Urinary bladder smooth muscle is enriched with muscarinic receptors, the majority of which
are of the M 2 subtype whereas the remaining minority belong to the M 3 subtype. The …

The solution polymerization of aromatic diester-diacid monomers with aromatic diamines
was investigated as an alternative to the more conventional ‘two-step’ dianhydride-diamine …

The physiological role of neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and their receptors (Y1
and Y2) has been difficult to elucidate mainly due to the lack of selective and high-affinity …

The objective of this study was to characterize the receptor(s) to 5-HT mediating 5-HTP-induced
diarrhea in mice. The severity of diarrhea in mice was assessed using an arbitary …

High T g polyimides containing pendant phenolic hydroxyl groups were synthesized in high
molecular weight via one‐step solution polymerization of the dihydrochloride salt of 4,6‐…

It is well documented that certain substituted benzamides, such as cisapride, and benzimidazolones,
such as BIMU 8, enhance gastric emptying in rats. As these compounds possess 5-…

Six different soluble high‐performance aromatic polyimides, each prepared by solution
imidization to three controlled average molecular weights, were analyzed by size exclusion …

Soluble, fully cyclized m‐amino phenyl acetylene terminated polyimides based on several
anhydride/diamine monomers were prepared in N‐methylpyrrolidine (NMP) and cyclized by …

The dianhydride monomer 1,4‐phenylenebis(phenylmaleic anhydride) was polymerized with
various aromatic diamines in a one‐step solution polymerization to afford high molecular …

Utilizing solution cyclization, molecular weight and end group control techniques, soluble,
fully cyclized polyimides and polybenzoxazoles with very high glass transition temperatures …
