Pharmacokinetic analysis of the interaction between dicoumarol and tolbutamide in man
1976
The effect of repeated administration of tolbutamide on the elimination and anticoagulant action of a single oral dose of dicoumarol 600 mg was studied in four healthy male subjects using a crossover design. In all subjects the plasma concentration of dicoumarol in the postabsorptive phase was lower during concomitant tolbutamide treatment. However, the subjects differed with respect to the elimination kinetics of dicoumarol and the effect of tolbutamide on some of the measured pharmacokinetic paramaters. In two subjects dicoumarol was eliminated by apparent first-order kinetics. Tolbutamide led to a pronounced increase in the elimination rate and a shift in the plasma concentration-respons…
Displacement of phenprocoumon (Marcumar) from albumin by sulfonylurea compounds, suramin, and ioglycamic acid.
1972
The technique of Sephadex gel filtration was employed to characterize the effect of some sulfonylurea compounds, ioglycamic acid, and suramin on the binding of phenprocoumon to bovine serum albumin.
Hepatic metabolism of diclofenac: role of human CYP in the minor oxidative pathways.
1999
The aim of this study was to re-examine the human hepatic metabolism of diclofenac, with special focus on the generation of minor hydroxylated metabolites implicated in the idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity of the drug. Different experimental approaches were used: human hepatocytes, human microsomes, and engineered cells expressing single human CYP (cytochromes P450). Human hepatocytes formed 3'-hydroxy-, 4'-hydroxy-, 5-hydroxy- 4',5-dihydroxy-, and N,5-dihydroxydiclofenac, as well as several lactams. Formation of 4'- and 5-hydroxydiclofenac by human liver microsomes followed a Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km 9 +/- 1 microM; Vmax 432 +/- 15 pmol/min/mg and Km 43 +/- 5 microM; and Vmax 15.4 +/- 0.6…
Synthesis and first evaluation of new 18F-labelled sulfonylureas for the determination of the beta-cell status in vivo
2001
The syntheses and first in vitro evaluations for two fluoride bearing sulfonylurea derivatives are reported. Firstly, the tolbutamide derivative 1-[4-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)benzenesulfonyl]-3-butyl urea (2-[18F]fluoroethyl-tolbutamide) could be labeled efficiently with [18F]fluoride. Subsequently, the glibenclamid derivative N-(2-(4-(N-((cyclohexylamino)carbonyl)sulfonylamino)phenyl)ethyl) 2-(5-chloro-2-[18F]fluorethoxy)phenyl) formamide (2-[18F]fluoroethyl-glibenclamide) was labeled with [18F]fluoride in high yields. Its ability to induce insuline secretion from rat beta-cells in relation to the original glibenclamide was determined.
Effect of serum protein binding on pharmacokinetics and anticoagulant activity of phenprocoumon in rats.
1980
The relationship among serum protein binding, kinetics of elimination, distribution, and anticoagulant activity of phenprocoumon was investigated in 25 selected outbred Sprague-Dawley rats which differed in the extent of serum protein binding of this drug. In addition, the serum protein binding of phenprocoumon was altered in inbred Lewis rats by continuous treatment with tolbutamide. This drug was found to displace phenprocoumon from serum proteins without affecting its intrinsic clearance. The serum free fraction values (fs)of the selected Sprague-Dawley rats ranged from 0.0053 to 0.0145. There were positive and linear correlations between fsand the first-order elimination rate constant (…
Oxidation of tienilic acid by human yeast-expressed cytochromes P-450 2C8, 2C9, 2C18 and 2C19. Evidence that this drug is a mechanism-based inhibitor…
1996
Oxidation of tienilic acid by human cytochromes P-450 (CYP) 2C9, 2C18, 2C8 and 2C19 was studied using recombinant enzymes expressed in yeast. CYP 2C9 was the best catalyst for 5-hydroxylation of tienilic acid (K(m) = 5 +/- 1 microM, kcat = 1.7 +/- 0.2 min-1), 30-fold more potent in terms of kcat/K(m) than CYP 2C18 (K(m) = 150 +/- 15 microM, kcat = 1.8 +/- 0.2 min-1) and 300-fold more potent than CYP 2C8 (K(m) = 145 +/- 15 microM, kcat = 0.2 +/- 0.1 min-1). CYP 2C19 was unable to catalyze this hydroxylation under our experimental conditions. During this study, a marked effect of the ionic strength on the activities (hydroxylations of tienilic acid and tolbutamide) of these cytochromes P-450 …
Influence of disulfiram on oxidative drug demethylation.
1970
In clinical antiepileptie therapy it has been observed that the simultaneous administration of diphenylhydantoin and various other drugs causes toxic reactions to diphenylhydantoin. I t was found that disulfiram (Olesen, 1966) as well as ehloramphenieol (Christensen and Skovsted, 1969) cause toxic effects in patients treated with diphenylhydantoin. They are attributed to an increased concentration of diphenylhydantoin in the plasma. Analogous observations show that chloramphenieol enhances the clinical effects of tolbutamide and dicoumarol (Christensen and Skovsted, 1969). Since diphenylhydantoin is metabolized chiefly by p-hydroxylation to 5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-hydantoin (Butler, 19…
Radiosynthesis of 1-(4-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)benzenesulfonyl)-3-butyl urea: a potentialβ-cell imaging agent
2002
Summary Tolbutamide (1) is a sulfonurea agent used to stimulate insulin secretion in type 2 diabetic patients. Its analogue 1-(4-(2-[ 18 F]fluoroethoxy)benzenesulfonyl)-3butyl urea (3) was synthesized in overall radiochemical yields of 45% as a potential b-cell imaging agent. Compound 3 was synthesized by 18 F-fluoroalkylation of the corresponding hydroxy precursor (2 )w ith 2-[ 18 F]fluoroethyltosylate in DMF at 1208C for 10 min followed by purification with HPLC in a synthesis time of 50 min. Insulin secretion experiments of the authentic 19 F-standard compound on rat islets showed that the compound has a similar stimulating effect on insulin secretion as that of tolbutamide (1). The part…
New hypoglycaemic agents selected by molecular topology.
2003
Abstract New compounds showing hypoglycaemic activity have been designed through a computer aided method based on quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) and molecular connectivity. After calculation of topological indices for a set of 89 compounds including active and inactive with regards to hypoglycaemic action, linear discriminant analysis was performed so that a useful model to predict such an activity was achieved. Later on, the discriminant model was applied on a huge database so that fourteen compounds were selected as potential new hypoglycaemics. From them, just five were finally selected for experimental test on expected hypoglycaemic activity. Among the selected comp…
Effects of sulphonylureas on spontaneous motility and induced contractions in rat isolated uterus
1986
Abstract To clarify the action of sulphonylureas on calcium, the effect of tolbutamide and ghbenclamide has been investigated on a Ca-dependent process, the contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle. Both sulphonylureas antagonized the contractions evoked by CaCl2 in a non-competitive manner when the uterus was maintained in depolarizing solution and did not affect the spontaneous contractions of rat uterus. The capacity of tolbutamide and ghbenclamide to relax vanadate-induced contraction of rat uterus in Ca-free medium suggests that sulphonylureas may have an intracellular site of action related to cytosolic free Ca levels, or effect a reduction in Ca action.
