    Notes: Summary Melatonin concentrations in serum and urine were examined following oral administration of melatonin to dogs. Four different doses of melatonin ranging from 10 to 80 mg per kg of body weight were given. Melatonin was rapidly absorbed and reached a maximum serum level after 20–30 min, with a distribution phase of 3.5 hours and elimination half life (t1/2) of 5 hours. The fraction excreted in the urine was 0.25% of the administrated dose during the first 5 hours. These results as well as the diurnal rhythm of serum melatonin in the dog are similar to corresponding data reported in the human.

    Notes: Summary Dichloroacetate decreases plasma glucose, lactate, and alanine concentrations in normal and diabetic subjects, and lowers lactate concentrations and increases survival in animals with experimentally induced lactic acidosis. The relationship between these effects and plasma dichloroacetate concentrations have not been previously studied in man. Dichloroacetate (1–50 mg/kg) was infused over 30 min to 16 healthy subjects and plasma drug concentrations were followed by gas chromatography over the next 8 h. Peak plasma concentrations were linearly related to the dose (r = 0.98, p〈0.001) up to 30 mg/kg, above which 4 of 7 subjects had disproportionately high plasma drug concentrations. Nonlinear disposition was also indicated by the convex decreasing plasma elimination curves; levels declining less rapidly initially than later. At plasma concentrations below 10 μg/ml, elimination was monoexponential with a half-life of 32±11 min (mean±SD). Plasma drug clearance also decreased with doses greater than 20 mg/kg. Within 2 h of administration of the maximally effective dichloroacetate dose of 35 mg/kg, plasma lactate concentrations fell 75% below baseline and alanine fell 50% below baseline, while blood glucose was unaffected.

    Notes: Summary Pharmacokinetic analysis of the plasma valproic acid concentration-time course, following a single oral dose (600 mg) of sodium valproate, was performed in 20 epileptic patients as an aid to the prediction of a proper chronic dosage regimen. A simple one-compartment model was found inadequate to describe the drug concentration-time course in 15 of the 20 patients studied. The average elimination (β phase) half-life of 9 h was shorter than that previously reported in healthy subjects. The latter observation and the wide variation in plasma valproic acid clearance observed between patients (0.09–0.53 ml/kg/min) may have been related to its altered disposition by concomitant anticonvulsant therapy. Sodium valproate maintenance therapy, determined by single-dose pharmacokinetic prediction of steady-state plasma valproic acid levels, did not require dosage adjustment because of unwanted effects. However, the occurrence of drug-related adverse events led to dosage reduction in 4 of 9 patients whose chronic therapy was not pharmacokinetically predicted. Moreover, the pharmacokinetic variability demonstrated for sodium valproate by patients on multiple therapy, whose chronic sodium valproate therapy was pharmacokinetically predicted, indicates the value of monitoring plasma valproic acid levels for the regulation of anticonvulsant therapy.

    Notes: Summary The metabolic and haemodynamic effects of three intravenous doses (0.5, 1.0 and 4.0 mg) of prenalterol, a selective β1-adrenoceptor agonist, were studied in 10 healthy male subjects. Plasma levels of prenalterol during the experiments were related to the haemodynamic effects. Prenalterol induced a dose-dependent increase in systolic blood pressure and heart rate. The maximal effects amounted to about 30 mm Hg and 15 beats/min, respectively, after the highest dose (4.0 mg). The diastolic blood pressure fell by a maximum of about 15 mm Hg. The effect of prenalterol on systolic blood pressure and heart rate persisted for about 3 h after the end of the last infusion, whereas that on diastolic blood pressure only lasted for 60 min. Compared with placebo, there was a moderate increase in plasma FFA and glycerol. A small rise in insulin level was also recorded, but no significant change was seen in other metabolic variables — triglycerides, glucose, lactate, pyruvate. Serum potassium tended to decrease and serum sodium was unchanged. The initial distribution of prenalterol was rapid (half-life 7 min) and the overall elimination rate corresponded to a plasma half-life of 2 h. A linear relationship was found between the plasma level of prenalterol and its effects on systolic blood pressure and heart rate.

    Notes: Summary The systemic availability of a new antidepressant, zimelidine, and of its pharmacologically active metabolite, norzimelidine, was studied in six healthy male volunteers. Three single doses of zimelidine (25 mg and 100 mg orally and 25 mg i.v.) and two single doses of norzimelidine (25 mg orally and i. v.) were given to each volunteer allowing at least seven days between administrations. Plasma concentrations of zimelidine and norzimelidine were determined in serial blood samples by HPLC. Following oral zimelidine peak plasma concentrations of the metabolite were attained about 3 h after dosing. Oral administration of norzimelidine itself resulted in a plasma concentration profile for this compound that was similar to that observed after oral zimelidine. Utilising the plasma concentration data following intravenous infusion of each compound, the elimination half-lives for zimelidine and norzimelidine were calculated to be 5.1 h (range 4.3–6.0) and 15.5 h (range 10.6–22.9) respectively. The total body clearances of the 2 compounds were similar at 0.52 l · min−1 (range 0.26–0.70) for zimelidine and 0.56 l · min−1 (range 0.28–0.83) for norzimelidine. The substantially longer elimination half-life of norzimelidine was apparently the result of a larger volume of distribution (9.4 l · kg−1; range 7.8–11.4) for this metabolite, as compared to zimelidine (3.21 · kg−1; range 1.6–4.9). The calculated bioavailability of zimelidine was 26% (range 9.1–39) after the 25 mg oral dose, and 29% (range 14–46) after the 100 mg dose. The bioavailability of norzimelidine was 66% (range 36–91). However, oral administration of zimelidine resulted in as much or more norzimelidine reaching the systemic circulation, as the oral administration of norzimelidine itself. This is important as a large part of the activity of the drug may be due to the metabolite.

    Notes: Summary A high performance thin layer chromatographic assay for dapsone is described with a minimum level of detection of 20 ng ml−1 which is suitable for the study of dapsone pharmacokinetics in plasma and saliva. 100 mg dapsone was administered orally to seven normal adult volunteers, the mean plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were: α=0.23 h−1; β=0.0236 h−1, and t1/2β=30.2 h. Dapsone is also eliminated into the saliva and the t1/2 may be determined via its estimation in saliva. It is 73% bound to plasma protein and the saliva/plasma concentration ratio was found to be 27%. In two subjects the free plasma dapsone concentration was identical to the simultaneous salivary dapsone concentration. Therefore the salivary dapsone concentration is a measure of the free plasma fraction of dapsone. Saliva/plasma dapsone concentration ratios show no time or concentration dependence and little inter-individual variation but are unsuitable for acetylator phenotype determination because monoacetyldapsone is not eliminated in the saliva.

    Notes: Summary Ten hypertensive patients with moderate to severe impairment of renal function were treated with sotalol for 5 to 10 weeks (average 6.4 weeks). Dosage was individually titrated (range 80 to 480 mg daily). The drug was given once daily in the morning. In eight patients blood pressure was satisfactorily controlled. Higher steady-state levels were observed than have been reported after similar doses in patients with normal renal function. The apparent first-order elimination rate constant and plasma clearance were significantly correlated with glomerular filtration rate. For an anuric patient, serum half-life was calculated to be 69 h. In relation to the raised plasma levels, side effects were uncommon. Since sotalol is excreted predominantly via the kidney, therapy in patients with impaired renal function should start with a low dose and any increase in dosage should be made carefully. As the anti-hypertensive effect does not appear to be correlated with the plasma level or with tolerance, adjustment of dose should be based on clinical response.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of desmethyldiazepam 20 mg or oxazepam 50 mg were studied in 5 healthy volunteers under controlled conditions, before and following a 24 h pretreatment with cimetidine 200 mg×5. Cimetidine significantly impaired (p=0.03) the elimination of desmethyldiazepam, as shown prolongation of its elimination half-life from 51.7±21.9 h to 72.6±39.4 h (mean ± SD), and a decrease in total plasma clearance from 12.0±2.7 ml/min to 8.6±3.3 ml/min. The disposition of oxazepam was not affected. From these results, and recently published data on diazepam and chlordiazepoxide, it is concluded that cimetidine impairs the hepatic elimination of those benzodiazepines which are metabolized by phase I reactions.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic behaviour of alcuronium is described for nineteen patients undergoing anaesthesia for elective surgery. Eleven patients received a single bolus intravenous dose of 0.25 mg/kg, while 8 patients required additional doses of 0.125 mg/kg. A two-compartment open model was found to describe adequately both the single dose and multiple dose data for the majority of patients. No significant differences were found in the model-independent pharmacokinetic parameters between the single and multiple dose studies. Mean values for the pooled data for the half-life (t1/2β), apparent volume of distribution (Vdβ), volume of distribution at steady-state (Vdss), volume of the central compartment (Vc) and plasma clearance (Clp) were 198.75 min, 24.261, 20.891, 8.181 and 90.22 ml/min respectively. Evoked muscle twitch response was monitored in 17 of the patients to assess the degree of relaxant blockade. The bolus dose of alcuronium produced complete block in 9 patients and between 95 and 99% block in the remainder. The time of onset to maximum block ranged from 3 to 30 min with the concurrently measured plasma levels of alcuronium being 0.79 to 2.25 µg/ml. The time taken following bolus administration to 5% recovery (95% paralysis) was a mean of 42 min and the corresponding mean alcuronium plasma concentration was 0.78 µg/ml.

    Notes: Summary The absorption, distribution and elimination of oral paracetamol have been studied in patients before and after treatment of thyrotoxicosis (n=7) and hypothyroidism (n=4). Absorption was faster in patients with untreated thyrotoxicosis than when subsequently euthyroid. The peak paracetamol concentration, however, was lower in thyrotoxic patients due to an apparent increase in the total body clearance and a shorter plasma half-life. Both absorption and elimination rates were reduced in hypothyroid patients, but were not significantly different from the euthyroid results. When estimated using a two compartment model the total volume of distribution and the hybrid distribution rate constants were unrelated to thyroid status, but the apparent volume of the central compartment was significantly greater in the thyrotoxic group. These changes in drug disposition may contribute to differences in drug response seen in thyroid disease.

    Notes: Summary 2-(p-methylallylaminophenyl) propionic acid, alminoprofene (INN), a new antalgic drug, was administered orally to men as a single (300 mg) and multiple doses (300 mg three times daily). Plasma and urine concentrations of alminoprofene were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. After the single oral dose, the peak plasma level (36.2 to 41.5 mg/l) was reached within 0.5–1.5 h. The biological half-life ranged from 2.5 to 3.2 h. During chronic administration of alminoprofene, steady-state equilibrium quilibrium was etablished within 24 h. The urinary excretion of alminoprofene as unchanged product and as glucuronide was very important.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of pyridostigmine was evaluated after intravenous injection in two healthy male volunteers and after oral administration to five subjects. Plasma concentrations of pyridostigmine were determined after ion pair extraction from plasma and analysis by gas chromatography — mass spectrometry with chemical ionization, using d6-pyridostigmine as internal standard. Degradation of pyridostigmine in vitro was compensated for by use of the deuterated internal standard and by rapid cooling and separation of plasma after blood sampling. After intravenous administration of pyridostigmine 2.5 mg the plasma elimination half-life was 1.52 h, the volume of distribution was 1.43 l/kg and the plasma clearance 0.65 l/kg × h. The pharmacokinetic constants were very similar after oral administration of pyridostigmine 120 mg; the elimination half-life was 1.78±0.24 h, the volume of distribution 1.64±0.29 l/kg and the plasma clearance was 0.66±0.22 l/kg × h. The bioavailability was calculated to be 7.6±2.4%. When pyridostigmine was taken together with food, the time to reach the peak plasma concentration was prolonged from 1.7 to 3.2 h. Bioavailability, however, was not influenced by concomitant food intake. “Steady-state” plasma concentrations of pyridostigmine were measured in myasthenic patients on their ordinary dose schedule of cholinesterase inhibitor drugs. More than a seven-fold difference in steady-state plasma concentration was found between patients taking approximately the same daily dose of pyridostigmine.

    Notes: Summary In 15 acutely ill asthmatics the steady-state serum theophylline concentration was predicted by the method of Chiou et al. using two serum concentration measurements obtained 1 and 5h after starting a continuous infusion of aminophylline. Two theophylline assays with different precision characteristics were compared. With a precise HPLC-assay the prediction was excellent: prediction error (predicted minus measured concentration)=−0.22±1.97 mg/l (mean ± SD); r=0.922. When the theophylline concentration was determined by a rapid enzyme immunoassay of lower precision, but convenient for clinical use, the prediction was less accurate (prediction error=0.58±3.88, r=0.852). However, it was still clearly superior to dosing recommendations based on the population average of theophylline clearance, even after taking into consideration the effect of smoking, congestive heart failure and cirrhosis (prediction error=3.62±13.36, r=0.560). As employed in this study, the method may be useful in helping the physician to choose the optimal dose in severely ill asthmatics.

    Notes: Summary The possibility of a pharmacokinetic interaction between two hypolipidemic drugs, colestipol, an ion exchange resin, and fenofibrate, a phenoxyacid derivative, was studied in 6 male volunteers. The investigation followed a four-step protocol during 18 days, and relied on determination of plasma and urinary levels of fenofibric acid, the active metabolite of fenofibrate. The kinetics of a single dose of fenofibrate 300 mg was established over 3 days. Thereafter, from Days 4 to 9 fenofibrate was given daily as 200 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening; the plasma fenofibric acid level reached about 10 µg/ml. From Days 9 to 15 the same dose of fenofibrate was administered together with colestipol 10 g in the morning and 5 g in the evening. Plasma fenofibric acid concentrations remained unchanged and the 24 h urinary excretion of fenofibric acid did not fall. On Day 15, a last single dose of fenofibrate 300 mg was given with colestipol 15 g. The pharmacokinetic pattern of fenofibric acid on Days 15 to 18 did not differ significantly from that found previously (Days 1 to 3). From these results, it is likely that there is no pharmacokinetic interaction between the two hypolipidemic drugs.

    Notes: Summary The elimination of diuretics and methylxanthines is considerably slower in the neonate than in the adult. Dose guidelines, especially during long term maintenance, must be adjusted to account for this slower drug elimination. Pharmacokinetic studies and the requisite pharmacologic evaluation on diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone, ethacrynic acid and others should be done. Furosemide undergoes biotransformation in the newborn producing an acid metabolite and a glucuronide conjugate. Methylxanthines are effective in the treatment of neonatal apnea. Plasma elimination of theophylline is exceedingly slow, more so with caffeine. Decreased elimination is partly explained by decreased oxidative biotransformation. Caffeine is excreted in the urine of the newborn mainly unchanged (85%) in contrast to the adult where caffeine is a minor portion of urinary excretion (2%). Theophylline is methylated to caffeine and may possibly exert additive pharmacologic effects.

    Notes: Summary Ampicillin (500 mg) was administered intravenously (i. v.) and orally to a small panel of young and elderly subjects in a cross-over fashion. Plasma concentrations of ampicillin were measured by a fluorimetric technique for 8 h following dosage. A two compartment-open model was used to characterise the plasma concentration-time data for the intravenous study, and a one compartment-open model incorporating an absorption lag time and a first-order absorption rate constant for the oral data. Plasma clearance after i. v. ampicillin was found to be significantly decreased in the elderly (P〈0.05, 0.08 1 h−1kg−1 versus 0.18 1 h−1kg−1), and half life and area under the plasma level-time curve were significantly increased (P〈0.05, 6.70 h versus 1.68 h, t1/2β; p〈0.01, 176.51 µg·h ml−1 versus 37.88 µg·h ml−1, AUC o ∞ ) as compared to the young. No sigificant differences were observed between the age groups for the volume of distribution terms and the changes in drug handling noted in the elderly were attributed to a decrease in the renal elimination of ampicillin. Following oral administration a significant increase in t1/2β, AUC o ∞ and the maximum plasma concentration (Cpmax P〈0.01, 6.59 µg ml−1 versus 3.42 µg ml−1) of ampicillin was found in the elderly subjects. These findings were similarly attributed to a decrease in drug elimination in the aged, since no apparent age differences were noted in the pharmacokinetic parameters governing both rate and extent of ampicillin absorption.

    Notes: Summary 18 subjects were given isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) 5 mg sublingually and serum concentrations of ISDN, 2-isosorbide mononitrate (2-ISMN) and 5-isosorbide mononitrate (5-ISMN) were measured, as well as changes in digital plethysmographic amplitude, heart rate, ECG, blood pressure and Schellong's test. ISDN was rapidly absorbed and metabolized, having an elimination half-life of 29 min. Its metabolites 2-ISMN and 5-ISMN had longer half-lives of 1.75 and 7.6 h respectively. The amplitude of the α-wave of the digital plethysmograph did not change significantly either in the predrug period or after placebo administration. It increased within 4 min of administration of ISDN, and reached a maximum after 14 min; the effect lasted for about 2 h. ISDN lowers blood pressure and increases heart rate in most volunteers, but in 3 of the 18 subjects severe hypotension occurred, accompanied by severe, reversible bradycardia, which was probably due to vagal reflexes initiated by the markedly diminished ventricular enddiastolic volume (LVEDV) and pressure (LVEDP). No correlation could be demonstrated between the serum concentration of ISDN and/or its vasoactive metabolites and changes in plethysmographic amplitude.

Plasma concentrations were first determined following intravenous administration of Ketogin® 2 ml, containing ketobemidone chloride 10 mg and the spasmolytic N,N-dimethyl-3,3-diphenyl-1-methylallylamine chloride 50 mg, and then, on the second postoperative day, following oral administration of 2 tablets of Ketogin®, each containing ketobemidone chloride 5 mg and the spasmolytic agent 25 mg. The average oral bioavailability of ketobemidone was 34%±16% (SD, n=6). The mean plasma half-life of elimination (t1/2β) was about the same following oral (2.45±0.73 h; SD, n=5) as after intravenous administration (2.25±0.35 h; SD, n=6). The low oral bioavailability and rapid elimination of ketobemidone demonstrated in this study suggest that the usual dosage recommendation for oral Ketogin® (ketobemidone 5–10 mg every 6–7 h) in patients with severe pain is too low.

    Notes: Summary Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles for metoprolol have been measured in six healthy volunteers after single and multiple dosing with 100 mg conventional formulation twice daily and 200 mg slow-release formulation once daily. Both multidose regimes produced measurable predosing plasma concentrations of metoprolol. The plasma concentrations on the eighth day were greater than predicted by the single-dose data as indicated by the comparison of the total areas under the curve for the single dose and the dosage interval areas during multiple dosing. This increase may be associated with a change in the bioavailability and/or clearance of the drug and is currently being investigated. The peak concentrations for the two regimens were comparable but the times to peak with the slow-release regimen were significantly delayed. Both regimes produced significant beta-blocking effects over 24 h during multiple dosing, the reductions in exercise heart rate at 0 and 24 h on the eighth day corresponding to more than 20% of the maximum effect. Resting pulse rates and blood pressures were affected to a similar extent by the two regimens but neither significantly altered respiratory peak flow rates. The effects during multiple dosing were generally greater than those after a single dose and appeared to follow a more consistent trend. This observation, together with those for the plasma level data on the eighth day, illustrate the importance of performing multiple-dose studies in assessing beta-blocking drugs.

    Notes: Summary Eight patients were given flunitrazepam 2 mg orally, once daily for 28 consecutive days. The time-course of the plasma concentration of unchanged flunitrazepam and its principal metabolites were studied in detail after the first and last doses. Additional blood samples were collected immediately before administration of the tablet on days 4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21 and 25. Clinically there were no changes during the trial period in the onset of sleep, duration of sleep, depth of sleep measured as number of spontaneous awakenings, or in the patients' condition on awakening. The time-course of the plasma concentration of flunitrazepam could be described by a three-compartment model, assuming that the rate constants remained unchanged during treatment. Maximal plasma concentrations of unchanged flunitrazepam, found two hours after intake, reached 10–15 ng/ml after the first and 15–20 ng/ml after the last dose. The β-half-life was found to be between 20 and 36 h.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of chlormethiazole after oral and intravenous administration was studied in six healthy volunteers and eight patients with alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. Plasma concentration-time curve after the intravenous infusion could adequately be described by two- or three-compartment open models both in healthy volunteers and in the patients. Based on the areas under the plasma concentration-time curves, the systemic bioavailability of oral chlormethiazole was about ten times greater in the patients than in healthy controls. The elimination of chlormethiazole was relatively less retarded in the patients, as indicated by a decrease of about 30% in its plasma clearance. In the patients the plasma protein binding of chlormethiazole was decreased, but the volume of distribution and half-life of elimination were unchanged. The increase in bioavailability of chlormethiazole was associated with significant alteration in the serum levels of bilirubin, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin-proconvertin activity (P + P) and elimination rate of antipyrine or14C-aminopyrine. The increased bioavailability of oral chlormethiazole was due to impaired first-pass metabolism in the cirrhotic liver. A considerable reduction in dose seems to be indicated if oral chlormethiazole is used in patients with advanced cirrhosis of the liver. A substantial fraction of dose, averaging 15%, was lost during the intravenous infusion, presumably due to adsorption to the infusion tubing.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of naproxen after a single oral dose of 250 mg has been studied in 8 subjects with normal renal function and 16 patients with varying degrees of chronic renal insufficiency. Unchanged naproxen and its main unconjugated metabolite, 6-0-desmethylnaproxen, were determined fluorometrically in serum. In healthy subjects the elimination half-life of naproxen was 17.7± 3.0 h (mean±SD) and it was not significantly prolonged in patients with renal failure (18.1±5.3) h. No accumulation of naproxen in serum occurred in uraemic patients. On the contrary, serum drug levels were slightly but significantly lower in patients with severe renal failure. The total body clearance and apparent volume of distribution of naproxen were significantly increased in this group of patients. Decreased binding of naproxen to serum proteins was observed in patients with renal failure. The apparent half-life of desmethylnaproxen was of the same order of magnitude as that of naproxen (18.6± 4.4 h), and was also independent of renal function. A good correlation was found between the area under the curve (AUC), the peak concentration of the metabolite and the serum creatinine concentration. These observations suggest increased metabolism and an increased apparent volume of distribution of naproxen in severe renal failure, probably caused by decreased serum protein binding of the drug. However, it is proposed that in naproxen therapy no adjustment of the dosage regimen is necessary in patients with impaired renal function.

    Notes: Summary Serum concentrations of cis (Z)-flupentixol have been estimated in three male human volunteers who received cis (Z)-flupentixol by intravenous infusion, flupentixol (cis (Z)/trans (E) mixture, 1:1) orally as single and repeated doses, and i. m. cis (Z)-flupentixol decanoate in Viscoleo®. The intravenous data show that cis (Z)-flupentixol followed a multicompartment model, but it was not possible to fit the data to a two or three compartment model. The concentration curves after oral administration indicated relatively slow absorption with a peak concentration at 3–6 h, except for one case with peak at 1 h. The variation in the dosage interval after one daily oral administration was relatively limited (1.7–3.0 times), which indicates that 24 h is a reasonable dosage interval. Biological half-lives were estimated in different ways and showed some intra-individual variation; the half-life was of medium length (19–39 h). The serum concentrations after intramuscular injection of cis (Z)-flupentixol decanoate clearly demonstrated a depot effect, with a maximal concentration at 3–5 days after injection. The descending part of the serum curves allowed an approximate estimation of half-life of 3–8 days. This was not the elimination half-life, but in all probability the half-life of release of drug from the oil depot which was the rate-limiting step. From the areas under the serum concentration curves the fraction of orally administered cis (Z)-flupentixol available to the organism was calculated to be 55% (range 48–60%). The loss of drug might have been due to imcomplete absorption, but it is more likely that cis (Z)-flupentixol underwent first-pass metabolism in the gut wall and the liver. As the tablets contained about 50% cis (Z)-flupentixol, while the depot preparation contained 74% cis (Z)-flupentixol, the pharmacokinetically equivalent doses are: 10 mg tablet daily corresponds to 25 mg depot weekly. Calculation of systemic clearance gave values of 0.44–0.49 l/min, and an apparent volume of distribution was 12.5–17.2 l/kg.

    Notes: Summary To show whether repeated administration of atenolol for several days would influence its pharmacokinetic parameters and the extent and duration of the pharmacologic responses, the plasma level of atenolol and changes in heart rate, blood pressure and plasma renin activity were measured in 12 hypertensive patients at various times of day (9 a. m., 12 noon, 3 p. m. and 7 p. m.) after oral administration of the first dose of atenolol 100 mg, again during the 7th and 14th days of continued once-daily administration of the same dose, and finally during the three days following withdrawal of the drug. The peak plasma concentration of atenolol (about 600 ng/ml) was found 3 h after administration of the first dose, and measurable amounts (50–70 ng/ml) were found after 24 h. None of the pharmacokinetic characteristics were changed by administration of a single daily dose for two weeks. After withdrawal of the drug, detectable amounts of atenolol were found in plasma for at least 48 h. The first dose of atenolol caused prompt (3 h) and prolonged (up to 24 h) lowering of supine and standing systolic and diastolic blood pressures, slowing of supine and standing heart rate, reduction of the blood pressure and heart rate responses to dynamic exercise, and a decrease in plasma renin activity. The extent and time-course of all these responses were not influenced by repeated once-daily administration of the 100 mg dose for two weeks. Most of the effects continued during the withdrawal days, the lowering of blood pressure being somewhat more prolonged than the slowing of heart rate. It is concluded that a once-daily dose of atenolol 100 mg decreases blood pressure and heart rate throughout the following 24 h, without excessive daily fluctuation in its effects, and without signs of tolerance or accumulation.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of acebutolol was studied in 10 healthy subjects with normal renal function (RN), in 13 patients with various degrees of renal failure (RI) and in 8 patients undergoing repeated haemodialysis (RD). A highly specific method was used to measure acebutolol (A) and N-acetylmetabolite (NAM). In RN the decrease in plasma levels was biexponential with an apparent plasma half lives in the slow phase of A: 8.8±2.3 h and NAM: 11.4±2.2 h. The percentage of the dose excreted unchanged was 13.9% and as NAM 25.8%. Renal clearances were A: 167±20 ml/min and NAM: 150±18 ml/min. The apparent plasma half life of acebutolol does not change according to the degree of renal insufficiency (RI: 7.0±2.7 h, RD: 7.5±2.7 h), while that of NAM is increased (RI: 21.5±10.1 h, RD: 32.3±16.8 h). There is a linear relationship between the apparent elimination rate constant of NAM and creatinine clearance (r=0.832,p〈0.001). In RI 21.7% of the dose is excreted in urine (A 5.0%, NAM 16.7%). When renal function is impaired, the renal clearance of A and NAM decrease in parallel with the creatinine clearance (A: r=0.874,p〈0.001; NAM: r=0.954,p〈0.001). During dialysis the plasma half life fell (A=3.4±0.9 h, NAM=7.4±2.6 h). The dialytic clearance was A: 42.6±12.7 ml/min and NAM: 40.4±16.3 ml/min, for a blood flow of 238±35 ml/min through a dialyser with a cuprophane membrane (Ultraflo II Travenol). Acebutolol is taken up by erythrocytes (λbc=0.50±0.04). The results suggest that the dosage of acebutolol should be adjusted according to the degree of renal insufficiency.

    Notes: Summary Variation in the systemic disposition of theophylline after ingestion of a new microcrystalline product (Theolair®) has been investigated in 7 hospitalized patients with generalized obstructive lung disease. Disposition (absolute bioavailability) was determined by comparing in the same patients the areas under the serum concentration-time curves after a single oral dose of microcrystalline theophylline and after an intravenous infusion of aminophylline. Oral absorption appeared to be fast. The half-life of absorption was 19±9 min (mean±SD). Maximal serum concentrations reached after 100±30 min were found to be in a rather narrow range: 9.8±2.5 mg · 1−1. The absolute bioavailability of the microcrystalline preparation was high and it showed only small variation: 102.7±10.2% of the dose. Relevant pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life of elimination, volume of distribution and total body clearance) were determined after both routes of administration. Individual dosage regimens required to obtain a therapeutic serum concentration were calculated for each individual patient on the basis of the observed pharmacokinetic parameters.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of propranolol in 16 hypertensive patients was compared after the first oral dose of 80 mg and during chronic treatment with 80 mg bd. The degree of beta-adrenergic blockade was estimated by the reduction in maximal exercise heart rate. No significant change in plasma half-life occurred and there was no correlation between the mean steady-state propranolol concentration and beta-adrenergic blockade or antihypertensive effect. A linear relationship was observed between the decrease in blood pressure and the reduction in heart rate during maximal exercise. Therefore, the antihypertensive effect of propranolol can be explained by its peripheral beta-adrenergic blocking properties.

    Notes: Summary The influence of a standardized breakfast on the single dose (5 mg) kinetics and effects of glipizide was examined in 9 healthy volunteers and in 14 diabetics not previously exposed to a sulfonylurea. In the volunteers, glipizide caused an increase in plasma insulin and a reduction in blood glucose both during continued fasting and when the drug was taken with the breakfast. Food intake did not influence the peak concentration, the elimination half-life or the bioavailability of the drug. However, food intake significantly delayed the absorption of glipizide by about 0.5 h. In the patients, glipizide produced a significant increase in plasma insulin and a significant diminution of the rise in blood glucose in response to the meal. Starting at breakfast and for 45 min thereafter serum glipizide concentrations were significantly higher when the drug was taken 0.5 h before the meal, than when ingested concurrently with it. With the former treatment, the increase in plasma insulin occurred earlier and the blood glucose reduction was pronouncedly greater than with the latter treatment. As the absorption of glipizide may be delayed by concurrent breakfast, this may help to explain, why the administration of glipizide 0.5 h before breakfast led to a more appropriate relation between the serum concentration of the drug and the metabolic impact of the meal, thereby promoting more appropriate insulin release and better glucose disposition than after concurrent intake of the drug and breakfast.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of Dibekacin were studied in 10 patients with terminal renal impairment (creatinine clearance 〈5 ml/min) undergoing haemodialysis sessions lasting 4 h. The dialyzers were either the Gambro Lundia Major 13.5 or the Ultra Flo II 1.4., and the patients were divided into two groups according to the dialyzer used. Blood flow varied between 250 and 280 ml/min and dialyzate flow between 450 and 600 ml/min. All patients received a single i. v. dose of Dibekacin 1.5 mg/kg at the beginning of the dialysis session. The concentration of the antibiotic at the input and the output of the dialyzer were determined microbiologically by a plate diffusion method usingB. subtilis as the test organism. The intravenously administered antibiotic followed an open two-compartment kinetic model. The type of dialyzer used did not influence the dialysis of Dibekacin. Haemodialysis significantly increased the elimination rate of the antibiotic with respect to the interdialysis periods. The plasma half-life in the slow disposition phase fell from 30 h in the interdialysis period to 4.0 h during dialysis sessions. From the calculated pharmacokinetic parameters, a dosage regimen for this kind of patient is proposed.

    Notes: Summary Prenalterol was studied in six healthy volunteers given single oral doses of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg and placebo. It displayed a distinct positive inotropic action, manifested as a dose-related reduction of 16.5–27.2 msec in the pre-ejection period (PEPc; systolic time-intervals), and an increase of 4.2–5.9 Ω/sec2 in the Heather index (impedance cardiography). There was also a dose-related increase of 17.6–34.0 mmHg in systolic blood pressure, whereas diastolic pressure showed a slight, transient decrease, not related to the dose given. Heart rate rose by 5–12 beats/min. Stroke volume, as determined by impedance cardiography, increased by 24.2–28.5 ml at all three dose-levels. The effects of the drug developed rapidly, reaching their maximum within 30–60 min and lasting for about 4 h. The time-course of the effects corresponded to the plasma concentrations of the drug. The increases in systolic pressure and contractility were linearly correlated with the plasma concentrations (r=0.8−0.9,p〈0.001). The activity of prenalterol was also tested in the same volunteers after blockade of β-receptors with oxprenolol 80 mg. Under these conditions, oral doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg produced effects similar to or slightly less marked than those recorded after doses ten times lower in the absence of β-blockade. In a further 10 healthy volunteers, in whom tolerance to prenalterol was studied by repeated administration for 10 days of 5 mg four times daily, no change in blood chemistry, haematological parameters or urine values was found. The positive inotropic effect of a single oral dose of prenalterol 5 mg was also demonstrated by reference to the systolic time-intervals and the echocardiogram, in six patients with chronic heart failure, five of whom were digitalized. Prenalterol did not give rise to premature concentrations or other arrhythmias. The only untoward effect definitely attributable to the drug was palpitation, which was dose-related and as a rule was not unduly distressing; in one volunteer, however, the palpitations were unbearable. Prenalterol is a cardiostimulant agent with no direct effect on the peripheral circulation. On the basis of its pharmacological activity, it might well be of therapeutic benefit in all conditions in which an improvement in the pumping efficiency of the heart is required.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen was studied in the same healthy subjects after single oral, intramuscular and rectal doses, and after repeated oral administration. No significant difference in the mean t1/2 (1.13–1.27 h) was observed after the different modes of administration. The mean [AUC] 0 ∞ after rectal administration of a suppository showed the minimum significant difference (p〈0.05) from that after oral administration of the capsule. The apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) was approximately 10–15% of body weight. The renal contribution (mean, 0.10–0.15 ml/min/kg) to the plasma clearance of free ketoprofen was assumed to be, at most, 8.3–12.9%. The projected cumulative excretion of total (free plus conjugated) ketoprofen via urine exceeded 63–75% of the dose, of which approximately 90% was ketoprofen glucuronide. A mean of 71–96% and 73–93% of the oral capsule was estimated to be systemically available after administration of the intramuscular preparation and rectal suppository, respectively. In four of seven subjects, CPK concentration was elevated after the intramuscular injection. The mean steady-state concentration of ketoprofen in plasma ranged from 0.43 to 5.62 µg/ml after the final dose of a 50 mg q.i.d. regimen. The disposition data and plasma levels observed at steady-state were in agreement with those predicted from the single oral dose study. The accumulation ratio was 1.08±0.08. The results suggest that the rectal suppository can be recommended as an extravascular mode of administration of this drug.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of caffeine are greatly altered by concomitant administration of idrocilamide. In four healthy volunteers id rocilamide inhibited the biotransformation of caffeine and increased its half-life nine times. The untoward neuropsychiatric effects of idrocilamide are the consequence of abnormal accumulation of caffeine in regular consumers of caffeine-containing foods and beverages.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of prazosin (Minipress®) were studied in nine patients with NYHA Class 3 or 4 congestive heart failure and in five healthy controls. After a single 5 mg oral dose, plasma concentrations of prazosin, as reflected in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and prazosin plasma half-life, were approximately double in the patients in comparison to the control group. Reduction in hepatic blood flow, altered gastrointestinal absorption of the drug or diminished intrinsic hepatic metabolic activity in the patient group may have contributed to the observed changes in prazosin disposition. The finding of higher prazosin plasma concentrations in patients with refractory heart failure demonstrates the need for close monitoring of these individuals following administration of the drug in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure.

    Notes: Summary The literature data available on pethidine and norpethidine kinetics in women in labour and in their newborns is reviewed and compared with recent personal observations. In pregnant women the apparent blood half-life of pethidine is not different from that in healthy controls, however, apparent volume of distribution and total body clearance are reduced. Norpethidine blood levels are measurable after 10–20 min and tend to increase with time. The amount of drug transferred to the foetus is clearly linked to the dose administered to the mother, the dosing-delivery interval and to the metabolic capability of the mother. An equilibrium between maternal and umbilical venous blood is reached 2–3 h after dosing for pethidine and later for norpethidine. In the neonate, the apparent pethidine half-life is 2 to 7 times longer than in adults with values ranging from 7 to 32 h. Norpethidine is actively formed in the newborn with peak blood levels at 12–36 h and an apparent blood half-life of 20–36 h. At the doses usually recommended blood concentrations at birth are frequently higher than those required for analgesia and close to or within toxic ranges. An effort toward a more individualized dosage as well as toward a better understanding of the possible role of norpethidine with regard to adverse effects is needed.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacodynamic actions and disposition of diuretic and antihypertensive agents may be significantly modified in subjects with renal disease. Most studies on this question have dealt with alterations in the elimination kinetics of these drugs and, while they generate descriptive data, minimal insight about changes in dose-response relationships or mechanisms of drug action are provided by such investigations. Several basic principles which may serve as useful guidelines in determining how renal failure will influence the response to drugs have been considered. They include the following: degree of renal malfunction, intrinsic toxicity of the drug, alternative pathways for drug metabolism and elimination, elimination pharmacokinetics and dose-response characteristics. Several classes of diuretic agents (thiazides, furosemide) and antihypertensive drugs (hydralazine, methyldopa, propranolol, prazosin, and clonidine) have been used as models to define how basic knowledge of renal and non-renal pathways for elimination of drugs and their pharmacodynamic actions may assist in establishing rational therapeutic regimens for these agents in patients with renal failure.

    Notes: Summary Salivary and plasma concentrations of bromocriptine (BCT), a dopamine agonist, were measured by gas chromatography in four patients with Parkinson's disease. All the patients had been on mono-therapy with BCT for years, and during the 3 weeks prior to the investigation they received constant but individually different dosage regimens. Paired samples of pure, parotid, serous saliva and of blood were collected hourly during one eight hour dose interval. The concentrations of BCT in saliva were very low and there was a ten-fold range in the areas under the salivary and plasma concentration/time curves. It is concluded that in clinical practice measurement of BCT in saliva is not suitable for exact estimation of the plasma concentration of BCT. Using the measured salivary pH and the plasma BCT concentration, calculations based on the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation showed that the assumption of about 99% plasma protein binding of BCT best fited the observed concentrations of BCT in saliva.

    Notes: Summary The in vitro effects of equimolar concentrations (0.1, 0.33 and 1.0 mmol/l) of carbimazole, methimazole, propylthiouracil and propranolol on thyroid peroxidase activity were studied on thyroid tissue specimens obtained from euthyroid patients undergoing parathyroidectomy. In addition, the in vivo kinetics of methimazole following single dose administration (60 mg) of carbimazole and of methimazole itself were examined in 11 healthy volunteers using high-pressure liquid chromatography to measure serum methimazole. The in vitro studies were carried out at pH 6, to avoid alkaline hydrolysis of carbimazole to methimazole. Under these conditions, methimazole strongly inhibited thyroid peroxidase. Propylthiouracil had a less pronounced inhibitory effect, and carbimazole was almost and propranolol was entirely inactive. The in vivo kinetics of methimazole showed a large interindividual variation. Within individuals, there was no significant difference in the half-life or time to peak concentration of methimazole following administration of carbimazole and methimazole, respectively. However, the peak concentration and area under the curve of methimazole were significantly greater after administration of methimazole itself than after administration of carbimazole. Assuming similar bioavailability, this difference could be related to the difference in molecular weight between carbimazole and methimazole. It appears that, in man, methimazole is the most active of antithyroid agents currently available, that carbimazole is essentially inactive per se but is bioactivated to methimazole, and that carbimazole offers neither dynamic nor kinetic advantages over methimazole.

    Notes: Summary Eleven patients were treated for essential hypertension with metoprolol (Selokén®) for more than three months. The time course of changes in blood pressure, pulse rate and plasma renin activity was studied during treatment with an oral maintenance dose of 100 mg twice daily. Significant decreases in pulse rate, diastolic blood pressure and plasma renin activity were observed even after the first dose. The plasma concentration of metoprolol reached equilibrium after the second dose. After the third dose there was no further significant change in blood pressure. There was a significant correlation (p〈0.001) between the initial (after three doses) and final (after 〉90days) effect of metoprolol on blood pressure (r=0.86 and 0.91 for systolic and diastolic blood pressure change, respectively).

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of Cefadroxil have been studied in a crossover study involving 20 experiments in four healthy volunteers (19–24 years), after oral administration of five individual doses of 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 mg of the antibiotic in capsules to each person. Plasma and urine concentrations of the antibiotic were determined microbiologically by a plate diffusion method. The antibiotic followed an open, single-compartment kinetic model. The plasma half-life was not significantly influenced by dose; the average was 1.438±0.220 h. The percentage of the antibiotic excreted in urine, too, was not significantly affected by the dose, being close to 80% of the quantity originally administered within 24 h. The values of Cmax and (AUC) increased linearly with the administered dose.

    Notes: Summary Plasma concentrations and bioavailability of disopyramide following repeated administration of standard capsules and controlled-release tablets have been compared. Ten patients were randomized into two groups; Group I received disopyramide capsules 150 mg every 6 h for five days and subsequently disopyramide controlled-release tablets 300 mg every 12 h for further five days. Group II received the same preparations in the reverse order. There was a more rapid rise in disopyramide concentration after the capsules: the maximum of 10.7±0.6 µmol/l (mean ± SEM) was reached within 1.8±0.4 h as compared to 10.6±0.4 µmol/l within 4.0±0.3 h after the controlled-release tablets. No significant difference in the fluctuations in individual plasma concentrations during each dose interval at steady state were observed after ordinary capsules compared to controlled-release tablets. The extent of bioavailability was the same. Eight patients reported some side-effects during the capsule period and nine during the controlled-release tablet period.

    Notes: Summary Previous studies have suggested that the absorption of L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patient might be unusually efficient. In the present investigation, the systemic availability of L-dopa was examined in 5 elderly Parkinsonian patients (mean age=77 years) and 6 young, healthy volunteers (mean age=26 years) following a single oral 300 mg dose of L-dopa. Quantitation of plasma levels of intact L-dopa was effected by ion-exchange column chromatography and spectrofluorimetry. The L-dopa plasma concentration-time profiles obtained confirmed the considerable intersubject variability in the absorption of L-dopa previously reported in the literature. Maximum plasma concentrations of L-dopa generally occurred within 60 min of administration of the dose. The existence of more than one plasma peak of L-dopa concentration was displayed in 45% of the subjects studied. This characteristic was not confined exclusively to either subject group. There was a significantly larger (P〈0.02) area under the plasma L-dopa concentration-time curve (AUC o ∞ ) in the elderly Parkinsonian patients (mean=234.69 µg · min/ml; SD=84.70) compared to the young, healthy volunteers (mean=82.33 µg · min/ml; SD=31.00). A significant (P〈0.01) correlation existed between AUC o ∞ and age (r=0.7970; n=11) among the subjects studied. The apparent elimination phase plasma half-life of L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patients (mean=66.0 min; SD=11.1) was not significantly different to that observed in the young, healthy volunteers (mean=74.0 min; SD=18.1). These results suggest that there may be an age-related alteration to the disposition of orally administered L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patient.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of sulpiride was studied in 6 healthy volunteers after intravenous and oral (tablets) administration of 100 mg. An open two- and in two subjects a three-compartment model was applied following intravenous administration. The average total distribution volume during the terminal slope was 2.72±0.66 l/kg and total systemic clearance was 415±84 ml/min. The serum half-life of the terminal slope following intravenous administration averaged 5.3 h (range 3.7–7.1 h) according to the two-compartment model. In two subjects the half-lives were 11.0 and 13.9 h when the three-compartment model was applied. Determination of urinary excretion rates of unchanged sulpiride indicated a half-life of 7.15 h. Following intravenous administration, 70±9% of the dose was recovered unchanged in urine within 36 h; the mean renal clearance was 310±91 ml/min. Sulpiride was absorbed slowly, with peak concentrations appearing between 3 and 6 h after oral administration. The recovery of unchanged drug in urine following oral administration was 15±5% of the dose, with a mean renal clearance of 223±47 ml/min. The bioavailability determined from combined plasma and urine data was only 27±9%. The low bioavailability was probably due to incomplete absorption.

    Notes: Summary As a therapeutic principle, a disease should be treated with the lowest effective dose of a drug. Accumulating information indicates that satisfactory contractile response of the myocardium is produced in young paediatric patients by doses of digoxin below existing recommendations. In addition, toxicity appears to be more frequent in neonates and infants treated with digoxin than previously thought. Therefore, dose calculations have been performed, based on pharmacokinetic parameters, with the aim of reaching and maintaining an average serum concentration of the glycoside of 2 nmol/l. This level is common in infants (〉1 month of age) during digoxin maintenance therapy and its adequacy is well supported by experience from adult cardiac patients. The calculations show that although current dosage schedules maintain the desired digoxin serum level in infants, they are often excessive for digitalization purposes. In neonates, the prevailing schemes do not sufficiently consider the immature state of the eliminating organs. Overdigitalization could therefore easily occur and continue in these patients, particularly in the premature newborns. This is in agreement with toxicity reports in the literature. The calculated doses should be less hazardous by being better adapted to the eliminating capacity of the various paediatric age-groups.

    Notes: Summary A review of the published data on pharmacological closure of PDA in premature newborns shows that doses of 0.2 mg/kg indomethacin are less successful when given enterally (18 to 85% closure) than when given intravenously (88 to 90% closure). The elimination half-life is markedly prolonged in premature newborns compared to adults but there are wide differences between the patients and some discrepancies between mean values reported by various authors. The present study compares clinical and pharmacological results obtained in two groups of low birth weight infants with symptomatic PDA and treated with 0.2 mg/kg indomethacin: 7 patients treated enterally (group A) and 11 patients treated intravenously (group B). Permanent closure of the ductus was observed in 4 cases in group A and in 9 cases in group B. Transient closure was observed twice in each group. Of a total of 18 infants, 15 were saved (83%). One baby treated with indomethacin in spite of preexisting oliguria died from persistent anuria. Indomethacin plasma levels were measured by gas chromatography. The mean elimination half-life of the drug in group A (40.3±12.2 h) did not differ from that in group B (33.9±11.7 h). The apparent plasma half-life appears to be inversely correlated with gestational age (r=0.66,p〈0.05). No relationship between peak plasma levels and ductal closure was established, but a significant difference was found for area under the curve (0 to 24 h) between patients in whom a permanent closure was obtained and those in whom the closure was either transient or absent.

    Notes: Summary Sixteen depressed elderly patients in hospital (mean age 81 years) received a single oral dose of nortriptyline prior to commencing treatment with this drug. Plasma nortriptyline measurements after the single dose were used to calculate the plasma drug clearance and to predict the daily dose required for each patient to achieve a steady-state concentration within the suggested therapeutic range of 50–150 µg·l−1. Using these dosage regimes, the mean observed steady-state concentration showed a significant correlation with the predicted values (r=0.71, p〈0.002). All patients had steady-state concentrations within or very close to this suggested range (mean 106, range 38–157 µg·l−1). Use of the prediction test can prevent the development of toxic plasma concentrations and enhance the possibility of therapeutic success. Our findings suggest that a safe starting dose of nortriptyline for the elderly is 30 mg per day.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of amoxycillin in normal male volunteers was studied during the states of bedrest, sleep and ambulation. The absorption and disposition of amoxycillin in ambulatory subjects was found to be comparable to that reported previously by other workers. Serum amoxycillin concentrations were found to be significantly greater during ambulation than during bedrest and sleep. The difference in serum levels resulted from an increased apparent total serum clearance and amoxycillin renal clearance during bedrest and sleep compared to ambulation. No significant differences in the clearance was found between the states of bedrest and sleep. The change in renal clearance of amoxycillin during ambulation was attributed to a diminished renal blood flow. Although the terminal half-life of amoxycillin did not differ significantly, the apparent volume of distribution appears to be much greater during bedrest and sleep than during ambulation. This difference could be explained pharmacokinetically using a two compartment model. No significant difference was found between the rates of absorption of amoxycillin as reflected by the lag time and time to peak serum amoxycillin. The actual values for these parameters would suggest, however, that the absorption of amoxycillin is faster during ambulation than in bedrest and that the absorption rate during sleep is slowest. The clinical implications of the effect of posture and sleep on the pharmacokinetics of amoxycillin are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The growth of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is severely inhibited by boron starvation, but a foliar treatment with boric acid can transitorily alleviate the deficiency symptoms. The 10B(n ,α)7 Li nuclear reaction has been used to study boron transport in the plant after foliar application. More than 98% of the boron supplied remained at the point where it was applied to the leaves, and less than 2% was useful to the growth of the treated plant. This small “efficient” portion of boron was quite mobile. It was distributed to the different parts of the plant, then was transferred from the oldest parts to the newly formed leaves. Physiological and agronomical implications of these data are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Single input, single output experiments can result in nonunique solutions for the rate constants of a linear compartmental model used to describe the pharmacokinetics. Where a finite number of solutions exists, a priori knowledge has to be used to distinguish between the solutions. Where there is an infinite number of solutions, assumptions have to be made about the values of some rate constants in order to obtain a unique solution for the others. This paper considers such experiments and determines whether either the addition of an extra input (simultaneously with the first input) or the taking of an extra measurement would result in a unique solution. It is found that perturbing a second input can be useful, but only if the perturbation is of different shape from the first input. Measurements of drug in urine and metabolite in plasma are generally not helpful in resolving identifiability of the drug dynamic model. If a radioactive tracer is used, though, the second measurement (for example, by externally scanning the radioactivity of the liver) can prove useful, but only if the gain of the measuring device is known.

    Notes: Abstract Disposition of [ 14C] bumetanide administered intravenously to four healthy volunteers could be described by a triexponential equation. The mean half-lives associated with each exponent were 5.9 min, 46 min, and 3.1 hr, respectively. The largest fraction of dose was eliminated during the second phase; only 17% was eliminated during the last phase. The total plasma clearance averaged 228 ml/min, with renal clearance about one-half of this value. The recovery of unchanged bumetanide in urine over 2 days was 47% of the dose, while the total recovery of radioactivity in urine averaged 82% of dose. In plasma 93% of bumetanide was bound to proteins. Thus bumetanide is rapidly eliminated by both renal and nonrenal mechanisms. The elimination kinetics resembled those described for furosemide.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetic profile of bretylium was studied in four normal male volunteers using a new sensitive EC-GC procedure for its quantitation in biological fluids. The plasma concentrations and urinary excretion rates following the constant i.v. infusion of a single 4mg/kg dose of bretylium tosylate declined biexponentially and the data were fitted to a two-compartment model with a renal and a nonrenal route of elimination. The drug had a mean half-life (t1/2β)of 7.8 hr and apparent volume of distribution (Vd,β)of 8.18 liters/kg. The renal clearance, which was 6 times that of the glomerular filtration rate, accounted for almost 84% of the total body clearance and correlated linearly with the subjects' creatinine clearance. The observed side effects of bretylium were mild and similar to those of other adrenergic blocking agents.

    Notes: Abstract The beta-blocking agent bufuralol is subject to first-pass metabolism and is eliminated from the body almost entirely by biotransformation. Its major metabolite in plasma (1′-hydroxy-bufuralol) is biologically active and may contribute to the pharmacological effect of the drug. The effect of renal failure on the behavior of the parent compound and three of its metabolites was studied by comparing their kinetics in normal volunteers and in patients with severe renal insufficiency. Bufuralol was given orally to all subjects (20 mg); some of the healthy volunteers also received the drug intravenously (5 mg). Renal failure was found to be associated with a marked increase of the areas under the plasma concentration-time curves of the parent compound, whereas its halflife of elimination was not markedly influenced. The behavior of 1′-hydroxy-bufuralol was consistent with a decreased renal clearance. The behavior of bufuralol in patients with renal failure was analyzed using the clearance approach. From this analysis it appears that the presystemic biotransformation of bufuralol is decreased in renal failure and that changes in systemic clearance are compensated in our patients by modifications of the volume of distribution, resulting in little net change in the halflife of elimination.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of lithium (Li +) distribution after a single dose was studied in healthy human subjects. Experiments were performed by simultaneously following changes of Li+ concentration in plasma, erythrocytes (RBC), and urine. The data were fitted by a simple but physiologically realistic model, so that extracted rate constants could be assigned to real body compartments and compared with independent measurements of cellular transport characteristics. The extracted rate constants were used to calculate steady-state cell-to-plasma Li+ ratios for RBC and for inaccessible cells (mainly muscle). In both cell types, the intracellular Li+ concentration is far below electrochemical equilibrium. This finding suggests that the Li+ countertransport efflux mechanism of RBC may be shared with muscle. We also present evidence for a circadian rhythm in Li+ excretion that parallels the daily cycle of Na+ and K+ excretion.

    Notes: Abstract A maintenance dose designed to give a desired minimum concentration of drug in plasma at steady-state can be determined in a model-independent manner assuming that concentration-time data needed for the calculation are obtained after absorption and distribution are complete. Using a few concentration-time points obtained after the first dose, numerical values of β and Z, a parameter consisting of different pharmacokinetic parameters for different models, can be obtained. An administration interval (τ) can be chosen based on β. Using the values of β, Z, and τ, a maintenance dose is calculated. This approach will allow calculation of a maintenance dose when drug is present in plasma at the time the first monitored dose is given.

    Notes: Abstract It is apparent that chemotherapy against malignant brain tumors is generally ineffective. While some agents are more effective than others, none appreciably alters the clinical course of and the poor prognosis for patients with brain tumors. Even though new and more effective agents are being or will be developed, chemotherapy depends as much on the delivery of drug as it does on the drug used. Therefore, we have defined factors that we believe are of primary importance in drug delivery to brain tumors, and, using computer simulation, we have modeled the effects of these factors. In this article we discuss (a) the extent of the “breakdown” in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that accompanies the development of malignant tumors in the brain, (b) factors that influence drug transport from tumor capillaries to tumor cells at varying distances from the capillaries, (c) the problems inherent in drug delivery from a well-vascularized tumor outward to normal brain tissue that might harbor malignant cells but that does not have leaky vessels (i.e., normal BBB), and (d) the difficulties in drug delivery from a well-perfused, highly permeable outer tumor shell to a central, poorly perfused tumor core.

    Notes: The results of calculations of the transition energies and polarization in nucleotide bases performed by the CNDO/S CI method are compared with experimental data for long-wavelength and vacuumabsorption bands. The calculations and the analysis of experimental data testify to the existence of n - π* transitions in the first absorption bands of the bases. The study of double-stranded polynucleotides and DNA hypochromism based on the theoretical electronic characteristics of the bases and perturbation theory is performed. The role of stacking and complementary interactions within the hypochromic effect is cleared up. Two mechanisms for the shift of the fluorescence band maximum are investigated: two-proton transfer along H bonds and excimer formation. The study of H-bond potential curves shows the disadvantage of two-proton phototautomerism in the nucleotide base pairs in contrast to model systems. The possibility of excimer state formation in stacked homo- and heterodimers of nucleotide bases is shown within the extended-Hückel treatment. The nature of excimer minimum for the excited-state potential curve is analyzed.

    Notes: The time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) equations are derived up to the second order when the system is perturbed by a monochromatic plane wave. The solutions of the equations are subjected to the orthonormalization conditions satisfied by the orbitals. In the equations, these conditions are expressed by the appearing of coefficients λjkn,ε playing the part of Lagrangian multipliers. Relations between the coefficients λjkn,ε are established. These relations are equivalent to the above-mentioned orthonormalization conditions. This equivalence enables us to substitute for the solution of an integrodifferential equation system subject to constraint conditions, that of a free system. The TDHF equations obtained determine the first- and second-order orbital perturbations, which no doubt verify the orthonormalization conditions. These orbitals can be used in the calculation, up to second order, of different nonlinear optical effects.

    Notes: Pair correlation in the ground state of the Li isoelectronic sequence is studied through four approximate wave functions which incorporate inter- and intrashell pair correlation. Of these functions, two possess symmetry appropriate to a three-electron system, while two do not. The functions are not variational functions in the usual sense. They are instead fixed linear combinations of products of orbitals and pair functions for the appropriate states of two-electron atoms. They are considered here as zero-order approximations to the exact wave functions, and the corresponding zero-order Hamiltonians are obtained. The simplest of these functions is improved by the introduction of a screening parameter for the “outer” electron. This latter function is found to be a satisfactory compromise between accuracy and simplicity and is proposed for study via higher-order perturbation theory.

    Notes: Ab initio calculations of various expectation energies have been made for the reactant and product species in six reactions that involve only small linear molecules. The reactions include fission by hydrogen, addition of hydrogen, exchange of triply bonded atoms, fluorination, and oxygen atom transfer. The change in total electronic energy is not invariably the result of changes in inner shell energy and outer shell σ- and π-electron energies simply augmenting each other, but in several cases there is a complex interplay of opposing effects. This approach gives a different insight into the energetic aspects of changes in bonding from that derived from the concept of shared electron pairs in σ and π bonds together with lone pairs in valence shells. Changes in π-electron energy are shown to be important in a reaction in which neither reactant nor product molecules contain π bonds in the usual chemical sense. While in a reaction in which there is a complete change in the nature of the triple bonds, and hence the π bonding, the change in π-electron energy makes a smaller contribution than either the change in inner shell or the outer shell σ-electron energies.

    Notes: We use a previously proposed variation-perturbation method to calculate the electric polarizabilities and the electric dipole moment at equilibrium nuclear distance of the BH molecule. We obtain 3.56 × 10-24 cm3 for the perpendicular polarizability αxx and 3.22 × 10-24 cm3 for the parallel polarizability αzz. Our result for the electric dipole moment μ0 is 1.734 debye units; there is no reliable experimental result to compare it with.

    Notes: The resonance energy of conjugated benzenoid systems is expressed as contributions arising from independent conjugated circuits. The scheme has been applied to numerous very large conjugated systems. In many cases, it was possible to find regularities in the increments for the resonance energy within a family of benzenoid systems as the number of benzene rings is increased.

    Notes: A previously given iterative procedure to improve wave functions is analyzed. Its relationship with other well-known approximation methods is investigated. Hypervirial operators depending on a real parameter are proposed and their connection with the employment of an infinite number of hypervirial relations is analyzed. A way to use formulas that are valid for exact eigenfunctions in the case of approximate functions is presented. Formal results are applied to the harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom models in order to show their practical utilization.

    Notes: Ab initio MO calculations, using both minimal (STO-3G) and extended (Roos-Siegbahn) basis sets are reported for the systems methanethiol-imidazole, methanethiol-imidazole-formaldehyde, and methanethiol-imidazole-formamide, which, together with a point-change representation of a long α-helix, form models for the active site of papain. It is shown that the large electric field exerted by the helix in the active-site region is responsible for the presence of the essential residues Cys 25 and His 159 in the form of an ion pair RS- ··· ImH+, which is crucial for a recently proposed mechanism for the catalytic action of the enzyme. Also, an explanation is given for the anomalies in measured pK values for these residues. Detailed studies on the (sub)systems show that minimal basis sets lack the flexibility necessary for describing the type of proton transfer involved. We conclude that α-helices are essential parts of enzymes and that they play a significant role in the catalytic process.

The possibilities of the method to reproduce potential surfaces of the 4B2, 2B2, and 2A1 states of the H3 molecule are investigated. It is shown that satisfactory results can be achieved only for a single state under consideration, but not for the three states simultaneously.

The satellite state with the largest intensity may be described as a one-electron excitation Cu 3d → Cl 3p.

    Notes: A modification of the overlap approximation for triplet pair correlation energies is presented. The modification allows the use of either the canonical absolute overlap or the minimum absolute overlap. When applied to the b 3∑u+ state of H2, this approximation reproduces the observed correlation energy to within 0.0002 hartree (or ±3%) for all internuclear distances from 1.3 bohr to infinity.

    Description / Table of Contents: L'approximation HF présentée dans la partie I a été testée par rapport à plusieurs propriétés moléculaires. Trois niveaux d'aproximation différents a, b, et c sont considérés. Des résultats satisfaisants - en comparaison avec des calculs HF “exacts” - sont obtenus avec la base STO-3G et le niveau a. A ce niveau-ci l'erreur dans l'énergie de liaison est de 0.001-0.025 a.u. pour toutes les molécules considérées, qui contiennent jusqu'à six atomes de la première ligne comme par exemple le cyclopentanone (C5OH8). L'erreur dans les énergies de réaction traitées ici est d'environ 4 kcal/mol (l'erreur maximale est de 9 kcal/mol). Les énergies orbitalaires, les moments dipolaires, les charges brutes, les géométries d'équilibres et les barrières de rotation interne sont bien reproduits par notre méthode à tous les trois niveaux.
    Abstract: Die HF-Näherungsmethode, welche im Teil I vorgestellt wurde, wird an einigen Moleküleigenschaften getestet. Drei Näherungsstufen a, b, und c werden untersucht. Zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse - verglichen mit entsprechenden “exakten” HF-Rechnungen - erhält man mit der STO-3G Basis und der Näherungsstufe a. Bei dieser Näherung ist der Fehler in der Bindungsenergie 0.001-0.025 a.u. für alle untersuchten Moleküle, welche bis zu 6 Atome der 1. Reihe enthalten, wie z.B. Cyclopentanon (C5OH8). Der Fehler in den hier behandelten Reaktionsenergien beträgt etwa 4 kcal/mol (der maximale Fehler beträgt 9 kcal/mol). Orbitalenergien, Diplolmomente, Bruttoladungen, Gleichgewichtsgeometrien und Rotationsbarrieren werden durch die Näherungsmethode bei allen Näherungsstufen gut wiedergegeben.
    Notes: The HF approximation method that was outlined in Paper I is tested with respect to several molecular properties. Three different levels of approximation a, b, and c are considered. Satisfactory results - compared to corresponding “exact” HF calculations - are obtained with the STO-3G basis and the approximation level a. At this level the error in the binding energy is 0.001-0.025 a.u. for all considered molecules which contain up to six first-row atoms as, e.g., cyclopentanone (C5OH8). The error in the reaction energies considered here is about 4 kcal/mol (the maximal error is 9 kcal/mol). Orbital energies, dipole moments, gross charges, equilibrium geometries, and barriers to internal rotation are well reproduced by the approximation method at all three levels.

    Notes: The influence of side-chain disorder on the electronic structure of proteins has been investigated in the case of polypeptides containing two or three different amino acid residues. It has been found that due to the different potentials of different side-chain groups, the original valence and conduction bands of the homopolypeptides are split into narrow bands. The comparison of the densities of electronic states in simple homopolypeptides and in composite polymers shows that new forbidden regions in the energy spectrum of proteins may develop. The consequences of these effects for the semiconductive properties of proteins are discussed.

    Notes: In a previous paper, a scheme of integral approximation was proposed, in which a large number of two-electron integrals containing a certain kind of orbital pairs, i.e., weakly related pairs, can be neglected. A new criterion for partitioning orbital pairs into two groups, i.e., strongly and weakly related pairs, is introduced in order to allow for neglect of more integrals without sacrificing the accuracy of a computation. Test calculations on the BH3—C2H4 complex show that by the use of the new version, results of roughly the same accuracy as was obtained by the old version is obtained by retaining 80% of the integrals used in the old version. This kind of saving is more significant for larger molecules. For example, in a calculation on Cu-porphine with 203 CGTO'S, the revised version will require about 2.0 × 106 integrals, while the original version will require about 4.5 × 106. And these two approximate calculations are expected to give the results of roughly the same accuracy.

    Notes: Cooperative phenomena may be involved in the biological effects of magnetic fields (H), since its effects on isolated atoms or ions, at room temperature, are very weak. It is suggested that interactions at the social level can considerably increase the efficiency of H in orienting the displacements of animals. This effect is discussed with a simple mathematical model inspired on superparamagnetism. In case of very weak interactions of H with isolated animals, it suggests that orientation could only be made visible through cooperativity at the social level. These results are generalized to other physical stimuli and effects, leading to the concept of cooperative sensory response, i.e., a group response to an external physical agent even when its effect on isolated members of the group is undetectable.

    Description / Table of Contents: En déterminant les paramètres des jeux de base dans des environnements moléculaires par d'autres critères que l'énergie totale, il est démontré qu'une généralisation de la base pour des fragments moléculaires peut ětre obtenue, dans laquelle les propriétés géométriques et celles de la structure électronique sont prédites considérablement mieux qu'avec des bases de taille semblable. Comme premier pas dans le développement d'une série de bases avec une flexibilité et une précision de plus en plus prononcée, on a construit plusieurs jeux de base de type simple zéta avec une contraction gaussienne pour chaque orbitale de base. Les meilleures de ces bases donnent des propriétés géométriques et électroniques pour une série de molécules organiques avec'une précision meilleure que celle obtenue par la base correspondante de type STO-2G et semblable dans la plupart des cas à STO-3G. En outre cette base peut ětre utilisée soit avec des gaussiennes cartésiennes, soit avec des gaussiennes sphériques flottantes.
    Abstract: Durch eine Bestimmung von Basissatzparametern in Molekülumgebungen mit anderen Kriterien als der Gesamtenergie wird gezeigt, dass eine Verallgemeinerung des Molekülfragmentsbasissatzes erhalten werden kann, mit welchem geometrischen und Elektronstruktureigenschaften beträchtlich besser als mit anderen Basissätzen ähnlicher Grösse vorhergesagt werden können. Als erster Schritt in der Entwicklung einer Reihe von Basissätzen mit sukzessiv grösserer Flexibilität und Genauigkeit werden mehrere Basissätze von Einzelzetatyp durch eine Gauss'sche Kontraktion für jedes Basisorbital konstruiert. Mit den besten dieser Basissätze werden geometrische und elektronische Eigen-schaften für eine Reihe von organischen Molekülen mit besserer Genauigkeit als dem entsprechenden STO-2G Basissatz und in vielen Fallen ähnlich dem STO-2G Satz erhalten. Weiter wird gezeiget, dass dieser Basissatz mit sowohl Cartesischen als fliesseden sphärischen Gaussfunktionen vereinbar ist.
    Notes: By determining basis set parameters in molecular environments using other criteria than total energy, it is shown that a generalization of the molecular fragment basis can be obtained in which calculated geometric and electronic structural properties are predicted substantially better than with other basis sets of similar size. As a first step in the development of a series of basis sets having successively greater flexibility and accuracy, several single-zeta basis sets are created, using a two-Gaussian contraction for each basis orbital. The best of these basis sets produced calculated geometric and electronic properties for a series of molecules that model a wide variety of organic molecules that are of better accuracy than the corresponding STO-2G basis, and similar in most cases to STO-3G. In addition, the basis set is shown to be applicable in either a Cartesian Gaussian basis or a floating spherical Gaussian basis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Une méthode est proposée, qui réduit considérablement le travail numérique dans un calcul HF en réduisant le nombre d'intégrales à deux électrons qui doivent ětre calculées. Les procédés suivants sont utilisés: (i) la densité électronique est approximée par un petit nombre de fonctions pour la partie de Coulomb de la matrice HF; (ii) cette densité approchée est modifiée pour améliorer son potentiel; (iii) dans la partie d'échange une fonction de base χ est remplacée par une fonction \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \tilde \chi $\end{document} avec un nombre moindre de lobes gaussines; (iv) l'érreur causée par ce remplacement-ci est réduite par une modification des densités \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \tilde \chi _i \tilde \chi _j $\end{document} dans les intégrales d'échange. Le temps de calcul pour les intégrales est réduit par un facteur 6 pour des molécules contenant cinq atomes de la première ligne comme par exemple CF4, si l'on utilise une base 7S/3P contractée à (5, 1, 1/3). Le temps augmente approximativement avec n3, si n est le nombre de lobes gaussiens.
    Abstract: Eine Methode wird vorgeschlagen, welche den numerischen Aufwand von Hartree-Foch Rechnungen dadurch verringert, indem die Zahl der zu berechnenden Zweielektronenintegrale reduziert wird. Dabei werden folgende Konzepte verwendet: (i) Zur Berechnung des Coulombanteils der HF Matrix wird die Elektronendichte durch wenig Funktionen approximiert. (ii) Die approximierte Dichte wird so modifiziert, daß ihr Potential verbessert wird. (iii) Zur Berechnung des Austauschanteils wird eine Basisfunktion χ durch eine Funktion \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \tilde \chi $\end{document} ersetzt, welche weniger Gauss-lobes enthält. (iv) Der dadurch hervorgerufene Fehler wird durch eine Änderung der in den Austauschintegralen vorkommenden Dichten \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \tilde \chi _i \tilde \chi _j $\end{document} reduziert. Für Moleküle, welche 5 Atome der 1. Reihe enthalten, wie z.B. CF4, wird die Rechenzeit für den Integralteil um den Faktor 6 reduziert, wenn eine 7S/3P Basis kontrahiert zu (5, 1, 1/3) verwendet wird. Die Integralzeit nimmt etwa mit der 3. Potenz der Zahl der Gauss-lobes zu.
    Notes: A method is proposed that reduces the computational effort of HF calculations considerably by reducing the number of two-electron integrals that have to be calculated. The following concepts are used: (i) approximation of the electron density by only few functions for the Coulomb part of the HF matrix; (ii) modification of this approximate density, to improve its Coulomb field; (iii) in the exchange part, a basis function χ is replaced by a function \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \tilde \chi $\end{document} consisting of fewer Gaussian lobes; (iv) the error caused by this replacement is reduced by a modification of the densities \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \tilde \chi _i \tilde \chi _j $\end{document} in the exchange integrals. The computation time of the integral part is reduced by a factor 6 for molecules containing five first-row atoms as, e.g., CF4, if one uses a 7S/3P basis set contracted to (5, 1, 1/3). The integral time increases roughly with n3, if n is the number of Gaussian lobes.

    Notes: A hierarchy of necessary conditions that an exact density matrix of a pure state or an ensemble has to satisfy is derived, namely the hermiticity of certain operators F(k). For k = 1 this reduces to the well-known Hartree-Fock condition. It is then shown that the kth set of conditions is equivalent to stationarity of the energy with respect to unitary k-particle transformations. k-Particle generalizations of Hartree-Fock theory are then discussed both in the spirit of k-particle pseudoeigenvalue equations and in the framework of a Newton-Raphson-type constructive scheme.

    Notes: The binding energy spectra for the valence orbitals of hydrogen chloride have been obtained using the binary (e,2e) method at 1200 eV. The strength of the innermost valence orbital (4σ) is severely split among several ion states in the energy range 25 to 41 eV. The measured cross sections are compared with results of calculations using contracted Gaussian basis sets of double-zeta quality, and with a one-particle Green's function calculation.

    Notes: The charge exchange process in the intervalence (mixed-valence) system is interpreted in terms of the nonstationary state mechanism which is a well-known approach for rationalizing the molecular tautomerism process. The two kinds of processes are viewed in a close analogy in the sense that both involve a pair of near-degenerate levels in a double-well potential. However, a comparison is made between the two cases to demonstrate that an electron moves not only faster but also farther in distance than a nucleus does.

    Notes: Traditionally, the calculation of the vibrational spectra of molecules involves at one point or another a numerical differentiation procedure. Such a method has some serious drawbacks both in efficiency and in accuracy. In this paper, an alternative method based on linear response theory is presented. The second derivative of the ground-state energy is expressed in terms of the electron density response matrix by means of perturbation theory. The unperturbed wave functions are obtained from the Hartree-Fock equation. First-order perturbation theory applied to this equation leads to the Hartree-Fock linear response. As an illustration of this method the vibrational frequency of a H2 molecule is calculated. The result is 1.348 × 1014 Hz as compared to the experimental value of 1.319 × 1014 Hz. This method is also applicable in the calculation of the phonon dispersion curves of solids.

    Notes: A brief account of a quantum chemistry literature data base (QCLDB) is described, which contains the key information of about 2000 papers of ab initio calculations of atoms and molecules published in 1977-1979. The QCLDB is stored in a computer and can be sorted and rearranged into author and substance indices. Selection of the items for each paper in a computer-readable data base is discussed.

    Notes: Metal chelates [(C2H2X2)2M]n with ligating atoms X = NH, O, S and central atoms M = Be2+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ (n = 0, ± 2), and M = Li+, Cu+ (n = ± 1, -3), have been studied in our Laboratory for some years by ab initio calculations. In this article it is shown that certain features of the complexes are the same for all the different metals in our series. These features include a drastic reduction of the energy gap between unoccupied and occupied orbitals, when electrons are added to the positively charged complexes. This change of the energy gap is shown to be an effect of the ligand dimer [(C2H2X2)2]n. But this dimer can only exist when a positive ion, e.g., a metal ion, forms a bridge between the two monomers. The reduced energy gap implies a strong bathochromic shift of the electronic spectrum and low electrical resistivity.

    Notes: The photoisomerization of imine compounds is studied in terms of an ab initio MO CI calculation. The potential curves of the syn-anti isomerization via the rotation and the inversion are examined for benzaldimine. It is suggested that the photoisomerization is initiated through the rotation around the C—N bond in both singlet and triplet states. The ease of the photoisomerization is found to be determined by both the conformation of phenyl ring in the ground state and the energy difference of vertically excited states between two isomers.

    Notes: To aid in designing new therapeutic iron chelating agents, the mechanism of iron binding to prototypic heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones has been studied. Based on molecular orbital and spectroscopic studies, iron (II) is found to bind in a covalent manner, while iron(III) seems to interact ionically. However, with both iron(II) and iron(III), chelate formation is dependent on charge interaction between the metal and the coordinating atoms of the ligand.

    Notes: The potential-energy curves for the movement of proton along the hydrogen-bond direction were calculated for the parent and cations produced from the β- decay of pyridine-pyrrole labeled by tritium (3H) or carbon-14(14C). For all cations the double minimum potential is predicted to be formed, and the activation energy for the proton transfer from one well to the other is about 10.0 kcal/mol, which is much lower than that in the (NH2—H—NH2)+ ion. A positional effect of nuclear transformation is scarcely expected in 3H β- decay, whereas a slight positional effect may be expected in 14C β- decay.

    Notes: The problem of the existence of a prostaglandin (PG) receptor is still controversial, but it seems to be clear that the main action of the PGs concerns the interface of the cellular membrane (which has a predominantly lipid character) and the extracellular liquid (which mainly consists of water). Also especially in the case of the exogenous PGs, the transport of these substances in the organism in influenced by the hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties of the reactive molecules. These properties can be estimated by MO studies using a solvation model and a semiempirical method of calculation. This paper is concerned with the molecules of PGA1 and PGE1. MO studies were performed for these molecules with the CNDO/SW method in order to calculate ionization potentials, dipole moments, and molecular polarizabilities. With these computed molecular properties, the electrostatic and van der Waals interactions with water and octanol molecules are evaluated and compared within the framework of the original model. This study allows the differentiation of the hydrophilic-hydrophobic character of the PGs investigated and the comparison of the results with experimental data.

    Notes: The range in ordinary space of a defect in a solid, polymer, or a large molecule is an important parameter in many physical and chemical situations like, e.g., substitutional and interstitial impurities in ionic crystals, deep and shallow energy levels in semiconductors, core holes in systems studied by photoelectron spectroscopy, and hydrogen in metals. Both the electronic structure and the lattice of the host molecule or solid are normally influenced by the defect, and it is desirable to treat, as far as possible, these two aspects together. An explicit procedure for investigating the degree of localization is proposed that is based on the direct calculation of Wannier functions and partitioning technique.

    Notes: Exciton transfers in the two-dimensional and spin-canted antiferromagnet (C2H5NH3)2MnCl4 were studied by investigating the absorption spectra 6A1g → 4T2g(4D) of Mn2+. A magnon side band (exciton-magnon simultaneous excitation) which has an anomalous shape with the cutoffs at the low-energy as well as the high-energy sides was observed. This anomalous shape could be reproduced in calculation as magnon side band, considering both the intersublattice and intrasublattice exciton transfers. From the analysis of this band shape, the magnitudes of the intersublattice and intrasublattice exciton transfers are estimated to be 10.2 and 6.8 cm-1, respectively. In the case of simple antiferromagnets without spin canting, the intersublattice exciton transfer process is forbidden because of the spin angular momentum. However, in the case of (C2H5NH3)2MnCl4, the prohibition of the intersublattice exciton transfer is removed by the canted-spin arrangement.

    Notes: A new method has been proposed for calculating the Gaussian matrix elements of the interaction operator represented by an arbitrary degree of interelectron distance X12ρ. The method is based on the expansion of two-electron integrals as the sum of one-electron integrals which in turn admit compact operator representation in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. The generating differential operator has been shown to be related to the modified Hermitian polynomials. The standard structure of the special functions encountered in this approach is useful in studying the analytical behavior of the integrals and makes it possible to obtain for these integrals recurrence relations, direct algebraic expressions in the forms of finite sum of confluent hypergeometric functions, integral representations, and asymptotic properties. Unlike the usual methods based on integral transformation of the interaction operator, the proposed approach has a wider field of application, and in addition, leads to compact and convenient analytical expressions. The idea of using differential properties of integrals to simplify the integrand structure gives the proposed approach a certain resemblance to that suggested by Boys but not developed in detail in his pioneer work.

    Notes: The performance of the MINDO/3 method has been evaluated in simple heteroatomic molecules that are representative of several important biological systems. Molecular geometries are accurate to within 0.04 Å for bond lengths, and 3° for most bond angles. Dipole moments and charge distributions are estimated satisfactorily, and ionization potentials are predicted to an accuracy of 0.5 eV. The method is less accurate in estimating the ionization of some upper level σ orbitals. The overall evaluation shows that MINDO/3 provides a good description of the geometries and electronic properties of the molecules studied. The results of MINDO/3 calculations in several other chemical systems are also reviewed.

    Notes: Spin functions that are compatible with orbital ordering and geminal antisymmetry conditions are investigated. It is shown that two widely used classes of spin functions, namely, the spin-bonded functions and Yamanouchi-Kotani (or, equivalently, Gelfand-Tsetlin) functions possess these properties. The relationship of the latter with Young-Yamanouchi spin functions is also outlined using graphical techniques of spin algebras. These techniques are also used to rederive the Hamiltonian matrix elements between spin-bonded functions and to show the relationship among the various schemes used in this case.

    Notes: A theorem is presented that characterizes approximate states and truncated operator manifolds associated with self-consistent approximate propagators. This theorem establishes a natural relationship between Hermiticity, stationarity, nonredundance and completeness of operator manifolds, model time evolution, and the vacuum condition. For the case of the polarization propagator we describe algorithms by which we can construct states and manifolds that satisfy this theorem and the vacuum condition.
