    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. Aminoguanidine, a potent anti-glycation reagent, is known to be beneficial in experimental diabetic neuropathy. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of how aminoguanidine inhibits neuropathic changes in diabetes and compared its effects with those of insulin treatment. Methods. Wistar rats, aged 8 weeks, were made diabetic by streptozotocin and given aminoguanidine dissolved in drinking water (1 g/l) for 8 weeks. Effects of daily insulin (protamine-zinc) treatment were also examined for comparison. At the end of the 8 weeks, we examined the peripheral nerve function and (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity and their relation to serum thrombomodulin concentrations that are considered as a marker of endothelial injury. Results. Aminoguanidine treatment reduced the diabetes-induced decrease in tibial nerve conduction velocity by 47 % (p 〈 0.05 vs untreated diabetic rats) and inhibited the loss of sciatic nerve (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity by 54 % (p 〈 0.05 vs untreated diabetic rats). Insulin-treatment of diabetic rats restored these variables by 83 % and 75 %, respectively (both, p 〈 0.01 vs untreated diabetic rats). Thrombomodulin concentrations were increased (p 〈 0.01) in diabetic rats compared with those in non-diabetic controls and unaffected by aminoguanidine treatment. In contrast, the concentrations remained within the normal range in the insulin-treated group. Conclusion/interpretation. Although aminoguanidine treatment improved nerve conduction velocity and (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity, its effects were considerably less than those of insulin and were not apparent in some measures of endothelial cell injury.

    Notes: Summary The dynamics of cell-associated Concanavalin A (Con A) in astrocytes of the newborn rat (RNA), the rat glioma (AC), and the human glioblastoma (GB) were studied in vitro by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Con A receptors on the cell surface were seen usually as a continuous thin layer, and Con A accumulations in fluorescence microscopy were actually Con A receptors on complicatedly infolded cell membrane and collection of Con A pinosomes. No capping occurred in the three types of glial cells. The translational movement of Con A receptors on the cell surface was rapid in the AC, slow in the RNA, and intermediate in the GB, and partly associated with Con A internalization. Con A pinosomes were more numerous in the RNA compared with those in the AC and the GB. Colchicine accelerated the translational mobility of surface Con A receptors more markedly in the AC and the GB than in the RNA. The translational movement Con A receptors, when treated with cytochalasin B, was retarded in the RNA and the GB and rather accelerated in the AC. Con A pinosomes were decreased in the three types of glial cells by treatment with colchicine or cytochalasin B.

    Notes: Abstract The relationship was investigated between biochemical and morphological changes in chloroform (CHCl3)- and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver damage. The time courses of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) content, hepatic microsomal CYP2E1 activity, hepatic reduced glutathione (GSH) content, plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities were examined in relation to the liver morphology in rats orally treated with CHCl3 or CCl4 (3.35 mmol/kg). The CYP content and the activity of CYP2E1 markedly decreased in the CCl4-treated rats 3 h after treatment compared to much lower decreases in the CHCl3-treated rats. The hepatic GSH content was decreased to a similar extent in both groups of rats at 3 h after treatment; in the CCl4-treated rats, the GSH content continued to decrease, reaching a minimum at 24 h and without attaining the normal level at 72 h after treatment. By contrast, hepatic GSH content in the CHCl3-treated rats began to increase from 6 h, attaining complete recovery 48 h after treatment. Plasma ALT and AST activities were significantly elevated by CCl4 as early as 3 h after treatment, while the activities in the CHCl3-treated rats did not increase until 6 h after treatment. In both groups of rats, ALT and AST activities reached a maximum at 24 h, and gradually decreased, remaining at abnormal levels at 72 h. Hepatic cells in the CCl4-treated rats were found to be necrotic as early as 3 h post-treatment, whereas few or no morphological changes appeared in the liver of CHCl3-treated rats. The extent of necrosis was at a maximum 24 h after treatment in both CHCl3- and CCl4-treated rats. In addition, some necrotic cells remained in the liver of CCl4-treated rats 72 h after treatment, while the necrosis in the CHCl3-treated rats was almost negligible. The present results indicate that almost the same time-courses of biochemical and morphological changes were followed in rats of both the CHCl3- and CCl4-treated groups.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: The present study was conducted to compare pharmacokinetic behaviors of nicardipine enantiomers given in different doses with different formulations of racemic nicardipine in healthy volunteers. Methods: One or two 20-mg racemic nicardipine tablets, and a 40-mg sustained-release capsule of nicardipine were administered to eight healthy volunteers in a cross-over fashion and pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated. Enantiomer concentrations were determined by GC-MS combined with chiral stationary phase HPLC. Results and conclusions: Serum concentration of (+)-nicardipine was approximately 2–3 times higher than that of (−)-nicardipine in 20- and 40-mg doses of conventional formulations and a non-linear increase in bioavailability with dose was demonstrated. The value for AUC of (+)-nicardipine was approximately 2.3–2.8 times greater than that of the (−)-nicardipine (P 〈 0.05) when 20 and 40 mg racemic nicardipine were administered in a conventional preparation. Relative bioavailability of the sustained-release preparation vs the conventional preparation was 28% and 44% for (+)- and (−)-nicardipine, respectively, for the 40-mg dose.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: We investigated whether interindividual differences in the pharmacokinetic disposition of lansoprazole are attributed to the genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 which occurred by two mutations, CYP2C19m1 and CYP2C19m2, in 20 Japanese subjects. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphism procedures were used to detect the CYP2C19m1 mutation in exon 5 and the CYP2C19m2 mutation in exon 4 using SmaI and BamHI, respectively. Results: Ten subjects were homozygous (wt/wt subjects) for the wt allele in both exon 5 and exon 4, four subjects were heterozygous (wt/m1) for the CYP2C19m1 mutation, and two subjects were heterozygous (wt/m2) for the CYP2C19m2. The remaining four subjects had both mutated alleles in CYP2C19 genes, i.e., two were homozygous (m1/m1) for the defect in exon 5 and two were heterozygous (m1/m2) for the two defects in exons 5 and 4. The subjects in group 1 (wt/wt, wt/m1 and wt/m2) were the extensive metabolizers (EMs) for 5-hydroxylation of lansoprazole and were in the range of hydroxylation indexes from 3.83 to 19.8, whereas the subjects in group 2 (m1/m1 and m1/m2) were the poor metabolizers (PMs) and the indexes were in the range of 38.5 to 47.6. In group 2, AUC, t1/2 and CL/f of lansoprazole were significantly greater, longer, and lower, respectively, than those in group 1. Conclusion: The hydroxylation of lansoprazole to 5-hydroxylansoprazole was apparently impaired in the subjects with the genetic defects of CYP2C19 (m1/m1 or m1/m2).

    Notes: Summary The effect of haemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics of oral famotidine has been studied in five elderly anuric patients. Famotidine 20 mg was administered in a cross-over design to patients on and not on haemodialysis. The elimination rate constant of haemodialysis (k) was 4.6-fold larger than the systemic elimination rate constant (ke). Although the mean maximum serum concentration of famotidine during haemodialysis (141.5 ng·ml−1) was not significantly lower than that without haemodialysis (195.6 ng·ml−1), the AUC up to 5 h during haemodialysis was significantly decreased to 58.1% of the value without it. The data suggest that famotidine is dialysable by haemodialysis.

    Notes: Abstract Serum (+)- and (-)-nicardipine concentrations were determined after oral administration of racemic nicardipine, and the relationship between the concentration of each enantiomer and the percentage change in blood pressure was investigated. Serum concentrations of (+)-and (-)-nicardipine were assayed separately by a method combining high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with gas chromatography — mass spectrometry (GS-MS). Linear relationships were found with serum concentrations of 0.25–80 mg·ml−1 for both enantiomers of nicardipine with correlation coefficients of greater than 0.999. A single oral dose of 40 mg racemic nicardipine was given to 15 patients with essential hypertension. Serum (+)-nicardipine concentration was 2–3 times higher than the concentration of (-)-nicardipine 1, 2, and 3 after drug administration. The logarithmically transformed value of the serum (+)-nicardipine concentration was inversely correlated with the percentage change in systolic blood pressure, the correlation being statistically significant 1 and 2 h after drug administration, and also inversely correlated with the percentage change in diastolic blood pressure 1, 2 and 3 h after drug administration. However, the logarithmically transformed value of serum (-)-nicardipine showed no significant correlations with the percentage change in either systolic or diastolic blood pressure.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the pharmacokinetics of tulobuterol given transdermally or by aerosol inhalation in healthy male volunteers. Tulobuterol was rapidly absorbed after inhalation, with a tmax of 0.8–1.5 h. The Cmax and the AUC increased linearly with dose. Tulobuterol was well absorbed after transdermal administration, with an absorption lag-time of about 4 h. The Cmax and AUC increased linearly with dose and the tmax was about 9–12 h. The mean percentage of drug absorbed during the application of a patch for 24 h was 82–90% after a single dose and 82–85% during repeated dosing. The mean urinary recoveries as unchanged drug after a single inhalation and patch application were 3–4% and 5–6% respectively. Tulobuterol did not accumulate during repeated inhalation or transdermal application. It was well tolerated, except for an increase in heart rate of 10–20 beats · min−1 after five repeated applications of a 4 mg patch.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of the H2-receptor antagonist famotidine, after oral administration of a 20 mg tablet, has been studied in 10 elderly patients with normal renal function (CLCR≧59 ml·min−1, Mean=80 ml·min−1), 5 elderly patients with renal insufficiency (CLCR≦38 ml·min−1, Mean=15 ml·min−1), and 6 healthy young volunteers. Elimination half-life in the elderly patients with renal insufficiency was significantly prolonged compared to the elderly patients with normal renal function and the young volunteers. The correlation coefficient between creatinine clearance and the elimination rate constant of famotidine was 0.672. Mean urinary recovery of unchanged drug up to 24 h in the young volunteers was 44%. The mean renal clearance of famotidine in the young volunteers (270 ml·min−1) was substantially greater than the creatinine clearance, 128 ml·min−1, which suggests the possibility of tubular secretion of famotidine.
