    Notes: Abstract  Cytarabine ocfosfate (YNK01) is a novel orally applicable prodrug of cytosine arabinoside. Recent pharmacokinetic studies have revealed a prolonged release of the cytotoxic agent cytosine arabinoside (araC) from hepatocytes into the systemic circulation, resulting in a half-life of approximately 24 h for araC. The specific pharmacokinetic characteristics of cytarabine ocfosfate lead to a prolonged exposure of leukemic cells to this antineoplastic agent during the 14-day cycle. The oral applicability during outpatient treatment and the sustained antineoplastic activity of araC against slowly proliferating leukemic B-cells suggest that cytarabine ocfosfate might be a useful drug in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Four years after diagnosis of B-CLL, a 50-year-old patient was started on cytarabine ocfosfate. Sequentially, the patient's disease had proved refractory to treatment with chlorambucil/prednisone (31 months), fludarabine (5 months), and prednimustine/mitoxantrone (3 months). These established regimens were discontinued because of increasing lymphocytosis, significant thrombocytopenia, and progressive B-symptoms. Following three cycles of cytarabine ocfosfate B-symptoms resolved, lymphadenopathy disappeared, and thrombocytopenia was significantly reduced. The patient has been free of these symptoms on a dosage of 1500 mg cytarabine ocfosfate/day (cycle of 14 days with intervals of 14–21 days) for 24 months and remains in an ongoing partial remission.

    Notes: Abstract We have studied the influence of oxygen on the superconducting properties of thin films of lead, indium and tin deposited on glass or sapphire substrates. In addition, the morphological microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The film thickness was 1.0 μm, and the partial pressure of O2 during the film deposition was raised up to 1×10−4 Torr. In all three materials the development of a granular structure and a strong increase in the residual electric resistivity was observed due to the O2-treatment. Whereas in the Pb films no change of the critical temperature was found, the In films deposited on glass substrates showed a slight increase ofT c due to the oxygen. The strongest increase ofT c (up to 8%) was observed in the O2-treated Sn films. These results are discussed in terms of the McMillan theory. From our measurements of the critical current densityj c we conclude that edge pinning is dominant in the undoped films. All three materials showed a strong increase ofj c due to the O2-treatment which must be interpreted in terms of bulk pinning.

    Notes: Abstract  The clinical effects of cytosine arabinoside (AraC) are highly dependent on schedule and dose. Many regimens administered to patients are derived from artificial model systems involving permanent leukemic cell lines. The differences in pharmacokinetics between the in vivo situation and such cell lines are largely neglected. However, cytidine deaminase activity in particular has a major impact on AraC pharmacokinetics by degrading AraC to its inactive metabolite AraU, and it has been shown to be of prognostic relevance in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. This study therefore investigated cytidine deaminase activities and AraC deamination in a variety of the most commonly used leukemic cell lines and fresh blasts and their impact on the results of an in vitro model system. It was found that cells from different cell lines (BLIN, CEM, HL60, K562, RAJI, REH, U937) vary greatly in cytidine deaminase activity (e.g., 1.89 nmol per min/mg in K562 versus 0.01 in BLIN cells) and degrade between 18.5 (BLIN) and 96.5% (REH) of AraC to AraU in the incubation medium. This degradation results in highly different AraC exposures for different cells (e.g., AUC of 960 ng per h/ml in REH versus 4048 ng per h/ml in BLIN cells) in spite of identical starting concentrations of the drug. Formation of AraCTP as the main cytotoxic metabolite of AraC is significantly influenced by the differences in cell type-dependent cytidine deaminase activity (e.g., 35.6 ng/107 cells in REH versus 180.2 ng/107 cells in BLIN cells). In contrast to permanent cell lines, fresh leukemic blasts and normal bone marrow mononuclear cells featured low AraC degradation in the model system.

    Notes: N-Ethylaziridine (1) was polymerized in water with HCl as initiator and copolymerized with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aziridine (2). Rapid propagation and termination reactions were observed. The maximum yield increases with the initiator concentration, whereas the molecular weight decreases. This is due to the difference in basicity between the tertiary N-atoms of the two monomers and the tertiary and the terminal secondary N-atoms of the polymers, which causes tranfer and termination reactions. Macrocycles with a side chain on a quaternary N-atom are formed. During the copolymerization, the more basic 1 is preferentially incorporated into the copolymer chain. The copolymerization parameters can be estimated roughly on the basis of basicity considerations: r1 〉 1; r2 〈 1. The ratio of the rate constants (propagation to termination) is lower for 1 than for 2. This is due to the fact that the basicity difference between the monomer and the tertiary N-atoms of the polymer is higher for 1 than for 2. By reaction of thionyl chloride with the copolymers the desired hydrochlorides of the N-(2-chloroethyl) derivatives are obtained. The neutralisation with alkali did not result the free bases, since the products formed are rather due to side reactions.

    Notes: The thermal stabilities of polybutadienyllithium, polyisoprenyllithium, and polystyryllithium solutions have been determined in hydrocarbon solvents. Kinetic analysis indicated that a complex mechanism was involved in the thermolysis of polybutadienyllithium. The thermal stability was observed to increase with increasing lithium concentration, suggesting the presence of competitive reactions in addition to the expected elimination of lithium hydride. The thermal stability of the three systems studied was consistent with their reported degrees of association: dimeric polystyryllithium was less stable than tetrameric polyisoprenyllithium or hexameric polybutadienyllithium.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Mechanismus strahleninduzierter Polymerisationen im festen Zustand gab bisher vielerlei Anlaß zu Spekulationen. Da energiereiche Strahlen normalerweise im festen Monomeren sowohl Radikale als auch Ionen erzeugen, ist es schwierig zu unterscheiden, welche Art dieser Spezies tatsächlich die Polymerisation auslöst.Wir haben eine Methode entwickelt, die es erlaubt, kationische und anionische aktive Zentren zu unterscheiden. Kationische Polymerisationen werden durch Zugabe einer Base wie Natriumalkoholat in einem geeigneten Lösungsmittel abgebrochen; die Alkoxygruppe wird dabei in das Polymere als Endgruppe eingebaut. Diese Endgruppe wird nach Isolierung und Reinigung des Polymeren analytisch bestimmt. Der Einbau von Alkoxy-Endgruppen in das Polymere beweist das Auftreten von Polymerketten mit kationischen Kettenenden. Mit dieser Methode wurde gezeigt, daß bei der γ-strahleninduzierten Polymerisation von kristallinem Trioxan bei 60°C Polyoxymethylen-Kationen vorliegen. Es wird angenommen, daß das Kettenwachstum wie bei mit LEWIS-Säuren initiierten Polymerisationen über diese kationischen Zentren erfolgt.Anionische Kettenenden können auf analoge Weise bestimmt werden. Die Polymerisa-tionen werden durch Zugabe eines Überschusses an Alkyljodid abgebrochen, das mit anionischen Kettenenden unter Bildung von Alkoxy-Endgruppen reagiert. Überraschend wurden bei der strahleninduzierten Polymerisation von kristallinem Trioxan auch anionische Kettenenden im Polymeren gefunden. Es wird angenommen, daß diese Anionen nur als Gegenionen zu den wachsenden kationischen Kettenenden fungieren und selbst nicht zu einem Kettenwachstum führen
    Notes: The mechanism of radiation-induced polymerizations in the solid state has been a subject mostly open to speculation. As radiation usually generates several kinds of active species (radicals and ions) it is difficult to find out, which of these actually causes polymerization.We have developped a method distinguishing between cationic and anionic active centers. Cationic polymerizations are terminated by addition of a base such as sodium alkoxide in a suitable solvent. The alkoxide is incorporated into the polymer as an endgroup. This endgroup is determined analytically after isolation and purification of the polymer. The incorporation of alkoxy endgroups into the polymer is a proof of the occurrence of polymer chains with cationic chain ends. It was shown by this method that crystalline trioxane, polymerized by γ-rays at 60°C, contains polyoxymethylene cations. It is assumed that with these cationic active centers propagation is similar to polymerizations initiated by LEWIS acids. Anionic chain ends can be detected by an analogous way. Polymerizations are terminated by addition of excess alkyl iodide which produces alkoxy endgroups from the anionic chain ends. Surprisingly, in the radiation-induced polymerization of crystalline trioxane some anionic chain ends were also found in the polymer. It is assumed that these anions do not propagate and that they are only counter-ions of the propagating cationic chain ends.
