Partition properties have been determined for 28 monosubstituted phenols in the sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)/water system by micellar liquid chromtography (MLC), offering a useful and versatile method to estimate the hydrophobicity of compounds. The enthalpy and entropy terms of partition have also been determined from variable temperature experiments on MLC and are interpreted by such factors as molecular size and hydrogen-bond ability of the solute. The π constants (π, π
H and π
S) are determined from the experimental partition properties and applied to quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) analysis, and their versatility supported.

Cefdinir (CFDN) is an orally active, semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic and its structure is characterized by an oxyimino side chain which is able to form complexes with various metal ions. We observed that bioavailability of CFDN in dogs was reduced when it was co-administered with iron(II) salts. To assess possible effects of extraneous iron such as iron supplements on the bioavailability of CFDN, stability constants of the complexes formed between CFDN and iron(II) and iron(III) have been determined in aqueous solution by potentiometric and spectrophotometric titration methods. The stability constants were as follows : log β
110=7.53, log β
120=14.44, log β
130=18.33 for the iron(II) complexes and log β
110=10.43, log β
120=20.40 and log β
130=27.54 for the iron(III) complexes. Theoretical species distribution diagrams as a function of pH for solutions of metal (M) (0.1 mM) and ligand (L) (0.3 mM) showed that M

1L

0 were main species for the iron(III) system under neutral conditions. From these results it is believed that complex formation in the digestive tract is involved in the reduction of the bioavailability of CFDN in dogs. In addition, spectrophotometric studies indicated that iron(II) coordinated to CFDN via the thiazole-ring and deprotonated oxime nitrogen atoms and iron(III) coordinated via the amide and deprotonated oxime oxygen atoms.

Among N-protected and unprotected vinylglycines tested, N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)vinylglycine (1c) provided the highest yield of the coupling product 3c in the reaction with 1-iodo-4-methoxybenzene (2) in N, N-dimethylformamide in the presence of palladium acetate, sodium bicarbonate, and tetrabutylammonium chloride, whereas none of the desired product was obtained in the reaction with 4-methoxyphenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (7). The stereoselectivity of the reaction was reversed by employing triethylamine instead of sodium bicarbonate to furnish (Z)-3c predominantly. In the presene of sodium bicarbonate, replacement of the solvent by water improved not only the chemical yield and stereoselectivity but also the optical purity : geometrically pure (E)-3c of 96% ee was formed in a good yield.

A full account is given of the first syntheses of 6-mercaptopurine 7-N-oxide (4) and 6-methylthiopurine 7-N-oxide (5). The synthesis of 4 followed a "phenacylamine route", which started from condensation of 4, 6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine (15) with N-(4-methoxybenzyl)phenacylamine to form the phenacylaminopyrimidine derivative (11) and proceeded through conversion into the mercapto derivative, intramolecular cyclization between the NO
2 nitrogen atom and the phenacyl carbanion to give 6-mercapto-9-(4-methoxybenzyl)purine 7-N-oxide (12), and removal of the 4-methoxybenzyl group. S-Methylation of 12 and removal of the 4-methoxybenzyl group afforded 5. The location of the oxygen function in 4, 5, and 12 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of 5·H
2O, which was shown to exist in the N(7)-OH form (19). A UV spectroscopic approach suggested that the neutral species of 4 exists in H
O as the N(7)-OH tautomer (21), whereas that of 5 exists as an equilibrated mixture of the N(7)-oxide (5) and the N(7)-OH (19) tautomers. In the in vitro bioassay of antileukemic activity against murine L5178Y cells, the N-oxides 4 and 12 were found to be weakly cytotoxic.

A series of 2-[(cycloalka[b]pyridinyl)sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazoles (11) was synthesized and tested for antisecretory activity against pentagastrin-induced gastric acid secretion in rats. A novel benzimidazole derivative containing a cyclohepta[b]pyridine moiety was found to be the most potent among the congeners, which included five- to eight-membered cycloalka[b]pyridine ring systems. Some 2-[(6, 7, 8, 9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridin-9-yl)sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole analogs (14) with various substituents on the aromatic rings showed superior properties to omeprazole (1) in biological examinations in vivo. A diastereoisomer, TY-11345 (28Ba), was selected as a promising agent for further evaluation.

Starting from recently reported nonpeptidic angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonists, we have designed and prepared a new series of 6-arylimidazo[4, 5-c]pyridine derivatives. Variation of phenyl groups at the 4-, 6- or 7-position of imidazo[4, 5-c]pyridine showed that substitution at the 6-position resulted in receptor-binding activity almost as potent as that of DuP 753. This led to synthesis and evaluation of an extensive series of 6-aryl-imidazo[4, 5-c]pyridine derivatives. Some of them were 4-fold more potent in vitro than DuP 753, but only showed weak antihypertensive activity in vivo when given orally to rats.

[○!R], a heat exchanger, was utilized as a continuous starch paste supplier for a fluidized-bed granulator. Ascorbic acid was used as a model drug substance and cornstarch as the binder. To control the temperature of cooking starch paste, modes of proportional control (P control) and proportional integral deviation (PID control) were used to distinguish their respective effects on the tablet properties. It was shown that the PID control caused less variation in the temperature of cooking starch paste and, in accordance with this, that variation in disintegration time for the resultant tablets was less. there was, however, little difference in tablet hardness between these two modes of control.

Preliminary preformulation studies of a 2-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylamine derivative were investigated. The hydrochloride form showed incompatibility with the excipients used for oral dosage forms. There were several crystal forms of the free base, namely, α-anhydrate, β-anhydrate, monohydrate, and trihydrate. The trihydrate form was unstable. The degree of crystallinity of the β-anhydrate form was difficult to control. The monohydrate form was difficult to manufacture with constant quality.The serum levels of the compounds in rats were almost related to the dissolution rates in the JP 1st disintegration medium from the discs. The serum level of α-anhydrate was the lowest. However, the dissolution rates from the formulations of α-anhydrate were improved. After oral administration of the improved formulation, the serum level of α-anhydrate in beagle dogs was almost triple that after the oral administration of the capsule of the hydrochloride form.

Examination was made of the release of indomethacin from hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) matrices and the results were found to usually follow first order release kinetics. The release mechanism changed with formulation. HPMC content was the predominant controlling factor. As the HPMC content increased, drug release rate decreased, and the release mechanism gradually changed from Higuchi diffusion release to case II transport. Additives increased the release rate and enhanced Fickian diffusion. As drug content increased, release rate calculated from percent release data decreased while that calculated from mg release data increased. When indomethacin content was lower, drug release was diffusion controlled and when higher, non-Fickian transport of case II transport was apparent.Additive effects were also examined. Starch was found to most effectively maintain case II release. Complex additives containing starch were superior to any additive by itself.A multiple regression model was used to determine the relationship between response (release rate) and factors (content of HPMC and diluents), and on the basis of this model a formulation was established and found valid by agreement with data from the regression model.

The effect of the physicochemical properties of binders on the strength of granules prepared by the wet method was investigated using hydrophobic and hydrophilic powders with various polymer binders. A crushing test of granules and the amount of fine granules generated during a sieving test were carried out in order to estimate the strength of the granules. In all the powder/binder systems, the surface polarities of both powders and binders, as well as the degree of polymerization of a binder, are important factors in determining the strength of granules. That is, binders and powders whose polarities are similar are capable of producing strong granules. In some systems, the strength of granules increased with the degree of polymerization of the polymer binders.

However, since the porphyrins and metalloporphyrins show the characteristic absorption spectra in the visible region, the fluorescence of hydroxybenzoate products was disturbed by the colors. To separate the hydroxybenzoates from the colored solute, the products were extracted into ether under an acidic condition. The hydroxybenzoates were extracted thoroughly into the ether layer from an aqueous layer of less than pH 3 ; the residue was redissolved in phosphate buffer, pH 7.5; the solution was used to determine the rate constants. The rate constants for anionic porphyrins, TPPS, T(5-ST)P, were in the order of 10

Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α (rHuTNF) was entrapped in liposomes consisting of Egg phosphatidylcholine (EggPC) alone, EggPC-egg phosphatidic acid (EggPA) or EggPC-egg phosphatidylglycerol (EggPG). These liposomes, stored in vials, were stable for a month at 4°C. The rHuTNF release from the liposomes were examined in rat plasma and phosphate buffered saline (PBS). rHuTNF was released from the liposomes containing EggPA in rat plasma. The release of rHuTNF was inhibited by EDTA and was induced in PBS containing CaCl
2, indicating that this release is induced by Ca
2+ ion in the plasma. The release of rHuTNF was promoted by an increase of the EggPA content.In conclusion, we could obtain stable liposomes in a vial and this liposome could immediately release rHuTNF in the rat plasma. Furthermore we were able to control the release rate of rHuTNF from these liposomes.

In a recent note to this journal Moriguchi et al. compared the reliability of several methods for calculating log P octanol/water from structure. The structures chosen were 22 drugs which Rekker and Manhold had analyzed earlier. On the basis of these values a statistical analysis indicated that the reliability of the methods decreased in the order : Moriguchi, Hansch, Rekker and Suzuki. The fact that regression equations relating measured to calculated values produced such unreasonably high deviations (s=0.764 to 1.240) and poor correlation coefficients (0.701 to 0.901) should have alerted the authors that some of the measured log P value were in error. Three major errors are apparent, and these affect the statistics to such an extent that the comparisons are not valid.

Lactose and ascorbic acid powders were granulated using corn or potato starch pastes. Starch pastes were cooked at different temperatures to obtain pastes of different degreees of gelatinization. The granules obtained were compressed into tablets and the hardness and disintegration time were examined. The gelatinization degree of starch paste was found to be closely related to the tablet properties, especially its disintegration time. An increase in gelatinization degree of the paste prolonged the disintegration time of the resultant tablets, although tablet hardness did not change. The relation between the gelatinzation degree of starch paste and tablet properties is discussed.

Nitrosation of α, α'-dianions produced from ketones using a couple of bases was carried out with tert-butyl nitrite(tert-BuONO) in ether, and then two regioisomers of oximes(but not acetone)were obtained simultaneously. The ratio of these regioisomers was remarkably reversed by the addition of hexamethylphosphoric triamide(HMPA).

Two bioactive novel triterpene glycosides named hovenidulciosides A
1 and A
2 have been isolated from a Chinese natural medicine, Hoveniae Semen Seu Fructus, the seeds and fruit of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. (Rhamnaceae). The absolute stereostructures of hovenidulciosides A
1 and A
2 with a migrated 16, 17-seco-dammarane skeleton have been determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence which included the X-ray crystallographic analysis of the p-bromobenzoate of their common aglycone, hovenidulcigenin A. Hovenidulciosides A
1 and A
2 exhibited inhibitory activity on the histamine release from rat mast cells induced by compound 48/80 or calcium ionophore A-23187.
