Assessment biological activity

The photocleavable linker allows detachment of the cyclic peptide from the resin to assess biological activity in solution. 

Preclinical development activities assess biological activity and the safety of the potential biopharmaceutical product through laboratory testing and nonclinical studies in experimental animals. In general ... 

Bioassays. Biological assays with Blattella germanlca (L) (German cockroaches) blotype Orlando normal were performed to assess biological activity. Trials were conducted In environmental chambers at 30°C and 10-20% R. H. Ten adult males were placed on each of the treated fabrics, dorsum up. The cockroach mortality was recorded after 24 and 48 hours. 

Assessing biological activity at a field site based on monitoring data can be difficult. However, there are a number of monitoring parameters that can be indicative of halorespiration. First, the presence of methane in the groundwater indicates that fermentation is occurring and that the potential for halorespiration exists. Second, the transformation of PCE andTCE has been studied intensely and many researchers report that of the three possible DCE isomers, 1,1 -DCE is the least significant intermediate and that cis-1,2-DCE predominates over trans-1,2-DCE. Third, because chlorinated ethenes are 55 to 85% chlorine by mass, the... 

The preclinical trials are performed in in vitro and animal studies to assess the biological activity of the new compound. In phase 1 of the clinical trials the safety of a new drug is examined and the dosage is determined by administering the compound to about 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. The focus in phase II is directed onto the issues of safety, evaluation of efficacy, and investigation of side effects in 100 to 300 patient volimteers. More than 1000 patient volunteers are treated with the new drug in phase 111 to prove its efficacy and safety over long-term use. 

The area of nonsteroidal antiestrogens along with other classes of nonsteroidal antagonists of sex-steroid hormone action has been reviewed to 1986, and these compounds have been grouped by chemical stmcture as a basis of classification rather than any biochemical or biological test system utilized to assess antagonist activity (46). 

In general, the described techniques provide an effective, flexible, and relatively fast solution for library design based on analysis of bioscreening data. The quantitative relationships, based on the assessment of contribution values of various molecular descriptors, not only permit the estimation of potential biological activity of candidate compounds before synthesis but also provide information concerning the modification of the structural features necessary for this activity. Usually these techniques are applied in the form of computational filters for constraining the size of virtual combinatorial libraries and... 

The biological activity of the compounds was assessed in two binding assays using [ H]-CP 55,940 (see Table 6.36) and [ H]-rimonabant (data not shown), and their functional activity determined using a GTPyS assay. Upon... 

The initial screen applied to assess the activity of a collection of compounds against a biological target of interest. This SCREEN identifies ACTIVES from a LIBRARY. 

The insertion of an additional heteroatom into the five-membered ring of pyrrolonaphthyridines is an obvious extension of the work described in the previous section. Syntheses of pyrazolo-, imidazo-, and thiazolonaphthyridine systems have been described during the review period, and the biological activities of the products assessed.
