proteolytic processing of porcine big endothelin-1 catalyzed by cathepsin d.	cathepsin d, a candidate for endothelin-converting enzyme (ece), was allowed to act on porcine big endothelin-1 (big et-1, 1-39). the proteinase primarily cleaved the asp18-ile19 and trp21-val22 bonds of big et-1(1-39), with a optimum ph of 3.5. the mature et-1(1-21), generated by the cleavage between trp21 and val22, was subsequently degraded by removal of most of the c-terminal tripeptide (ile19-ile20-trp21). therefore, cathepsin d is by no means a specific ece, although the proteinase does cl ...	1990	2268325
fractionated ifosfamide therapy produces a time-dependent increase in ifosfamide metabolism.	1. fifteen patients received 1.5 g m-2 of ifosfamide intravenously over 0.5 h every day for 5 days. twenty-one courses of treatment were studied. plasma was assayed for ifosfamide by gas liquid chromatography and plasma alkylating activity was measured using the nitrobenzylpyridine (nbp) reaction. 2. a pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a significant decrease in the median (range) elimination half-life of ifosfamide from 7.2 (2.8-14.2) h on day 1 to 4.6 (2.3-7.7) h on day 5 (p less than 0.001, wi ...	2008	2271371
