The bitterness of 10 different products with ambroxol as active ingredient, the original and nine generics, were evaluated by human gustatory sensation tests in which the tablets were kept in the mouth, with water, at 20 and 37°C. The products all showed different bitterness intensities. The original and some of the generic products had comparatively low bitterness intensities but some of the generic products had comparatively high bitterness intensities. The bitterness intensities of these 10 was found to be significantly correlated with both the disintegration time, as evaluated using the ODT-101 (a recently developed apparatus), and the drug concentration in dissolved medium, as measured in a conventional dissolution test. The bitterness threshold of ambroxol solution was found to increase when the temperature of the water with which the tablets were taken, was raised from 20 to 37°C. The equation was calculated to predict the bitterness intensity of ambroxol, a function based on temperature and the ambroxol concentration using data from a standard ambroxol solution at 4, 20 and 37°C. The bitterness intensities obtained for the 10 ambroxol formulations with water at 20 and 37°C, coincided with the bitterness values predicted by the equation.

Twenty-one data sets composed of readings collected by atmospheric ozone monitors worn by individuals on their clothing and installed outside their home or office were collected using Ogawa passive ozone samplers in southeastern Hyogo prefecture, Japan from September 12 to 13, 2011. The concentrations of personal and outdoor ozone ranged from not detectable to 23.2 ppb and from 4.7 to 38.3 ppb, respectively. The mean concentration of personal exposure to ozone was 3.7 ppb and was significantly lower than that of outdoor ozone (18.5 ppb). This suggests that the concentrations of outdoor ozone affect personal ozone exposure. However, in this study, we found no correlation between the concentrations of personal ozone and the total time spent outdoors or the time of day the individual was outside. In contrast, the mean concentrations of outdoor ozone were similar to those of ozone measured at the 12 nearest Ambient Monitoring Stations (AMSs). However, when the AMS was situated near a main road, the regional ozone levels were underestimated.

Generic versions of Neoral, a microemulsion capsule formulation of cyclosporine, have been approved worldwide. However, there are concerns about the quality and efficacy of the generics due to the formulation specificity and differences in inactive ingredients among products. In this study, we measured the physicochemical properties of both the innovator and the generic formulations, and compared their bioavailability in rats. When the capsule contents were dispersed in water, the absorbance (600 nm wavelength) of generic products was higher than that of the innovator. Whereas the dispersion solution of the innovator in Fed State Simulated Intestinal Fluid was nearly clear, that of all the generics became white and turbid. The mean diameter of the microemulsion (or emulsion) formed in water by the generics was 39.7, 57.7, 64.5, and 74.8 nm, all of which were larger than that of the innovator (26.4 nm). Although the
Tmax of the generics tended to be long relative to that of the innovator, there were no significant differences between the innovator and generics with regard to maximum blood concentration (
Cmax) or area under the curve (
AUC). These results suggest that the physicochemical differences between the innovator and the generics will not have a significant effect on
Cmax or
AUC, which is necessary to ensure bioequivalence.

The aim of the present study was to mask the bitterness of propiverine hydrochloride (P-4) by converting it to propiverine free base. Fine granules comprising the free base, which was converted from P-4 by desalination, were prepared. By using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction spectra, we confirmed that P-4 had been converted into propiverine free base by desalination during the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the conversion into free base appeared to result in decreased solubility, and both the taste testing sensor and tasting volunteers determined that it masked the bitterness of P-4. On using the gustatory sensation test, the bitterness of the P-4 fine granules was confirmed to be weakened. The dissolution rate and bioavailability of fine granules of the free base were compared with tablets of P-4. The dissolution rate and bioavailability of the fine granules and tablets were almost the same. We successfully masked the taste of P-4 by converting it into free base using a manufacturing process that was suitable for commercial manufacturing.

In this study, we investigated the surface properties of granulated boehmite with vinyl acetate (G-BE20) and measured the amount of phosphate it adsorbed and the effect of contact time and solution pH on the adsorption process. The specific surface area (144.9 m
2/g) and the number of surface hydroxyl groups (0.88 mmol/g) of G-BE20 were smaller than those of virgin boehmite (BE), which gave a specific surface area and number of surface hydroxyl groups of 297.0 m
2/g and 1.08 mmol/g, respectively. The amount of phosphate adsorbed increased with the temperature. The isotherm model of Langmuir was used to fit experimental adsorption equilibrium data for phosphate adsorption onto G-BE20. The calculated thermodynamic parameters show the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process. The equilibrium adsorption onto G-BE20 was reached within 16 h and the amount of phosphate adsorbed was 8.4 mg/g. The kinetic mechanism of phosphate uptake was evaluated with two different models: the Largergren pseudo first- and pseudo second-order models. The data obtained showed a better fit to the pseudo second-order model (0.991) than to the pseudo first-order model (0.967), as indicated by the
r values. The rate constants for the adsorption of phosphate onto G-BE20 were calculated as 0.481 1/h and 0.029 g/mg h. The adsorption of phosphate onto G-BE20 was the maximum in the pH range 3.0–4.0.

As for most other polyphenols, intradermal delivery of curcumin and resveratrol is limited; however, it was significantly improved by a microemulsion using Aerosol OT (Aerosol OT microemulsion) and Tween 80 (Tween 80 microemulsion) as surfactants. Aerosol OT microemulsion was more effective and the incorporation ratio of these polyphenols into skin by Aerosol OT microemulsion was five-fold or ten-fold that by Tween 80 microemulsion. To clarify the mechanism of the enhancement we examined the distribution of these polyphenols and the surfactant component, Aerosol OT, using excised guinea pig skin and Yucatan micropig (YMP) skin. During permeation, polyphenols distributed deep in the skin. In particular, a small molecule, resveratrol, was mainly present in the dermis in YMP skin. Aerosol OT also distributed deep in the skin. These findings suggest the possible involvement of the interaction of surfactant molecules with skin components in the enhanced delivery process of polyphenols. The distribution ratio between the dermis and epidermis of the polyphenols, including quercetin, in the presence of Aerosol OT microemulsion decreased with the increase of molecular weight in YMP skin, suggesting the possibility that distribution to the dermis is regulated by the molecular size.

Azelnidipine, a new dihydropyridine calcium ion antagonist, was protected by patent in Japan. In present study, identifications of the crystal phases, including two polymorphic and a pseudopolymorphic crystal forms of azelnidipine, were attempted using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), IR-, Raman-, THz-, and ss-NMR-spectroscopy. PXRD identified three different crystal forms, while, spectroscopy analysis provided the information of crystal structure involving intermolecular interactions. The transition thermodynamics of the azelnidipine polymorphs were extensively investigated by solubility method. The solubility of the two polymorphs of α and β in 50% ethanol at 25, 31, 37, 42, and 49°C was investigated; the values obtained were used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of the transition reaction. The temperature of polymorphic phase transition in 50% ethanol was 50.78°C, and the values of Δ

Aphanamixis grandifolia were assessed for their anti-inflammatory activity, exhibiting from weak to strong anti-inflammatory activity, by testing their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced RAW264.7 murine macrophages. To explore the relationship between the structures and anti-inflammatory activity, a vast pool of molecular descriptors for each isolate were calculated. Genetic algorithms (GA) or simulated annealing (SA) based partial least squares (GA-PLS and SA-PLS) algorithms identified some important descriptor combinations, which were correlated with both sets of the anti-inflammatory data by partial least squares 2 (PLS2) method. S-Plot was used to visualize the descriptor influence in the PLS2 model, disclosed five most important molecular descriptors, nOHt, RDF150m, lip_violation, Mor32m and JhetZ.

1 and
2 are novel natural ER stress inducers. Treatments with 1 and 5 µ
M of

2 triggered G1 arrest in H1299 and A549 cells with concomitant downregulation of ubiquitin fusion degradation protein 1 (Ufd1) and S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) proteins and the accumulation of p27, the key axes of ER stress-mediated G1 arrest. Compounds
1 and
2 also induced apoptosis at high concentrations (10, 20 µ
M) which was shown to be coupled with the upregulation of CHOP and Bim, the activation of caspase-9, caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage. These results indicate that compounds

2 as the preferred donor, and used it to show that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) can be upregulated in A549 cells
via photocontrolled HNO release. This result demonstrates the suitability of this photocontrollable HNO donor for biological investigations.
