesulide-L-lysine salt was synthesized in our laboratory; its aqueous solubility was greater than that of nimesulide (solubility in purified water 7.5 mg mL−1, and 0.01 mg mL-1, respectively). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The aim of this study was to compare the anti-inflammatory profiles of nimesulide and nimesulide-L-lysine salt in a two-step in-vitro investigation.

In a second step we evaluated the effects of the drugs on the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and proteoglycan by chondrocytes from man.
