    The preparation of core particles suitable for subsequent film coating was examined using different scales of agitation fluidized beds. Specifically, the effects of agitator rotational speed and agitator blade shape in different scales of granulators on granule properties such as mass median diameter, apparent density, friability and shape factor were studied. As the agitator rotational speed was increased or when the agitator blade height and angle were large, the mass median diameter and friability of the granules decreased, while the apparent density and shape factor increased, in a manner independent of the vessel size because the granules were subjected to greater compression, shearing and rolling effects. The same core particles could not be prepared using granulators with different vessel sizes by simply adopting a conventional scale-up theory1,2) based on kinetic energy similarity. Here, a novel scale-up theory that takes into account agitator blade shape factors is proposed.3) When the two scale-up theories were compared, our new theory was capable of predicting the granule properties more accurately than the conventional theory. By adopting this novel theory, the same core particles could be prepared under different operating conditions in any scale of granulator.

    Twelve N-terminal analogs of des-fatty acyl-polymyxin B (Des-FA-[X1]-PMB, X=various amino acids or peptides) were synthesized and examined for their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). It was found that Des-FA-[Dap1]-, Des-FA-[Ser1]-, Des-FA-[Dab-Dab-Dab1]- and Des-FA-[Arg-Arg-Arg1]-PMB had potent activity only against P. aeruginosa, with MIC values of 0.5—1 nmol/ml. Analogs in which X was Lys, Arg, Leu or Ala did not have increased antimicrobial activity against the three bacterial species tested compared with the lead compounds Des-FA-[Dab1]-PMB and polymyxin B (PMB). Des-FA-[Trp1]-PMB and Des-FA-[Phe1]-PMB had reduced activity against P. aeruginosa. The results indicate that compact hydrophilic amino acids (C3) or basic tripeptides at the N-terminal provide specificity for bactericidal activity towards P. aeruginosa. For LPS-binding activity, Des-FA-[Dab-Dab-Dab1]-PMB and Des-FA-[Arg-Arg-Arg1]-PMB showed activity comparable to PMB, while Des-FA-[Ala-Ala-Ala1]-PMB showed very low activity. Reduced acute toxicity of Des-FA-[Dap1]-PMB and Des-FA-[Trp1]-PMB was demonstrated by a mouse tail intravenous administration test, with LD50 values of 23.5 and 19.0 μmol/kg, respectively, in contrast to PMB (LD50, 4.8 μmol/kg).

    The present investigation was undertaken to design a simple, rapid, cost effective and highly efficient process to fabricate a tasteless complex of risperidone using ion exchange resin (IER), evaluate the molecular properties of the resinate and finally incorporate it into orally disintegrating tablets (ODT). The resinate formation using Amberlite IRP64, was confirmed using the characterization methods: Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The maximum loading efficiency achieved was 99.72±0.16% in 1 : 4 (drug : resin weight) ratio at pH 6.0, temperature at 22 °C in a period of 1.5 h using ethanol : water (1 : 1, v/v) as the complexation medium. The complex was compressed into orally disintegrating tablet. The drug release from the complex was about 2.5% in 120 s in 5 ml of pH 6.8 phosphate buffer which has been used to mimic the salivary fluid volume and pH. Dissolution studies using 500 ml of 0.1 N HCl at 50 rpm in USP Apparatus II released 92% in 5 min, indicating complete drug release from the complex in the stomach. Resinate was tasteless while the fabricated ODTs were pleasantly tasting without any bitterness of drug as confirmed by the taste panel.

    Forty-eight kinds of isoflavones (8), thirty-one isoflavanes (9), and forty-seven biphenyl-ketones (10, 10′) were synthesized from eleven kinds of substituted phenols (11) and six phenylacetic acids (12). Among them, seventy-five compounds are new. The radical scavenging activities of these compounds were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) at pH 6.0. We found that thirty-nine out of forty-three compounds having a catechol moiety on either the A- or the B-ring exhibited a high activity (ED50=12—54 μM) similar to that of catechin. In these cases, the remaining part of their structure seemed to have little effect on their activity. Many 6- or 8-hydroxyisoflavanes (9E—I) and their biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10E—H) also showed a high activity (ED50=<50 μM), while all of their corresponding isoflavones (8E—I) were not active at all. The 7-hydroxyisoflavanes having either an additional hydroxyl group at the C5-position (9D) or a methoxy group at the C6-position (9J) presented a high activity (ED50=26—32 μM). This study suggests that natural isoflavones have the possibilities of exhibiting antioxidant activities through the hydroxylation at the C6-, C8-, or C3′-position or the formation of the isoflavanes (9) and/or the biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10′) by metabolism or biotransformation.

    The methanolic extract from the flowers of Helichrysum arenarium L. MOENCH was found to show inhibitory effect on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α, 1 ng/ml)-induced cytotoxicity in L929 cells. From the methanolic extract, 50 constituents including four new flavanone and chalcone glycosides named arenariumosides I (1), II (2), III (3), and IV (4) were isolated. The stereostructures of 1—4 were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. Among the constituents, naringenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (14), apigenin 7-O-gentiobioside (16), and apigenin 7,4′-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (17) significantly inhibited TNF-α-induced cytotoxicity in L929 cells at 30 μM.

    A convenient and economical synthesis of 4-hydroxy-2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde has been developed. This was used as the starting material for the first total syntheses of (±)-isopiline, (±)-preocoteine, (±)-oureguattidine and (±)-3-methoxynordomesticine in which the key step involved formation of ring C of the aporphines by a radical-initiated cyclisation. Although (±)-3-methoxynordomesticine possesses weak antimicrobial activity, it inhibits the production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin (PG)E2, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cycloxygenase (COX)-2 in macrophages stimulated with LPS in vitro.

    The selectivity of synthetic beauveriolide derivatives in inhibition toward the two isozymes of acyl-CoA : cholesterol acyltrasferase (ACAT), ACAT1 and ACAT2, was studied in cell-based assays using ACAT1- or ACAT2-expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. NBV274, 285 and 300 showed ACAT1 selective inhibition similar to that of natural beauveriolides I and III, NBV345 inhibited both isozymes with similar potency, but NBV281, 331 and 249 were found to selectively inhibit the ACAT2 isozyme. The structure–activity relationships indicated that a subtle structural difference in beauveriolide derivatives can affect the selectivity of inhibition of the ACAT isozymes.

    The purpose of the present study was to compare the palatability of the original and eight generic versions of famotidine orally disintegrating tablets by means of human gustatory sensation tests, a comparison of the release profiles, and using an automated taste sensor, the α-Astree Electronic Tongue. In the gustatory sensation test, the original product (Gaster®D, 10 mg) showed the lowest bitterness intensity. Among the eight generic products tested, the variance in the sweetness intensity was not great, but there were large variances in the intensity of bitterness, some of the generic products being significantly more bitter than that of the original product. On the other hand, some generic products show similar bitterness level as the original product. In a study of release profiles, the original product had the lowest release rates of both famotidine and aspartame; in comparison, some of the generic products had high release rates of famotidine and aspartame, even in the initial stages. Whereas some generic products had low release rates of famotidine and aspartame. Finally, sample solutions were analysed using the taste sensor. There was a good correlation between the taste predicted by principal component analysis and the Euclidean distance obtained by the taste sensor, and bitterness intensities obtained in the human gustatory tests.

    The purpose of this study was to develop nasal microparticles of metoclopromide employing gellan gum as a polymer by spray drying method. This method of microencapsulation is particularly less dependent on the solubility characteristics of the drug and polymer and is simple, reproducible, and easy to scale up. The microparticles were evaluated for characteristics like particle size, incorporation efficiency, swelling ability, zeta potential, mucoadhesion, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) study and in vitro drug release. The microparticles so prepared had irregular shape and smooth but distorted surface morphology. They were negatively charged. The particle size ranged from 9.38 to 10.67 μm. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed that metoclopromide was molecularly dispersed inside the microparticles. The swelling was increased with increase in amount of polymer. The release of drug from microparticles was moderately sustained without lag time and attributed to formation of hydrogel; ionically cross linked hydrogel was hypothesized. The formulation was found to be non toxic to nasal tissue. These in vitro preliminary results show that spray dried microparticles based on gellan gum could be suitable nasal delivery system for the administration of metoclopromide.

    The reagent-free C2–C7 thermal cyclization of a nonconjugated aryl–yne–carbodiimide yielded a dibenzo[b,g][1,8]naphthyridine derivative, whose congeners are known to possess fascinating pharmacological properties. This is the first heteroaromatic compound prepared by the thermal cycloaromatization of “nonconjugated” aryl–ynes.

    Two new flavan-3-ols, 6-(2-pyrrolidinone-5-yl)-(−)-epicatechin (1) and 8-(2-pyrrolidinone-5-yl)-(−)-epicatechin (2), as well as five known compounds, (−)-epicatechin (3), (+)-catechin (4), proanthocyanidin B-4 (5), (+)-pinoresinol, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, were isolated from an EtOAc-soluble extract of the roots of Actinidia arguta. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic data interpretation, particularly by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR studies. All the isolates were evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity on the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Of these, compounds 1—5 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against AGEs formation with IC50 values ranging from 10.1 to 125.2 μM.

    The methanolic extract and its ethyl acetate-soluble fraction from the dried powder of cultured Cordyceps sinensis mycelium showed cytotoxic effects on promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. Sitosterol (1), 5α,8α-epidioxy-22E-ergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (2), 5α,8α-epidioxy-22E-ergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3β-ol (3), 5α,6α-epoxy-5α-ergosta-7,22-dien-3β-ol (4), and ergosterol (5) were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction. Among the isolated compounds, 2—4 with a peroxide ring or an epoxide ring showed substantial cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 7.3—7.8 μg/ml, but 1 and 5 showed only moderate activity. Furthermore, apoptosis of HL-60 cells was observed 24 h after treatment with 2—4 (10, 20 μg/ml) using the TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling method, and their apoptosis-inducing activities are suggested to be dependent on the activation of caspases-3/7. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of sterol constituents (1—5) from cultured C. sinensis mycelium.

    A new ellagitannin dimer named euscaphinin was isolated from the leaves of Euscaphis japonica (THUNB.) KANITZ. The structure of this dimer was determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence. The resulting structure indicated that it was produced by intermolecular C–O oxidative coupling between the galloyl groups of molecules of 1(β)-O-galloyl pedunculagin, the major ellagitannin of the leaves. The ellagitannins were not detected in the bark and wood part of the plant. This is the first example of the isolation of ellagitannins from Staphyleaceaeous plants.

    Diiodo-, dibromo- and dichloro-platinum(II) complexes containing L-histidine ligand were prepared. Their spectra and X-ray crystal structure of the dibromo-platinum(II) complex were described. Only the dichloro-platinum(II) complex showed comparable cytotoxic activity with carboplatin against A549/ATCC, HT-29, and LNcap cell lines. Nevertheless the complexes with COOH-substituted ligands histidine may be good starting materials to synthesize targeting platinum complexes since they could be easily linked to suitable carrier molecules via esterification.

    One new dihydrochalcone, dihydromonospermoside (7), was isolated from the flowers of Butea monosperma together with three known chalcones, butein (2), monospermoside (4) and isoliquiritigenin (8), one flavone, 7,3′,4′-trihydroxyflavone (6), four flavanones, (−)-butin (1a), (−)-butrin (3a), (+)-isomonospermoside (5b) and (−)-liquiritigenin (9a), and three isoflavones, formononetin (10), afrormosin (11) and formononetin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (12). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by spectroscopic techniques whereas those of the known compounds were identified by comparisons of spectroscopic and some physical data with those of reported compounds. The absolute configurations at the 2-position of the flavanones 1a, 3a, 5b and 9a were established to be 2S, 2S, 2R and 2S, respectively, by circular dichroism spectral measurements and were confirmed by comparison of the optical rotations with those of reported values and by enzymic hydrolysis of the glucosides to the corresponding aglycones. The isolated flavonoids exhibited varying antimycobacterial activity with the chalcone 2 being the most active compound (MIC 12.5 μg/ml).
