    The relation of absorption sites of sulfonamides administered orally in uncoated tablets to their solubilities and dissolution rates was studied. Eight sulfonamides, sulfisomidine, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfamethizole, sulfamethoxazole, sulfisoxazole, sulfamonomethoxine, sulfaphenazole and sulfadimethoxine, were tested to determine their solubilities, dissolution rates and absorption rates following oral administration to humans. As a marker of gastric emptying time, the lag time of the urinary excretion of total salicylate was determined after the concurrent administration of enteric tablets of aspirin. A new parameter, RAAS (Relative Amount Absorbed in the Stomach) is proposed in order to represent the relative amount absorbed in the stomach region. RAAS values showed good correlations with the solubilities and dissolution rates of sulfonamides determined by means of the Sartorius solubility simulator with continuous pH change under non-sink conditions. It was concluded that : 1) The critical value of the solubility which distinguishes drugs according to their absorption sites, stomach or intestine, is about 3 mg/ml in 0.1 N HCl at 37° when 1 g of the drug is administered to humans orally with 200 ml of water after overnight fasting. 2) A drug having a solubility larger than the critical value can reasonably be tested for dissolution rate in an acidic medium, and a drug having a solubility less than the critical value should be tested under neutral conditions after pretreatment in acidic conditions.

    Some derivatives of 6-chloro-5-sulfamoyl-and 6-chloro-3-sulfamoylanthranilic acids, which have a chlorine atom and a sulfamoyl group ortho and meta to the carboxy group, respectively, were synthesized and the diuretic activities of the two positional isomers were compared. The presence of a chlorine atom ortho to the carboxy group, which enhanced the hypoglycemic activity of anthranilic acid derivatives, had no effect on the diuretic activity of sulfamoylanthranilic acid derivatives. The diuretic activity of the 6-chloro-3-sulfamoylanthranilic acid derivatives was greater than that of the 6-chloro-5-sulfamoyl ones.

    The effect of concomitant administration of salicylate on the pharmacokinetics of five sulfonamides in rats was studied. Changes in the bolld concentration profiles of sulfonamides at the elimination phase due to salicylate treatment were classified into three types : Type I-little change was observed (sulfanilamide) ; Type II-the blood concentration was decreased, but the disposition rate constant, kβ, was hardly influenced (sulfadiazine and sulfisoxazole) ; Type III-the value of kβ decreased (sulfamethoxazole and sulfathiazole). An intravenous administration of salicylate after administration of sulfamethoxazole brought about a sudden decrease in the blood concentration of sulfamethoxazole. The effects of salicylate treatment on the distribution of sulfamethoxazole and sulfadiazine were studied employing a two-compartment open model. Their distribution to the tissue compartment of the model was increased by the salicylate treatment. The effect of salicylate was interpreted on the basis of a redistributional interaction of sulfonamides with salicylate.

    The fragmentation of 58 N-trimethylsilyl amino acid trimethylsilyl esters, including those of α-, β-, γ-, and α-methyl-amino acids and related compounds, upon electron impact was investigated to provide a spectral basis for further studies of physiological samples, and to look into the possibility of selective identification and ultramicrodetermination of amino acids by mass fragmentography. It was found that the ion at m/e 73 or m/e (M-117) is the base peak common to most of the amino acids. The results obtained in this study suggest that this derivative can be used for the ultramicrodetermination and selective identification of amino acids by mass fragmentography because this derivative produces characteristic ions such as m/e (M-117), (M-15), 174, 218 and 232. The fragmentations of N-trimethylsilyl n-butyl esters and N-trimethylsiyl l-methyl esters of six amino acids were also studied.

    dl-Neohydroxyaspergillic acid (I), the l-isomer of which has been isolated from Aspergillus flavus, was synthesized from DL-leucine anhydride. By treatment of 2-chloro-3, 6-diisobutylpyrazine 4-oxide (II) with acetic anhydride, an acetoxyl group was introduced into the isobutyl group. Deoxygenation of the N-oxide group at the 4-position of a 2-hydroxypyrazine 1, 4-dioxide derivative (XII), prepared by hydrolysis of a 2-chloro-pyrazine 1, 4-dioxide derivative (XI), was achieved using titanium (III) chloride to afford I.

    The lung accumulation and permeation of some antibiotics were studied using an isolated blood-perfused rat lung preparation with artificial ventilation and the intact lung of anesthetized rats in vivo. Leucomycin A3 and erythromycin, which have been widely used for the treatment of pulmonary infections, were accumulated well in the lung, while tetracycline and chloramphenicol did not show specific accumulation. The specific accumulation of leucomycin A3 and erythromycin is probably due to the fact that both drugs have an amino group and a strongly lipophilic group. In the case of intratracheal administration in the perfused lung, the transport of these antibiotics from alveoli to the blood was shown to be dependent on their lipid solubility, and the drug distribution in the lung was found to be similar to that from the perfusate in the equilibrium state. However, in the in vivo distribution study, marked accumulation of erythromycin after intratracheal administration was observed as compared with intravenous administration, whereas, the distribution of leucomycin A3 was not greatly affected by the route of administration. On the basis of these experimental findings, drug delivery systems are discussed in relation to the effective distribution of drugs in the lung.

    1, 3-Dialkyl-6-hydrazinouracils (I) reacted with alkyl and acyl isothiocyanates to yield 5, 7-dialkyl-3-alkyl (or acyl) aminopyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine-4, 6 (5H, 7H)-diones (II). This reaction was investigated in detail and it was found that the first product was a 6-[4-alkyl (or acyl) thiosemicarbazido] uracil (IV), which cyclized to II through two pathways. Acylation of II afforded the corresponding 2-acyl derivatives. Treatment of 1, 3-diethyl-6-hydrazinouracil (Ia) with phosgeneimmonium chloride afforded 5, 7-diethyl-3-dimethylamino [3, 4-d] pyrimidine-4, 6 (5H, 7H)-dione (X).

    The effects of six nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phenylbutazone, flufenamic acid, salicylic acid, indomethacin, flurbiprofen, and naproxen, on the binding of sulfonamides to bovine serum albumin were examined using the equilibrium dialysis method at pH 7.4 and 37°. Lineweaver-Burk plots suggested that these anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit the binding of sulfonamides competitively. Anti-inflammatory drugs could be ranked in the following order of diminishing ability to inhibit the binding of sulfonamides to bovine serum albumin : phenylbutazone, flufenamic acid, salicylic acid, indomethacin, flurbiprofen, and naproxen ; the inhibitory activities of the first three drugs were especially high. Furthermore, the competitive binding of sulfisoxazole and salicylic acid was studied in detail on the basis of a theoretical equation. The data for the inhibition of the binding of sulfisoxazole by salicylic acid satisfied the equation well, confirming that this theoretical equation is suitable to describe such competitive binding phenomena.

    Azo dyes with a hydroxylated α-naphthyl group form 1 : 1 complexes with cyclodextrin. The nature of the substituent, the bulkiness of the molecule, the change of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral pattern of cyclodextrin and the signs of the maxima in circular dicroism (CD) spectra indicate the specific orientation and freedom of motion in the cavity of the guest molecules after inclusion. For example, in orange II-β-cyclodextrin complex, the 1H NMR spectrum of β-cyclodextrin rules out inclusion from the benzenesulfonate side of orange II. The CD spectrum suggests inclusion from the short molecular axis side and tight fitting with β-cyclodextrin. The azo dyes investigated are longer than the depth of the cavity of cyclodextrin. Nevertheless, the inclusion shifts of the guest molecules are not localized at one side of the molecule. The whole H2O structure around the azo dye is probably broken down upon inclusion, or the included azo group produces inclusion shifts at all the ring protons.

Among these compounds (3), 11β, 17α-dihydroxy-21-morpholinopregna-1, 4-diene-3, 20-dione-21-thione (3a) and 11β, 17α-dihydroxy-21-morpholinopregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione-21-thione (3b) showed potent anti-inflammatory activities comparable to or a little less than those of the parent compounds, prednisolone and hydrocortisone, respectively, in the carrageenin edema test in rats. 3a also showed potent activity in the granuloma pouch test in rats but much less activity in the cotton pellet test in rats. These results suggest that 3a might be more active against acute or subacute inflammation than against chronic inflammation.

    The contribution of the stationary layer to the absorption of benzoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol and p-aminoethylbenzoate from the gills of goldfish was estimated by kinetic analysis of the relationship between perfused flow to the gills and the drug absorption rate. The changes in the absorption rate constant increased as the perfusion velocity increased. A double combination model consisting of an aqueous diffusion layer in the perfusing solution and the diffusion layer on the gill membranes was used to analyze drug absorption from the membranes. Even though the molecular weights of these drugs are similar, there were variations in the permeability coefficients of the drugs through the aqueous diffusion layers, suggesting that drug absorption from the gills cannot be explained simply in terms of a static diffusion layer in the perfusing solution.

    Transition temperatures between coexisting (solid-smectic, solid-cholesteric, smectic-cholesteric and cholesteric-isotropic liquid phases) of cholesteryl myristate (ChM) and cholesteryl palmitate (ChP) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as polarized light microscopy, in the presence and absence of n-heptane, n-octane and n-nonane as solutes. The polymorphism of ChM and ChP was maintained in spite of the addition of ca. 0.06 molar ratio of alkanes, although the distinction between coexisting phases decreased in enthalpy and entropy terms, resulting in the disappearance of liquid crystal phases (smectic and cholesteric phases). The addition of alkanes markedly depressed the transition temperatures ; this could be described quantitatively by thermodynamic analysis, taking into consideration the partition of alkanes between coexisting phases. The partition coefficients and the molar transition excess enthalpies of alkanes on mixing with ChM and ChP were calculated by simulation. The partition coefficients obtained from the DSC study agreed reasonably well with those previously determined by gas-liquid chromatography.

    The pH-solubility profiles of four basic drugs were studied at 37°. The solubility of papaverine hydrochloride in acetate buffer showed a typical pH-profile, which increased with decrease in pH. On the other hand, the pH-solubility profile of the hydrochloride in HCl-sodium acetate buffer was not as simple as that in acetate buffer, showing as solubility maximum at approximately 3.7. Similar pH-profiles of solubility were observed for trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride, isoxsuprine hydrochloride, and oxyphencyclimine hydrochloride. The decrease in the solubility of these drugs at more acidic pH values could be rationalized on the basis of the common ion effect. The dissolution behavior of the free bases and that of the hydrochloride salts of papaverine, trihexyphenidyl, and isoxsuprine were compared in dilute hydrochloric acid solutions, in the pH range from 1.0 to 1.8. It was confirmed that a much higher solution concentration and dissolution rate could be obtained using the free bases than from the hydrochloride salts in the pH range of the stomach (pH 1.0-1.2 for papaverine, and pH 1.2-1.4 for trihexyphenidyl and isoxsuprine) due to the common ion effect. It is suggested that salt formation does not always result in an enhancement of solubility characteristics.

    As part of a search for new antispasmodic agents, we have synthesized 1-, 2-, and 3-diarylmethylenequinolizidine quaternary ammonium salts (4-15), which can be regarded as conformationally rigid derivatives of diphemanil methylsulfate (1) or timepidium bromide (2). The Grignard reaction of ethoxycarbonylquinolizidines (16, 21, and 30) with phenyllithium or 2-thienylmagnesiumbromide, followed by dehydration, afforded diarylmethylenequinolizidines (19, 20, 24, 25, 33, and 34). Quaternization of the 1-substituted derivatives (19 and 20) with methyl bromide afforded only the cis methobromides (4 and 6). On similar treatment, the 2-substituted derivatives (24 and 25) each afforded two isomeric methobromides, the trans (8a and 9a) and cis (8b and 9b), and the 3-substituted derivatives also afforded trans (12a and 13a) and cis methobromides (12b and 13b). The stereochemistry of these methobromides was confirmed by thermal isomerization experiments and the chemical shifts of N+-methyl signals in the 1H-and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The quaternary ammonium salts (4-15) exhibited more potent anticholinergic activity than 1 and 2, and the activities of several compounds (8, 9, and 13) were equal to or greater than that of atropine. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.

    The sodium salts of amino acid borane complexes (1) produced from equimolar amount of NaBH4 and optically active α-amino acids in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature reduced various ketones to the corresponding optically active alcohols (2-62% optical yield). Sodium prolinate borane complex (2) gave the best results. Asymmetric reduction of (3) with sodium L-prolinate borane complex (2) followed by catalytic hydrogenolysis of benzyl and carbobenzoxy groups gave (4), a cardiotonic agent, in 62% optical yield.

    Anodic oxidation of cycloserine and its acetylderivatives was studied at a glassycarbon electrode in alkaline aqueous buffer solution. On electrolysis, cycloserine consumed one Faraday per mol and yielded about 50% serine, 10% ammonia and a small amount of resinous products. A possible reaction scheme for the anodic oxidation of cycloserine is proposed.

    A formal synthesis of the Ipecac alkaloid emetine has been achieved in terms of the synthesis of the lactam ester 12 from ethyl dl-trans-5-ethyl-2-oxo-4-piperidineacetate (4). The steps involved are conversion of 4 into the lactim ether 5 or 6, N-alkylation of 5 or 6 with 3, 4-dimethoxyphenacyl bromide, and NaBH4 reduction of the resulting lactam ketone 7, followed by catalytic hydrogenolysis.

    It was found that the ethoxycarbonyl derivatives of o-acylphenols were reduced to the corresponding o-alkylphenols by sodium borohydride under mild conditions ; the use of 3 molar equivalents of sodium borohydride was sufficient for this reduction. Various kinds of o-acylphenols (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27) were reduced to the corresponding o-alkylphenols (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 26 and 28, respectively) in high yield by this method. o-acetylphenyl acetate (29) afforded o-ethylphenol (8) in better yield with sodium borohydride than ethyl o-acetylphenylcarbonate, but o-acetyl-phenyl p-toluenesulfonate (30) did not give 8.

    The protected tetrasaccharide (6) was synthesized in 77% yield by condensation of 1, 6-anhydro-2, 2', 3, 4', 6'-penta-O-benzyl-β-lactose (4) with the oxazoline derivative of lacto-N-biose I (5). The protecting groups of 6 were removed by the following series of reaction to provide lacto-N-tetraose (10) : debenzylation, acetylation, acetolysis, and de-O-acetylation. The synthetic product (10) was crystallized from aqueols ethanol as white needles, mp 225-228°, [α]21D+27° (4 min)→+21.3° (3 hr) (c=0.45, H2O). The homogeneity and the mobility of 10 were confirmed by the gel permeation chromatography using Bio-Gel P-4 column. The specific rotation and IR spectrum of 10 were similar to those of the natural material reported by Kuhn, Gauhe, and Baer [Chem. Ber., 86, 827 (1953)].
