    Acute toxicity and depressive effect on spontaneous motor activity were examined on N-derivatives of piperidine as a model compound for piperidine and peperazine series analgesics, using untreated mice and mice pretreated with phenobarbital or SKF-525A. Acute toxicity of the derivatives with facile N-C cleavage by liver monooxygenase due to enzyme induction became weak but the depressive action became stronger, approaching close to that of piperidine, while acute toxicity and depressive action inversely changed into other direction on enzyme inhibition. Derivatives with difficult N-C cleavage showed hardly any change by derivation and inhibition. These results suggest that N-C cleavage is related to the depressive action of the derivatives, and this was also supported by the results of quantitative assay of piperidine in the blood and brain of mice given the derivatives. These results also suggest a correlation between acute toxicity and N-C cleavage but the toxicity is rapid-acting and central, so that this correlation cannot be definitely concluded.

    Ac3-Proteinase was purified from the lyophilized venom of Agkistrodon acutus using gel filtration on a Sephadex G-75 column, followed by chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Sephadex A-50, DEAE-Sephacel and DEAE-Sephacel rechromatography. By these procedures, 22.7 mg of purified preparation was obtained from 1 g of crude venom. The purified preparation was homogeneous as judged by disc electrophoresis over polyacrylamide gel at pH 8.3 and isoelectric focusing. Ac3-Proteinase possessed both lethal and hemorrhagic activities. These and proteolytic activities were inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), cysteine or antiserum, but not by soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI), p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) or diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP). The molecular weight of Ac3-proteinase was estimated to be about 57000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the isoelectric point was found to be pH 4.7, indicating that the protein was acidic. The minimum hemorrhagic dose, LD50 and proteolytic activities of the purified preparation were 0.95μg, 108μg/mouse, and 0.253 unit/mg, respectively. Both Ac1- and Ac2-proteinases were simple proteins, while Ac3-proteinase was a glycoprotein.

    Recent advances in pharmaceutical technology and instruments have made it possible to manufacture more uniform preparations. However, the Japanese pharmacopoeia have not kept in step with these developments. For example, the weight variation test for uncoated tablets has not been revised since publication of the 7th edition in 1961. Fifty four brands of commercial, uncoated and coated tablets were selected at random and subjected to the weight variation test of the J.P.IX. For comparison purposes, four uncoated tablets, formulated in our laboratory, were included in this study. All uncoated tablets complied with the requirements of the J. P. IX. Variations in tablet weight, presented as standard deviation and/or range, increased with the average weight increase of the tablets. However, the variations were found to be considerably less than the requirements. This suggests that the requirements should be updated since they do not adapt to present status of tablet formulations. More than 80% of the coated tablets complied with the requirements which are applied only to uncoated tablets in the J.P.IX. It was apparent that the variations in coated tablets were not as small as those of uncoated tablets ; however, the fact that more than 80% of the coated tablets complied with the J. P. requirements suggests that some requirement should be established for the coated preparations.

    Synthesis of asymmetric compounds having a ferroin or cuproin group, such as 2, 2'-dipyridyls (III) like 3, 4'-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl, derivatives of 2-(2-pyridyl) quinoline (VI) and asymmetric 2, 2'-diquinolinyl (XIII), and derivatives of pyridylpyridazine (XII), pyridylpyrazine, and pyridylquinoxaline may be carried out by dehydrogenative condensation of aromatic amine N-oxides using a platinized palladium-carbon catalyst, and examinations were made to see which of I and II should be derived to their N-oxide. In the syntheses of III and XIII, reaction should be carried out by derivation of a more reactive compound to its N-oxide. For the synthesis of VI, better yield is obtained by derivation of pyridine to its N-oxide rather than quinoline, although reaction of quinoline N-oxide gives VI preferencially but in a small yield, with little formation of other by-products. XII is obtained by the reaction of pyridine with pyridazine N-oxides but, in the case of pyrazine and quinoxaline, the objective compound is obtained only when quinoxaline is reacted with pyridine N-oxide.

    Dehydrogenative condensation of two molecules of pyridine 1-oxide or N-oxides of benzo [f] quinoline (I), benzo [h] quinoline (IV), benzo [g] quinoline (VIII), and acridine (XIII) by hydrogenation using a platinized palladium-carbon catalyst affords respective dimers bonded at 2-position of the ring nitrogen, except in XIII which cannot undergo dehydrogenation at 2-position of the ring nitrogen. I and IV also afforded the corresponding pyridylbenzoquinoline, although in a small quantity. Dimerization of these compounds is extremely poor compared to pyridine and quinoline. IV formed its dimer only when 10-hydroxybenzo [h] quinoline was reacted as its N-oxide. VIII was synthesized by dehydrogenative aromatization of 6, 7, 8, 9-tetrahydrobenzo [g] quinoline with DDQ and VIII was not formed when palladium-carbon was used, resulting in the formation of a dimer.

    The biological fate of 4-butyl-4-(β-carboxypropionyl-oxymethyl)-1, 2-diphenyl-3, 5-pyrazolidinedione (Suxibuzone, SB) was compared with that of phenylbutazone (PB) in rats, rabbits, beagle dogs and rhesus monkeys. The results obtained were as follows ; 1) When SB was administered orally, the main metabolites in the plasma were PB, oxyphenbutazone (Oxy-PB) and γ-hydroxyphenylbutazone (γ-Hydroxy-PB) in all species, though species differences were observed in the maximum plasma levels of the respective metabolites. Only in dogs and monkeys, was a small amount of SB detected in the plasma during the early time of dosing. 2) The metabolites and their maximum levels in plasma after the administration of SB were almost identical with those observed after the administration of PB. 3) After administration of SB, the main metabolites found in urine were PB, Oxy-PB, γ-Hydroxy-PB and their conjugates in all species, while species differences were observed in the percent excreted. In the dogs and monkeys, urinary excretion as the form of SB and 4-hydroxymethylphenylbutazone (4-HM-PB) glucuronides was observed in small amount for 0-12 hours. 4) There were no significant differences in the metabolites and their excreted percent in urine between SB and PB administration. 5) Differences between male and female in maximum plasma levels of PB and γ-Hydroxy-PB and in urinary excreted percent of γ-Hydroxy-PB were observed only in rats. 6) Species differences were observed in esterase activity on SB in vitro. 7) SB was bound to the albumin fraction as in the case of PB, but its binding percent was about 1/2 lower than that of PB. 8) SB showed anti-edematous action on carrageenin-induced edema and its activity was almost similar to that of PB. Anti-edematous activity of Oxy-PB was weaker than that of SB and γ-Hydroxy-PB had no effect on its action.

    NMR spectra of N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneaniline in various solvents were observed. The dilution curves were estimated from proton chemical shifts of all the resonance signals observed. The dilution coefficients (Δδ/Δc) were obtained from the dilution curves. Correlations for the dilution coefficients between protons and between solvents were examined in detail. A discussion of the nature of the solvents and solute is presented and it is suggested that correlation analysis is one of available methods for discussing the solvent effect.

    The stability, degradation pattern and structure of degradation products of sodium 7-[D (-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (T-1551) in aqueous solution were investigated. T-1551 was kept in various solutions in pH and μ=0.5 at 35°, its degradation was followed by HPLC. T-1551 was stable at the range of pH 4.0-7.0, slightly unstable at acid and markedly unstable at alkaline. It was confirmed that in alkaline solution, 7-[D (-)-α-[3-[2-(N-ethyl-N-oxaloamino)-ethyl] ureido]-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (T-1551A) was produced, and that in acidic solution, 7-[D (-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-hydroxy-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid γ-lactone (T-1551B), 7-[D (-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-hydroxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (T-1551C), 5-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-tetrazole (T-1551F), 2-[2-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-2-[1, 2, 5, 7-tetrahydro-7-oxo-4H-furo [3, 4-d] [1, 3] thiazin-2-yl] acetic acid (T-1551G), 2-[α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamidomethyl]-2, 3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-methyl-6H-thiazine-4-carboxylic acid γ-lactone (T-1551H) and N-formylmethyl-D-(-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide (T-1551D) were produced, respectively.

    Application of dichlorocarbene to 2-methylisoquinolinium iodides (3), derived from isoquinoline (1), in the presence of a phase-shifting catalyst, resulted in the formation of 1, 1-dichloro-2-methyl-3-(trichloromethyl)-1a, 2, 3, 7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa [c] isoquinoline derivatives (4). Application of dichlorocarbene to I in the presence of ethanol gave 1, 1-dichloro-3-ethoxy-2-formyl-1a, 2, 3, 7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa [c] isoquinoline derivative (s) (7). Both 4 and 7 were labile and were obtained in a low yield. Application of dichloro-or dibromo-carbene to 1-alkyl-2-benzoyl-1-cyano-1, 2-dihydroisoquinolines (10), obtained from 1 in two steps, afforded stable 2-benzoyl-3-cyano-1, 1-dichloro (or -1, 1-dibromo)-1a, 2, 3, 7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa [c] isoquinoline derivatives (11) in a high yield. Since there has been no published report on the syntheses of cyclopropa [c] isoquinoline derivatives from 1, this method of synthesis via 10 seems to be useful.

    Reaction of quinoline (I) and isoquinoline (VI) with diborane, followed by treatment with hydrochloric acid, afforded the corresponding 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro compounds. However, quinaldine (III) gave traces of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinaldine, and neither lepidine (V) nor 3-methylisoquinoline (VIII) were reduced under similar conditions. On the other hand, quinoxaline derivatives reacted with diborane alone to give the corresponding 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro derivatives in quantitative yields. It is interesting that the reduction of heteroaromatic compounds proceeded with diborane.

    Solutions of DL-alanine, DL-valine, DL-leucine and DL-isoleucine in water containing mercury (II) chloride were irradiated for 4 hr by an 8W low-pressure mercury arc lamp. The alkylmercury (II) chlorides produced in the irradiated solutions were analysed quantitatively by gas chromatography. It was observed that methylmercury unrelated to the alkyl residues in the α-amino acid was formed almost exclusively, although DL-leucine yielded an undetermined organomercury compound in addition to methylmercury. The use of a 20W blacklight lamp (300-400 nm) as a light source resulted in the formation of a much lower yield of methylmercury after irradiation for 150 or 300 hr. A white solid deposited as the reaction proceeded showed some properties of a mercurous compound. Photolysis of glycine and phenylglycine did not yield alkylmercury compounds, indicating that the formation of methylmercury was due to the apparent fragmentation of the alkyl residues of the α-amino acid during photolysis.
