Abstract: A novel form of lipase, namely feline pancreatic lipase (also termed feline classical pancreatic lipase) has an N-terminal amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. A method of purifying this lipase includes collecting pancreatic tissue from cats, delipidating the pancreatic tissue to produce a delipidated pancreatic extract, extracting pancreatic lipase from the delipidated pancreatic extract, and eluting the extracted pancreatic lipase through various columns. This lipase can be used for measuring pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity in serum thereby diagnosing pancreatitis in cats. To do so, antiserum against feline pancreatic lipase is prepared, and immunoassays are then performed in serum samples using this antiserum. In the event that increased concentration of pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity above the control range is detected in the serum, the cat might have pancreatitis.

Abstract: La structure de base du pentaérythritol est utilisée pour remplacer l'un des sucres ou les deux sucres du lipide A, ce qui donne lieu à la génération d'une série d'analogues du lipide A. Lesdits analogues du lipide A peuvent se distinguer du lipide A également en ce qui concerne, par exemple, le nombre, la nature et l'emplacement de groupes à charge négative, et le nombre, la nature et l'emplacement des chaînes lipidiques. Les analogues du lipide A peuvent être des agonistes du lipide A, utiles en tant qu'immunostimulateurs, ou des antagonistes du lipide A, utiles pour le traitement d'un choc infectieux. De la même manière, un résidu de pentaérythritylamine peut être utilisé pour remplacer un résidu de sucre aminé dans un ligand glucidique présentant une activité biologique d'intérêt, ce qui a pour effet de générer une série d'analogues dudit ligand.

Abstract: The present invention is related with the use of vinpocetine and the derivates developed from its formula that maintains the same effects for the treatment of epilepsy and its complications. Our results show that vinpocetine prevents all the abnormalities of the ABR waves that accompany the epileptic cortical activity observed for the ictal and post-ictal periods in two experimental models of epilepsy in vivo, that vinpocetine also inhibits the marked hearing loss and the characteristic EEG changes induced by two convulsing agents that differ in their mechanisms of action. These findings also indicate that the capacity of vinpocetine as an antiepileptic drug is not accompanied by adverse secondary effects.
