Methods All rats were randomly divided into control, positive control, migraine model, low- and high-dose ZTP groups, and glyceryl trinitrate was injected to induce migraine headache. The time of ears turning red, frequency of scratching head, climbing the cage, and head-twitching were used to evaluate rat behaviors. After 10 d administration of ZTP, the expression levels of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) both in cortex and hippocampus were determined by Western blotting. Results After 2 min of glyceryl trinitrate injection, rats showed headache phenomena that parallels the clinical symptoms of migraine, which peaked in 30 min, and lasted for 60 min. Frequency of head-twitching and numbers of scratching head in glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) group were significantly increased. In contrast, after ZTP (1.08 g/kg, ig) treatment, the numbers of scratching head with fore-limb, hind-limb and the frequency of head-twitching were significantly decreased. Flunarizine (FLU) and low-dose ZTP (0.54 g/kg) also showed a trend to decrease the numbers of scratching head and head-twitching frequency, but no significant difference. Besides, ZTP significantly decreased the up-regulated TRPV1 protein expression level both in cortex and hippocampus. Conclusion The present study shows that ZTP could significantly improve the migraine symptoms of headache in rats and TRPV1 might be one of the important molecular mechanisms. This is the first report about the effect of ZTP on TRPVl protein expression level both in cortex and hippocampus of rats.展开更多

In various combinations of Lewis acids and ionic liquids, Bi(NO3)3-5H2O/[HMIM]CIO4 proved to be a very efficient catalyst for the trinitration of activated aromatic compounds and reusable for 3 times. Reaction conditions for the trinitration were optimized and yields of the trinitro products were from mild to excellent. This sulfuric acid-free system has the advantages of strong trinitration ability, low environment pollution, low toxicity, low cost and high potential for industrial application.展开更多
