Original and generic preservation solutions in organ transplantation. A new paradigm?

Acta cir. bras; 35 (1), 2020
Abstract Solid organ transplantation is a very complex process, in which the storage of the graft in a preservation solution is mandatory in order to extend ischemic times and contain further damage. The condition in which the organ is transplanted is critical for the outcome of the organ recipient. The ...

Neuroprotective and MAOB inhibitory effects of a series of caffeine-8-thioglycolic acid amides

The effects of new derivatives of caffeine-8-thioglycolic acid (100 µM) on isolated rat brain synaptosomes, human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y and human recombinant MAOB enzyme (hMAOB) (1 µM) were evaluated. Most of the compounds, administered alone, didn't show statistically significant neurotoxic ...
