    A series of cis-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydrobenzo[b]acronycine diacid hemiesters and dicarbamates were prepared by acylation of cis-1,2-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-3,3,14-trimethyl-1,2,3,14-tetrahydro-7H-benzo[b]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one. The cytotoxicity of the dicarbamates depended on the steric hindrance of the esterifying groups at positions 1 and 2. Diacid hemiesters displayed significant in vitro cytotoxic activities and induced cell cycle perturbations similar to those obtained with cis-1,2-diacetoxy-1,2-dihydrobenzo[b]acronycine (S23906-1) currently under preclinical development. cis-1-Acetoxy-2-hemiglutaryloxy-1,2-dihydrobenzo[b]acronycine was the most promizing compound of the series, inducing complete inhibition of tumor growth when tested against C38 colon adenocarcinoma implanted in mice.

    The release properties of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (PPA) from ethylcellulose (EC) matrix granules prepared by an extrusion granulation method were examined. The release process could be divided into two parts; the first and second stages were analyzed by applying square-root time law and cube-root law equations, respectively. The validity of the treatments was confirmed by the fitness of a simulation curve with the measured curve. In the first stage, PPA was released from the gel layer of swollen EC in the matrix granules. In the second stage, the drug existing below the gel layer dissolved and was released through the gel layer. The effect of the binder solution on the release from EC matrix granules was also examined. The binder solutions were prepared from various EC and ethanol (EtOH) concentrations. The media changed from a good solvent to a poor solvent with decreasing EtOH concentration. The matrix structure changed from loose to compact with increasing EC concentration. The preferable EtOH concentration region was observed when the release process was easily predictable. The time and release ratio at the connection point of the simulation curves were also examined to determine the validity of the analysis.

    The thermodynamic parameters of the charge transfer complex between chloranilic acid and haloperidol were studied. Haloperidol in pure form and in dosage form was assayed in this study. The method was based on charge transfer complex formation between the drug, which acted as an n-donor, and chloranilic acid, which acted as a π acceptor in a non aqueous solvent. The complex stoichiometry was found to be 1 : 2 (haloperidol : chloranilic acid) with the maximum absorption band at a wavelength of 576 nm. The complex obeyed Beer's law. The thermodynamic parameters investigated included stability constant, molar absorptivity, free energy change, enthalpy, and entropy. The method was successfully applied in the analysis of commercially available haloperidol tablets without interference from its excipients, with good precision and reproducibility, compared with the official assay method (non aqueous titration) described for haloperidol in the compendium.

Their structures were established by IR, 1H-, 13C- and 31P-NMR spectral data. The mass spectral data were given for compounds 9, 12 and 15. The title compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and antifungal activity on Aspergillus niger and Helminthosporium oryzae. Most of the compounds possess significant activity.

    Gas chromatographic separations of the stereoisomers of menthol derivatives, important intermediates in the synthesis of physiologically active natural products, were carried out on several substituted β-cyclodextrin (CD) columns, including per-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin (PME-β-CD), heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD (DIAC-6-TBDS-β-CD), and heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD (DIME-6-TBDS-β-CD) as chiral stationary phases (CSPs). With the DIME-6-TBDS-β-CD column, a separation of the Z- and E-isomers of methylidenementhol was accomplished; no separation was achieved with the other columns. The stereoisomers of methylidenementhol and the corresponding tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ether were separated on both the β-CD and the heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TME-β-CD) columns by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a mobile phase involving acetonitrile and H2O. For the separation of the Z- and E-isomers of methylidenementhol, the TME-β-CD column was superior. In contrast, the β-CD column was preferable in the case of the corresponding TBS ether.

    A new series of N-substituted bis-(tetrahydropapaverine) ring systems have been synthesised in expectation of better antispasmodic activity in comparison with papaverine. The synthesis of the targeted heterocycles is described along with a discussion of their structure activity relationship. The general synthetic methods of bis-(tetrahydropapaverine) analogues involve tetrahydropapaverine, various piperazines, diisocyanates and diisothiocyanates as starting materials. Pharmacological evaluation involves the in vitro antispasmodic activity on a freshly removed guinea pig ileum using a force displacement transducer amplifier connected to a physiograph. Among the analogues synthesized in the present study, N,N′-bis-[2-carbamoyl-1-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl]piperazine (22), was found to be the most potent muscle relaxant (IC50: 0.31 μM).

    The purpose of this study was to improve the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets manufactured by a dusting method. The effects of sugar-coating formulations, which were the sugar-coating suspension formulations and the dusting powder formulations, on impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets were investigated. Impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets was measured by the friability test. We found that the dusting powder formulation was a control factor in impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets manufactured by the dusting method. The dusting method using dusting powder containing 20% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC, Avicel PH-F20) was a useful method for improvement of the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets. The mechanism of improvement of impact toughness was that MCC in the subcoating layer resulted in a tight bond between the subcoating layer and the smoothing layer and prevented separation of the two layers on impact, because MCC improved the wettability of the subcoating layer, increased the surface roughness of the subcoating layer, and played the role of a binder between the two layers. We confirmed that the MCC between the subcoating layer and the smoothing layer acts to prevent separation of the two layers by impact. We demonstrated that MCC is a suitable material for sugar-coating in order to improve the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets.

    The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of moisture on the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets manufactured by the dusting method. We demonstrated that moisture plays an important role in the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets. Moisturizing the sugar-coating layer resulted in enhancement of impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets, while reducing moisture in the sugar-coating layer resulted in weakening of the impact toughness. This was due to the characteristics of sucrose, the main ingredient of the sugar-coating layer, which is a soft and non-fragile material at high moisture levels, but hard and fragile at low moisture levels. We also demonstrated that friability as an indicator of impact toughness changed with time, and friability should be measured at 14 d after manufacture. This is due to moisture movement from outer sugar-coating layer into the inner sugar-coated tablets. Incorporating microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in the subcoating layer resulted in sugar-coating layers with high resistance against impact even though moisture content of sugar-coated tablets was low. We confirmed the high impact toughness of the sugar-coated tablets with MCC whose moisture content was low from the results of both free fall and friability tests. We suggest that the dusting method using dusting powder containing MCC is a useful method for the production of sugar-coated tablets containing moisture sensitive drugs.

    Upon exposure to sunlight, or to artificial light at wavelengths longer than 290 nm, sulfur dioxide in air underwent oxidation to give sulfur trioxide in the presence of air pollutants such as biacetyl (2,3-butanedione), benzaldehyde and nitrogen dioxide, but not in their absence. Only nitrogen dioxide completely oxidized sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide.

    Mechanically induced free radical (mechanoradical) formation of several substituted celluloses such as carboxylmethyl cellulose, chitin, and chitosan was studied based on electron-spin resonance (ESR) in comparison with those of plasma-induced radicals. Room temperature ESR spectra had multicomponent spectra and were different in pattern from each other. The mechanoradical concentration gradually decreased after reaching the maximum value in each substituted polysaccharide, accompanied by a decrease in molecular weight in the course of vibratory milling. One of the most intriguing facts is that the component radicals are all glucose-based radicals as in the case of plasma irradiation, although it is known that mechanoradicals are formed by 1,4-glucosidic bond cleavage of polysaccharides.

    A new diketopiperazine alkaloid, golmaenone (1) and related alkaloids, neoechinulin A (2) and L-alanyl-L-tryptophan anhydride (3), have been isolated from the culture broth of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. The structure and absolute stereochemistry of the new compound (1) was assigned by spectroscopic methods and the advanced Marfey's method. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited a significant radical scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with IC50 values of 20 and 24 μM, respectively, which are similar to the positive control, ascorbic acid (IC50, 20 μM). Compounds 1 and 2 also showed an ultraviolet-A (UV-A) (320—390 nm) protecting activity with ED50 values of 90 and 170 μM, respectively, which are more active than oxybenzone (ED50, 350 μM) currently being used as sunscreen.

    In the sequence Fourier analysis (SFA) of specific interactions such as those between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs)/FGF receptors (FGFRs), bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)/BMP receptors (BMPRs), or tumor repressor protein p53/mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), the characteristic frequency peak(s) could be observed with the hydrophobic scale for 20 amino acids as well as 4 nucleotides as the physicochemical parameter, but not successfully with the absolute electronegativity scale. This result implies that these two independent scales should be appropriately selected in various specific ligand–protein interactions, though the critical difference has to be determined.
