Thromboxane (TX) A(2), prostacyclin (PGI(2)), and nitric oxide (NO) regulate platelet function and interaction with the vessel wall. Inhibition of TXA(2), implemented synthesis of PGI(2), and supply of exogenous NO may afford therapeutic benefit. 2NTX-99 [4-methoxy-N(1)-(4-trans-nitrooxycyclohexyl)-N(3)-(3-pyridinylmethyl)-1,3-benzenedicarboxamide], a new chemical entity

After oral administration of amineptine (7-[(10-11)-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(a,d)cycloheptane-5yl] amino heptanoic acid), an original tricyclic antidepressant, seven metabolites were isolated from urine and plasma of rat, dog and man. The metabolic pathways were similar for the three species studied. The two major pathways

The behavior of small molecules on a surface depends critically on both molecule-substrate and intermolecular interactions. We present here a detailed comparative investigation of 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, TMA) on two different surfaces: highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and
