Demoxytocin

Demoxytocin (INN) (brand names Sandopart, Odeax, Sandopral), also known as desaminooxytocin or deaminooxytocin, as well as 1-(3-mercaptopropanoic acid)oxytocin ([Mpa¹]OT), is an oxytocic peptide drug and synthetic analogue of oxytocin that is marketed in several European countries, including Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. It has the amino acid sequence Mpa-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH₂ (Mpa = β-mercaptopropionic acid), and is an analogue of oxytocin wherein the leading cysteine is replaced with β-mercaptopropionic acid. Demoxytocin has similar activities as oxytocin, but is more potent and has a longer half-life in comparison. Unlike oxytocin, which is given via intravenous injection, demoxytocin is administered as a buccal tablet formulation. It is used to induce labor,promote lactation, and to prevent and treat puerperal (postpartum) mastitis (breast inflammation). The drug was first synthesized in 1960 and was introduced into clinical practice in 1971 by Sandoz.

Pride (White Lion album)

Pride was the second studio album by the American/Danish hard rock band White Lion, released on June 21, 1987, by Atlantic Records. The album featured the two top ten hits "Wait" and "When the Children Cry". It peaked at number 11 on The Billboard 200 and remained in the Billboard Top 200 for a full year, selling two million copies in the US alone.

Overview

According to an interview with Sea of Tranquility, the recording process of the album took six weeks and the album was produced by Michael Wagener. The album's first single, "Wait", was released on June 1, 1987, but did not make waves until MTV began airing the music video in January 1988, seven months after its release, pushing the single to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. In August 1988, more than a year after the album's release, the second single "Tell Me" also featuring a music video hit #58. Pride's third single, a gentle acoustic ballad titled "When the Children Cry", made it all the way to #3, again with heavy MTV rotation of the music video, marking Pride one of just 20 hard rock albums to ever have multiple top 10 hits. The album peaked at #11 on the album charts. Pride would remain on the top 200 Billboard album charts for a full year.
