This investigation was carried out in an attempt to ascertain whether all narcotic analgesics produce the Straub tail reaction (STR), and whether the morphine-induced STR could be depressed by centrally acting muscle relaxants. Morphine, oxycodone and levorphanol elicited the STR dose-dependently but codeine, pethidine and pentazocine gave only slight STR. The peak time of the STR was 30 min after the administration of morphine. Intracerebral injection of morphine evoked the STR, but not markedly. Naloxone and pentazocine depressed the morphine-induced STR considerably. Chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, oxazepam, carisoprodol, chlormezanone, chlorzoxazone, meprobamate, orphenadrine, chlorpromazine, perphenazine and haloperidol also reduced the morphine-induced STR markedly. The morphine-induced STR was inhibited noticeably by intracerebral or systemic injection of baclofen and difenamizole. The intracerebral dose of baclofen required for this inhibition was as low as approximately one-thousandth of that by systemic administration. These findings suggest that the morphine-induced STR is positively depressed by centrally acting muscle relaxants.

The effects of six indole alkaloids on parasympathetic ganglionic transmission were studied in a preparation of the guinea pig urinary bladder in situ. The effect of hirsutine on spontaneous movement of the organ was also examined. Among these alkaloids, gardneramine and hirsutine most potently inhibited the contraction of the urinary bladder induced by electrical stimulation of the pelvic nerves. Their potency was about one-half of that of hexamethonium. The effect of gardneramine was of short duration. Both alkaloids depressed the contraction induced by intraarterial dimethylphenylpiperazinium, with no antagonizing action to the acetylcholine-induced contraction. Hirsutine showed a local anesthetic action in the isolated frog sciatic nerve preparation, while other alkaloids had only a weak effect. Hirsutine, isorhynchophylline, and gardnerine elevated the tone of the spontaneous movement of the organ and augmented its amplitude. The stimulating action of hirsutine was not affected by pretreatment with tetrodotoxin, atropine, diphenhydramine, or hexamethonium.

The drug was well absorbed from the intestinal tract, and the bulk of it was excreted in the urine and feces. Biliary excretion was significant, and the existence of enterohepatic circulation was considered likely. After intravenous injection, elimination of radioactivity from the blood and various tissues, except for fat, was rapid for 2 hr, then became slower. Elimination of unchanged drug from the blood was very fast. Repeated oral doses did not changed the excretion and distribution features as compared to a single oral dose. Significant accumulation of radioactivity was not caused by repeated doses of
14C-labeled perisoxal. Three oxidized metabolites, p-hydroxyperisoxal, m-hydroxyperisoxal and 4-hydroxyperisoxal, were identified. Excretion of hydroxyperisoxals in the urine (free and conjugates) was greater than that of perisoxal itself.

The effects of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), sodium arginate (SA), methylcellulose (MC) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on the intestinal absorption of acetaminophen in situ were investigated in rats. Among the macromolecular additives, only PVP exhibited an inhibitory effect on the absorption of the drug. Studies in vitro (solubility and dialysis experiments) showed that there is an interaction between acetaminophen and PVP. The inhibitory effect of PVP on the intestinal absorption of acetaminophen was suppressed by the addition of urea. Dialysis data showed that urea tends to reduce the binding between acetaminophen and PVP.

A method was established by which glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid present in plasma can be extracted with methanol and then separated and determined quantitatively within 10 min by means of high-speed liquid chromatography. Using this method, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid added to the plasma were recovered to satisfactory extents. An in situ recirculating perfusion technique showed that G is absorbed in rat small intestine in an apparent first-order process. There was no detectable amount of glycyrrhetinic acid in the blood after bolus injection of glycyrrhizin into the portal vein, althouth glycyrrhetinic acid was present in a detectable amount in the blood after oral administration. Since it is water-soluble and has a high molecular weight, glycyrrhizin is probably absorbed in the small intestine in the form of glycyrrhetinic acid. With the decline of glycyrrhetinic acid in the blood, there was a rise in the blood level of a substance which exhibited the same chromatographic behavior as glycyrrhizin. This substance appears to be a glucuronic acid conjugate formed as a metabolite of glycyrrhetinic acid, although it is not clear whether it is a mono-or diglucuronic acid conjugate or a mixture of the two. Glycyrrhizin injected into the portal vein was eliminated from the blood only slowly.

The drug absorption characteristics of a lipid-containing oral dosage form were studied in human subjects and rats. Diazepam was employed as a model drug and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) was used as a model lipid. When administered orally to four human subjects, there was no significant difference between diazepam soft capsules and tablets in the average plasma levels of the drug, due to a large intersubject variation. However, when administered to an individual subject repeatedly, the soft capsules showed the tendency of faster drug absorption and superior reproducibility in the plasma level-time curve, suggesting a more uniform drug absorption rate compared with the tablets. The mechanism of this effect was further investigated in the rat model dosing a small amount (2μl/rat) of MCT solution or aqueous suspension. After oral administration, the retention of diazepam in the small intestine was quite small compared with that in the stomach, suggesting the importance of the gastric disappearance rate in drug absorption from these preparations. The gastric drug disappearance rate of MCT solution was faster and significantly less variable than that of the aqueous suspension, which was considered to be the main cause of the more uniform drug absorption rate of the oral diazepam-MCT preparations. It is suggested that diazepam, though it is a weak base, was emptied from the stomach mostly while retained in the lipid, and thus was affected by the movement of MCT in the GI tract.

The size reduction of solid drugs was attempted utilizing the freeze-drying of a two-component system comprising a solute and a solvent. It was found that the concentration of the drug to be frozen greatly influenced the average particle size of the resulting powder. The component of a system which forms a hydrate or a solvate produced more finely divided particles than did that of a simple eutectic system. This can be attributed to the effect of the peritectic reaction in the process. As the griseofulvin and benzene system gives a phase diagram with an incongruent melting point and forms a 1 : 2 solvate, the average particle size of the freeze-dried powder could be reduced to the submicron level. On the addition of surfactants to this system, micronized particles were obtained and the dissolution rate of griseofulvin was improved considerably.

An electrochemical detector combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-ECD) was applied to the analysis of tocopherols (TP), ubiquinones (UQ) and phylloquinone (PQ). n-Hexane extracts of these substances from blood were injected into a reversed-phase column (Nucleosil C-18). The minimum detection limits were 50, 150-200 and 100 pg for TP, UQ and PQ, respectively. Blood levels of these substances were in good agreement with those obtained by other methods. The HPLC-ECD method is a simple, sensitive and relatively rapid method, and should be useful for the determination of α-tocopherol, ubiquinone-10 and PQ in biological materials.

2-Arylbenzimidazole and 5-substituted derivatives were synthesized by condensation at p-substituted-o-phenylene nitrogens with 2- or 4-picoline in the presence of sulfur or with a carboxylic acid group in the presence of polyphosphoric acid. Imidazole cyclizations from N'-(o, m or p-substituted-phenyl) arylamidines were also investigated, using sodium hypochlorite to react with N-arylamidines at pH 3 to afford the corresponding imino chlorides in higher yields. The chlorides were heated with an excess of sodium carbonate in situ for cyclization to an imidazole. Their cyclizing efficiencies to benzimidazoles decreased in correlation with the order of pK
a values due to the dissociation of the amidino site in alkaline aqueous buffers. The acidities of 7-substituted-2-arylbenzimidazoles formed by ring closure at the position ortho to the substituent on the aniline ring in N'-(m-substituted-phenyl) arylamidines and those of compounds formed by the ring closure of N'-(o-substituted-phenyl)-arylamidines fitted the Taft equation for which steric hindrances are negligible (log K/K
CH3=ρ
*σ
*). On the other hand, the acidities of 5-substituted-2-arylbenzimidazoles formed by ring closure at the position para to the substituent on the aniline ring in N'-(m-substituted-phenyl) arylamidines, by ring closure of N'-(p-substituted-phenyl) arylamidines and by ring closure of p-substituted-o-phenylene diamines with a carboxylic acid group fitted the Hammett equation using σ
para (p=1.3).

The interaction of chlorpromazine-HCl with lecithin vesicles was investigated by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Signal broadening of the drug induced by its addition to a vesicle-water (D
2O) solution indicated the incorporation of the drug into the vesicle membrane. In the absence of the drug, two resolved signals arising from the carbonyl carbons of the external and internal layers of the vesicle were observed with 0.3 ppm shift difference, but the difference became almost undetectable on addition of the drug. This phenomenon suggests that the incorporated chlorpromazine was located near the carbonyl carbons in the vesicle membrane. Displacement of a trivalent cation from the membrane surface by chlorpromazine-HCl was confirmed by the observation that the upfield shift of exterior choline methyl carbons initially induced by the addition of a shift reagent, Yb
3+, to the vesicle solution was canceled out when a sufficient amount of the drug was added to the sample solution.

Rapid, simple and sensitive detection of carbohydrates on thin layer plates was achieved by utilizing o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid-H
3PO
4 reagent, which was found to be stable in solution. This method facilitated the simultaneous fluorometric and colorimetric detection of carbohydrates with excellent sensitivity. This method was also applied for the determination of sugars using a scanning fluorophotometer.

Controlled potential electrolysis of anthracene at a glassy carbon anode in acetonitrile containing an excess of triethylphosphite and subsequent treatment of the product with sodium iodide resulted in the formation of 9, 10-bis (diethylphosphonyl)-9, 10-dihydroanthracene. Anodic phosphonylation was also performed on 4'-methoxybenzanilide to give 2'-diethylphosphonyl-4'-methoxybenzanilide.

Different from the hitherto developed direct electrolysis of water, this new method generates hydrogen gas from water easily, smoothly and immediately through an indirect processes, i.e. so-called double pre-catalytic decomposition consisting of two pre-catalytic processes. One of them consists of a metal-pile or alloyed catalyzer and the other of an ammoniac aqueous solution of metallic ammonium complex salts or hydroxides. These two pre-catalytic agents generate hydrogen gas from water by mutual contact reaction, producing aside ammine coordinate compounds from the ammonium complex salts or hydroxides in a redox-cyclic system introducing the environmental thermal energy from the outside atmosphere. These catalyzers are effectively useful for several days after once settled and only by supplying the decomposed amount of water from outside.
