Synthetic studies on salamander alkaloids isolated from animal venom in the skin gland of Salamandra maculosa LAURENTI were performed. Syntheses of three groups of alkaloids, one with a bicyclo-oxazolidine, one with a carbinolamine, and another with a pure 3-aza-A-homo steroid, are discussed. Regio- and stereospecific syntheses of the alkaloids are discussed in connection with the construction of the bicyclo-oxazolidine system of the major alkaloids and in connection with Beckmann rearrangement of steroid 3-ketoximes for the syntheses of the other alkaloids. A theoretical approach to the resolution of the geometrical isomers of oximes by adsorption chromatography is also discussed.

The serum concentration of unchanged pentazocine (PA) was investigated in rabbits when PA was administered concurrently with acetaminophen, salicylamide (SAM), salicylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, or p-aminosalicylic acid. The serum concentration of unchanged PA increased when 20 mg/kg PA was administered concurrently with 80 mg/kg SAM as compared with the administration of 20 mg/kg PA alone, but no similar results were obtained with the other drugs. The co-administration of PA and SAM also decreased serum and urinary PA glucuronide. On the other hand, when 80 mg/kg SAM and 375.6 mg/kg PA were administered together, the serum and urinary concentration of unchanged SAM was increased, while SAM glucuronide was decreased. We posit that the effect noted in the simultaneous 20 mg/kg PA and 80 mg/kg SAM administration experiments is due to competitive inhibition of glucuronidation.

The glucuronidations of pentazocine (PA) and salicylamide (SAM) were investigated in the microsomes of rabbit liver and the small intestine. 1) PA glucuronidation was inhibited competitively by the addition of SAM. 2) The inhibitory effect on PA glucuronidation was found to be greater with the addition of o-, m- or p-nitrophenol, and lesser with the addition of SAM and o-aminophenol. Salicylic acid, p-aminosalicylic acid or gentisic acid showed only slight inhibitory effect, and acetaminophen showed no effect. 3) It appeared that the degree of inhibition of PA glucuronidation by the addition of one of the phenolic compounds was almost the same in the liver and small intestine.

A search for catalysts effective for the ammoxidation of o-, m-, and p-methylanisole was undertaken. When a mixture of V
2O
5-ZrO
2 (wt ratio of 8 : 2) was used, o-methyl-anisole was converted to o-methoxybenzonitrile with a conversion of 48% and a selectivity of 55% (380°), m-methylanisole was converted to m-methoxybenzonitrile with a conversion of 49% and a selectivity of 41% (410°), and p-methylanisole was converted to p-methoxy-benzonitrile with a conversion of 64% and a selectivity of 51% (380°). A catalyst with a large V
2O
5 content showed an initially large catalytic activity which, however, deteriorated rapidly. High selectivity to methoxybenzonitrile was observed at small partial pressure of methylanisole. Catalytic activity was not very sensitive to the partial pressure of ammonia, but was very sensitive to the partial pressure of oxygen. For example, very rapid deterioration of catalytic activity was observed at small partial pressure, and considerable oxidation reaction was observed at a large partial pressure of oxygen. Time-and temperature dependence of the selectivity of the reaction products of ammoxidation of p-methylanisole were discussed.

The biological fate of 4-butyl-4-(β-carboxypropionyloxymethyl)-1, 2-diphenyl-3, 5-pyrazolidinedione : suxibuzone (SB) was studied in rats and beagle dogs. Furthermore, the effects of SB on liver microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme systems in rats were compared with those of phenylbutazone (PB), after daily oral administration of SB or PB for 1 week. 1) The biological fate of SB was different in rats and dogs and in the former a sex difference was noted. 2) Liver microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme systems were induced especially in male. 3) No difference between the two drugs was noted. However, when a single oral dose of SB was administered, keeping the PB schedule the same as above, the plasma half-life of PB was markedly shortened and maximum plasma levels of metabolites were rapidly reached. These results suggest that the biological fate of SB was stimulated by the enhancement or induction of liver microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme systems due to PB and its metabolites after daily oral administration.

In a search for new synthetic non-narcotic analgesics, the reduction of 2-aminomethyl-3-anilino-2-cyclohexen-1-ones (I) which had both analgesic and narcotic activities was studied. 2-Aminomethyl-3-anilinocyclohexanols (IV), (6-anilino-1-cyclohexenyl) methyl-amines (VI) and (2-anilinocyclohexyl) methylamines (VIII) were obtained by reduction of the corresponding I with lithium aluminum hydride. Configurations of IV and VIII were determined by analysis of the NMR spectra of IV, VIII and their acyl derivatives. 3-(2-Chloroanilino)-5, 5-dimethyl-2-piperidinomethylcyclohexanol (IVc) exhibited the most potent analgesic activity among the compounds synthesized. However, it was impossible to separate the analgesic from the narcotic activities in these compounds.

7-Methoxycoumarin-4-carbonyl chloride (1), 7-methoxycoumarin-4-carbohydrazide (2), 4-methylcoumarin-7-isothiocyanate (3), and 7-dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarin-3-isothiccyanate (4) were synthesized to examine their reactivities with various functional groups and the fluorescence characteristics of the resulting derivatives. The reaction of 1 with alcohols and amines readily yielded the esters and the amides respectively. The hydrazones were obtained by the reaction of 2 with carbonyl compounds, and 3 and 4 reacted with amines to yield the thioureides. The fluorescence spectra and the quantum yields of these coumarin derivatives were measured, and it was found that 1 was useful as a fluorescent acylating reagent for alcohols and primary amines. The thioureides derived from 4 also showed a high quantum fluorescence yield.

A fluorometric method for the determination of p-aminophenol (AP) with 3-amino-2 (1H)-quinolinethione (AQT) was described. AP was oxidized with ceric ammonium sulfate dihydrate and allowed to react with AQT in the presence of a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in a dilute sulfuric acid solution. In an alkaline solution, the reaction product developed a yellow green fluorescence which had an excitation maximum at 394 nm and an emission maximum at 530 nm. The fluorescence intensity was linear over the range 0.5-4.5μg/ml of AP. On the other hand, acetaminophen (AAP) was hydrolyzed to AP in a dilute sulfuric acid solution, and 0.5-6.0μg/ml of AAP was determined by the same method as AP. The coefficients of variation were 1.0% (n=10) and 1.2% (n=10) for 3.0μg/ml of AP and AAP, respectively. The fluorometric method for AAP was applicable to the determination of AAP in anti-cold pharmaceutical preparations.

Because of the increasing importance of optically active epoxides in biological and pharmaceutical chemistry as well as in organic syntheses, the asymmetric epoxidation reaction was selected from less-developed asymmetric oxidation reactions, and the possible exploitation of the asymmetric epoxidation catalysts was investigated. Two types of the chiral molybdenum (VI) catalysts (1 and 2) involving optically active N-alkyl-β-aminoalcohols (9 and 10) as stable chiral ligands and acetylacetone as a replaceable bidentate ligand, were designed, based on the proposed mechanism for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols with alkyl hydroperoxides which could be catalyzed by metal complexes. Although attempted preparations of the former metal complexes (1) were unsuccessfull, the latter molybdenum (VI) complexes (2b-d) were successfully synthe-sized by the ligand exchange reaction of molybdenum dioxyacetylacetonate [MoO
2 (acac)
2] (3) with (1R, 2S)-N-alkylephedrines (10b-d).

The catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols (2a-c) with alkyl hydro-peroxides (4a, b) was attempted using chiral oxidation catalysts, (acetylacetonato)-[(1R, 2S)-N-alkylephedrinato] dioxomolybdenum (1a-c). Examination of factors, including reaction temperature, solvent, nature of oxidants, and amount of catalyst, which may affect both the chemical and optical yields of optically active 2, 3-epoxy alcohols (3a-c), resulted in the establishment of the optimal reaction condition for asymmetric epoxidation. Based on these results, the preparation of 3a-c having a (2R)-configuration was achieved with a maximum optical yield of 33% ee. The absolute configurations and optical purity of 3a-c were determined by chemical correlation with (R)-3-methylbutane-1, 2, 3-triol (8), (R)- and (S)-linalool (11 and 14), respectively. The epoxidation mechanism is discussed in detail.

We examined the photodynamic action of 6-mercaptopurine on calf thymus DNA and the mechanisms involved in this reaction. When the aqueous mixture of 6-mercapto-purine and DNA was irradiated by light from a 290 nm distance, the melting point and viscosity of DNA decreased, the alkaline sucrose density gradient centrifugation pattern of DNA shifted towards the less dense side, and malonaldehyde was produced in the reaction mixture. These changes were inhibited when the reaction mixture was degassed, or when a quencher for singlet oxygen or excited triplets was added to the reaction mixture. We concluded that single-chain scission of the DNA molecule occurred as a result of the photodynamic action of 6-mercaptopurine, and that singlet oxygen produced in the reaction mixture played an important role in the photosensitization of DNA.

The pharmacological properties of DL-1-(γ-chloropropyl)-2-chloromethylpiperidine hydrobromide (CAP-2), a new nitrogen mustard type antitumor agent, were investigated in various experimental animals. The LD
50 value by intraperitoneal single injection of CAP-2 was 60.0 mg/kg for female mice and 65.0 mg/kg for male mice 7 days after injection. Female and male received a maximum tolerated dose of 30 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg, respectively, of CAP-2 intraperitoneally once a day for 7 days. Decrease of spontaneous motalities, mild prolongation of sleeping time, hypothermia, and analgesic action were observed by intraperitoneal injection in mice of a dose of 30 mg/kg of CAP-2, but not at smaller doses. In the isolated large intestine of the guinea pig, a low concentration of CAP-2 caused relaxation and a decrease of activity which was antagonistic for acetylcholine, but not for barium chloride. Intestinal relaxation disappeared and changed to intestinal contraction by the repeated application of CAP-2 (1×10
-4g/ml). CAP-2 (1×10
-4g/ml) caused intestines relaxed by atropine to contract and increased their activity. This contraction was inhibited by paraverine. In the isolated heart of the frog, CAP-2 showed a negative inotropic action and a concentration of 1×10
-4g/ml inhibited the diastric standstill by acetylcholine. CAP-2 did not affect femoral vessel flow in the frog even at a concentration of 3×10
-2g/ml. CAP-2 tended to contract the rectus abdominis muscle of the frog. In the rabbit, CAP-2 (1-5mg/kg, i.v.) exhibited a temporary hypotensive action and weak respiratory stimulation. From these results, it was confirmed that CAP-2 has a depressant effect on the central nervous system and an anticholinergic action on the peripheria.
