Abstract:
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonists of Formulae (I) or (II): and their use in treating psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases including major depression, anxiety-related disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, supranuclear palsy and feeding disorders as well as treatment of immunological, cardiovascular or heart-related diseases and colonic hypersensitivity associated with psychopathological disturbance and stress.
Abstract:
A substrate solution comprising (a) a substrate selected from a group consisting of salts of L-.gamma.-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide and L-.gamma.-glutamyl-3-carboxy-p-nitroanilide; and (b) a polyol selected from a group consisting of alkyl polyols containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms and 2 to 10 hydroxy groups and polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 600.Also, a kit for the determination of .gamma.-glutamyltransferase activity of the type comprising (a) a buffered medium comprising a buffer and a .gamma.-glutamyl residue acceptor; and (b) a substrate solution; the buffered medium and substrate solution being adapted such that preselected aliquots thereof can react in the presence of .gamma.-glutamyltransferase to produce an absorbing cleavage product. The kit is characterized in that the substrate solution is as described above.In addition, a method for determining .gamma.-glutamyltransferase acitivity of the type comprising (a) contacting in any preselected order an aliquot of a buffered medium comprising a buffer and a .gamma.-glutamyl residue acceptor, an aliquot of a substrate solution, and an aliquot of a sample to be assayed to thereby form a cleavage product; and (b) measuring the absorbance of said cleavage product. The method is characterized in that the substrate solution is as described above.
Abstract:
An improved method and apparatus is disclosed for producing frozen particulate compositions from liquid feedstock. A continuous stream of liquid feedstock is passed through an orifice and into a liquid freezant without the orifice contacting the freezant. Compositions produced by this improved method have low proportions of fine and large particles, yielding particularly beneficial results in the case of quality control materials. The compositions are advantageously employed in automated weighing and filling apparatus.
