Partially competitive inhibition of intestinal baclofen absorption by beta-alanine, a nonessential dietary aminoacid.
1991
In situ intestinal absorption of baclofen in the rat in the presence of beta-alanine has been investigated. Through the perfusion of 0.50 mM baclofen solutions containing variable concentrations of the aminoacid (from 5 to 100 mM), a partially competitive inhibition of baclofen absorption was characterized: absorption rate pseudoconstants of the spasmolytic drug decrease as beta-alanine concentration increases, until a limiting value is obtained (36.8 per cent of that found for baclofen alone). A computer method was developed in order to calculate parameters governing baclofen absorption in the presence of beta-aminoacid, with the following results: Vm = 11.22 mM h-1; Km = 7.42 mM; Ki = 2.4…
Estimation of ADME Properties in Drug Discovery: Predicting Caco-2 Cell Permeability Using Atom-Based Stochastic and Non-stochastic Linear Indices
2007
The in vitro determination of the permeability through cultured Caco-2 cells is the most often-used in vitro model for drug absorption. In this report, we use the largest data set of measured P(Caco-2), consisting of 157 structurally diverse compounds. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used to obtain quantitative models that discriminate higher absorption compounds from those with moderate-poorer absorption. The best LDA model has an accuracy of 90.58% and 84.21% for training and test set. The percentage of good correlation, in the virtual screening of 241 drugs with the reported values of the percentage of human intestinal absorption (HIA), was greater than 81%. In addition, multiple …
Synthesis, structural diversity, inter-conversion and reactivity of Cu(II) complexes of hydroxy-rich molecules
2002
Tetranuclear Cu(II) complexes having linear, cubane and pseudodouble-cubane cores were synthesized using hydroxy-rich molecules possessing amine and imine groups. The products were structurally characterized and were studied for their ability to oxidize catechol as well as for their inter-conversion between mono- and tetra-nuclear complexes.
Lanthanide–saccharide chemistry: synthesis and characterisation of Ce(III)–saccharide complexes
2000
A series of nine Ce(III) complexes has been synthesised with seven different monosaccharides (D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, D-mannose, L-sorbose, D-ribose and D-xylose) and two different disaccharides (D-maltose and L-lactose), and these have been characterised with various analytical, spectral, magnetic and electrochemical techniques. The NMR studies have highlighted some interesting features about the metal-ion-binding pattern of the saccharides. Some additional coordination has been proposed along with the chelating groups in the saccharide molecules, based on the shifts in 13C NMR spectra. On the other hand, solution absorption studies and solid-state magnetic susceptibilities hav…
Recognition of oxovanadium(V) species and its separation from other metal species through selective complexation by some acyclic ligands
1998
Acyclic molecules possessing –OH (phenoxo and alkoxo type) groups and imine or amine moieties have been developed to sense the specific preference for VO3+ species. These molecules also showed a capability to quantitatively separate oxovanadium(V) species from a reaction mixture containing metal species of V, Mo, U, Fe, and Mn ions in solution. A cascade quantitative separation of VO3+ followed by cis–MoO2+2 followed by trans –UO2+2 species is demonstrated from their mixture. Synthesis and structural details of oxo-species of vanadium molybdenum and uranium are also discussed. Factors influencing the complexation of these molecules towards oxo metal species of V, Mo and U are also addressed.
Irradiation effects on the OH-related infrared absorption band in synthetic wet silica.
2007
The effects of b-irradiation on the OH-related infrared (IR) absorption band in synthetic wet silica samples have been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Depending on the accumulated doses, b-irradiation affects different zones of the IR composite band at about 3670 cm 1 , assigned to the OH stretching modes of silanol groups. These modifications are independent of the original OH content. The results are discussed considering possible radiation-induced changes of the silanol bonding configuration and of the glass network. These are monitored by revealing the IR band a 2260 cm 1 , which is related to the distribution of Si–O–Si bond angle. We have identified the existence of…
Preparative and spectroscopic features of ferricenium tetrachloroferrate(III). Interconversion to diferricenium ?-oxo-bis[trichloroferrate(III)]
1985
Ferricenium tetrachloroferrate(III)(1), one of the more frequently cited ferricenium salts, has recently attracted biomedical interest because of its pronounced antineoplastic activity against Ehrlich ascites murine tumor. In this paper, synthetic methods are reinvestigated in an effort to prepare pure(1) free from a common contaminant, diferriceniumμ-oxo-bis(trichloroferrate)(3). The oxodiferrate, or mixtures of this salt with(1), can readily be converted into pure(1) under acidic conditions. Conversely, dimerization of(1) with participation of water to give the oxodiferrate(3) is brought about by recrystallization of the former from moist acetonitrile/methanol in the presence of base; thi…
Diphenoxido‐Bridged Co II and Zn II Complexes of Tripodal N 2 O 2 Ligands: Stabilisation of M II ‐Coordinated Phenoxyl Radical Species
2010
Three new tripodal ligands with an N 2 O 2 donor set, namely 2-tert-butyl-6-({(2-hydroxybenzyl)[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amino}-methyl)-4-methylphenol (H 2 L 1 ), 2-tert-butyl-6-({(2-hydroxybenzyl)[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-4-methoxy-phenol (H 2 L 2 ) and 2-tert-butyl-6-({[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-(2-hydroxybenzyl)amino}methyl)-4-methoxyphenol (H 2 L 3 ) have been synthesised. Treatment of the ligands with Co-(CH 3 CO 2 ) 2 ·4H 2 O or [Zn(H 2 O) 6 ][ClO 4 ] 2 in the presence of Et 3 N provides the corresponding Co II and Zn" complexes of composition [M II 2 (L 1 ) 2 ] [M = Co (1) (single-crystals are a solvate with the composition [Co II 2 (L 1 ) 2 ]·2CHCl 3 , i.e. 1·2CHCl 3 ); M = Zn (2)],…
Anticoagulant Activity of the Enantiomers of Acenocoumarol in Man
1978
For the mono-coumarin derivatives warfarin and phen-procoumon it was shown that in man and rats the S(−) enantiomer is several times more potent as anticoagulant than the R(+) enantiomer. These stereoselective differences in the anticoagulant potency reflect differences in the affinity for the receptor site rather than differences in the pharmacokinetics.
Substituent effects on the reaction mode between 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol derivatives and MEM chloride:synthesis and mechanistic aspects of seven-and …
2004
Abstract The synthesis of (RS)-2- or (RS)-3-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepins and (RS)-5- or (RS)-3-methoxy-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-8H-benzo-[1,4,7]-trioxecins has been developed. The mechanism of such a reaction via the boron trifluoride etherate-promoted transformation of 2-(methoxyethoxymethoxy)benzyloxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals or 2-(methoxyethoxymethoxymethyl)phenyloxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals has been proposed. Transannular versions of the reaction results in the facile ring contraction of 12-membered intermediates to the 10- and to 7-membered benzene-fused O,O-acetals. The characterization of the by-products strongly supports the mechanisms proposed.
