Behavioural studies on rats injected with l-cycloserine and other compounds
1964
l-cycloserine, a cyclic derivative of O-substituted hydroxylamine, causes the suppression of the conditioned avoidance reaction in the rat. The subsequent injection of equimolar amounts of pyridoxine hydrochloride is responsible for a complete reversal of this suppression. The suppression of the conditioned response is not observed with the d-isomer of cycloserine. Isoniazid is a strong antagonist of l-cycoserine. Changes in the brain level of GABA under several conditions are described. These changes suggest though do not establish a relationship between the block of the conditioned response and the elevation of the aminoacid above its physiological concentration.
INTESTINAL ABSORPTION KINETICS OF AMIODARONE IN RAT SMALL INTESTINE
1997
Amiodarone is a widely used antiarrhythmic agent with highly variable therapeutic effects. These seem to be related, at least in part, to the pharmacokinetics of the drug and particularly to some features of its gastrointestinal absorption process. The drug exhibits physico-chemical properties highly suitable for diffusion across lipophilic absorbing membranes, but its low aqueous solubility can act as the rate limiting step for absorption, making the process erratic and variable. In order to gain an insight into the intestinal absorption mechanism of the drug and detect possible non-linearities, a series of experiments using a classical rat gut in situ preparation were carried out with thr…
Determination of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride by Flow Injection Analysis with Chemiluminescence Detection
2001
Abstract A new method is proposed for the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride by flow injection analysis with direct chemiluminescence detection. The method is based on the oxidation of the drug by potassium permanganate in sulfuric acid medium at 80°C. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.03–8 ppm phenylephrine hydrochloride, with a relative standard deviation (n = 51, 0.5 ppm) of 1.1% and sample throughput of 134/h. The influence of 38 different foreign compounds was tested, and the method was applied to the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride in 8 different pharmaceutical formulations.
Plasma levels and cerebrospinal fluid penetration by duloxetine in a patient with a non-fatal overdose during a suicide attempt
2009
Duloxetine is a potent and selective inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake with weak activity on dopamine reuptake (Wong et al. 1993). Daily doses of 60 mg are effective in the acute treatment of major depression. Duloxetine is extensively metabolized by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (CYP) 1A2 and to a lesser extent 2D6 (Lobo et al. 2008) to numerous non-active metabolites. Maximum plasma concentration occurs after 6 h, steady-state within 3 d and the mean terminal half-life is 12 h. Fatal outcomes have been reported for acute overdoses as low as 1000 mg, and symptoms of duloxetine overdose are well described. However, information about plasma levels of duloxetine and correspondin…
Search for New Antihistaminic Compounds by Molecular Connectivity
1999
In this paper it is demonstrated that by adequate selection of topological descriptors we can make possible the prediction of different pharmacological properties, such as plasmatic concentration or sedative effect, within a group of antihistaminic drugs. Moreover, also demonstrated is the usefulness of molecular connectivity in the search of new active compounds. Examples of such compounds are 4-(l-buthylpenthyl)pyridine, N-(3-bromopropyl)-phtalimide and N-(3-chlorpropyl)-piperidin hydrochloride. All of them show antihistaminic activity values more than 30% higher than that of terfenadine, which is used as the reference drug.
Polymorphs and Hydrates of Sequifenadine Hydrochloride: Crystallographic Explanation of Observed Phase Transitions and Thermodynamic Stability
2017
In this study, detailed analysis of crystal structures was used to rationalize the observed stability and phase transformations of sequifenadine hydrochloride polymorphs and hydrates, as well as to understand the observed structural diversity. The performed polymorph and hydrate screening revealed the existence of six polymorphs and four hydrates. Crystal structures of these phases were determined either from single crystal or from powder diffraction data. The different possibilities for packing of sequifenadine cations were found to be the main reason for the observed structural diversity of polymorphs. The hydrate structures were found to be structurally similar and related to those of pa…
Preparation of Carbon-14 Labeled 2-(2-mercaptoacetamido)-3-phenylpropanoic Acid as Metallo-beta-lactamases Inhibitor (MBLI), for Coadministration wit…
2019
Aim and Objective: Bacteria could become resistant to β-lactam antibiotics through production of β- lactamase enzymes like metallo-β-lactamase. 2-(2-mercaptoacetamido)-3-phenylpropanoic acid was reported as a model inhibitor for this enzyme. In order to elucidate the mechanism of action in the body’s internal environment, preparation of a labeled version of 2-(2-mercaptoacetamido)-3-phenylpropanoic acid finds importance. In this regard, we report a convenient synthetic pathway for preparation of carbon-14 labeled 2-(2- mercaptoacetamido)-3-phenylpropanoic acid. Materials and Methods: This study was initiated by using non-radioactive materials. Then, necessary characterization was performed…
Photoluminescence immunosensor based on bovine leukemia virus proteins immobilized on the ZnO nanorods
2019
Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) proteins gp51, which are serving as antigens for specific antibodies against BLV proteins (anti-gp51), were applied as biological recognition part in the design of immunosensor devoted for the determination of anti-gp51. The efficiency of the immobilization of BLV proteins gp51 on ZnO nanorod (ZnO- NR) modified glass (ZnO-NR/glass) surface was evaluated. The formation of antigen-antibody complex on the ZnO/glass modified by the BLV proteins gp51 (gp51/ZnO-NR/glass) was investigated by the determination of changes in ZnO photoluminescence. The applicability of gp51/ZnO-NR/glass in the design of photoluminescence based immunosensor was evaluated. Bovine serum albu…
DC polarographic reduction of chloroguanide hydrochloride.
1984
Chloroguanide hydrochloride, an antimalarial drug, shows one well-defined DC polarographic wave in Britton-Robinson buffered media. In the pH range 3–9 the observed reduction wave is related to the reduction of the two azomethine centers on the monoprotonated biguanide group (BH+). The effects of pH and other experimental variables on the limiting current and half-wave potentials as well as the reduction mechanism are discussed.
Gold nanostars coated with neutral and charged polyethylene glycols: A comparative study of in-vitro biocompatibility and of their interaction with S…
2015
Gold nanostars (GNS) have been coated with four different polyethylene glycols (PEGs) equipped with a -SH function for grafting on the gold surface. These PEGs have different chain lengths with average MW = 2000, 3000, 5000 and average number of -O-CH2-CH2 - units 44, 66, and 111, respectively. Two are neutral and two are terminated with -COOH and -NH2 functions, thus bearing negative and positive charges at physiological pH, thanks to the formation of carboxylate and ammonium groups. The negative charge of the GNS coated with PEG carboxylate has also been exploited to further coat the GNS with the PAH (polyallylamine hydrochloride) cationic polymer. Vitality tests have been carried out on …
