    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.

    In connection with studies of nucleoside analogs, the interactions of Schiff bases with HgCl2, PdCl2, and other metal halides (MgCl2, CaCl2, BaCl2, SrCl2, ZnCl2, and CdCl2) in dimethyl sulfoxide were examined at room temperature using time-dependent electron spin resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Pteridine or theophylline derivatives were obtained from the reaction of Schiff bases with HgCl2 or PdCl2 via radical or ionic intermediates. On the other hand, in the cases of other metal halides, the products could not be isolated. This reaction may be a useful tool for the preparation of nucleoside analogs.

    The distribution of exogenous ubiquinone-10 in canine plasma was examined using deuterium-labeled ubiquinone-10 in conjunction with a computerized gas chromatographmass spectrometry system. Electron transport enzymes in canine leucocytes were also studied. An increase in the plasma level of exogenous ubiquinone-10 did not affect the level of endogenous ubiquinone-10, and it was reflected in increased activities of the electron transport enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase Co Q reductase, succinate cytochrome c reductase and succinate oxidase) in leucocytes.

    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 molecular orbital study of molecular interactions between formic acid and ammonia was performed using the ab initio LCAO-SCF-MO method. As primitive functions, the STO-3G basis set, in which valence properties are comparable to those of the STO set, was used. The interaction energies between NH4+ and HCOO-, between NH4+ and HCOOH, between NH3 and HCOO-, and between NH3 and HCOOH were calculated. For the NH4+-HCOO- complex, the structure containing two hydrogen bonds and in which the C2v axis of NH4+ coincides with that of HCOO- was the most stable. For the complex NH4+-HCOOH, the structure in which the NH bond of NH4+ forms a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl oxygen was more stable. For the complex of NH3 and HCOO-, O of HCOO- and the NH bond of NH3 form a linear hydrogen bond as the most stable structure. For the NH3-HCOOH complex, the structure in which the nitrogen lone pair of NH3 forms a linear hydrogen bond with the OH bond of HCOOH was the most stable. Those four structures are discussed in connection with the interaction between lysine and glutamate (or aspartate), and the hydrolysis of esters, taking account of the interaction energies between HCOOH and H2O and between HCOO- and H2O, and the stabilities in vacuum and in nonpolar solvents.

    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 reaction of glycosyl isothiocyanates (1a, b, c) with anthranilic acid gave corresponding glycosyl thioquinazolines (3a, b, c) in the presence of zinc chloride in excellent yields. The reaction performed in the absence of zinc chloride afforded the intermediate glycosyl thioureides (2a, b) along with the cyclized compounds. However, similar treatment of 1a with 2-amino-3-carboethoxypyridine did not give the corresponding glycosyl pyridopyrimidine (5a), but glycosyl thioureide (4a) was obtained in good yield. Attempted ring closure of 4a under neutral or acidic conditions failed. Similar reactions of 1a, b, and c with 3-aminopyrazole-4-carboxylic acid in the presence of zinc chloride afforded corresponding pyrazolo [4, 3-e] pyrimidine glycosides (6a, b and c) in fair yields.

    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.

This reaction is considered to proceed by ring transformation of an intermediate of the Smiles rearrangement. Some of these pyridone derivatives showed strong biological activities as analgesic and antiinflammatory agents.

    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.

    Coprecipitates of sulfamethizole-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sulfisoxazole-PVP were prepared at various ratios. The dissolution rates of the drugs in the coprecipitates were greater when the ratio of drug to PVP was smaller. The dissolution rate of sulfamethizole in the coprecipitate was greater when PVP of smaller molecular weight was used. Dissolution patterns were different for sulfamethizole-PVP coprecipitate and sulfisoxazole-PVP coprecipitate ; recrystallization of the drug was observed following the dissolution of sulfisoxazole-PVP coprecipitate, whereas no recrystallization was found in the dissolution of sulfamethizole-PVP coprecipitate. A new dissolution model for coprecipitate is proposed.

    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.

    Schiff bases (3, 4) were obtained by condensation of D-threo-2-amino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1, 3-propanediol (2) with salicylaldehyde and acetylacetone. Copper (II) chelates (5 and 6) were synthesized from 3 and 4, respectively, and their chemical structures were determined by elemental analysis, molecular weight measurement, and infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. From the temperature dependence of their magnetic susceptibilities, 5, 6 and the phenylcarbamate (7) derived from 5 were inferred to be tetramers having cubane-type structures. The phenylcarbamate (9) derived from 6 was presumed to have a dimeric structure.

    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 pKa 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/KCH3*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 σpara (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 (D2O) 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, Yb3+, 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-H3PO4 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.
