Sensitizers-activators

The 3 isozymes are activated by G protein-coupled receptors through two different mechanisms [2]. The first involves activated a-subunits of the Gq family of heterotrimeric G proteins (Gq, Gn, Gi4, G15/16). These subunits activate the (31, (33 and (34 PLC isozymes through direct interaction with a sequence in the C terminus. The domain on the Gqa-subunit that interacts with the (3 isozymes is located on a surface a-helix that is adjacent to the Switch III region, which undergoes a marked conformational change during activation. The second mechanism of G protein activation of PLC 3 isozymes involves (3y-subunits released from Gi/0 G proteins by their pertussis toxin-sensitive activation by certain receptors. The 3y-subunits activate the 32 and 33 PLC isozymes by interacting with a sequence between the conserved X and Y domains. 

A second reason is due to the absence of preliminary risk analyses in everyday activities involving chemical substances. Only sensitive activities are subjected to analyses (mainly because of what is at stake and for financial reasons). This is due to, on the one hand, the absence of literature on how to diagnose a priori risks and, on the other hand, the difficulty of such an analysis,(the chemistry being difficult). Finally, preliminary risk analyses are not part of managerial experience and work practice. 

The packaging systems used were discussed in some detail in several EPARs. The number of products requiring a desiccant of some type is quite a high proportion of the total. In many cases both blister packs (of various compositions) and bottles (glass or plastics) were used for the same product. Effectiveness in protecting light-sensitive active ingredients and products is mentioned in the EPARs. Child resistance and tamper evidence is also mentioned.

Clearly the relationships between protein structure and function and inherent sensitizing activity are complicated and far from fully defined, and it is against this background of uncertainty that it is necessary to develop approaches suitable for hazard identification.

The immobilization of the sensitizer and catalyst is especially effective, because contamination of the materials (NBD and QC) with a sensitizer or catalyst markedly lower the efficiency of this system. 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzophenone was immobilized on poly(styrene) (30) and silica gel to use it as insoluble sensitizer 101 The polymer pendant sensitizer (30) was much more active than the monomeric compound when used in acetonitrile. Usually, the sensitizing activity of the sensitizer remained almost unchanged through immobilization, but sometimes decreased depending on their structure. As a catalyst of back reaction to release heat, Co(II)-tetraphenylporphyrine was anchored on polystyrene) beads (31), and showed good activity in its immobilized form10Z>. Activity decrease was observed- after several times recyclings of the catalyst.

Direct pumping of poison centers as well as energy transfer from co-activators, and energy transfer from activators all represent an energy loss in the system. In addition, activators and co-activators also have non-radiative decay routes. Because non-radiative decay is usually phonon-assisted, non-radiative decay is exacerbated by increasing temperature and manifests itself by a characteristic temperature at which luminescence is quenched. The crystallographic relations that provide optimum sensitizer -activator energy transfer are outlined by Blasse (9)...

Besides W/O and O/W emulsions there are so-called multiple emulsions of the W/O/W type. These emulsions can be produced in a one-stage modified PIT process [32] or by emulsification of a primary W/O emulsion in an outer water phase. These systems are an approach to protect sensitive active substances such as vitamins or enzymes in a formulation. 

The response of mast cells includes release of arachidonic acid due to membrane PhL A2 activation following a ligand-induced increase in cellular Ca2+. PTX reduces the Ca2+-mediated GTP S-dependent release of this fatty acid in permeabil-ized cells [102,103]. This raised the possibility of a direct link, not only between receptors and PhL C, but also between receptors and PhL A2. Existence of a G protein-mediated. PTX-sensitive, activation of PhL A2 independent of G protein-mediated activation of PhL C was confirmed in studies first with fibroblasts [104] and then with FRTL thyroid cells [105]. Studies with the latter cells show that a,-adrenergic receptors promote arachidonic acid release [105] and that this effect is mimicked in permeabilized cells by GTP and is not blocked by inhibition of PhL C with neomycin. Thus, at least two Gp proteins need to be defined a Gp-stimu-lating PhL C (Gp(c) and a Gp-stimulating PhL A2 (Gp,a). It is possible that rat brain G is PTX-sensitive Gplc. 

In addition to the above testing protocols, the local lymph node assay (LLNA) has been validated and accepted to assess the skin sensitization potential of chemicals in animals. This does not replace the guinea pig maximization test but is considered to be an equivalent. This in vivo method helps to reduce the number of animals used for contact sensitization activity. This test is based on the principle that sensitizer can induce a primary proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the site of chemical application. This provides a quantitative measurement in which the proliferation is proportional to the dose applied. 

Colorants can be divided into water-soluble dyes and water-insoluble pigments. Some of the insoluble colors or pigments can also provide opacity to tablet coatings or gelatin shells, which can promote stability of light-sensitive active materials. Pigments such as the iron oxides, titanium dioxide, and some of the aluminum lakes are especially useful for this purpose.
