    Notes: Summary The plasma and urine kinetics of rufloxacin were assessed in healthy volunteers after single (100, 200, 400 and 800 mg) and multiple (300 mg followed by 150 mg daily, Group 1, and 400 mg followed by 200 mg daily, Group 2) oral doses. The kinetics of a single oral dose of 800 mg was assessed in fasting and non-fasting subjects to assess the influence of food intake on drug absorption. The AUCs were 134, 266 and 375 μg · h · ml−1 after 100, 200 and 400 mg, respectively. The AUC after 800 mg p. o. was 715 μg · h · ml −1 in fasting subjects and 614 μg · h · ml−1 in non-fasting subjects. The parameters of the model and the mean renal clearance values indicated some departure from linearity in rufloxacin kinetics. After multiple doses the plasma drug levels during the 6th treatment day were similar to those after the first dose in Group 1 and were about 30–40% higher after the first dose in Group 2. The half-lives after the last dose were much shorter than those estimated in the single dose studies (33–36 h and 50–80 h, respectively).

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of IV meropenem (500 mg over 30 min) has been studied in 6 healthy volunteers and 26 patients with various degrees of renal impairment. Blood samples were taken at different times over 24 h in healthy subjects and 36 to 48 h in uraemic patients, and four or five urine samples were collected over 24 or 48 h. Meropenem concentrations in plasma and urine were measured by a microbiological assay. The mean peak plasma concentration of meropenem ranged from 28 to 40 μg·ml−1 and was not affected by the degree of renal impairment. The terminal half-life of meropenem was approximately 1 h in subjects with normal kidney function and it was proportionately increased as renal function decreased. A significant linear relationship between total body clearance and creatinine clearance as well as between renal clearance and creatinine clearance was observed. The mean apparent volume of distribution at steady state was not significantly altered in uraemic patients. The mean cumulative urinary recovery of meropenem in healthy volunteers was 77% of the administered dose and it was significantly decreased in patients with renal impairment. Haemodialysis shortened the elimination half-life, from 9.7 h during the predialysis period to 1.4 h during the dialysis period. The dose of meropenem should be reduced in relation to the decrease in creatinine clearance.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic parameters of oral diphemanil methylsulphate have been evaluated in six healthy male volunteers. Absorption of the drug was slow (tmax=2 to 4 h), the mean half-life was 8.35 h, and the amount of the drug recovered in urine within 48 h ranged from 0.6 to 7.4% of the administered dose. The results suggest low bioavailability, assuming that the drug is poorly metabolized.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of loperamide, after oral administration of increasing doses (1 to 16 mg) of loperamide oxide, has been investigated in 10 healthy male volunteers, using a randomised cross-over design. Comparison of the maximum plasma loperamide concentration and AUC demonstrated that the bioavailability of loperamide was proportional to the dose of loperamide oxide administered.

    Notes: Summary Bone marrow transplant patients having severe, prolonged oral mucositis pain (expected to last for one to three weeks) used a computer-controlled infusion system to self-administer morphine for pain control. Individual patient pharmacokinetic information, derived from a pretreatment bolus morphine dose, was used in a new bolus-elimination transfer algorithm to produce rapid adjustments of steady plasma morphine concentrations when the patient requested more or less drug. We evaluated the performance characteristics (bias and precision) of this pharmacokinetically based patient-controlled analgesic infusion system (PKPCA) in a group of 15 cancer patients over six to 14 days. Although we found a three- to fivefold pharmaco-kinetic variability in the tailoring morphine dose data, the PKPCA system was free of systematic bias (insignificant overall prediction error) during the patient-controlled infusions in this study population. The absolute prediction error was 19.9% for the group on the first study day and 25.6% over the entire study period (aggregate results; 6–14 days of continuous use). Two-thirds of the patients exhibited no bias throughout the study period, and individual bias in the others was symmetrically distributed (three patients with underpredictions and two overpredicted). Magnitude of prediction error during the patient-controlled morphine infusions was not related to the magnitude of pharmacokinetic deviation of individual subjects from group parameters. Our results indicate that this PKPCA system provides accurate control of plasma morphine concentration when used by patients to self-administer opioid for prolonged pain relief continuously over 1 to 2 weeks. Use of individual pharmacokinetic information, instead of population parameters, may account for superior performance characteristic of this computer-assisted continuous drug infusion system.

    Notes: Summary The steady-state pharmacokinetic profile of indomethacin was examined in twelve healthy volunteers (4 m, 8 f; 20–34 y) and in 12 elderly subjects (7 m, 5 f; 70–88 y). Two formulations of indomethacin were examined, providing duplicate data for each subject group. The subjects received each formulation of indomethacin (25 mg tid) for 6 days in a single blind crossover fashion. On day 7, after an overnight fast, a final 25 mg dose of indomethacin was given and plasma concentrations measured over the following 12 h. Kinetic parameters Cpmin, tmx and AUC (0–12 h) were determined. There were no differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters between young and elderly subjects or between data for the two formulations of indomethacin. AUC values (μg · ml−1 · h), for example, for the two formulations in the young subjects were 5.85 and 6.85 while the values for the elderly subjects were 6.55 and 6.50 respectively. When each treatment period was considered independently there was a significant difference between young and elderly subjects with regard to compliance. The rates of non compliance (over and under compliance) using a capsule count technique were, however, low with a mean maximum value of 5.8% being recorded for the elderly subjects.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of isradipine, a calcium-channel blocker, have been studied in eight patients on chronic haemodialysis. A single oral dose of 5 mg was administered on both a non-haemodialysis and a haemodialysis day and the plasma concentrations of isradipine were analyzed. The mean cmax, tmax, AUC, and t1/2 in plasma on the non-haemodialysis day were 5.2 ng·ml−1, 1.4 h, 23.8 ng·h·ml−1, and 3.1 h, respectively. The dialysis clearance of isradipine was negligible (5.0 ml·min−1). The t1/2 values during haemodialysis were not significantly different from those observed during the same period post dose on the non-haemodialysis day. The study demonstrates that supplemental doses of isradipine are not necessary in these patients since isradipine is not significantly removed by haemodialysis.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of quinine has been studied in ten healthy adult Africans after intravenous infusion and oral ingestion of a 500 mg dose. Blood and saliva samples were collected over 48 h and quinine in plasma, red cells and saliva was determined by HPLC. Quinine was rapidly and almost completely absorbed after an oral dose, with absorption half-life of 0.53 h, a tmax of 1–3 h and a bioavailability of 88%. Analysis of the i. v. data gave an apparent volume of distribution of 3.6 1·kg−1 and a plasma clearance of 0.19 l·kg−1·h−1. The concentration-time curves for plasma, red cells and saliva had declining phases were approximately parallel, giving a similar half-life that in all three media. The half-lives after the i. v. infusion also did not different from those after oral administration. The dose was well tolerated by both methods of administration.

    Notes: Summary 2-hydroxy-4-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (HTB) is the main active metabolite of the platelet anti-aggregant drug triflusal. Its binding to plasma proteins of rats and healthy volunteers in vitro and in vivo has been studied. Rats were given a single oral dose of 50 mg·kg−1 triflusal and the healthy volunteers received 300 mg as a single oral dose or a multiple dose regimen of 600 mg every 24 h and 300 mg every 8 h, both for 13 days. Protein-free HTB was obtained by ultrafiltration. Unbound and total HTB concentrations were determined by HPLC. HTB was primarily bound to albumin in plasma. The Scatchard plots suggested two types of binding sites for HTB on the albumin molecule. In rats, the binding constants (K=intrinsic affinity constant, n=number of binding sites) were K1=1.4×105 l·mol−1, n1=1.23, and K2=4.1×103 l·mol−1 and n2=3.77. The mean plasma concentration in rats after oral administration was 185 (37) μg·ml−1 (protein-free HTB: 2.44 (0.77)%). The binding constants in human plasma were K1=4.7×105 l·mol−1, n1=1.93, K2=4.3 l·mol−1 and n2=4.28. The plasma HTB concentration in man (n=8) was 35 μg·ml−1 (Cmax) after a single oral dose of triflusal 300 mg, 172.96 μg·ml−1 (Cmax·ss) during the multiple dosage regimen of 300 mg every 8 h, and 131 μg·ml−1 (Cmax·ss) during the multiple oral dose regimen of 600 mg every 24 h. Unbound HTB ranged from 0.27 to 0.43%, depending on dose. HTB had high affinity for plasma albumin, which was not saturable after therapeutic doses. It showed linear elimination.

    Notes: Summary Glycerol 50 g infused i. v. over 2 to 6 h is widely used to treat cerebral oedema in patients with acute stroke. Its transit through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier in subjects with uninflamed meninges has now been examined. In 7 patients with an external ventriculostomy for occlusive hydrocephalus, each of whom was given 500 ml of a 10% solution IV over 4 h, serum and CSF were repeatedly sampled during and after the infusion and glycerol was measured enzymatically. The highest serum glycerol level of 191–923 mg/l was observed at the end of the infusion. The maximum CSF glycerol of 18.7–110.8 mg/l was attained 0–1 h after the end of the infusion. Elimination both from serum and CSF approximated a single-exponential decay; the elimination half-life from serum was 0.29–0.56 h compared to 1.03–3.68 h from CSF. In six of the seven cases there was a temporary reversal of the serum/CSF concentration gradient during glycerol elimination. The ratios of the AUCs of CSF and serum, which describe the overall penetration of glycerol into CSF, ranged from 0.09–0.31. In conclusion, the serum level of glycerol produced by giving 50 g IV glycerol over 4 h may not be sufficiently high reliably dehydrate to brain tissue in many patients, and the slow elimination of glycerol from the CSF may be related to the so-called rebound phenomenon.

    Notes: Summary The formation and urinary excretion of the dipyrone metabolites, methylaminoantipyrine (MAA), aminoantipyrine (AA), formylaminoantipyrine (FAA) and acetylaminoantipyrine (AAA) were determined following administration of a single oral 1.0 g dose of dipyrone to 12 healthy volunteers. The AAA/AA plasma ratio showed that 3 subjects were slow and 9 were rapid acetylators. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined separately for each group. A good correlation was found between the plasma and urine AAA/AA ratios. The renal clearance of the four metabolites was similar for both phenotypes. A significant difference in the rate of formation of dipyrone metabolites was found for AA, 0.25 (slow) vs 0.1 ml·min−1·kg−1 (rapid), and for AAA 0.75 (slow) vs 7.53 ml·min−1·kg−1 (rapid). There were comparable differences between slow and rapid acetylators in the AUC and the urinary excretion extrapolated to infinity for AA and AAA. The present results show that the kinetics of dipyrone metabolites in plasma and urine can provide a useful measure of the activity of the enzymes involved in their production.

    Notes: Summary A single dose of the β2-adrenoceptor agonist salbutamol has previously been shown to decrease serum digoxin concentration in healthy volunteers. A possible explanation of the phenomenon is a β2-adrenoceptor-mediated increase in the specific binding of digoxin to skeletal muscle. The present study was undertaken to further elucidate the effect of salbutamol on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in man. Nine volunteers were studied on two occasions during salbutamol or placebo treatment. On test days salbutamol, 4 μg·kg−1·h−1 or saline was infused for 10 h, preceded and followed by four and three days, respectively, of oral administration. A single i. v. injection of digoxin 15 μg·kg−1, was given 20 min after starting the infusion. At the end of the infusion a muscle biopsy was taken from the vastus lateralis. Blood samples for the analysis of serum digoxin and potassium were repeatedly taken over 72 h. Urine was collected over a period of 24 h for determination of the renal excretion of digoxin and potassium. The serum digoxin concentration, expressed as the AUC 0–6 h was 15% lower during salbutamol infusion than during saline infusion. Salbutamol caused significantly faster elimination of digoxin from the central volume of distribution to deeper compartments. Salbutamol had no effect on the renal clearance of digoxin. The skeletal muscle digoxin concentration tended to be higher (48%) during salbutamol compared to placebo treatment. The serum potassium concentration was significantly lower after salbutamol compared to placebo, as was the rate of renal excretion of potassium. The results support the hypothesis that the salbutamol-induced decrease in serum digoxin is caused by increased distribution of digoxin to skeletal muscle (and possibly other tissues), and that this may be secondary to a β2-adrenoceptor-mediated increase in Na-K-ATPase activity.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of oral nicorandil 20 mg 12 hourly for 9 doses was evaluated in 21 hospitalized patients with angina pectoris due to coronary heart disease and with normal and impaired renal function. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on creatinine clearance (CLCr): GROUP I (n=6) 〉 80 ml/min, GROUP II (n=8) 20–80 ml/min, and GROUP III (n=7) 〈 20 ml/min. After the first dose, the total clearance of nicorandil (CL) value did not change with increasing renal failure and so was not dependent on creatinine clearance. After the last dose CL was 51 l·h−1 in Group I, 44 l·h−1 in Group II and 56 l·h−1 in Group III, and it was not related to creatinine clearance. The percentage of the dose excreted in the urine was 0.4%. No significant difference was noted in any of the other pharmacokinetic parameters examined in the three groups, not even on comparing values obtained on the first and last days of treatment. The findings suggest that there is no need to change the dose of nicorandil in subjects with different degrees of renal failure.

    Notes: Summary We gave 12 healthy male volunteers 1 mg of alprazolam or placebo on three occasions after a standard breakfast in a double-blind, randomized, single-dose, three-way crossover study. The three trials were: (a) oral alprazolam and sublingual placebo; (b) oral placebo and sublingual alprazolam; (c) placebo by both routes. Plasma alprazolam concentrations during 24 h after each dose were measured by electron-capture gas-liquid chromatography. Peak plasma concentrations were reached later after sublingual than oral dosage (2.8 vs 1.8 h, P〈0.01). Other kinetic variables were not significantly different: peak plasma concentration, 11.3 vs 12.0 ng·ml−1; elimination half-life, 12.5 vs 11.7 h; and total area under the plasma concentration versus time curve, 197 vs 186 h·ng·ml−1. Pharmacodynamic measures showed that sublingual and oral alprazolam both produced sedation, fatigue, impaired digit symbol substitution, slowing of reaction time, and impairment of the acquisition and recall of information. These changes were initially observed at 0.5 h after dosage and lasted up to 8 h. In general the two routes were significantly different from placebo but not from each other.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of ethanol in plasma and whole blood have been investigated and the results used to estimate the volume of total body water (TBW) by means of the dilution principle. Fifteen men (mean age 62 y) were given 0.6 g ethanol/kg body weight as an intravenous infusion over 1 h. The peak concentration of ethanol in plasma was 120 mg·dl−1 compared to 108 mg·dl−1 for whole blood. The disappearance rate of ethanol from plasma was 18.6 mg·dl−1·h−1 compared to 17.0 mg·dl−1·h−1 for the whole blood concentration-time data. The apparent volume of distribution of ethanol (Vz) was 0.54 l·kg−1 according to plasma kinetics compared to 0.59 l·kg−1 for the kinetics derived from whole blood. The mean area under the curve (AUC) was 294 mg·dl−1×h for plasma kinetics compared to 266 mg·dl−1×h for whole blood. The TBW was 40.9 l or 50.9% of body weight for the plasma concentration-time data. This agreed well with the 40.3 l or 50.1% of body weight obtained using whole blood.

    Notes: Summary A commercially available 1.0 g intravenous (i.v.) dosage formulation of methylprednisolone, as the sodium hemisuccinate salt (Solu MedrolR, Upjohn) was administered both parenterally and orally (pulse steroid therapy) on separate occasions, to eight elderly (mean 65 y) patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. The relative oral bioavailability of the sterol was 69.2%. Elimination of methylprednisolone was prolonged when given orally; the mean residence times were 7.23 h and 3.94 h for oral and i.v. administrations, respectively. Clinical response to pulse steroid therapy was no different with respect to route of administration. There were no significant differences in standard clinical and laboratory assessments of disease activity when the two therapies were compared. Oral administration of methylprednisolone in patients requiring high-dose pulse steroid therapy is convenient and avoids the discomfort and inconvenience associated with i.v. administration.

    Notes: Summary Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), a physiological component of the L-carnitine family, has been proposed for treating Alzheimer's disease in pharmacological doses. As this condition requires prolonged therapy, its kinetics has been examined after a multiple dose regimen, involving different routes of administration, in 11 patients suffering from Senile Dementia of Alzheimer Type. The study design comprised a 3-day basal observation period, sham treatment with repeated blood sampling; treatment with 30 mg·kg−1 i.v. given twice for 10 days (plasma kinetics was studied on the 7th day), and 50 days of 2.0 g/day p.o. given in three daily doses. Total acid soluble L-carnitine, L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine in plasma and CSF were evaluated using an enantioselective radioenzyme assay. Short chain L-carnitine esters were calculated as the difference between total and free-L-carnitine. The plasma concentrations of individual components of the L-carnitine family did not change during the three days of the basal period, nor were they affected during the sham therapy period. Following the i.v. bolus injections, the plasma concentrations showed a biphasic curve, with average t1/2 of 0.073 h and 1.73 h, respectively. At the end of oral treatment, plasma acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine short chain esters were significantly higher than during the run-in phase. The CSF concentrations paralleled those in plasma, suggesting that ALC easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is concluded that i.v. and oral administration of multiple doses of ALC can increase its plasma and CSF concentration in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

    Notes: Summary 7 patients with end-stage renal disease on regular haemodialysis were treated orally with a loading dose of 200 mg ofloxacin and multiple maintenance doses of 100 mg per 24 h for 10 days. The pharmacokinetics of ofloxacin and its metabolites were studied at the end of the treatment period. Plasma and dialysate concentrations of ofloxacin and ofloxacin metabolites were measured by HPLC. Peak (3.1 mg·1−1) and trough levels (1.6 mg·1−1) and the AUC of ofloxacin were comparable to the values in healthy volunteers given 300 to 400 mg ofloxacin p.o. The mean half-life, determined in the dialysis-free interval (t1/2β) and during the haemodialysis session (t1/2HD), was 38.5 h and 9.9 h, respectively. Extrarenal clearance (32.7 ml·min−1) was unchanged as compared to that reported in healthy volunteers after a single dose of ofloxacin. The fractional removal by haemodialysis amounted to 21.5%. Two metabolites, ofloxacin-N-oxide and demethyl-ofloxacin, were detected in plasma. Despite prolonged t1/2β of both metabolites (66.1 and 50.9 h) and multiple doses of ofloxacin the peak concentrations of the metabolites reached only 14% and 5% of that of the parent drug, respectively. It is concluded that in patients on regular haemodialysis treatment the dosage adjustment employed resulted in safe and therapeutically favourable plasma concentrations. The observed accumulation of ofloxacin metabolites does not appear to have any toxic or therapeutic significance.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis concurrently treated with choline magnesium trisalicylate, ibuprofen, naproxen, or a non-NSAID analgesic (control treatment). The apparent systemic clearance of methotrexate was significantly reduced by all three treatments. Trisalicylate and ibuprofen both significantly reduced methotrexate renal clearance, but only the trisalicylate significantly displaced methotrexate from protein, increasing the fraction unbound by 28%. These data show that NSAIDs can affect the disposition of methotrexate, possibly increasing the potential for toxicity and necessitating dosage adjustments. However, large inter-subject variability precludes specific dosage recommendations.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of a single oral dose of mefloquine given either alone or with tetracycline has been studied in 20 healthy Thai male volunteers. There was a significantly higher maximum whole blood mefloquine concentration after coadministration with tetracycline (1600 vs 1160 ng · ml−1), as well as a significantly reduced terminal half-life (14.4 vs 19.3 days), mean residence time (11.9 vs 16.0 days) and volume of distribution at steady state (13.3 vs 19.91 · kg−1). Although there was no significant change in the AUC from zero time to infinity, the AUC from zero time to 7 days was significantly increased by tetracycline (6.18 vs 4.76 μg · ml−1 · day). The changes in mefloquine disposition after tetracycline treatment are probably due to a reduction in enterohepatic recycling. The initial increase in mefloquine AUC without an apparent increase in side-effects suggests that this combination may have a place in the treatment of multi-drug resistant falciparum malaria.

    Notes: Summary Cyclosporine (Cy) binds to lipoproteins in plasma. In order to test if its pharmacokinetics would be modified when efficient lipid-lowering treatment is introduced, a study has been done of Cy pharmacokinetics and any interaction with the lipid-lowering agent fenofibrate in hyperlipidaemic long-term, survivors of heart transplantation. Fenofibrate 200 mg once daily significantly reduced blood lipids (cholesterol 6.5 vs 7.7 mmol/l; apoprotein B 1.2 vs 1.6 g/l) but did not modify mean whole blood Cy trough levels (113 before fenofibrate vs 103 ng·ml−1), Cmax (812 ng·ml−1 by RIA and 757 ng·ml−1 by HPLC before fenofibrate versus 865 and 741 respectively, during fenofibrate); tmax (1.6 and 1.7 h before fenofibrate versus 1.4 and 1.4 h respectively), and t1/2 (13.9 and 11.1 h versus 9.5 and 10.7 h). The only adverse effect was an increase in creatinine (157 vs 145 mmol/l). Further studies are needed to investigate the mechanism of Cy-fenofibrate nephrotoxicity and to evaluate the long-term efficiency and safety of fenofibrate after heart transplantation.

    Notes: Summary A novel liquid chromatographic method for the determination of thiamine in plasma has been developed and has been used to study plasma thiamine concentrations after multiple dosage regimens for 11 days. The method involves purification, concentration and analytical separation of thiochrome on-line, using a switching column system. Ten healthy men were given 500 mg thiamine i.m. once a day (Group 1) and ten were given 250 mg p.o. every 12 h (Group 2). The times to reach steady state (7 and 5.6 days for Groups 1 and 2, respectively) were not different (P〉0.05). The mean elimination half-life was 1.8 days. The mean minimum steady-state concentration after the oral regimen (23 μg·l−1) was 78% of that after the intramuscular regime (29 μg·l−1).

    Notes: Summary The possibility of a pharmacokinetic interaction between isosorbide-5-mononitrate (5-ISMN) and epinine, the active metabolite of ibopamine, has been investigated in 8 healthy male subjects given single doses of 200 mg ibopamine and 20 mg 5-ISMN, separately and together. The plasma 5-ISMN concentration-time profile was the same whether 5-ISMN was administered concomitantly with ibopamine or alone [AUC(o-t): 2.24 μg·ml−1·h after 5-ISMN alone, 2.16 μg·ml−1·h after 5-ISMN + ibopamine]. The plasma concentrations of total and free epinine and the urinary recovery of total epinine, homovanillic acid and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, too, were not different when ibopamine was administered alone or concomitantly with 5-ISMN. The intake of ibopamine did not change the blood pressure and heart rate. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure induced by 5-ISMN was not influenced by concomitant intake of ibopamine. The observations suggest that in healthy volunteers there is no pharmacokinetic interaction between 5-ISMN and ibopamine.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between metamizole (dipyrone) and furosemide were investigated in 9 of 12 healthy female subjects able to complete the study. They received oral metamizole 3×1 g for 3 days or placebo (cross-over) and on the last day of both study periods furosemide 20 mg IV. On the last two days a balanced sodium diet (120 mEq) and on Day 3 an oral water load (600 ml) were given. Metamizole significantly inhibited basal urine flow, whereas the fractional excretion of sodium and chloride and the 12 h-GFR remained unchanged. Metamizole significantly reduced furosemide clearance (175 vs 141 ml · min−1), furosemide-stimulated plasma renin activity (1.42 vs 0.79 ng AI · ml−1 · h−1) and the urinary excretion of prostacyclin metabolites and of prostaglandin F2α (by 70–81%). The renal clearance and terminal half-life of furosemide, peak renal chloride and volume excretion were unchanged. Thus, metamizole did not interact with the renal excretion and the diuretic effect of furosemide, although prostaglandin synthesis was significantly reduced.

    Notes: Summary Plasma levels and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) values of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) were determined in a balanced crossover study of oral (powder) and rectal (macrogol suppository) administration to 5 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The AUC (538.6 ng · h · ml−1) after the rectal dose of 30 mg/m2 was approximately 1.5-times of that (365.5 ng · h · ml−1) after the oral dose of 87.5 mg/m2. The coefficients of variation of interindividual variability of the AUCs were 21.5% and 32.3%, respectively. The relative bioavailability of the macrogol suppository compared to the powder was approximately 4.39. These findings indicate that rectal administration of 6-MP could avoid the first-pass effect of this drug in the alimentary canal and/or liver, resulting in a large AUC of 6-MP, and so could reduce interindividual variability in plasma 6-MP concentrations. Rectal administration of 6-MP may be more effective than empirical oral dosing for the treatment of children with ALL, especially for patients with nausea and/or vomiting.

    Notes: Summary Vancomycin is usually given only once a week to haemodialysis (HD) patients. If highly permeable dialysis membranes are used, however, high clearance values have been reported, so the aim of the study was to determine whether high clearance of vancomycin resulted in sufficient drug elimination to induce subtherapeutic plasma levels after one week. In 18 chronic HD patients, treated with polysulfone dialyzers (1.2 m2), the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin were studied after administration of 1 g. Concentrations were determined by fluorescence polarisation immunoassay. At a blood flow of 219 ml·min−1, HD clearance of vancomycin was 62.3 ml·min−1. Immediately after dialysis plasma concentrations were 38% lower than predialysis levels. However, marked rebound in the vancomycin level was observed 5 h later, resulting in plasma levels only 16% lower than prior to dialysis. 3 HD treatments in 1 week removed about one third of the initial dose. After one week 15 of 18 patients still had a therapeutic plasma level (〉5 μg·ml−1). In conclusion, polysulfone membranes show high clearance of vancomycin. However, transfer of drug from blood to dialysate appears to be faster than from tissues to blood. Because of a marked rebound in plasma level after treatment, therapeutic drug concentrations will still be present in most patients after one week.

    Notes: Summary It is well known that platelet aggregation shows a morning rise, which may contribute to the increase in the onset of ischaemic heart diseases during the morning period. The present study was undertaken to determine whether nocturnal dosage with S-1452, a thromboxane AZ receptor antagonist, would blunt the morning rise in platelet aggregability. S-1452 50 mg or placebo were given orally to 8 healthy subjects at 10.00 h (day trial) or 22.00 h (night trial) according to a cross-over design. Plasma concentrations of S-1452 and its metabolites, bisnor-( + )-S-145 and tetranor-(+ )-S-145, and platelet aggregation were determined during the 12-hour period following the dose. Mean plasma concentrations of S-1452, bisnor-( + )-S-145 and tetranor-(+ )-S-145 during the absorption phase were lower after the nocturnal dose than after the morning dose. The maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve of the compounds were also lower and the time to the maximum concentration were delayed after the treatment at night. A morning rise in platelet aggregation was observed following placebo treatment. The inhibitory effect of S-1452 on platelet aggregation was observed at 3 hours and persisted for up to 9 h in both trials. The results suggest that S-1452 is absorbed more slowly after the nocturnal dose than after the morning dose. However nocturnal treatment with 50 mg S-1452 may blunt the morning rise in platelet aggregability.

    Notes: Summary Human calcitonin (hCT) injected into the lumen of the descending colon of normal human subjects was absorbed within minutes and could be recognized intact in plasma as shown by RIA in combination with reverse-phase HPLC. The absorption was low and variable, with bioavailabilities ranging from 0.01% to 2.7% relative to intravenously administered hCT (area under the concentrationtime curve). With intravenous hCT serum calcium was lowered and the fractional urinary excretion of calcium, phosphorus, sodium and chloride was significantly stimulated. With the intracolonic hCT, the fractional urinary excretions of calcium, sodium and chloride were also marginally stimulated relative to intracolonic vehicle (placebo). In conclusion, hCT is absorbed intact from the colon, but the bioavailability is low and highly variable.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic and acute systemic haemodynamic effects of a single oral dose of 50 mg carvedilol has been studied in 24 hypertensive patients with chronic renal failure. The patients were stratified into 3 groups according to the creatinine clearance: I 51–90 ml · min−1; II 26–50 ml · min−1; III 4–25 ml · min−1. The area under plasma level time curve AUC, the elimination half-life t/12, the maximum plasma concentration Cmax, the time to peak concentration tmax were not significantly different between groups, whereas the amount of unchanged drug or metabolite excreted in urine Ae and the renal clearance CLR of carvedilol and its metabolites M2, M4, M5 were significantly decreased in Group III. Blood pressure and heart rate decreased in all 3 groups of patients after acute administration of 50 mg carvedilol. Mild adverse effects were reported in 6 patients. Despite a decrease in the renal clearance of carvedilol and of its metabolites with decreasing kidney function, its main pharmacokinetic parameters remained unchanged. The present results suggest that the dose of carvedilol need not be reduced in hypertensive patients with chronic renal failure.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the pharmacokinetics of tiopronin and its principal metabolite, 2-mercaptopropionic acid (2-MPA) in healthy volunteers after the oral administration of 500 mg (2 Acadione® tablets), followed by simultaneous assay of the two compounds in plasma over a period of 48 h using a new method (emission of fluorescence after HPLC and post-column derivatization by pyrene-maleimide). The absorption of tiopronin was slow (tmax between 4 and 6 h) and the plasma concentrations subsequently fell biexponentially. The principal metabolite 2-MPA appeared later in the plasma (tmax between 10 and 12 h after a lag-time of 3 h) then disappeared monoexponentially. About 15% of the tiopronin was metabolized to 2-MPA.

    Notes: Summary The effects of three gastric antisecretory drugs on the pharmacokinetics of ethanol have been studied in a randomized crossover experiment. Male medical students (n=12) took ethanol 0.8 g/kg body weight at 08.00 h after an overnight fast. On seven successive days before drinking ethanol they were given omeprazole 20 mg, cimetidine 800 mg, ranitidine 300 mg, or no drug, with a period of at least 7 days between treatments. The peak blood ethanol concentration of 21.9 to 22.8 mmol·l−1 occurred at 64 to 70 min after the end of drinking. The rate of disappearance of ethanol from the blood ranged from 3.0 to 3.3 mmol·l−1·h−1 and the rate of removal from the whole body ranged from 8.0 to 8.5 g·h−1. The apparent volume of distribution of ethanol was almost the same for all four treatments: mean 0.68 l·kg−1, corresponding to a mean total body water of 441 (59% body weight). Mean areas under the concentration-time profiles of ethanol ranged from 83 to 87 mmol·l−1·h for the four treatments. It is concluded that omeprazole, cimetidine and ranitidine do not alter the kinetics of a moderate dose of ethanol.

    Notes: Summary The influence of tenoxicam on plasma warfarin concentrations and on its anticoagulant effect has been studied in healthy volunteers. Tenoxicam did not alter the plasma warfarin concentration versus time profile. Treatment with it for 14 days had no effect on the average dose of warfarin required to maintain the prothrombin time within a specified range. The coumarin dose index, an indicator of warfarin sensitivity, remained unchanged during tenoxicam administration. The results demonstrate the lack of a clinically relevant effect of tenoxicam on warfarin-induced anticoagulation.

    Notes: Summary In a randomized, cross-over, single-dose study of 19 elderly hypertensive patients (aged 62–84 y, SBP 〉 160 mm Hg, DBP 〉 100 mm Hg, creatinine clearance 11–93 ml·min−1) we have studied the pharmacokinetics of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor enalapril after a single oral dose of either 10 mg enalapril or 10 mg enalapril + 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide. The pharmacokinetics of enalapril were unaffected by hydrochlorothiazide, but there was a significant reduction in renal clearance and a significant increase in AUC(0–24 h) of enalaprilat after hydrochlorothiazide, resulting in higher serum concentrations of the active drug. This was independent of the individual degree of renal impairment and might be due either to an initial reduction of GFR by hydrochlorothiazide or to interference with the tubular secretion of enalaprilat. The relationships between serum enalaprilat and serum ACE activity were similar after both treatments, both consistent with a value for Ki of enalaprilat of about 0.1 nmol·l−1. Thus, serum ACE activity was not affected by hydrochlorothiazide but completely reflected the pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat in both treatments.

    Notes: Summary We have given 12 healthy subjects the H1-antihistamine ebastine (20 mg) or placebo in a double-blind, crossover study for one week each. The subjects were tested for drug effects on Day 6 of each period, and for interactions of ebastine with ethanol (0.8 g·kg−1) on Day 7. On both days, the testing runs were done at baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 h after the drug. Performance was evaluated both objectively (digit symbol substitution, flicker fusion, Maddox wing, nystagmus, simulated driving, body balance) and subjectively (visual analogue scales) and with questionnaires. Venous blood samples were taken daily during maintenance and during each test run for assay of plasma carebastine. Blood ethanol concentrations were assayed with an Alcolmeter in the breath and directly in the blood. Plasma carebastine concentration reached a steady-state from Day 3 on; the mean concentrations in the morning were 92 µg·l−1 on Day 6 and 104 µg·l−1 on Day 7. The rise in plasma carebastine after an extra 20 mg of ebastine was accelerated but not increased by ethanol. Ebastine did not impair performance objectively or subjectively. It slightly improved body balance and reduced errors during simple tracking at 4 h. Blood ethanol concentrations peaked (mean 0.76 g·l−1) at 1.5 h after ethanol intake. Ethanol impaired performance in most objective tests and produced clumsiness, muzziness, and mental slowness, but little drowsiness. Ebastine neither modified the blood ethanol concentrations nor increased the effects of ethanol. We conclude that treatment with 20 mg ebastine once daily for one week provides steady concentrations of carebastine in plasma without impairment of skilled performance or important interactions with alcohol.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the pharmacokinetics of tenoxicam after single and multiple oral doses of 20 mg in five patients (2 men and 3 women) with end-stage renal disease undergoing haemodialysis. After a single dose, tenoxicam had a half-life (t1/2) of 33 h, an apparent clearance (CL·f−1) of 4.3 ml·min−1, and an apparent volume of distribution (Vz·f−1) of 11.8 l. The maximum tenoxicam concentration (Cmax) was 4.3 mg·l−1 at a median tmax of 1.7 h. There were no significant differences between the values calculated from the pre- or post-dialyser port plasma samples. Tenoxicam plasma concentrations measured during once daily dosing before and after haemodialysis showed that tenoxicam does not accumulate. Our findings suggest that dosage adjustment may not be required in patients with end-stage renal disease on haemodialysis taking tenoxicam.

At the highest infusion rate, the arterial and venous plasma concentrations of noradrenaline increased from 1.18 to 44.1 nmol · l−1and from 1.14 to 31.9 nmol · l−1, respectively, and of adrenaline from 0.29 to 23.9 nmol · l−1 and from 0.28 to 19.3 nmol · l−1 respectively. The peripheral venous plasma concentration of noradrenaline averaged 76% of the arterial concentration, and of adrenaline it was 73%. There was a linear relationship between the peripheral venous and arterial plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline concentrations at therapeutic doses.

    Notes: Summary A novel slow release preparation containing 24 mg molsidomine has been investigated in 6 healthy subjects. Individual concentration/time-profiles after the tablet showed two separate concentration peaks at 2.2 h and 15.0 h. The relative bioavailability of the slow release preparation in comparison to an aqueous solution of molsidomine was 0.67. The in vivo dissolution profile revealed either a progressive decrease in dissolution velocity caused by altered physico-chemical conditions in the ileum and the colon or a progressive reduction in the absorption constant. In all subjects deconvolution revealed a punctual increase in absorption about 15 h post-dose, coinciding with the second peak of the concentration/time-profile. Therapeutic plasma levels of molsidomine (〉 5 ng · ml−1 were not maintained over 24 h by this slow release formulation.

    Notes: Summary The chronic oral administration of 0.07 mg digitoxin o. d. for up to 58 days to 12 healthy volunteers caused a small drop in mean heart rate HR (95 % CI: −7.9 to −1.6 beats · min−1), in mean diastolic blood pressure (95 % CI: −8.3 to −0.4 mm Hg), shortening of the QTc-interval (95 % CI: −42 to −19 ms), shortening of the HR-corrected pre-ejection period PEPc (95 % CI: −16 to −1 ms) and electromechanical systole QS2c (95 % CI: −25 to −1 ms), and an increase in the impedance cardiographic Heather index (dZ/dtmax/RZ, 95 % CI: 0.3 to 4.3) relative to the baseline measurements before digitalisation. The concomitant administration of 25 mg oral captopril b. d. did not significantly alter these responses relative to the concomitant double-blind administration of placebo, nor did it alter the pharmacokinetic characteristics of plasma digitoxin at steady state. Thus, no relevant change in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of chronically administered digitoxin were induced by concomitant treatment with captopril.

    Notes: Summary The effect of drinking grapefruit juice on the acute pharmacokinetic and haemodynamic actions of the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist felodipine given as a 5 mg plain tablet has been studied in nine, healthy, middle-aged males. Compared to water, grapefruit juice caused an increase in Cmax from mean 6 to 16 nmol · l−1, and in the AUC from 23 to 65 nmol · h · l−1. The change in AUC corresponded to an increase in the systemic availability of felodipine from 15 to 45%, assuming no change in its clearance. This change was probably caused by inhibition of the oxidation of felodipine to the inactive dehydrofelodipine by flavonoids in grapefruit juice. The interaction with grapefruit juice is believed to be a class effect for the dihydropyridines, as oxidation of the dihydropyridine ring to the corresponding pyridine derivative is a major metabolic route for all these drugs. The higher plasma concentrations of felodipine taken with grapefruit juice resulted in a greater change in blood pressure measured in the morning 3 h after dosing (−9%) than did water (0%).

    Notes: Summary Midazolam is a water soluble benzodiazepine, with a short elimination half-life in adults and children. An IV bolus (0.2 mg·kg−1) immediately followed by continuous infusion of 0.06 mg·kg−1·h−1 was administered to 15 critically ill neonates at a gestational age of 32.8 weeks, who required sedation for mechanical ventilation. Heart rate and blood pressure were closely monitored. Hypotension occurred in 4 patients after the bolus dose or during the continuous infusion. Three of them had also been given fentanyl. Individual pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated: plasma clearance was 3.9 ml·min−1, elimination half-life was 12.0 h. Because of its short half-life compared to diazepam, midazolam may be used during the neonatal period to achieve rapid, brief sedation. However, it should be administered cautiously to neonates, particularly in premature infants, or if fentanyl is also given.

    Notes: Summary The effect of omeprazole treatment on theophylline pharmacokinetics was studied in eight, non-smoking healthy male volunteers during repeated administration of a slow release formulation of theophylline. In a randomized double-blind cross-over study, the subjects received theophylline 5 mg·kg−1 per day with omeprazole 20 mg per day or identical placebo during two periods, each of 7 days, separated by a washout period of 7 days. The oral clearance of theophylline remained unchanged whether it was administered alone or with omeprazole (54.2 ml·min−1). The average urinary excretion of theophylline and its metabolites, 1,3 dimethyluric acid (1,3-DMU), 3-methylxanthine (3-MX), 1-methyluric acid (1-MU) amounted to 9%, 32%, 12% and 22% of the administered dose, respectively, and no significant change occured during concomitant treatment with omeprazole. Thus, the formation and clearance of the metabolites was not altered by omeprazole. Consequently, omeprazole in the recommended dose of 20 mg daily can safely be administered to patients on theophylline therapy.

    Notes: Summary The disposition kinetics and heart rate reducing effect of deacetylmetipranolol (DMP), the active form of the β-adrenoreceptor blocking agent metipranolol (MP), administered as a single 40 mg oral dose have been compared in 6 patients with cirrhosis and 6 healthy volunteers. The mean maximal DMP concentration was significantly higher and the time to reach the peak level shorter in the patients compared to the healthy subjects. There was also a significantly higher AUC of DMP, a shorter half-life of the rapid phase of the decline in DMP concentrations, a smaller central compartment and lower apparent DMP clearance in patients. A correlation with the albumin level was observed in cirrhotics for individual values of apparent DMP clearance (r=0.92) and AUC (r=-0.89). The maximal reduction in heart rate was recorded in patients at plasma DMP levels which were already significantly lower than the peak levels. Median inhibitory concentrations (IC50) and maximum possible heart rate reductions (Δ HRmax), obtained by fitting individual plots of the plasma DMP concentration-effect relationship to the inhibitory Emax model in the postdistributional phase of DMP disposition were significantly higher in cirrhotics than in healthy subjects. It is conjectured that down-regulation of adrenoreceptors due to chronic sympathetic activation in hepatic cirrhosis contributes to decreased sensitivity to the reduction in heart rate following a single dose of the beta-blocker.

    Notes: Summary Influence of food on the serum concentration and kinetics ambenonium chloride (AMBC) has been examined in thirteen patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). Mean serum concentrations and Cmax during fasting were higher than those in the non-fasting state. The AUC (0–3 h) was also about four-times larger. The drug effects versus the serum concentration were observed to be anti-clockwise or clockwise. The effective range of the Cmax varied between patients. The unexpected increase in Cmax led to adverse muscarinic actions of AMBC, when the condition was changed from the non-fasting to the fasting state. It is recommended that the dose be changed during non-fasting treatment when adjusting the optimum regimen for patients myasthenia gravis. Patients must be advised to keep to the dosing and dietary schedule in order to avoid unexpected adverse actions to AMBC.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers of nitrendipine has been studied in seven elderly patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and in six control subjects (mean creatinine clearance 30 and 97 ml·min−1 respectively). Racemic nitrendipine 20 mg was given once daily for seven days and the pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers over the last dosage interval were determined using a stereospecific assay. In both groups nitrendipine exhibited stereoselective pharmacokinetics (AUC, Cmax), but the half-lives of the enantiomers did not differ in individual subjects. As an index of stereoselectivity, the mean S/R ratio of AUCs in control subjects (2.07) was not significantly different from the ratio in patients with CRF (2.68). The mean AUCs of (S)- and (R)-nitrendipine during the last dosage interval were increased in CRF by 132% and 85%, respectively. The observed doubling of the half-lives and the increases in Cmax did not reach significance because of the large variability in each group. Thus, the pharmacokinetics of oral nitrendipine is altered in CRF, but there was no change in the stereoselectivity of its pharmacokinetics.

    Notes: Summary Blood levels of racemic chloroquine and its main metabolites desethylchloroquine and bisdesethylchloroquine were measured in 29 patients treated chronically for rheumatoid arthritis. In six patients, the concentrations were followed during a one day dosage interval. There was considerable intersubject variability in the steady state blood concentrations of chloroquine (range 36.6 to 3895 ng·ml−1) and its two main biotransformation products; the latter represented, respectively, 47.7% and 12.9% of the concentration of chloroquine. This finding shows the need for further studies in view of the known toxic effects of chloroquine and the inevitable accumulation due to the exceptionally long residence time of the compound and its metabolites. The main requirement, which has not yet been met, for adding chloroquine to the list of drugs for which therapeutic drug monitoring is useful, is the lack of information about its mechanism of action, and consequently the dose-effect relationships of its therapeutic and toxic actions. Regular ophthalmic examination, in particular, is strongly recommended. The relatively high concentrations of desethylchloroquine and bisdesethylchloroquine found during chronic treatment show the need for more information about the therapeutic value and adverse effects of the metabolites.

    Notes: Summary Fourteen normotensive patients with liver disease (6 with cirrhosis and 8 with chronic hepatitis) and 7 healthy volunteers were given a single oral dose of nilvadipine 2 mg. In addition, nilvadipine 4 mg was administered orally twice daily for several months to 6 hypertensive patients with mild liver dysfunction and 18 hypertensives with normal liver function. A significant increase in plasma nilvadipine was found in the patients with cirrhosis as compared both to the normal and chronic hepatitis subjects; the time to peak concentration was similar among the three groups. The peak plasma nilvadipine concentration was closely correlated both with the serum albumin level and the retention of indocyanine green. Changes in blood pressure, pulse rate and various vasoactive hormones following a single oral dose of nilvadipine did not differ between the groups. Thus, an increase in plasma nilvadipine relative to the level in normal subjects was demonstrated in patients with cirrhosis following a single oral dose, as well as in patients with slight liver dysfunction following long-term oral administration.

    Notes: Summary The possibility of an inhibitory effect of spironolactone on the biliary clearance of digoxin has been investigated in 6 healthy subjects. Plasma clearance and the renal and biliary clearance of digoxin were determined twice at steady state (digoxin 0.5 to 1 mg·d−1 p.o. for 6 days), alone or in combination with spironolactone 200 mg daily, after an intravenous dose of digoxin (0.7 × oral dose) on Day 7. Plasma and urine were collected for 48 h. Biliary clearance of digoxin was determined on Day 8 by a duodenal perfusion technique. During spironolactone treatment plasma digoxin clearance tended to be lower (255 vs 224 ml/min; P=0.057) and renal clearance significantly lower (166 vs 144 ml/min), while the biliary clearance of digoxin remained unchanged (106 vs 103 ml/min). Thus, spironolactone reduced the renal clearance of digoxin by an average of 13%, without affecting its biliary clearance.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of vinorelbine has been investigated by a new HPLC method in 8 cancer patients receiving 8 weekly doses (30 mg·m−2) administered by brief infusion (15 min). The plasma concentration-time curves showed a tri-exponential decay with a long terminal half-life (44.7 h) and a high volume of distribution (Vz=75.61·kg−1). The concentrations after the 8th infusion were significantly lower than after the 1st infusion, but without significant modification of CL (1.28 l·h−1·kg−1) or AUC (0.80 mg·l−1·h). The pharmacokinetic parameters exhibited wide inter-individual variations. The results are consistent with those of previous RIA studies, although the HPLC method appears to be more specific and more precise.

    Notes: Summary The metabolism and systemic availability of codeine have been studied in 12 patients after cholecystectomy. They were given 20 mg codeine as an IV bolus dose on the first day after surgery and 50 mg codeine as a single oral on the fourth day after surgery. Codeine had a medium to high extraction ratio and a total plasma clearance of 10.8 (4.3) ml·min−1·kg−1. The clearance varied fourfold between subjects. All the patients were extensive metabolizers with regard to the debrisoquine/sparteine polymorphism, as tested using dextromethorphan as the probe drug. Nevertheless, the formation of morphine from codeine was very small and plasma morphine concentrations were below the detection limit of 3.3 nmol·1−1 (1 ng·ml−1). As a corollary, the morphine/codeine ratio in the the concentration-time curves was less than 3% in all the patients. The systemic availability of codeine varied extensively between subjects (range 12–84%). This might partly explain differences in the dose of codeine required as an analgesic.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of nifurtimox, a drug used in the treatment of Trypanosoma cruzi infections, has been studied in seven patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis, and in seven healthy subjects. Each subject took nifurtimox 15 mg·kg−1 orally and blood samples were obtained for 10 h after administration. Nifurtimox in serum was analyzed by HPLC. The patients with chronic renal failure had a higher Cmax than the control subjects due to a change in systemic availability. An alternative explanation would be that both the distribution volume and the clearance had changed. The mean half-life in the patients with chronic renal failure was similar to that in the healthy subjects.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of lignocaine has been compared after epidural anaesthesia in diabetics and nondiabetic patients. Epidural lignocaine 8 mg · kg−1 was given to 8 well controlled Type II diabetic and 8 nondiabetic patients and the plasma drug concentration in serial blood samples were measured by HPLC. The plasma level of lignocaine was lower in diabetics compared to non-diabetics. The peak level was attained at 20 min in both groups. The clearance of the drug was significantly higher, (39,9 vs 16,7 ml · min− · kg−) associated with a decreased elimination half-life and mean residence time. The study suggests that the rate of absorption of lignocaine is not altered after epidural administration and that its hepatic metabolism is increased in diabetics compared to non-diabetics.

    Notes: Summary Microdialysis has recently been adapted for sampling the extracellular fluid of various organs in order to measure drug concentrations, and the first clinical application has been published. My aim here is to provide simple rules about how to analyse pharmacokinetic data from such studies. The plotting of data on a time scale and the estimation of C (0) and slopes is not a trivial problem when multicompartmental models are assumed or sampling intervals are unequal. I have developed formulae and algorithms to solve the problem. A simple rule of thumb is given, suggesting when these formulae need to be applied. It is shown that the calculations of half-life and slopes is similar to standard methods for equal sample intervals and that calculation of AUC and clearance may be even more accurate for microdialysis data than for ordinary blood sampling, because of the time-integral character of the dialysis method. I have dealt with both zero-order and first-order kinetics.

    Notes: Summary The steady state pharmacokinetics of pirmenol was compared in twelve healthy young (aged 18 to 45 y) and 11 elderly subjects (over 65 y) subjects given pirmenol HCl 100 mg every 12 h for a total of 14 doses. In addition, the single-dose pharmacokinetics of pirmenol was determined following a 100 mg oral dose in the young subject group for comparison with the results of repeated administration. In the young subjects, the mean single-dose and steady-state CLR of pirmenol were similar; however, Ae was 29 % higher and CL/f was 22 % lower at steady state than after the single dose. Steady-state (fourteenth dose) Cmin, Cmax, tmax, λz, Ae, CL/f, CLR and V values were similar in the young and elderly subjects. Based on pharmacokinetic considerations, the dosage of pirmenol is unlikely to differ in young and elderly subjects.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the effects of quinidine on ECG intervals and on the pharmacokinetics of flecainide and its two metabolites in 6 healthy men in an open randomized crossover study. Flecainide acetate (150 mg) was given as a constant rate i. v. infusion over 30 min. Quinidine (50 mg orally), given the previous evening, did not change the volume of distribution of flecainide (7.9 vs 7.41·kg−1), but significantly increased its half-life (8.8 vs 10.7 h). This was attributable to a reduction in total clearance (10.6 vs 8.1 ml·min−1·kg−1), most of it being accounted for by a reduction in non-renal clearance (7.2 vs 5.2 ml·min−1·kg−1). The excretion of the metabolites of flecainide over 48 h was significantly reduced. These findings suggest that quinidine inhibits the first step of flecainide metabolism, although it may also reduce its renal clearance, but to a lesser extent (3.5 vs 2.9 ml·min−1·kg−1). The effects of flecainide on ECG intervals were not altered by quinidine. Thus, quinidine tends to shift extensive metabolizer status for flecainide towards poor metabolizer status and may also alter its renal excretion.

    Notes: Summary B.3839 is the prototype compound in a series of novel molecular combinations of chloroethylnitrosoureas and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and has been tested against MAC tumours in mice. Previous studies have shown it is moderately active against MAC15A and highly active against MAC13 though this activity is dependent on route of administration. The aim of this study was to determine whether bioavailability could explain this difference in anti-tumour activity. Plasma levels of B.3839 and 5-FU after i.p. and oral administration were measured using HPLC. Non tumour-bearing and MAC26 bearing mice gave almost identical plasma profiles after i.p. administration with the Cmax being 29.8 and 30.4μ gml−1 and t1/2 16 and 15 min. The AUCs were 15.3 and 13.9μg h ml−1 suggesting tumour load had no influence over plasma levels. Oral administration gave a much lower Cmax of 8.0μg ml−1 but an AUC of 15.2μg h ml−1 due to a longer terminal t1/2 (94 min) giving 99% bioavailability. Levels of 5-FU release from B.3839 by either route were considered too small to influence anti-tumour activity. Cytotoxicity assaysin vitro against the MAC lines gave IC70 values of 5.3, 13.8 and 8.6μg ml−1 for MAC 26,13 and 15A respectively after a one hour exposure. Bone marrow toxicity was shown to be less severe than that of TCNU which is currently in clinical trials. The results show bioavailability alone is not enough to explain tumour response. There appears to be a need for a threshold concentration (C) to be maintained for a period of time (t).

    Notes: Summary The frequency of both neurologic toxicity and therapeutic response due to intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy is decreased by dose reduction. A method to individualize IA drug dosage is needed to provide each patient with the safest, most effective dose. Most trials of IA chemotherapy for malignant glioma have used body surface area (BSA) to calculate dosage; but brain size and arterial distribution do not correlate well with BSA. Fixed doses of cisplatin and BCNU were used in combination to perform 35 IA infusions in 20 malignant gliomas patients. Doses modified by the number of major intracranial vessels supplied by the infused artery were used in 34 infusions in 19 patients. Patients receiving 150 to 200 mg CP and 300 mg BCNU had an incidence of neurologic deficit of 5.6% if ≥ 3 vessels were supplied by the infused artery compared to 42% for those with only 2 vessels. This crude dose modification maintained efficacy while reducing neurologic toxicity. Further refinement is possible using well established intra-arterial pharmacokinetic principles. Intra-arterial dosing based on volume flow at the site of infusion would yield a more reproducible exposure of the infused capillary bed to a drug than methods currently in use. More consistent drug exposure should reduce toxicity due to over dosing and treatment failure due to under dosing.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of prednisolone were evaluated in normal male volunteers. Seven subjects completed 3 phases: 16.4−and 49.2−mg iv prednisolone, and a phase with no drug to assess baseline responses. Plasma concentrations of prednisolone and urine concentrations of prednisolone and 5 metabolites were assayed by HPLC. Protein binding of prednisolone was measured by ultrafiltration. The polyexponential disposition of free and total plasma prednisolone were evaluated and apparent parameters were compared between doses. Suppression of plasma cortisol and alterations in blood basophil and helper-T cell trafficking were used as pharmacodynamic indices. Pharmacodynamic models were used to relate total or free plasma prednisolone concentrations to each of these effects generating response parameters and IC50 (50% inhibitory) concentrations common to both doses. The pharmacokinetics of total drug were comparable to previous findings with CLand Vss increasing with dose. Free prednisolone exhibited slight capacitylimited elimination and distribution as CLand Vss decreased with the larger dose. Pharmacodynamic models jointly fitting all three phases characterized the suppression/trafficking phenomena equally well with use of total or free drug concentrations. In each case the models provided realistic values of parameters relating to steroid sensitivity-in particular IC50-and to the underlying physiology of the affected systems. This study comprehensively elucidates the complexities of prednisolone pharmacokinetics and demonstrates how plasma concentration-time profiles of total or free prednisolone can be utilized for evaluation of prednisolone pharmacodynamics.

    Notes: Abstract Ivermectin was injected subcutaneously into five pigs at the usual dose rate of 300 µg/kg and found to distribute well to all tissues and body fluids which were sampled 24 h post-injection. Ivermectin was detected in the contents and mucus at all levels of the gastrointestinal tract. The drug was excreted in bile, with high concentrations of the drug in the intestines and faeces. High concentrations of ivermectin were measured in skin, ears and ear wax, suggesting that the drug should be effective in the treatment of ectoparasitic infestations, particularly ear mites. The high lipid solubility of the drug may explain the high concentrations found in ear wax and skin. Ivermectin was also detected in the body fluids and tissues of an untreated pig penned with the treated animals. Direct contact appeared to be necessary for transfer of ivermectin from the treated to the untreated pig but coprophagia or urine drinking is a possible explanation. The pharmacokinetics of ivermectin administered subcutaneously at a dose rate of 300 µg/kg to six pigs were studied. There was marked individual variation in the pharmacokinetics of ivermectin. In one pig the area under the plasma concentration-time curve was particularly high. This may reflect individual variation in uptake and excretion of the drug. The mean elimination half-life of the drug was 35.2 h, suggesting that the drug is cleared slowly from pigs with drug detectable in plasma for 6–10 days. This persistence should allow a short period of protection before re-infection with parasites.

    Notes: Abstract Some pharmacokinetic parameters of aditoprim were determined in 3- and 6-month-old pigs. After intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg body weight, the mean total body clearance of the older pigs was smaller than that of the younger pigs. This difference was not reflected in the elimination half-life. After oral administration of 5 mg/kg body weight, the mean absorption rate constant was smaller and the mean absorption half-life was longer in the older pigs. The age-related changes in the pharmacokinetics of aditoprim were not sufficiently pronounced to suggest the necessity of modifying the oral dosage regimen in pigs of this age range. The favourable pharmacokinetics of aditoprim in pigs (large apparent volume of distribution, long elimination half-life and high bioavailability) may permit introduction of this drug into swine practice, after safety and residue depletion studies.

    Notes: Abstract The bioavailability of three formulations of ivermectin was determined following oral administration to dogs. The average peak plasma level (C max) of ivermectin administered in the standard tablet formulation at 6 and 100 µg/kg of body weight was 2.97 and 44.31 ng/g, respectively. This suggest dose-dependent pharmacokinetics.C max and total ivermectin bioavailability, as assessed from the area under the plasma curve (AUC), were similar between two tablet formulations of ivermectin administered at 100 µg/kg. Furthermore,C max was similar following administration of radiolabelled ivermectin at 6 µg/kg in either a beef-based chewable formulation or in the standard tablet formulation.

    Notes: Abstract Comparative studies on some selected pharmacokinetic parameters for kanamycin in sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens and pigeons, and for apramycin in sheep, rabbits, chickens and pigeons were carried out after intravenous administration of the two drugs at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The results revealed that a two-compartment open model was most suitable for kanamycin, while for apramycin a one-compartment open model was usually optimal. The log distribution rate constant (α) of kanamycin was significantly correlated to the log of the body mass (r=0.919,n=5,p〈0.05). Interspecies differences in the apparent volume of distribution (Vda) of kanamycin were small. These differences were larger for apramycin, as were the variations in the area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) and in the total body clearance (ClB) of both kanamycin and apramycin, both having almost a threefold difference depending on the species but without any correlation to body mass. The values of the log half-life of kanamycin in the mammals in this study and also those from data in the literature revealed a significant correlation with log body mass between animal species according to the equation: $$t_{{\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em\lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}\beta } = 38.47W^{0.21} (r = 0.7648,n - 10,p〈 0.05)$$ .

    Notes: Abstract Computer-controlled infusion pumps incorporating an internal model of drug pharmacokinetics can rapidly achieve and maintain constant drug concentrations in the plasma. Although these pumps offer more accurate titration of intravenous drugs than is possible with simple boluses or constant rate infusions, the choice of the plasma as the target site is arbitrary. The plasma is not the site of drug effect for most drugs. This manuscript describes two algorithms for calculation of the infusion rates necessary for a computer-controlled infusion pump to rapidly achieve, and then maintain, the desired target concentration at the site of drug effect rather than in the plasma.

    Notes: Abstract To examine the relationship between the electroencephalograph (EEG) and plasma opioid concentration, one would like to collapse the high-dimensional EEG signal into a univariate quantity. Such a simplification of the EEG is desirable because a univariate quantity can be modeled using standard nonlinear regression techniques, and because most of the information in the EEG is redundant or unrelated to drug concentration. In previous studies of the EEG response to opioids, the manner in which a univariate component was extracted from the EEG was ad hoc.In this paper, this extraction was performed optimally using a new statistical technique, semilinear canonical correlation. Data from 15 patients who received an intravenous infusion of the semisynthetic opioid alfentanil were analyzed. The components of the EEG that were nearly maximally correlated with plasma drug concentration were found, based on a standard pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model. Two new EEG components were produced from the powers in the frequency spectrum of the EEG: a weighted sum of the logarithms of the powers, and a weighted sum of the powers expressed as percentages of the total power. These components both had a median R2 of 0.84, compared to median R2sranging from 0.37 to 0.83 for five commonly used ad hocEEG components. The new components also had less variability in R2 between subjects.

    Notes: Abstract One major task in clinical pharmacology is to determine the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) parameters of a drug in a patient population. NONMEM is a program commonly used to build population PK-PD models, that is, models that characterize the relationship between a patient's PK-PD parameters and other patient specific covariates such as the patient's (patho)physiological condition, concomitant drug therapy, etc. This paper extends a previously described approach to efficiently find the relationships between the PK-PD parameters and covariates. In a first step, individual estimates of the PK-PD parameters are obtained as empirical Bayes estimates, based on a prior NONMEM fit using no covariates. In a second step, the individual PK-PD parameter estimates are regressed on the covariates using a generalized additive model. In a third and final step, NONMEM is used to optimize and finalize the population model. Four real-data examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. The examples show that the generalized additive model for the individual parameter estimates is a good initial guess for the NONMEM population model. In all four examples, the approach successfully selects the most important covariates and their functional representation. The great advantage of this approach is speed. The time required to derive a population model is markedly reduced because the number of necessary NONMEM runs is reduced. Furthermore, the approach provides a nice graphical representation of the relationships between the PK-PD parameters and covariates.

    Notes: Abstract Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been developed describing the disposition kinetics of nicotine and its major metabolite, cotinine, in man. Separate 9-compartment, flow-limited PBPK models were initially created for nicotine and cotinine. The physiological basis for compartment designation and parameter selection has been provided;chemical-specific tissue-to-blood partition coefficients and elimination rates were derived from published human and animal data. The individual models were tested through simulations of published studies of nicotine and cotinine infusions in man using similar dosing protocols to those reported. Each model adequately predicted the time course of nicotine or cotinine concentrations in the blood and urine following the administration of nicotine or cotinine. These individual models were then linked through the liver compartments to form a nicotine-cotinine model capable of predicting the metabolic production and disposition of cotinine from administered nicotine. The potential for integrating this functional PBPK model with an appropriate pharmacodynamic model for the characterization of nicotine's physiological effects is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Neural networks (NN) are computational systems implemented in software or hardware that attempt to simulate the neurological processing abilities of biological systems, in particular the brain. Computational NN are classified as parallel distributed processing systems that for many tasks are recognized to have superior processing capability to the classical sequential Von Neuman computer model. NN are recognized mainly in terms of their adaptive learning and selforganization features and their nonlinear processing capability and are considered most suitable to deal with complex multivariate systems that are poorly understood and difficult to model by classical inductive,logically structured modeling techniques. A NN is applied to demonstrate one of the potentially many applications of NN for modeling complex kinetic systems. The NN was used to predict the effect of alfentanil on the heart rate resulting from a complex infusion scheme applied to six rabbits. Drug input-drug effect data resulting from a repeated, triple infusion rate scheme lasting from 30 to 180 min was used to train the NN to recognize and emulate the input-effect behavior of the system. With the NN memory fixed from the 30- to 180-min learning phase the NN was then tested for its ability to predict the effect resulting from a multiple infusion rate scheme applied in the subsequent 180 to 300 min of the experiment. The NN's ability to emulate the system (30–180 min) was excellent and its predictive extrapolation capability (180–300 min) was very good (mean relative prediction accuracy of 78%). The NN was best in predicting the higher intensity effect and was able to identify and predict an overshoot phenomenon likely caused by a withdrawal effect from acute tolerance. Current modeling philosophy and practice is discussed on the basis of the alternative offered by NN in the modeling of complex kinetic systems. In modeling such systems it is questioned whether traditional modeling practice that insists on structure relevance and conceptually pleasing structures has any practical advantages over the empirical NN approach that largely ignores structure relevance but concentrates on the emulation of the behaviorof the kinetic system. The traditional searching for appropriate models of complex kinetic systems is a painstakingly slow process. In contrast, the search for empirical models using NN will continue to improve, limited only by technological advances supporting the very promising NN developments.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-four patients with angiographically documented coronary artery disease, chronic stable angina, and reproducible ST-segment depression took part in this openlabel, baseline-controlled study on the hemodynamic, antiischemic, metabolic, and neurohumoral effects of tedisamil following IV doses of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mg/kg (eight patients in each dose group). Tedisamil produced a dose-dependent decrease in both heart rate [rest: 2.4, 7.5 (p〈.01), and 9.2 beats/min (p〈.001); exercise: 6, 4.6, and 8.9 beats/min (p〈.01), respectively] and the index of myocardial oxygen consumption (exercise: 6–9% in each group) associated with an improvement of ST-segment depression [−12.1%, −10.7%, −41.9% (p〉.01), resp.]. While cardiac output was found decreased due to the heart-rate reduction both at rest [−8.5%, −5.7%, and −10.2% (p〈.05), respectively] and during exercise (2–8%), being significant only at rest in the highest dose group, stroke volume remained unaltered. Pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, right-ventricular ejection fraction, and pulmonary vascular resistance were without significant changes. Blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance tended to increase, associated with a decrease in plasma catecholamines (20–40%). Tedisamil produced a dose-dependent prolongation of QTc duration [+2%, +6%, +12% (p〈.05), respectively] with PQ and QRS unaltered. The elimination half-life of tedisamil IV ranges between 6.8 and 7.8 hours. In conclusion, tedisamil, at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg IV, was well tolerated and was found to have favorable hemodynamic and antiischemic effects in patients with ischemic heart disease.

The porous properties of hydrolyzed copolymers have been characterized by means of size exclusion chromatography using polystyrene standards in tetrahydrofuran. Pore volume, specific surface area, and pore size are affected by the crosslinking agent concentration rather than by the rate of temperature increase during the polymerization reaction.

    Description / Table of Contents: Copolymers of AN were prepared with variable molecular masses and with variable contents of methylacrylate (ASME) and sodiumallylsulfonate (NaAS), acrylamide (AA), itaconic acid (IS), polyethyleneglycol acrylate (600) (PEGA), vinylacetate (VA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, (HEE) or sodium acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate (NaAMPS), respectively, by using a mathematical model for the calculation of the polymerization conditions needed. Precipitation studies by light scattering showed the predominant influence of NaAS and NaAMPS on the precipitation properties. Acrylonitrile homopolymers show a hard precipitation behaviour. The originating particles have a density of between 0.2 and 0.4 g/cm3. An increasing content of NaAS or NaAMPS leads for example beginning from 0.8 wt.-% NaAS in the monomer composition to a soft precipitation behaviour and to highly swollen particles possessing a density of less than 1 · 10-2 g/cm3. The molar mass and the ASME-content show no significant influence. For the acrylonitrile/acrylamide system already 0.5 wt.-% allylsulfonate is sufficient to get a soft precipitation behaviour with formation of highly swollen particles. All samples with the other cocomponents and without NaAS- or NaAMPS-comonomer show a hard precipitation behaviour with little swollen particles.
    Notes: Copolymere des Acrylnitrils (AN) mit variabler Molmasse bzw. mit variablem Anteil von Acrylsäuremethylester (ASME) und Natriumallylsulfonat (NaAS), Acrylamid (AA), Itaconsäure (IS), Polyethylenglykolacrylat (600) (PEGA), Vinylacetat (VA), Acrylsäure-2-hydroxyethylester (HEE) oder Natrium-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropansulfonat (NaAMPS) wurden hergestellt, wobei die erforderlichen Polymerisations-bedingungen mit Hilfe eines mathematischen Polymerisationsmodells ermittelt wurden.Die Fällungsuntersuchungen mit der Methode der Lichtstreuung zeigten, daß NaAS und NaAMPS einen dominierenden Einfluß haben. Bei Acrylnitril-Homopolymeren tritt eine harte Fällung auf, und die entstehenden Partikel haben eine Dichte zwischen 0,2 und 0,4 g/cm3. Zunehmender NaAS-bzw. NaAMPS-Gehalt führt ab einem Gehalt von beispielsweise ca. 0,8 Gew.-% NaAS im Monomergemisch zu einer weichen Fällung, bei der hochgequollene Partikel mit einer Dichte in der Größenordnung von 〈 1.10-2 g/cm3 entstehen. Ein Einfluß der Molmassen und des ASME-Gehaltes Konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. Beim Acrylnitril/Acrylamid-System genügen offensichtlich 0,5 Gew.-% Allylsulfonat im Monomeransatz, um eine stabile, weiche Fällung unter Bildung hochgequollener Strukturen zu gewährleisten. Alle Proben mit den übrigen hydrophilen Cokomponenten zeigen ohne NaAS bzw. NaAMPS-Comonomer ein hartes Fäungsverhalten mit wenig gequollenen Partikeln.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Photovernetzung von Poly(p-hydroxystyrol) (PPHS) wird durch O2 beachtlich beschleunigt. Dies ergab sich aus der Bestimmung der Molmasse (mit Hilfe der Lichtstreumethode) und des Gelanteils nach kontinuierlicher Bestrahlung bei λinc = 254 nm. Aufgrund von Ergebnissen aus Blitzphotolyseversuchen wird der folgende Reaktionsmechanismus aufgestellt: Die Vernetzung sowohl in An-als auch Abwesenheit von O2 kommt im wesentlichen durch Kombination von Radikalen des Phenoxyltyps zustande. In Abwesenheit von O2 werden Phenoxylradikale ausschließlich durch Spaltung von O—H-Bindungen phenolischer Gruppen, die sich im angeregten Singulettzustand befinden, erzeugt. Triplett-angeregte phenolische Gruppen, die sich auch bilden, desaktivieren nicht durch Spaltung der O—H-Bindungen. Sie reagieren allerdings sehr effektiv, sofern vorhanden, mit O2. Bei dieser Reaktion entstehen HO·2- und zusätzliche Phenoxylradikale. Alle handelsüblichen und die meisten im Labor synthetisierten PPHS-Proben enthalten chemisch gebundene, chinoidartige Verunreinigungen. Durch Versuche mit niedermolekularen Modellverbindungen wurde nachgewiesen, daß triplett-angeregte chinoide Gruppen einerseits mit phenolischen Gruppen unter Bildung von Phenoxylradikalen reagieren und daß sie andererseits unreaktiv sind bezüglich der Abstraktion aliphatischer Wasserstoffatome. Die Bestrahlung von PPHS bei λinc = 254 nm bewirkt die Bildung chinoider Gruppen, die bei dieser Wellenlänge auch stark absorbieren. Die Lichtabsorption dieser Gruppen wird im Laufe der weiteren Bestrahlung zum bestimmenden Faktor hinsichtlich der photochemischen Veränderung des Polymeren.
    Notes: Light-induced crosslinking of poly(p-hydroxystyrene) (PPHS) is significantly enhanced by O2. This was evidenced by molar mass (light scattering measurements) and by gel content determinations which were performed on various polymer samples before and after continuous irradiation at λinc = 254 nm. The following mechanism was elucidated with the aid of flash photolysis studies: Crosslinking in the absence or presence of O2 is mainly due to the combination of phenoxyl type radicals. In the absence of O2 the latter are exclusively formed by O—H bond cleavage of singlet excited phenolic groups. Triplet excited phenolic groups which are also formed do not deactivate via O—H bond cleavage but react very effectively with O2. This reaction leads to the formation of HO2· and additional phenoxyl type radicals. All Commercial and most laboratory-prepared PPHS samples contain chemically bound impurities of quinoid nature. On the basis of results performed with model compounds of low molar mass, it is concluded that triplet excited quinoid groups react effectively with phenolic groups forming phenoxyl type radicals and that they are quite unreactive with respect to the abstraction of alphatic hydrogen atoms. Irradiation of PPHS at λinc = 254 nm causes the formation of quinoid groups which absorb strongly at this wavelength. Light absorption by these groups becomes a determining factor with respect to photochemical alteration in the course of further irradiation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die verschiedenartigen Eigenschaften von Polymerlegierungen aus Polyoxymethylen (POM) und bis zu 20 Gew.-% chemische oberf;ächenbehandeltem Poly(tetrafluorethylen) (CPTFE) wurden untersucht und denen unbahandelter POM/PTFE- Blends gegenübergestellt. PTFE iwrd POM zugesetzt, um dessen Oberflächenabriebseigenschaften Anteil zunehmend verschlechtert. Durch die bessere Phasenanbindung in den oberflächenbehandelten POM/CPTFE- Blends konnten die doppelten Zugfestigkeiten und EModuli wie bei unbehandelten POM/PTEF- Blends erreicht werden. Mit Hilfe der Elektronenmikroskopie (SEM) konnte gezeigt werden, daß die PTEF-Agglomerate in der POM-Matrix eine Größe von 30 bis 100 μm haben, während die CPTFE-Teilchengrößbe unter 1 μum liegt.
    Notes: The various properties of the blends of polyacetal (POM) with up to 20 wt.-% chemically surface-treated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (CPTFE) were investigated and compared with those of POM/PTFE blends. The PTFE is added to POM to improve the wear properties, however, the mechanical properties of POM/PTFE blends decrease with increasing PTFE content, but tensile strength and Young's modulus of POM/CPTFE blends are more than 2 times higher than that of the POM/PTFE blends. SEM shows that the size of inherent agglomerative PTFE is in the range of 30 to 100 μm. The particle size of major CPTFE dispersed in POM is smaller than 1 μm.

    Description / Table of Contents: Hydrogele wurden aus methylmethacrylat (MMA) and N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon (NVP) mit 1,2,2-Trimethylolpropantrimethacrylat (TPTA) als Vernetzungsmittel hergestellt. Die Terplymerisation wurden mittels UV-strahlung (365 nm) initiiert, wobei kleine Mengen an Diethoxycetophenon (DEAP) als Photosensibilisator sowie Triethanolamin(TEA)als Beschleuniger und Verdünner verwendet wurden. Die Hydrogele wurden durch Messung des Wasserrückhaltevermögens, der Sauerstodiffusions- und permitionskoeffizienten, der mechanischen Eigenschaften und der Lichtdurchlässigkeit charakterisiert. Dabei zeigte sich, daß die Hydrogele bis zu 80 Gew.-% Wasser aufnehmen können, wobei mit steigendem Wassergtehalt deren mechanische Festigkeit drastisch sinkt. Der Ssuerstoffdiffusionskoeffizient der gequollenen Hydrogele beträgt 10-6 cm2s-1, der Sauerstoffpermeationskoeffizient 1013 cm2s-1Pa-1, und die Lichtdurchlässigkeit liegt im Bereich von 500 bis 700 nm bei über 90%.
    Notes: Hydrogels are synthesized from methyl methacrylate (MMA) and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) with 1,1,1-trimethylol propane trimethacrylate (TPTA) as a crosslinking agent. It was polymerized under UV radiation (365nm) with a small amount of photosensitizer, diethoxy acetophenone (DEAP), acclerator and diluent, triethanol amine (TEA). The hydrogels were characterized by measuring the water retention, dissolved oxygen diffusivity and permeability, mechanical strength, and light transparency. The hydrogels can retain water up to 80 wt.-% and the mechanical strenght is weakened as the water content is increased in the gel. The dissolved oxygen diffusivity and permeability in the swelling hydrogels are determined to be 10-6 cm2/sec and 1013 cm2s-1 Pa-1, respectively. The light transparency is over 90% in the wave lenght ranging from 500 to 700 nm.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Bisphenol-A-Epoxidharz wurde zunächst mit Toluylendiisocyanat, dessen eine Isocyanatgruppe mit 2-Ethylhexanol blockiert war, und dann mit unterschiedlichen Mischungen on Diethanolamin und Bis(2-methyl-isobutylketiminoethyl)amin (DKI)umgesetzt. Aus diesen Harzen mit Triethanolamin- und DKI-Endgruppen wurden durch Hydrolyse und Neutralisieren mit Essigsäure kationische Harze mit primären Amin-Endgruppen erhalten, aus denen mit geeigneten Lösungsmitteln und deionisiertem Wasser Emulsionen hergestellt wurden. Deren Eigenschaften und die Elektroabscheidung der Harze aus den Emulsionen wurden untrsucht. Der Effekt der Zugabe von hydrophoben Lösungsmitteln wie Toluol oder Hexylcellosolv (HCS) auf die Abscheidungseigenschaften wird diskutiert.
    Notes: A diglycidylether of bisphenol A epoxy resin (DGEBA) was first reacted with 2,4-toluene diisocyanate partially blocked with 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH P. B. TDI) to form modified epoxy resins, and subsequently reacted with different molar ratios of diethanolamine and bis(2-methylisobutylketiminoethyl)amine (DKI) (used as ring opening agents) to give diethanolamine/diketimine terminated resins. These resins were hydrolyzed and neutralized with acetic acid to give cationic resins containing various contents of primary amine groups in the terminal polymeric chain. These cationic resins can be dissolved in a suitable solvent and mixed with deionized water to obtain emulsions. The electrodeposition properties and characteristics of the resulting cationic resins were investigated in detail. The effects of hydrophobic solvents, such as hexyl cellosolve (HCS) and toluene, on the deposition properties of the emulsions are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Les polyesters thermoplastiques (PBT et PET) sont des polymères fragiles avec une résistance au choc entaillée faible. Leur renforcement peut être obtenu par extrusion réactive avec dirrérents types de copolymères élastomères de l'éthylène, contenant des fonctons à réactivité potentielle avec extrémités de chaîne acide et hydroxyle des polyesters.Deux types de copolymères ont été étudiés: Ethylène(acrylate d'éthyle/méthacrylate de glycidyle (E/EA/GMA), et éthylène/acrylate d'éthyle/anhydride maléique (E/EA/MAH). Les alliages ont été obtenu par malaxage de 10 à 25% de coppolymères avec du PBT.Le PBT présente une transition fragile, ductile lorsqu'on passe de 10 à 20% de particules dispersées de copolymère au GMA. Les gains les plus importants en résistance au choc sont obtenus en réticulant partiellement la phase dispersée, par association de copolymères en GMA et de copolymères avec MAH et catalyseur de réaction.
    Notes: Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) are brittle polymers with poor notched impact strength. Their toughening can be achieved by melt blending with different types of rubbery ethylene copolymers containing functions having potential reactivity with the hydroxy and carboxy end groups in polyesters.Two types of ethylene copolymers were investigated: ethylene/ethyle acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E/EA/GMA) and ethylene/ethyl acrylate/maleic anhydride (E/EA/MAH) copolymers. The blends were obtained by reactive extrusion of PBT with 10 to 25% of copolymers.PBT blends undergo a brittle to ductile transition by toughening with GMA copolymer between 10 and 20% of rubbery phase. The most effective toughening could be achieved by a partial crosslinking of the rubbery particles obtained by associating GMA and MAH copolymers and a reaction catalyst.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Anfangsstadium der Oxidation von Lactamen wurden im Temperaturbereich 70-120°C Cuntersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß Pyrrolidon und Piperidon bedeutend schneller oxidiert werden als die sieben-, acht- und dreizehngliedrigen Lactame sowie lineare N-Alkylamide. Die hohe Oxidierbarkeit der fünf- und sechsgliedrigen Lactame kann der leichteren homolytischen Spaltung der N- vicinalen C—H Bindung und der unterschiedlichen Reaktivität der Lactamradikale im Wachstuschritt der Kettenoxidation zugeschrieben werden.
    Notes: The initial stage of oxidation of lactams was studied in the temperature range 70-120°C. It was found that pyrrolidone and piperidone are oxidized essentially more easily than the seven-, eight-, nine- and thirteen-membered lactams as well as linear N-alkylamides. The high oxidizability of the five- and six-membered lactams may be attributed to the easier homolytic splitting of the N-vicinal C—H bond and to the different reactivity of lactam radicals in the propagation step of the chain oxidation.

    Description / Table of Contents: The relative chain transfer constant for sodium allylsulfonate (NaAS) in the copolymer system acrylonitrile (AN)/methylacrylate (MA) in dimethylformamide (DMF) was determined to be Cx = 0,04 ± 0.01, independent of the initiator used (azoisobutyronitrile, ammoniumperoxodisulfate).The chain transfer reaction explains the influence of NaAS on the polymerization degree, but not the concentration dependence of the copolymerization reactivity ratio r1 · r1 depends on the transfer reaction only in a range of 1 - 5%.The extended Debye-Hückel theory for dilute electrolytes has been successfully tested for a quantitative dependence of r1 from NaAS concentration. The resultant r10-value for infinite dilution of NaAS obviously depends on the acrylonitrile concentration, but only to a small extent (e.g. r10 = 0.32 for [AN] =- 4.26 mol/l). This theory provides comfortable access to resolve the nonideal AN/NaAS copolymerization. This approach may be generally applicable to copolymerizations of monomers with dissociated groups.
    Notes: Im Copolymerisationssystem Acrylnitril (AN)/Methylacrylat(MA) mit Natriumallylsulfonat (NaAS) in Dimethylformamid wurde die relative Übertragunskonstante zum NaAS Cx = 0,04 ± 0,01 unabhängig vom verwendeten Initiator (Azoisobuttyronitril, Ammoniumperoxodisulfat) ermittelt. Die Übertragunsreaktion beschreibt den Einfluß des NaAS auf den Polymerisationsgrad, sie beeinflußt jedoch den Copolymerisationsparameter r1 nur in der Größenordung von 1 bis 5% und kann damit die Konzentrationsabhängigkeit von r1 nicht erklären.Mit Hilfe der erweiterten Debye-Hückel-Theorie für verdünnte Elektrolyte wird die Abhängigkiet des r1-Wertes von der NaAS- Konzentration beschrieben. Der sich daraus für unendliche Verünnung des NaAS ergebende r10-Wert ist offensichtlich noch gerinfügig von der Acrylnitrilkonzentration abhägig. Er liegt beispielsweise für [AN] = 4, 26 mol/1 bei r10 = 0, 32. Damit wurde zum ersten Mal das nichtideale Copolymerisationsverhalten im untersuchten System erkärl. Das Vorgehen sollte verallemeinerungsfähig sein und generell auf das Copolymerisationsverhalten von Monomeren mitdissoziierten Gruppen angewendet werden können.

Initial reaction rates measured in the temperature range 5 - 35°C as a function of both substrate concentration and enzyme amount immobilized per unit membrane surface indicate that the mechanism of action of catalase is not altered after immobilization.

    Description / Table of Contents: The UV-laser induced surface modification of various types of high-performance fibers is investigated. Due to the high UV-absorption coefficients, the well-known effect of UV-laser induced etching (ablation) is observed with all fiber types. Furthermore, the relaxation of orientated macromolecules leads to a characteristic structuring of the fiber surface. For a possible controlled use of this physical surface modification, exact conditions for the treatment in view of textile applications are determined. Useful constants like threshold of ablation, etching rate and structuring constants are measured for all fiber types.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(phenylphosphindiylterephthaloyl), ein neues phosphorhaltiges Polymeres, wurde durch Lösungspolykondensation von Dilithium(phenyl)phosphin mit Terephthaloylchlorid bei niedriger Temperatur hergestellt. Es ist in polaren aprotischen Lösungsmitteln löslich; die inhärente Viskosität in DMF bei 30°C beträgt 19 ml/g. Das Polymere wurde mittels Elementaranalyse sowie IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. TGA-Messungen ergeben, daß das Polymere in Luft bis 250°C stabil ist; es ist selbstverlöschend.
    Notes: Poly(phenylphosphinediylterephthaloyl), a novel phosphorus-containing polymer, was synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of dilithio(phenyl)-phosphine with terephthaloyl chloride. The resulting polymer is soluble in polar aprotic solvents, having inherent viscosity of 19 ml/g in DMF at 30°C. The polymer was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. TGA data show that the polymer is stable up to 250°C in air. The polymer was found to be self-extinguishing.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird eine neue Methode für die Erweiterung des Meßbereiches der Ausschlußchromatographie, gekoppelt mit Lichtstreuung (SEC/LALLS), zu höherer molarer Masse, vorgestellt. Diese Methode nützt den Effekt, daß das Lichtstreusignal oft schon bei wesentlich kleineren Werten des Elutionsvolumens, also hoheren Werten der molaren Masse erfaßbar ist als das Konzentrationssignal und berücksichtigt dabei die Peakverbreiterung in der SEC. Das betreffende Rechenverfahren wird für den Fall einer logarithmischen Normalverteiung und einer wahrscheinlichsten Verteilung getestet. Im Falle von Polypropylen mit logarithmischer Normalverteilung (M̄W = 420 000 und M̄n = 99 000) kann der durch SEC/LALLS erfaßte Bereich der molaren Masse um einen Faktor von ca. 10 erweitert werden; bei einer wahrscheinlichsten Verteilung (M̄n = 100 000) liegt die erreichbare Erweiterung des Meßbereiches der molaren Masse beieinem Faktor von ca. 2.
    Notes: A new method for the extension of the measuring range of size exclusion chromatography coupled with light scattering (SEC/LALLS) to higher molar mass is presented. This method uses the fact that the light scattering signal can often be detected already at considerable smaller values of the elution volume (i. e. higher values of molar mass) than the concentration signal; furthermore, it takes into account the peak broadening effect in SEC. This procedure is tested for the case of a logarithmic normal distribution and a most probable distribution of molar mass. In the case of polypropylene with a logarithmic normal distribution (M̄w = 420 000, M̄n = 99 000), the range of molar mass covered by SEC/LALLS can be extended by a factor of about 10; with a most probable distribution (M̄n = 100 000), the attainable extension in molar mass assumes a factor of about 2.

    Description / Table of Contents: Because of the interest in their possible application as biologically degradable polymers, the isotherms of sorption of water vapour by native and thermoplastic starch were measured. The thermomechanical treatment of starch and the insertion of glycerol as softener lead to the disappearance of the hysteresis and to the transition from a Type II to Type III isotherm. A theory, describing the sorption behaviour of swellable sorbents, is introduced and its statements are discussed by means of experimental results. The theory allows to draw conclusions on the molecular behaviour during sorption.
    Notes: Es wurden Wasserdampf-Sorptionsisothermen von nativer und thermoplastischer Stärke gemessen. Die thermisch-mechanische Behandlung der Stärke und das Einfähren von Glyzerin als Weichmacher fährt zum Verschwinden der Hysterese und zum Übergang von der Typ II in eine Typ III Isotherme. Eine Theorie, welche das Sorptionsverhalten von quellbaren Sorbentien gut beschreibt, wird kurz eingeführt und anhand der experimentellen Daten ihre Aussagen diskutiert. Die vorgestellte Theorie erlaubt wegen der physikalischen Bedeutung der Parameter Rückschlüsse auf die molekularen Vorgänge während der Sorption. Die Motivation zur Untersuchung des Sorptionsverhaltens von thermoplastischer Stärke ist deren möglicher Einsatz als biologisch abbaubarer Kunststoff.

    Description / Table of Contents: In order to solve the problem of polymer swelling which limits the resolution of negative resists, we have developed new resists where the swelling does not appear. For our study, we developed resists including polymers containing the tetrathiafulvalenylcarbonyloxymethyl radical and dibromotetrachloroethane. In order to study the influence of the nature of the radical bearing the tetrathiafulvalene unit in the polymers on the microlithographic properties of these resists, we also studied polymers containing the tetrathiafulvalenylphenoxymethyl radical. The resists have been tested under UV irradiation. The dependence of resist sensitivity on molecular weight is reported.
    Notes: Pour résoudre le phéomène de gonflement qui limite la résolution des résines microlithographiques classiques, nous nous sommes intéressés à de nouvelles résines avec lesquelles ce phénomène n'apparait pas. Nous avons retenu pour notre étude les résines R qui renferment en mélange un polymère porteur de radicaux tétrathiafulvalénylcarbonyloxyméthyles et le dibromotétrachloroéthane. Afin de voir l'influence de la nature du radical porteur de l'unité tétrathiafulvalène dans le polymtrè sur les propriétés microlithographiques des résines R, nous nous sommes également intéressés aux polymères renfermant des radicaux tétrathiafulvalénylphénoxymethyles. Les résines R ont été testées sous irradiation UV. Leurs sensibilités dépendent en outre de la valeur de la masse molaire du polymèr.

    Description / Table of Contents: Hochfeste Polyethylen- (HSPE), Polypropylen- (PP), Polyethylenterephthalat-(PET) und Polyvinylalkohol-(PVA) Textilgarne wurden unter Anwendung des entwickelten kontinuierlichen Einweichprozesses mit verschiedenen funktionellen Monomeren, wie beispielsweise Acrylsäure (AA), Acrylamid (AM), Glycidylacrylat (GA) und 4-Vinylpyridin (VP) oberflächenfotogepfropft. Die Einfärbbarkeit der oberflächenmodifizierten Garne mit verschiedenen Textilfarbstoffen wurde untersucht. Im allgemeinen wurde eine erhebliche Verbesserung der Einfärbbarkeit beobachtet. Die Farbstoffaufnahme der oberflächenfotogepfropften Fasern wird von vielen Faktoren beeinflußt, beispielsweise von der Art der Faser, der Menge und den Eigenschaften des auf die Oberfläche der Fasern gepfropften funktionellen Monomeren, der Art des Textilfarbstoffs usw. Die Faseroberflächen, auf die ein Monomeres mit basischen Gruppen wie Acrylamid und 4-Vinylpyridin gepfropft wurde, lassen sich mit einem sauren Farbstoff wirkungsvoll einfärben. Dagegen läßt sich eine Faseroberfläche, auf die ein saures funktionelles Monomeres gepfropft wurde, leicht mit basischen Farbstoffen in tiefen Farbtönen einfärben. Die Farbstoffaufnahme steigt stetig mit zunehmender Pfropfung, in ESCA-Spectren als relative Intensitaten relevanter Linien gemessen. Die nicht gepfropften HSPE-, PP-, und PET-Fasern können mit bestimmten Farbstoffen in gewissem Maße eingefärbt werden. Bei der vorliegenden Arbeit erhöhte sich die Farbstoffaufnahme bei HSPE-Fasern, die mit GA gepfropft und mit dem Metallkomplexfarbstoff IO eingefärbt wurden, um das 3,4fache, bei PP-Fasern, die mit AA gepfropft und mit dem basischen Farbstoff MB eingefärbt wurden, um das 7,9fache, bei PET mit AM und dem Direktfarbstoff SL um das 6,1fache, bei PVA mit VP und dem sauren Farbstoff TE um das 15,3fache.
    Notes: High-strength polyethylene (HSPE), polypropylene (PP), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) textile yarns have been surface-photografted with various functional monomers, such as acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM), glycidyl acrylate (GA) and 4-vinyl pyridine (VP), by means of the continuous presoaking process developed. The dyeing of these surface-modified yarns with various textile dyes has been investigated. In general, considerable improvements of dyeability have been observed. The dye adsorption of the surface-photografted fibers is influenced by many factors, such as type of fiber, amount and properties of the functional monomer grafted on the surface of the fibers, type of textile dye, etc. The fibers surface-grafted with a monomer containing basic groups, such as acrylamide and 4-vinyl pyridine, are efficiently dyed with an acid dye. Conversely, a fiber surface-grafted with acidic functional monomer is easily dyed to deep shades with basic dyes. The dye adsorption increases monotonically with increasing grafting measured in ESCA spectra as relative intensities of relevant lines. The ungrafted HSPE, PP and PET fibers can be dyed to some extent with certain dyes. In the present work, the dye adsorption increased by 3.4 times for HSPE fiber grafted with GA and dyed with the metal complex dye IO, by 7.9 times for PP fiber grafted with AA and dyed with the basic dye MB, by 6.1 times for PET with AM and with the direct dye SL, and by about 15.3 times for PVA with VP and with the acid dye TE.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die thermische Stabilität von Acrylnitril-Copolymeren wurde mittels DSC untersucht, um den Einfluß von halogenierten Comonomeren mit Carboxygruppen auf die Stabilisierung von PAN zu präfen. Es wird gezeigt, daß die Aktivierungsenergie fär die Cyclisierung des AN/Bromacrylsäure(BrAA)-Copolymeren (86,2 kJ/mol) deutlich niedriger als die der Copolymeren mit Chloracrylsäure (ClAA, 158 kJ/mol), Acrylsäure (AA, 128 kJ/mol) und Itaconsäure (IA, 102 kJ/mol) ist. Das erlaubt eine Stabilisierung bei häherer Temperatur und eine Verkürzung der Stabilisierungszeit. ClAA ist BrAA bezäglich der Stabilisierungseffektivität nicht überlegen. Der Mechanismus der Cyclisierung von AN-Copolymeren mit halogenierten, carboxygruppenhaltigen Comonomeren wird diskutiert.
    Notes: The thermal stability of AN copolymers was studied by DSC technique in order to get information on the influence of comonomers containing halogenated carboxylic acid on the stabilization of PAN. It is shown that the activation energy of cyclization is reduced in the case of the copolymer with bromoacrylic acid (BrAA, 86.2 kJ/mol) compared with chloroacrylic acid (ClAA, 158 kJ/mol), acrylic acid (AA, 128 kJ/mol) and itaconic acid (IA, 102 kJ/mol). Copolymer AN/BrAA permits the stabilization at higher temperature than AN/IA and AN/AA, helping to shorten the stabilization time. It is proved that comonomer ClAA is not superior to BrAA in the effectiveness of thermal stabilization. The mechanism of the cyclization reaction of AN copolymer containing halogenated carboxylic acid is discussed.
