    Notes: Summary Intravenous infusions of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) [7–36 amide] are glucose-dependently insulinotropic and glucagonostatic and normalize plasma glucose concentrations in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. It was the aim of this study to investigate whether subcutaneous GLP-1 [7–36 amide] also has an influence on insulin and glucagon secretion, and which doses are required for significant effects. Therefore, eight healthy volunteers (24 ± 2 years, body mass index [BMI] 21.9 ± 2.3 kg/m2) were studied in the fasting state on five occasions in randomized order. Placebo (0.9 % NaCl with 1 % human serum albumin) or GLP-1 [7–36 amide] in doses of 0.15, 0.5, 1.5 or 4.5 nmol/kg body weight (volume 1 ml or, at the highest dose, 2 ml) was administered subcutaneously. An intravenous glucose bolus (0.33 g/kg body weight) was injected 30 min later. Blood was drawn for the measurement of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, GLP-1 [7–36 amide], and glucagon using specific radioimmunoassays. There were dose-related increments in GLP-1 [7–36 amide] concentrations (p 〈 0.0001). However, basal values were reached again after 90–120 min. Before glucose administration, insulin (p 〈 0.0001) and C-peptide (p 〈 0.0004) increased, whereas glucagon (p = 0.0018) and glucose (p 〈 0.0001) decreased in a dose-dependent manner. After glucose stimulation, integrated increments in insulin (p = 0.0007) and C-peptide (p = 0.02) were augmented and kG-values increased (p 〈 0.0001) in a dose-related fashion. The extent of reactive hypoglycaemia was related to the GLP-1 [7–36 amide] dose. With the highest GLP-1 [7–36 amide] dose, at the time of peak plasma concentrations, most volunteers felt unwell, and nausea and vomiting were observed in four subjects. In conclusion, subcutaneous GLP-1 [7–36 amide] is also able to stimulate insulin and inhibit glucagon secretion, thereby altering glucose assimilation. However, with unmodified GLP-1 [7–36 amide], the duration of action is short, and with high doses side effects are common. [Diabetologia (1995) 38: 720–725]

    Notes: Abstract High-dose thioTEPA is used frequently in myeloablative regimens for marrow transplantation, but the need for dose adjustments in obese patients has not been explored. We determined the pharmacokinetics of thioTEPA and its metabolite TEPA during first-dose infusion of thioTEPA 150–250 mg/m2 given daily for 3 days in combination with busulfan and cyclophosphamide, and evaluated the results for correlations with toxicity and dosing strategies. The study included 15 adults undergoing marrow transplantation for hematologic malignancies. Plasma samples were obtained at various times over a 24-h period, and concentrations of thio TEPA and TEPA were measured by gas chromatography. At 22–24 h after initiation of a 4-h infusion, the mean ±SE plasma concentration of thioTEPA was 124±63 ng/ml, while that of TEPA was 235±69 ng/ml. For CFU-GM and BFU-E growth in vitro, the IC50s of thioTEPA were 83 ng/ml and 16 ng/ml, respectively, and the IC50s of TEPA were 141 ng/ml and 47 ng/ml, respectively. Using a twocompartment model, the mean thioTEPA Vc was 47.4±4.7 l/m2, t1/2α 19±5 min,t 1/2β 3.7±0.5 h, and plasma clearance 302±21 ml/min per m2. The mean AUCs were 6.9–16.2 mg h/l for thioTEPA and 8.9–21.2 mg h/l for TEPA, while the mean peak concentrations were 0.95–2.08 μg/ml for thioTEPA and 0.88–1.90 μg/ml for TEPA. There was a significant association of grades 2–4 maximum regimen-related toxicity (RRT) with TEPA peak 〉1.75 μg/ml and with combined thioTEPA and TEPA AUC 〉30 mgh/l (5/6 vs 0/9,P=0.01 for both comparisons), suggesting that drug exposure was an important determinant of toxicity and, potentially, efficacy. ThioTEPA Vc correlated best with adjusted body weight (r=0.74,P=0.0015). In an evaluation of 74 adults receiving thioTEPA 750 mg/m2 in combination with busulfan and cyclophosphamide, the maximum RRT for patients at ideal weight was significantly greater than that for obese patients dosed on ideal weight (mean RRT grade 1.7 vs 1.0,P=0.004) but did not differ from the maximum RRT for obese adults dosed on actual or adjusted weights. We recommend that for obese patients thioTEPA be dosed on adjusted body weight. Measurements at time-points after 24 h are needed to determine when thioTEPA and TEPA concentrations are below myelosuppressive levels and safe for marrow infusion.

    Notes: Abstract Children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) have been reported to require higher doses (per kg body weight) of methotrexate (MTX) than adults with rheumatoid arthritis to control their disease. The purpose of the present study was to characterise the plasma pharmacokinetics of MTX and its major metabolite, 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OHMTX) in children, and to compare the results with those previously obtained in adults. Thirteen patients (age 5–16 y) with JRA (median disease duration 5.5 y) were studied after once weekly oral administration of MTX (median 0.21 mg·kg−1). The analytical method was sufficiently sensitive to permit determination of plasma and urinary concentrations of MTX and 7-OHMTX during the entire dose interval in most of the patients. The dose normalized area under the plasma concentration versus time-curve (AUC) of MTX increased with the age of the children and was lower than previously found in adults. The dose normalized AUC of 7-OHMTX was not dependent on age. No correlation was found between the AUCs of MTX and 7-OHMTX. The results suggest that the age-dependence of the pharmacokinetics of MTX might explain the observation that at least some children require higher doses of MTX than adults to obtain a sufficient therapeutic effect.

    Notes: Abstract Following an overnight fast and 2 days of abstention from caffeine, a single 1.0-g oral dose of antipyrine was administered to 20 obese but otherwise healthy subjects (group A) and 11 healthy volunteers (group B). Weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and % of Ideal Body Weight (IBW) were significantly greater in the obese than in the lean group. (Mean 110.4 vs 62.7 kg; 38.5 vs 22.3 kg · m−2 and 181vs 106 % respectively). In a subgroup of 6 obese subjects (group C) antipyrine was given again 11.3 months later after a 29.8 kg mean weight loss. Antipyrine apparent volume of distribution (V) and elimination half-life (t 1/2) were significantly greater in the obese than in the lean group (V 49.9 vs 34.3 l respectively; t 1/2 15.5 vs 12.0 h respectively), but its clearance rate (CLo) values were similar. V corrected for total body weight was significantly reduced in group A than in group B (0.45 vs 0.55 l · kg−1 respectively). Stratified comparison of antipyrine pharmacokinetics between obese and lean subjects according to age, gender and smoking habits did not alter the overall results. In group C, weight reduction was associated with a significant decrease in antipyrine V (from 51.8 to 47.5 l) and t 1/2 (from 15.1 to 12.7 h), and a non-significant increase in antipyrine CLo. We conclude that in severely obese subjects, antipyrine total V is mildly increased but V corrected for total body weight is significantly decreased. In addition, obesity is associated with a slight prolongation of antipyrine t 1/2 whereas its CLo is unaltered. These findings may indicate that obesity, even in its extreme form, has a negligible effect on the oxidative metabolic capacity of the liver.

    Notes: Abstract CHF1194 is an inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam. In man, β-cyclodextrin acts as a carrier of piroxicam. As the inclusion complex of piroxicam-β-cyclodextrin is wettable and more water soluble, the absorption rate of the drug is increased whilst its other pharmacokinetic characteristics remain unchanged. The aim of the present study in 12 healthy subjects was to compare the oral bioavailability of 20 mg piroxicam in a CHF1194 tablet and a plain piroxicam capsule after a single dose and after two weeks of once daily administration, and also to assess the plasma levels and urinary excretion of β-cyclodextrin after CHF1194 administration. The two treatments were administered in cross-over fashion, separated by a wash-out period of three weeks. Piroxicam, 5′-hydroxypiroxicam and β-cyclodextrin were monitored in plasma and urine for 120 h after the first and last doses. Clinical tolerance was excellent and no adverse event occurred during either phase of the study. The extent of absorption of piroxicam from the CHF1194 tablet after the single dose was equivalent to that after the plain piroxicam capsule, within confidence limits of less than 80–125%. After repeated dosing, CHF1194 yielded the same steady-state systemic concentrations of piroxicam and 5′-hydroxypiroxicam as the reference capsule, and similar excretion pattern of the metabolite. After both single and multiple dosing, piroxicam was absorbed more rapidly after CHF1194, an expected consequence of the complexation of piroxicam with β-cyclodextrin. This may be of therapeutic interest as it might accelerate the onset of pain relief. The pharmacokinetics of piroxicam was linear after the doses used here, suggesting that long term treatment with CHF1194 should not require any change in dosing regimen. Even after 14 days of repeated administration of CHF1194, β-cyclodextrin could not be detected in plasma or urine, suggesting that in man the unchanged oligosaccharide was absorbed to a very small extent.

    Notes: Abstract Single doses of oral and intravenous furosemide were given to 8 healthy male volunteers (40 mg) and 11 patients with renal failure maintained on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (80 mg). In the volunteers, absorption was variable. Only one half of the intravenous dose and one third of the oral dose was available for renal pharmacological action as judged by the urinary recovery. In the patients, absorption was also variable and was markedly delayed (t max 128 vs 90 min) but more complete (bioavailability 70.1 vs 53.6%). The differences between the two groups were not significant, however (95% C.I.: -90 to 30 and -40.4 to 7.5 respectively). The mean elimination half-life was significantly longer in the patients following both the oral (228 vs 65.1 min) and intravenous dose (195 vs 60.3 min). The total body clearance of furosemide in the volunteers was 138 ml·min−1 and this was much lower in the CAPD patients (61.9 ml·min−1) in whom the renal clearance was minimal. The peritoneal clearance of furosemide was negligible. Although there were trends indicating differences in absorption between the two groups, the significant differences in furosemide disposition observed in CAPD patients were due to renal failure.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of chronic exposure to high altitude on the pharmacokinetics of caffeine and cardiogreen (ICG) were examined in eight healthy males (23–35 y) at sea level (SEA) and following 16 days residence at 4300 m (ALT). ICG (0.5 mg · kg−1) was administered as an intravenous bolus and caffeine (4 mg · kg−1) in an orally ingested solution. The concentration of ICG, caffeine, and the primary metabolites of caffeine (MET) were determined in serial blood samples and their pharmacokinetics computed. In comparison to SEA, ALT resulted in a significant decrease in the caffeine half-life (t1/2, 4.7 vs 6.7 h) and area under the curve (2.5 vs 3.7 g · 1−1 · min−1), and increased clearance (117 vs 86 ml · min−1 · 70 kg−1). In ALT the area under the curve of ICG significantly decreased (85 vs 207 mg · 1−1 · min−1) and the volume of distribution and clearance increased (5.2 vs 2.41 and 532 vs 234 ml · min−1 respectively) compared to SEA. There was a significant increase in the AUC ratio of MET to caffeine indicating that either metabolite formation or elimination was increased in ALT. These results demonstrate that in humans, chronic exposure to 4300 m results in the modification of the pharmacokinetics of caffeine and ICG.

    Notes: Abstract The usual dosage regimen of diltiazem (Tildiem) is 60 mg 3–4 times a day. A sustained-release formulation has been developed (Mono-Tildiem LP 300 mg) in order to allow a single daily administration. Two repeated dosing studies were performed in healthy volunteers. The absolute bioavailability of sustained-release diltiazem LP 300 mg was investigated using concomitant i.v. administration of 13C-labelled drug: absolute bioavailability of the “once a day” formulation was 35%. The second study compared sustained-release diltiazem LP 300 mg with the standard formulation of diltiazem. The results showed that the diltiazem plasma concentrations obtained after the LP formulation remained stable between 2 and 14 h after administration and were compatible with a once a day administration. Relative bioavailability of sustained-release diltiazem LP 300 mg was 79.3% compared with diltiazem. Therefore, a unitary dose of sustained-release diltiazem LP 300 mg was chosen as the dose equivalent to the daily dose administered with the standard diltiazem formulation.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of lorazepam was examined in 10 male patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before and following treatment with neomycin and cholestyramine. Neomycin and cholestyramine were given in an attempt to block the enterohepatic circulation of lorazepam and so to permit an in vivo estimate of hepatic glucuronidation. The volume of distribution and clearance of free lorazepam in diabetic patients were not significantly different from the corresponding estimates in 14 normal controls. Neomycin and cholestyramine increased the clearance of lorazepam by 63% consistent with their effect in non-diabetic controls. However, patients on beef/pork insulin exhibited a greater than normal increase on this interupting regimen (125%), and had a significantly greater neomycin/cholestyramine cycling-interrupted clearance of lorazepam than either normal controls or patients on human insulin (15.4 vs. 6.96 and 7.87 ml·min−1·kg−1). The clearance was correlated positively and significantly with HbA1c and glycated proteins (fructosamine), but only in patients on human insulin. Thus, the pharmacokinetics of lorazepam was not altered in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. However, it is possible that there are differences in the rate and extent of hepatic glucuronidation and enterohepatic circulation of lorazepam between patients treated with beef/pork and human insulins and between diabetics treated with beef/pork insulin and non-diabetic controls.

    Notes: Abstract One gram single dose of Pentasa controlled-release capsules was administered to 24 healthy volunteers under fasting condition. Mean plasma 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and acetyl 5-ASA concentrations peaked at 0.53 μg · ml−1 and 1.33 μg · ml−1 from 3 to 4 hours following dosing, respectively. The half-lives of both compounds could not be determined as absorption of 5-ASA was continuous throughout the gastrointestinal tract. An average of 29.4% (CV: 27%) of the dose was excreted in the urine primarily as acetyl 5-ASA. Up to 91.1% of the dose was released from the capsules. Forty percent of the dose (CV: 40%) was eliminated in the feces, with 8.9% of the dose remained as formulation bounded 5-ASA, indicating that controlled-release capsules continue to release drug throughout the GI tract. 5-ASA contributed 46.7% of the salicylates eliminated in the feces and acetyl 5-ASA accounted for the balance. Controlled-release capsules produced three times more total salicylates and 10 times more total and free 5-ASA in the feces than did 5-ASA suspension. Thus, while lower systemic levels of salicylates were absorbed, greater therapeutic quantities of 5-ASA were available in the bowel.

    Notes: Abstract Thiopental was administered to neurosurgical patients for cerebral protection and its pharmacokinetic parameters were determined after a single bolus of 540, 1000 or 1500 mg (3 subjects) or after multiple doses of 250 mg (5 subjects) and 500 mg (2 subjects) every two hours for up to 7 days. The data were analysed by a two- or three- compartment model and linear kinetics. After a single IV bolus, the mean initial volume of distribution (V1) was 0.4811·kg−1, and the steady-state volume of distribution (Vss) was 2.16 1·kg−1. The distribution (t1/2α) and elimination (t1/2β) half-lives were 0.590 and 5.89 h, respectively, and the mean residence time (MRT) was 7.44 h. The clearance was 5.41 ml·min−1·kg−1. With repeated injections, the pharmacokinetic parameters for each patient were estimated taking into account all administered doses and blood samples, which were taken whenever possible daily at steady state and after the last dose. The variability observed in the pharmacokinetic parameters of thiopental reflected by the coefficient of variation (CV%) was wide but was of similar magnitude within patients (CVintra) as it was between patients (CVinter). The steady-state trough plasma concentration (Cmin obs) ranged from 4.8 to 30 mg·1−1 (mean 16.0 mg·1−1 and median 14.3 mg·1−1). Peak concentrations (Cmax obs) ranged from 8.35 to 45 mg·1−1 (25.4 mg·1−1, and median 23.3 mg·1−1). The values of V1 and Vss were similar to those obtained after a single dose. For V1, the mean was 0.333 1·kg−1. The mean Vss was 2.68 1·kg−1, with a CVintra of 12.6 to 56% and a CVinter of 13.2%. A shorter distribution half-life t1/2α was noted on multiple dosing; the mean value was 0.122 h. The elimination half-life t1/2β and the mean residence time became longer due to a decrease in clearance. For t1/2β the mean value was 16.3 h. The mean MRT was 21.9 h, CVintra 9.19 to 48.5%, and the CVinter 35.3%. The mean clearance was 2.16 ml·min−1·kg−1, CVintra 7.28 to 25.5%, and the CVinter 20.4%. This value is 50% lower than after a single dose. Identification of the kinetic parameters of thiopental allows simulation of the effects of doses on subsequent plasma levels and will permit a priori prediction of day to day adjustment of drug dosage.

Plasma concentrations of amoxicillin obtained after oral and intravenous dosing have been analysed, together with simulated data corresponding to a complex input. Amoxicillin absorption rates devised by the program were similar to those obtained by a standard deconvolution method, although they were displayed as an almost continuous profile. However, improbable fluctuations were obtained with some data sets and the fraction absorbed was underestimated by 13%. With the simulated data, the maximum entropy program did not provide a better solution than the standard deconvolution procedure, and it was sensitive to the addition of random error and to the number of samples. The maximum entropy principle, as implemented in our computer program, may not have a better performance than standard deconvolution procedures, especially in human experiments where the number of blood samples is usually limited.

    Notes: Abstract Sumatriptan is classified as a vascular 5HT1 receptor agonist and is effective in the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache. Sumatriptan is available as an injection for subcutaneous administration and as a tablet for oral administration. The pharmacokinetics of sumatriptan differ depending on the route of administration. The mean subcutaneous bioavilability is 96% compared to 14% for the oral tablet. The lower bioavailability following oral administration is due mainly to presystemic metabolism. The inter-subject variability in plasma sumatriptan concentrations is greater following oral administration and a faster rate of absorption of drug into the systemic circulation is achieved following subcutaneous dosing. The pharmacokinetics of sumatriptan are linear up to a subcutaneous dose of 16 mg. Following oral dosing up to 400 mg, the pharmacokinetics are also linear, with the exception of rate of absorption, as indicated by a dose dependent increase in time to peak concentration. Sumatriptan is a highly cleared compound that is eliminated from the body primarily by metabolism to the pharmacologically inactive indoleacetic acid analogue. Both sumatriptan and its metabolite are excreted in the urine. Although the renal clearance of sumatriptan is only 20% of the total clearance, it exceeds the glomerular filtration rate, indicating that sumatriptan undergoes active renal tubular secretion. Sumatriptan has a large apparent volume of distribution (170 1) and an elimination half-life of 2 h. Oral doses of sumatriptan were administered as a solution of dispersible tablets and subcutaneous dosing was by injection into the arm. In clinical practice, sumatriptan is administered as a film coated tablet or by subcutaneous injection into the thigh.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) were studied after a single subcutaneous dose given by jet-injection, and have been compared with the results obtained after conventional needle-injection. Twelve healthy male volunteers completed an open label, randomised, two-way crossover study, with a 7-day washout period between the two single sc doses. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived from rhGH concentrations in blood samples collected regularly over 24 h after dosing on Day 1 of each period. To investigate the pharmacodynamics, additional samples were taken for the analysis of somatomedin C (IGF-I) and free fatty acids (FFA). A higher and earlier Cmax was found after jet-injection (ratio (%) jet-injected/needle-injected 124; 90%-confidence interval 108 – 142). The AUC0−∞ for rhGH were similar (ratio (%) jet-injected/needle-injected 98; 90%-confidence interval 93 – 103). Both treatments were associated with a significant and similar rise in IGF-I. Both administrations of rhGH were associated with identical rhythmical changes in FFA. The study indicates that jet-injected and needle-injected rhGH are bioequivalent with respect to the amount absorbed. The criterion for bioequivalence is not met for the rate of absorption. It is unlikely that the latter finding will influence the pharmacodynamics of rhGH, since bioequipotency was established for the effect on IGF-I generation. Jet-injection was safe in use and was generally well tolerated.

    Notes: Abstract This was a 2-period randomized, crossover study in 8 healthy males to determine the effects of cimetidine (400 mg q.i.d. for 6 days) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist, losartan (100 mg). Cimetidine increased the AUC for losartan 18% without affecting the AUC for E-3174, the active metabolite of losartan. The increase in plasma renin activity following losartan was not affected by cimetidine (maximum mean increases 12.6 and 12.1 ng Ang I·ml−1·h−1 without and with cimetidine, respectively). These results indicate that cimetidine does not appear to alter the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of losartan to a clinically significant extent.

    Notes: Abstract Quinidine is a very potent inhibitor of CYP2D6, but the role of the enzyme in the biotransformation of quinidine has only been investigated in a single in vitro study and in two small in vivo experiments, with contradictory results. The present investigation was designed to present definite evaluation of whether quinidine is metabolised by CYP2D6. Eight poor metabolizers (PM) and 8 extensive metabolizers (EM) of sparteine each took one oral dose of 200 mg quinidine. In the EM, the total clearance, the clearance via 3-hydroxylation and the clearance via N-oxidation, were 33, 3.7 and 0.23 l·h−1, respectively. In the PM, the corresponding values were 29, 3.1 and 0.18 l·h−1, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between EM and PM in any of these pharmacokinetic parameters. It is concluded that CYP2D6 is not an important enzyme for the oxidation of quinidine.

    Notes: Abstract The single-dose pharmacokinetics of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) were examined in 12 healthy younger subjects ≤55 years of age (YNG), 12 elderly subjects ≥65 years of age (ELD), 12 patients with biopsy proven hepatic cirrhosis (HEP) and 12 patients with moderate renal impairment (REN), ClCR 20–60 ml·min−1. The study was of parallel group design, with each of the four subject groups receiving escalating single oral doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg of nefazodone at 1 week intervals. Serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected for 48 h following each dose and plasma samples were assayed for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP by a validated HPLC method. Single oral doses up to 200 mg of nefazodone were well tolerated by all subjects. Maximum plasma levels of NEF and HO-NEF were generally attained within 1 h after administration of nefazodone. HO-NEF and mCPP plasma levels were about 1/3 and 〈1/10 those of NEF, respectively. There were no apparent gender-related pharmacokinetic differences in any group of subjects. NEF and HO-NEF pharmacokinetics were dose dependent in all four subject groups; a superproportional increase in AUC and an increase in t1/2 with increasing dose was obtained, indicative of nonlinear pharmacokinetics. Relative to normal subjects, elderly and cirrhotic subjects exhibited increased systemic exposure to NEF and HO-NEF, as reflected by AUC, at all doses of nefazodone; subjects with moderate renal impairment did not. Elderly and cirrhotic patients may require lower doses of NEF to achieve and maintain therapeutic effectiveness.

    Notes: Abstract The steady-state pharmacokinetics of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) were compared in subjects with normal and impaired renal function. Patients: The Study was of parallel group design which included 7 subjects with normal (NOR) renal function, CLCR≥72 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2, 6 with moderate (MOD) renal impairment, CLCR 31–60 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2 and 9 with severe (SEV) renal impairment, CLCR≤30 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2. Subjects in each renal function group received a 100-mg oral dose of nefazodone hydrochloride BID for 7 days and a single morning dose on day 8. Starting 48 h after the last 100-mg dose, 200-mg doses were administered on a similar schedule to 3, 4 and 3 subjects from each renal function group (NOR, MOD and SEV, respectively). Single trough blood samples just prior to each morning dose (Cmin) and serial samples after the dose on day 8 were obtained at each dose level for pharmacokinetic analysis. Plasma samples were assayed by a specific HPLC method for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP. The CMIN data indicated that steady state was attained by the third day of BID administration of both the 100- and 200-mg doses of nefazodone, regardless of degree of renal function. Both NEF and HO-NEF attained steady-state Cmax within 2 h after administration of nefazodone; tmax for mCPP was less defined and more delayed. HO-NEF and mCPP plasma levels were about 1/3 and 〈1/10 those of NEF, respectively, regardless of the status of renal function. Steady-state systemic exposure of NEF and HO-NEF, as reflected by AUC and Cmax, and elimination t1/2 values did not differ significantly among renal function groups. Conclusion: The study results suggest that dose adjustments may not be necessary, but nefazodone should be used with caution in the presence of severe renal impairment.

    Relationship of changes in felodipine pharmacokinetics to haemodynamics during chronic oral treatment of congestive heart failure patients (1995)

    Notes: Abstract In congestive heart failure patients the kinetics of felodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, show interpatient differences after acute i.v. administration that disappear after 8 weeks oral treatment with a change in kinetics in the patients with the largest clearances (CL) and the smallest volumes of distribution (V SS). Pharmacokinetic and haemodynamic data were combined to construct a haemodynamic-pharmacokinetic model. This model shows that the differences between the patients in i.v. pharmacokinetics are consistent with a difference in plasma flow distribution between liver and poorly perfused tissues. In patients in whom kinetics changed, felodipine treatment is supposed to cause a redistribution of flow from liver to peripheral tissues, accompanied by a decreased work load of the heart and a larger increase in VO2max during therapy than in the other patients, whose workload increased. This suggests a better therapeutic response in the patients whose kinetics changed. As change in kinetics is related to felodipine CL and CL to liver plasma flow, felodipine CL or even indocyanine CL might be predictive for the therapeutic effect of felodipine.

    Notes: Abstract 447C88 (N-Heptyl-N′-(2,4 difluoro-4-6-(2(-4-(2,2 dimethylpropyl)phenyl)ethyl)phenyl)urea) is an inhibitor of human microsomal AcylCoA:Cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) with an IC50 of 10.2 ng·ml−1 (23 nM). It is poorly absorbed but 5 mg·kg−1·day−1 completely abolishes the rise in plasma cholesterol in cholesterol-fed rats. In this study, twelve healthy, male volunteers received single, oral doses of 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg of 447C88 (n+8) or placebo (n+4) with food in a double-blind study with at least a week between occasions. The 400 mg dose was repeated after an overnight fast. Subsequently, fourteen different volunteers received a single 200 mg dose of 447C88 (n+8) or placebo (n+6) with food and, a week later, the same dose twice daily for 10 days; all doses were given with food. All doses were well tolerated with no significant changes in vital signs, full blood counts or plasma biochemical profiles. Plasma concentrations of 447C88 were unquantifiable after the fasting dose and low after all other doses. Mean Cmax and AUC were 1.8 ng·ml−1 and 9.0 ng·ml−1·h after 200 mg rising to 5.4 ng·ml−1 and 23.8 ng·ml−1·h respectively after 800 mg; t1/2 was 1.3 to 5.2 h. After 10 days dosing, plasma 447C88 concentrations were higher in the evening than the morning probably due to administration of the evening dose with more food. There were no significant changes in plasma triglcerides or total, LDL- or HDL-cholesterol after dosing with 447C88.

    Notes: Abstract Following a single-dose, open-label, pilot pharmacokinetic study in six subjects, the systemic pharmacokinetics and metabolic effects of dorzolamide after topical ocular administration were investigated in a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study in 12 healthy volunteers. The subjects received a controlled diet on the 5 days before treatment initiation and throughout the study. For 14 days, a bilateral q.i.d. regimen of 3% dorzolamide, consisting of approximately 7.7 μg per day (21.3 μmol) dorzolamide hydrochloride, or placebo was given. Blood and urine electrolytes and acid-base profiles were measured 1 day prior to treatment and on days 1, 7 and 14 of treatment, and 24-h urine samples were collected daily. Topically applied dorzolamide was slowly taken up in erythrocytes and eliminated with a half life of approximately 120 days. Compared to the pre-study values, no significant treatment effect was observed in either the daily profiles or the 14-day cumulative sodium, potassium and citrate excretions. Two other volunteers given acetazolamide (125 mg q.i.d.) and assessed with the identical set of observations demonstrated marked metabolic changes. In spite of the prolonged and marked inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in red blood cells by dorzolamide, clinically significant metabolic and renal effects were not observed. The ocular tolerability profile was acceptable to all subjects.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the elimination of amrinone during continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVHF) in three anuric patients after cardiac surgery. The patients had developed low cardiac output followed by acute prerenal failure. Plasma amrinone levels measured by HPLC were fitted to a two-compartment model. We found significant amrinone clearance, with a mean sieving coefficient (S) of 0.44%, which correlates with the protein-unbound, pharmacologically effective fraction of amrinone. The AUC of the arterial plasma concentration-time curve was decreased by 49.8%. All pharmacokinetic parameters showed wide interindividual variation. To ensure the therapeutic effect of amrinone and to avoid toxic adverse effects monitoring of plasma amrinone levels is necessary.

    Notes: Abstract Investigations in animals have suggested that conjugation of paracetamol may be reduced in malaria. We have measured plasma concentrations and the urinary excretion of paracetamol and its phase II metabolites in eight Thai patients during uncomplicated falciparum malaria and in convalescence, following a 1000 mg single oral dose. The apparent oral clearance (Malaria, 3.6; Convalescence, 3.9; ml·min−1·kg−1), the elimination half-life (Malaria, 3.8; Convalescence, 3.7 h) and apparent volume of distribution (Malaria, 1.2; Convalescence, 1.2; l·kg−1) of paracetamol were similar during malaria and convalescence. In addition, the urinary excretion of paracetamol and its major phase II metabolites and their formation clearances from paracetamol were not significantly different between the two study phases. These data show that clinical malaria infection has no effect on the conjugation of paracetamol in man.

    Notes: Abstract The relative bioavailability of nicotine from a nasal spray was assessed in 15 smokers suffering a common cold and rhinitis according to generally accepted criteria. The patients were given a single dose of 2 mg nicotine from the nasal spray with and without concurrent administration of a nasal vasoconstrictor decongestant, xylometazoline, in randomised order. Control session measurements were made in the disease-free state. Applying strict bioequivalence criteria, we found that common cold/rhinitis slightly reduced the bioavailability of nicotine, both in its rate and extent; the geometric mean of the ratio of Cmax, AUC and tmax were 0.81, 0.93 and 1.36, respectively. The nasal vasoconstrictor, xylometazoline, normalised the extent of the bioavailability of nicotine, but further prolonged the time for absorption to almost twice that measured in the disease-free state, increasing the tmax ratio to 1.72. The results suggest that a minor proportion of people stopping smoking with the help of a nicotine nasal spray may experience a minor reduction in the effect of the spray during common cold/rhinitis. However, the nicotine self-titration behaviour found with most smoking cessation products (except the nicotine patch) will automatically lead to an adjustment of the dosage to achieve the desired effect.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the pharmacokinetics of a single 0.5-mg i.v. dose of chlordesmethyldiazepam in 8 patients with liver disease and in 12 age-matched healthy controls. The kinetics were also studied of a single 1-mg oral dose in the patients with liver disease. After i.v. administration the kinetics of total chlordesmethyldiazepam in patients with liver disease differed from those in controls: elimination half-life was almost twice that in controls (395 and 204 h), as a consequence of a marked reduction in total clearance (0.13 and 0.25 ng·ml−1·h−1), whereas the apparent volume of distribution was similar in patients and controls (4.7 and 3.9 1/kg−1). The free fraction of the drug in patients was higher (5.5%) than in controls (2.9%). Correction for differences in protein binding revealed clearance in the patients was one-fifth (1.8 and 10.5 ng ml−1·kg−1) and volume of distribution one-half (65.0 and 118.4 1·kg−1) that in controls. The systemic availability of oral chlordesmethyldiazepam was high (110%) in spite of a relatively slow absorption rate. These results indicate a need for caution in the administration of chlordesmethyldiazepam to patients with liver disease.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of a Finnish sauna on propranolol pharmacokinetics and on the pharmacodynamics of propranolol and captopril were studied in healthy, young volunteers (2 males, 6 females) in a double-blind, cross-over trial. The subjects received single oral doses of placebo. propranolol (40 mg) or captopril (12.5 mg) in sauna and control sessions at a one-week interval. The sauna sessions consisted of three repetitive 10-min stays in a sauna (85–100°C, relative humidity 25–35%) separated by two 5-min rest periods in a cool room. Sauna bathing started 35, 50 and 65 min after ingestion of the drugs. Venous blood for plasma propranolol measurement were collected before and 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 min and 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 24 h after drug intake. The sauna significantly increased the maximum concentration (Cmax 41 vs. 28 ng·ml−1) of propranolol and the mean plasma propranolol concentration 60 and 90 min, and 2 and 3 h after drug administration. It also significantly increased the AUC0–5h (119 vs 71 μg·h·l-1) of propranolol from 0 to 5 hours tmax, t1/2β and AUC0–24h of propranolol did not differ between the control and sauna sessions. The higher propranolol levels during and after the cessation of sauna bathing did not lead to significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate compared to the control period. Captopril had no major effects on these parameters during the post-sauna phase. The results suggest that a sauna may increase the plasma propranolol concentration, but that did not notably affect the blood pressure or heart rate in healthy, young volunteers during the post-sauna phase.

    Notes: Abstract This study assessed the influence of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, 1.0 g), ibuprofen (0.8 g) and paracetamol (1.0 g) on the single-dose kinetics of ethanol in 12 healthy volunteers ingesting the drug and a standardised 1840-kJ breakfast 1 h before intake of ethanol. It also assessed the influence of ethanol on the single-dose kinetics of 1.0 g ASA in ten fasting healthy volunteers. Plasma concentrations of ethanol were measured by gas chromatography, and those of the drugs by liquid chromatography. There was no effect of ASA, ibuprofen or paracetamol on the single-dose kinetics of ethanol, but concurrent intake of ethanol reduced the peak concentration of ASA by 25%.

    Notes: Abstract Recombinant hirudins are currently under investigation for use in myocardial infarction and unstable angina. In this study the influence of piroxicam on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a recombinant hirudin preparation (CGP 39393) administered intravenously was determined. Twelve healthy, male volunteers received piroxicam 10 mg and matching placebo once daily for 12 days according to a double-blind, randomised cross-over design. On the 12th day, the dose of piroxicam was followed by a 6-hour infusion of hirudin 0.1 mg·kg−1·h−1. Plasma concentrations and urinary excretion of hirudin and repeated measurements of the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), bleeding time and platelet adhesion index were assessed up to 24 h after the start of the infusion. The maximum APTT was 83 s (placebo) and 84 s (piroxicam), 3 to 4 h after the start of the infusion, and was comparable on both study days. The AUD0–24 (APTT) came to 913 s·h·kg−1 under placebo and it was slightly increased to 1,017 s·h·kg−1 after piroxicam; the 95%-confidence interval according to MOSES ranged from 0.97 to 1.24, and the point estimator was 1.10. Bleeding time was significantly prolonged from 290 s under placebo to 345 s under piroxicam before the start of the infusion of hirudin. No further prolongation was found during or after the infusion. No change was observed in the platelet adhesion index. Responsiveness parameters according to a sigmoidal Emax-model were obtained from the hirudin-plasma concentration/effect (i.e. APTT-prolongation)-curves after placebo and piroxicam. Maximal APTT-prolongation (Emax; i.e. peak APTT minus the baseline value) was 53 s after placebo and 52 s after piroxicam. The EC50 was 34 nmol·l−1 after placebo and 40 nmol·h·l−1 after piroxicam. The AUC0 of hirudin was to 539 nmol·h·l−1·kg−1 under placebo and 557 nmol·h·l−1·kg−1 after piroxicam coadministration; the 95%- confidence interval according to MOSES ranged from 0.95 to 1.14, and the point estimator was 1.03. No period effect was detected. There were no significant differences between the other pharmacokinetic parameters except Vss, which was increased slightly from 0.23 l to 0.27 l under piroxicam. The results do not show a clinically relevant pharmacodynamic and/or pharmacokinetic interaction between hirudin and piroxicam.

    Notes: Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole after oral administration in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. After an overnight fast, a single dose of either 2 mg·kg−1 or 8 mg·kg−1 was administered in a suspension; five children received 2 mg·kg−1 and four 8 mg·kg−1 (ages 5–13 years). Blood samples were collected at various times on day 1, and once daily on days 2–7 after the dose. Fluconazole serum concentrations were measured by gas chromatography. At the dose of 2 mg·kg−1, the Cmax, AUC (0–∞), and t1/2 ranged from 2.3–4.4 μg·ml−1, 84.9–136 μg·h·ml−1, and 19.8–34.8 h, respectively. At the dose of 8 mg·kg−1 the Cmax, AUC (0–∞), and t1/2 ranged from 5.4–12.1 μg·ml−1, 330–684 μgh·ml−1, and 25.6–42.3 h, respectively. When compared with published data in healthy adults, fluconazole achieved similar serum concentrations in the present group of children, indicating a nearly complete degree of absorption.

    Notes: Abstract Idrapril is the prototype of a new class of ACE inhibitors, characterised by the presence of a hydroxdmic group. Six untreated in-patients with essential hypertension were given single oral doses of the calcium salt of idrapril, idrapril calcium (200 mg) and placebo according to a double blind, randomised experimental design. Supine and upright blood pressure, heart rate, plasma idrapril serum ACE, active renin and angiotensin II were measured at timed intervals for 24 hours after dosing. Plasma idrapril reached a peak after 2 hours (3.01 μ·ml−1), and by 12 hours the compound had al most disappeared (67 ng·ml−1). Derived t1/2 was 1.4–2.2 h. ACE activity was suppressed [from 77.9 to 3.3 after 2 hours and 11.8 after 12 hours nmol−1·min−1·ml] and angiotensin II production inhibited [from 8.8 to 3.1 (after 1 hour) and 7.5 (after 12 hours) pg·ml−1] for up to 12 h, while active renin rose up to 24 h [from 12.3 to 20.1 (after 8 hours) and 17.5 (after 24 hours) pg·ml−1]. Compared to placebo, idrapril calcium significantly lowered both supine blood pressure starting at 4 hours (idrapril calcium 140/93 mmHg; placebo 157/101 mmHg) up to 24 hours (idrapril calcium 142/91 mmHg; placebo: 155/97 mmHg), and upright blood pressure starting at 3 hours (idrapril calcium 135/95 mmHg; placebo 147/100 mmHg) up to 24 hours (idrapril calcium 132/92 mmHg; placebo 145/100 mmHg). Idrapril calcium appears to be an effective ACE inhibitor in essential hypertension, with a hypotensive action for up to 24 h.

    Notes: Abstract Patients with cystic fibrosis absorb cyclosporin poorly and erratically. We have compared the relative bioavailability of cyclosporin from conventional and microemulsion formulations in 5 adult heart-lung transplant candidates with cystic fibrosis. Relative bioavailability was compared at two dose levels (200 mg and 800 mg). A randomized 4-period cross-over study was performed with at least a 7 days washout period between each single dose pharmacokinetic study. Blood cyclosporin concentrations were measured by a selective monoclonal antibody-based radioimmunoassay. The bioavailability of cyclosporin from the microemulsion formulation was 1.84 (95% C.I. 1.05 to 3.22; P−0.04) and 2.09 (95% C.I. 0.95 to 4.61; P−0.06) times higher compared with the conventional formulation at 200 mg and 800 mg respectively. Cmax following the microemulsion formulation was 3.38 (C.I. 1.14 to 10.59; P−0.04) and 2.77 (C.I. 1.48 to 5.19; P−0.01) times higher compared with the conventional formulation at 200 mg and 800 mg respectively. The higher Cmax following the microemulsion formulation was accompanied by shorter tmax. An enhancement of cyclosporin absorption with the microemulsion formulation was demonstrated in each patient for at least one dose level. We conclude that rate and extent of cyclosporin absorption from the microemulsion formulation is greater compared with the conventional formulation in patients with cystic fibrosis. The potential therapeutic and economic benefits of the micro-emulsion formulation should be evaluated in cystic fibrosis patients following heart-lung transplantation.

    Notes: Abstract SCH 42354, a neutral metalloendopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor, is the pharmacologically active form of the prodrug SCH 42495. It exerts antihypertensive effects by potentiating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) activity through inhibition of its hydrolysis by NEP. The objective of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SCH 42354 in hypertensive males. SCH 42495 12.5 to 400 mg was administered orally to hypertensive men twice daily in a double-blind, placebo controlled multiple-dose parallel group design. Plasma SCH 42354 concentration and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) data were used to develop a PK-PD model using two approaches. In the first (non-integrated) approach, the “link” model was used to predict effect-site concentrations, and was applied to data obtained at the 300 and 400 mg BID doses only; data at the other (lower) doses were not amenable to modeling because of high variability. Effect-site concentration and DBP data were then fit to a sigmoid Emax PD model. For the 300 mg BID dose, PD parameters were: maximum effect (Emax), 8.1mmHg; no-drug effect (Eo), 3.6 mmHg; concentration corresponding to 50% of maximum response (EC50), 0.87 μg·ml−1; and gamma, 3.9. In the second (time-integrated) approach, plasma SCH 42354 concentration and effect data obtained over the entire dose range were integrated with respect to time. Average plasma concentration and DBP data were then fit to a simple Emax PD model. PD parameters obtained over the dose range were: Emax, 10.3 mmHg; Eo, 2.0 mmHg; and EC50, 0.7 μg·ml−1. These were similar to the estimates obtained from the first approach, demonstrating that the integrated (average) data allow PK-PD modeling over the (entire) dose range. The analysis showed that, at steady-state, a 400 mg BID dose of SCH 42495 produced an approximate 10 mmHg decrease in DBP in hypertensive males; the average plasma SCH 42354 concentration attained at this dose was approximately 1.8 μg·ml−1.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of pH on the buccal and sublingual absorption of captopril was evaluated using in vitro techniques and human studies. Partitioning of captopril into n-octanol was lowest over the pH range 5 to 8 and highest at pH values 3, 4 and 9. Using the buccal absorption technique, the partitioning of captopril (2 mg) was examined in six healthy male volunteers from buffered solutions (pH 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). Lowest buccal partitioning occurred at pH 3 while maximal buccal partitioning occurred at pH 7. These data clearly indicated that the buccal absorption of captopril did not obey the classical pH/partition hypothesis suggesting that mechanisms other than passive diffusion were involved in its absorption. Captopril pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were determined after administration of buffered sublingual captopril (pH 7, optimal pH for absorption as determined from the buccal partitioning data) and unbuffered sublingual captopril. The study was performed in eight healthy volunteers in a randomised single-blind cross-over fashion. The tmax for captopril was found to be approximately 11 minutes earlier after buffered versus unbuffered sublingual administration and AUC0–30 min increased by approximately 30% in the case of buffered captopril. Cpmax, AUC0–180 min and relative bioavailability did not differ between the buffered and unbuffered administration. Pharmacodynamic parameters (BP, heart rate and plasma renin activity) did not differ significantly between buffered and unbuffered sublingual administration. The increased rate of captopril absorption after buffered sublingual administration was small and is likely to offer little therapeutic advantage over conventional sublingual formulation.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of enantiomers of pimobendan and their demethylated metabolites in plasma and red cells were studied in 8 normal healthy volunteers. After racemic pimobendan 5 mg IV, the plasma concentration-time curve followed a two-compartment open-model with elimination half-lives of 1.81 h and 1.86 h for (+)- and (−)-pimobendan, respectively. The clearances and volumes of distribution postequilibrium were 13.5 ml · min−1 · kg−1, 14.4 ml · min−1 · kg−1; 1.74 l · kg−1 and 2.34 l · kg−1 for (+)- and (−)-pimobendan, respectively. Plasma protein binding (n=3) of (+)-, (−)-pimobendan, (+)- and (−)-demethylated metabolites was 97.6, 97.6, 92.2 and 92.5%, respectively. The plasma concentration-time curve also followed a two-compartment open model after oral administration of 7.5 mg racemic pimobendan. The absolute bioavailabilities of (+)- and (−)-pimobendan were 0.51 and 0.55. Peak levels of (+)-and (−)-pimobendan, both at 1.2 h, were 15.8 and 16.8 ng · ml−1, respectively. The (+)- and (−)-pimobendan concentrations in red cells were determined and their pharmacokinetics were estimated using red blood cell data. Interesting phenomena were observed: the peak concentrations of (+)- and (−)-pimobendan in red blood cells were about 5.5- and 9.2-times higher than in plasma, and the AUCs were correspondingly elevated. The volume of distribution of the central compartment of (−)-pimobendan in red cell was significantly smaller than that of (+)-pimobendan. (0.24 vs. 0.42 l · kg−1.) Similar phenomena were found after IV administration. These all indicated stereoselective partitioning or distribution of (−)-pimobendan into red cells. Since the elimination half-life of (+)- and (−)-pimobendan in red cells was similar (3.07 vs 2.97 h), the highly significant difference in clearance between (+)- and (−)-pimobendan (3.7 vs 2.3 ml · min−1 · kg−1) was solely due to the stereoselective distribution of (−)-pimobendan into the red blood cells. This stereoselective property of the (−)-isomer may be the explanation of a previous report that (−)-pimobendan produced a 1.5-times larger contractile force in detergent-skinned preparations of cardiac muscle from guinea pig and dog than the (+)-isomer.

    Notes: Summary Leucovorin (LV) is commonly used as a modulator of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cytotoxicity. In patients with colon cancer, the addition of LV to 5-FU improves response rates, and in some trials has improved survival in advanced disease and in the adjuvant setting. Leucovorin is generally administered as a racemic mixture, but the isomers differ substantially in pharmacokinetics and biological activity, with 6S-LV the predominant active component. The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of 6R on the pharmacokinetics of 6S-LV, and to characterize the toxicity and antitumor effect of 5-FU when administered with 6S-LV to patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma. Thirty patients were treated with weekly 5-FU plus high dose 6S-LV. To determine the effects of 6R-LV on the pharmacokinetics of 6S-LV, 20 patients were randomly assigned to receive either 250 mg/m2 6S-LV or 500 mg/m2 6R,S-LV as a 2 hour IV infusion on day −2, and the other preparation on day −1, with pharmacokinetics measured each day. The presence of 6R-LV had no effect on the AUC, Clp, Cmax, or terminal phase t1/2 of 6S-LV. The overall response rate was 40% (C.I. 23–60%). The most frequent toxicities were gastrointestinal. In this small cohort, scheduled and delivered dose intensity was positively associated with response (p=0.05). These results show that there is no pharmacokinetic advantage to the use of 6S-LV rather than 6R,S-LV as a modulator of 5-FU.

    Notes: Abstract A compartmental and non-compartmental study was carried out on five adult goats following intramuscular administration of doxycycline at 20 mg/kg bodyweight. The concentration of the drug in serum was determined by a microbiological assay employingBacillus cereus varmycoides (ATCC 11778) as the test organism. The mean serum concentration (C max) and the time of maximum concentration (T max) were 1.87 µg/ml and 0.85 h, respectively. Using compartmental analysis, the plasma concentration-time curve of doxycycline best fitted a three-compartment open model with first-order absorption. A three-phase disposition of doxycycline was found, the terminal elimination half-life being approximately 40 h. The statistical moment theory was mainly used for non-compartmental analysis. The value obtained for the mean residence time (MRT) was 16.41 h. The mean values for the volume of distribution at steady state (V dss), determined by compartmental and non-compartmental analyses, were 8.73 and 13.19 L/kg, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences when the major pharmacokinetic parameters were compared. It was concluded that the pharmacokinetic behaviour of doxycycline in goats after intramuscular administration is characterized by a three-compartment model with a slow terminal elimination phase. Based on current knowledge, this could be due to enterohepatic recycling and/or flip-flop kinetics. The study indicated that a single intramuscular administration of 20 mg/kg of doxycycline may only provide therapeutic concentrations for up to 24 h owing to slow absorption at the injection site.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of Sb was examined in 29 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis following the intramuscular administration of a dose of sodium stibogluconate equivalent to 600 mg of Sb. Blood was sampled at different time intervals from each patient and Sb was measured in whole blood by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry after an appropriate dilution with Triton X-100. The 24-hr urine- was also collected and analyzed similarly. The blood concentration-time data conformed to the one-compartment open model with mean and (SEM) of the apparent first-order rate constants for absorption (ka) and elimination (kd) of 1.71 (0.15) and 0.391 (0.016) hr−1, respectively. The maximum concentration of Sb achieved was 8.77 (0.39) mg/L and the peak time was 1.34 (0.09) hr. The total body clearance (TBC) and the volume of distribution (Vd) were 17.67 (1.38) L/hr and 45.7 (2.6) L, respectively, assuming a complete absorption. The fraction of dose of Sb excreted in the urine was 0.80 (0.07) and the renal clearance was 12.7 (1.16) L/hr. The frequency distribution pattern of the area-under-the-curve (AUC) appears to be bimodal and separates patients into those with low exposure to Sb (AUC = 11.7-29.04 mg.hr/L) (i.e., rapid eliminators) and those with high exposure to Sb (AUC = 31.5-49.1 mg.hr/ L) (i.e., slow eliminators). This may explain the variability observed in the response to treatment of leishmaniasis with sodium stibogluconate.

    Notes: Abstract The toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of etoposide phosphate (BMY-40481), a water soluble phosphate ester derivative of etoposide, were investigated in beagle dogs (N = 4) following 5 min i.v. infusion doses equivalent to 57, 114 and 461 mg/m2 of etoposide. The doses were administered in sequence starting with the low dose. There was a 28 day wash-out period between the doses. Serial blood samples were collected over 32 hr and the levels of intact BMY-40481 and etoposide in plasma were measured using validated HPLC assays. Hematology profiles were obtained at pre-dose, and twice a week post-dose for 28 days to correlate systemic exposure to etoposide and hematologic toxicity. Following i.v. administration, plasma concentrations of BMY-40481 declined rapidly. For the 3 doses, mean t1/2 of BMY-40481 ranged from 0.11 - 0.17 hr (6.6-11 min). The mean Cmax and AUC values of BMY-40481 ranged from 1.72 - 40.5 µg/ml and 0.16 - 4.14 hr.µg/ml, respectively. Both systemic clearance and steady state volume of distribution of BMY-40481 decreased significantly at the high dose. In contrast, the mean Cmax and AUC values of etoposide ranged from 5.46 - 39.4 µg/ml and 2.28 - 22.6 hr.µg/ml, respectively. Cmax occurred at the end of infusion (5 min) at all dose levels, indicating that etoposide was rapidly formed from BMY-40481. The apparent systemic clearance (range: 342 - 435 ml/min/m2) and apparent steady state volume of distribution (range: 21.5 - 26.6 1/m2) of etoposide were dose-independent. The AUC of etoposide was significantly correlated with hematologic toxicity, i.e., percent decreases in white blood count (WBC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and platelets. The relationship was best described by the sigmoid Emax model for WBC and ANC, and by a simple linear model for platelets. Hemoglobin showed slight decreases which did not correlate with etoposide AUC. In summary, BMY-40481 is rapidly and extensively converted to etoposide; etoposide exhibits linear kinetics; and except for hemoglobin, hematologic toxicity is significantly correlated with etoposide exposure.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of zalcitabine in HIV-positive patients. Methods. Twenty patients received single oral 1.5 mg doses of zalcitabine with and without a standard breakfast in an open-label, randomized crossover study with at least a one week washout period between treatments. Serial blood and urine samples were collected over 24 hours and assayed for zalcitabine by a modified GC/MS method. Results. Administration with food delayed and prolonged absorption resulting in a decrease of approximately 39% in maximal plasma concentrations compared to dosing under fasting conditions. Comparison of plasma AUC values indicated a small (14%) reduction in bioavailability when given with food. Approximately 59% and 45% of the dose were excreted unchanged in the urine under fasting and fed conditions, respectively. Conclusions. The results of this study show that the administration of zalcitabine with food results in a mild reduction in bioavailability. Although these changes are not expected to be of clinical importance, further studies must be conducted for confirmation.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To determine the pharmacokinetics of GS-522, an oligodeoxynucleotide (GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG) inhibitor of thrombin, after constant infusion and bolus administration in the cynomolgus monkey. Methods. Using a stability indicating HPLC method, the GS-522 plasma concentration versus time data were obtained after constant infusion (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 mg/kg/min) and bolus administration (11.25 and 22.5 mg/kg). Plasma data after bolus administration was fit to a three-compartment model. Results. The half-lives for the α and β phases were 1.4 and 5.4 min, respectively. Steady state GS-522 concentrations were reached within 10 minutes after initiation of constant infusions. Termination of infusions resulted in a rapid elimination of GS-522 with an average elimination half-life equal to 1.5 min. The Vss calculated from both the constant infusion and bolus data approximated the blood volume of the monkey. Substitution of the phosphodiester backbone at the 3′ end of GS-522 with two phosphorothioate linkages did not substantially effect the elimination half-life upon termination of infusion. Conclusions. These data in conjunction with published biodistribution data suggest that oligodeoxynucleotides are rapidly cleared from plasma by tissue uptake and that little efflux back into blood takes place. Additionally, strategies designed to increase oligodeoxynucleotide resistance to exonucleases will not dramatically increase plasma half-lives.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To quantify the advantage gained by direct administration to a target site for two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) piroxicam and diclofenac in the rat air pouch model of inflammation. To derive a model relating drug targeting index (DTI) to the pharmacokinetic parameters of the target and systemic sites, and to compare predictions with observations. Methods. DTI was calculated based on area under the concentration time curve at target (pouch) and systemic site (venous blood) following administration into and sampling from both sites. A model was derived relating DTI to systemic clearance, target permeability, plasma protein binding and fraction of the targeted dose that is systemically available. Results. Both NSAIDs exhibited linear pharmacokinetics over the dose ranges studies. They differed primarily in total body clearance which was approximately 16 fold greater for diclofenac (213 ml hr−l per 250 g) than piroxicam (13 ml hr−l per 250 g). Observed DTIs (11, 114 and 276 for piroxicam, S[ + ]ibuprofen [studied previously] and diclofenac) were ranked in order of total body clearance but were approximately 7.5 fold lower than predicted (101, 700 and 2214 respectively). Conclusions. The discrepancy was explained by the influx of the plasma binding protein, albumin, into the target site due to increased vascular permeability associated with the inflammatory response. The originally derived equation for DTI, which assumed only unbound drug diffuses across the target site, was modified to take into account the simultaneous flux of bound drug.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The effects of gender, pregnancy and anesthesia on the pharmacokinetics of zidovudine (AZT) were studied in rats. Methods. Unanesthetized male (MR), female (FR) and pregnant (day 20, PR) rats received 50 mg/kg AZT via a jugular vein cannula. Female (FRA), pregnant (day 20, PRA) and pregnant (day 20, PRR) rats maintained under ketamine: acepromazine:xylazine anesthesia also received 50 mg/kg AZT. Two fetuses were removed at each sampling time from the PRR group. Plasma samples were collected and analyzed by RIA. Results. With the exception of a lower non-renal clearance in female rats, there were no gender differences in the disposition of AZT. No significant differences were noted in total clearance, non-renal clearance or volume of distribution between pregnant and female rats, however, significant differences in renal clearance values were evident. Anesthesia resulted in decreased total, renal and non-renal clearances in female and pregnant rats. The removal of fetuses during the experiments did not alter the total clearance of AZT in pregnant rats, however, renal clearance and volume of distribution were decreased by cesarian section. Conclusions. The rat appears to be a suitable laboratory animal model for investigating AZT disposition during pregnancy. However, results of pharmacokinetic studies when animals are maintained under anesthesia with ketamine :acepromazine:xylazine must be interpreted with caution.

    Notes: Abstract Hepatic targeting of proteins utilizing the sugar-recognition mechanism was investigated in mice after intravenous injection. Five proteins with different molecular weights, i.e., bovine γ-globulins (IgG), bovine serum albumin (BSA), recombinant human superoxide dismutase (SOD), soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI), and chicken egg white lysozyme (LZM), were modified with 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl 1-thiogalactoside to obtain galactosylated proteins (Gal-IgG, Gal-BSA, Gal-SOD, Gal-STI, and Gal-LZM). The numbers of galactose residues were 38, 20, 11, 6, and 5 for Gal-IgG, Gal-BSA, Gal-SOD, Gal-STI, and Gal-LZM, respectively. All galactosylated proteins were dose-dependently taken up by the liver and the relative amount accumulated in the liver was decreased with an increase of the administered dose. At low doses (0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg), Gal-IgG, Gal-BSA, and Gal-SOD could be taken up by the liver up to more than 70–80% of dose within 10 min after intravenous injection, but the maximum amounts accumulated in the liver were approximately 40 and 30% of the dose for Gal-STI and Gal-LZM, respectively. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that the hepatic uptake clearance (CLliver) was quite different around the molecular weight of 32 kDa and correlated with the amount delivered to the liver; Gal-IgG, Gal-BSA, and Gal-SOD has a large CLliver that is close to the hepatic plasma flow rate (85 ml/hr), whereas those of Gal-STI and Gal-LZM were approximately 10 ml/hr at low doses. As for the total amount accumulated in the liver, high glomerular filtration rate of Gal-STI and Gal-LZM was also shown to cause insufficient delivery to the liver apart from being caused by their low CLliver.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. We evaluated the first-pass effects in vivo by the intestine and liver during enterohepatic circulation (EHC) by simultaneously measuring the portal and venous plasma concentrations of the rat. Methods. The venous and upper portal blood vessels were cannulated through the jugular and the pyloric veins, respectively, to obtain simultaneously blood samples from both sites. After diclofenac was injected as a bolus through the jugular vein, the concentrations of diclofenac in the portal and jugular veins were measured at time intervals. The absorption rate from the intestinal tract into the portal system was determined using the portal–venous difference in plasma concentrations of diclofenac, considering 40% partitioning of diclofenac into erythrocytes. Results. After one hour, the plasma concentration in the portal vein was always higher than that in the jugular vein in awakening rats with intact EHC (portal–venous blood concentration difference). No portal–venous difference was observed in awakening rats with bile-duct cannulation. Therefore, it was concluded that this portal–venous concentration difference was not due to the hepatic clearance but to diclofenac reabsorption from the intestinal tract. Conclusions. Appropriately 40% of the dose of diclofenac was reabsorbed over 8 hours from the intestinal tract into the portal system. By comparing the reabsorbed amounts in the portal system and in the systemic circulation, the hepatic extraction ratio in vivo (FH) of diclofenac was estimated to be 63%.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The effect of exogenous corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) on the pharmacokinetics of intravenous prednisolone was determined in rats to test the “free hormone hypothesis.” Methods. A dose of CBG to yield 95% binding with 1000 ng/ml of prednisolone in vitro in rat plasma or saline was administered before dosing 2 mg/kg of prednisolone hemisuccinate or methylprednisolone intravenously. Drug concentrations in plasma samples were assayed by HPLC. Results. Single administration of CBG decreased apparent prednisolone clearance by 56% (155 to 66 ml/min/kg) and reduced apparent Vss by 35% (4.1 to 2.7 L/kg) (p〈0.001). Methylprednisolone pharmacokinetics, studied as a negative control because the drug does not bind to CBG, did not change. Conclusions. The corticosteroid bound to CBG does not appear to be available for removal by clearance organs.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. A detailed investigation of the metabolic routes and rates of Dyn A1-13 in human blood and plasma was performed. Methods. Human plasma was incubated at 37°C with dynorphin A 1-13 (Dyn Al-13, 15-20 µM). The generated dynorphin fragments were separated by a new ion-pair chromatographic method and identified by matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectroscopy. The kinetic behavior of parent compound and metabolites was evaluated in the absence and presence of enzyme inhibitors. Results. The major plasma metabolites of Dyn Al-13 were Dyn A1-12, A2-12, A4-12 and A4-8. Further metabolites were Dyn A2-13, A3-13, A3-12, A5-12, A6-12, A7-12, Al-10, A2-10, A2-8 and A3-8. At 37°C, Dyn Al-13 had a half-life of less than one minute in plasma and blood. Plasma half-lives of major metabolites ranged between 0.5 and 4 min. Inter-and intra-individual differences in healthy volunteers were 30% (c.v.). Dyn Al-13 is mainly metabolized by carboxypeptidases to Dyn Al-12 (80%) and by aminopeptidases to Dyn A2-13 (15%). Dyn A1-12 and Dyn A2-13 are predominantly converted into Dyn A2-12 (67% of Dyn Al-13). Subsequent metabolic steps yield Dyn A3-12 (16%), Dyn A4-12 (37%) and Dyn A4-8 (33%). Aminopeptidases generate Dyn A2-12, A3-12, A4-12, A5-12. ACE metabolizes Dyn Al-12 (19%), A2-12 (33%), A3-12 (34%) and A4-12 (46%). Bestatin-sensitive endopeptidases (possibly endopeptidase 24.11) metabolize 30% of Dyn A2-12. Dyn A4-8 is formed via Dyn A4-12 (23% of Dyn A4-12) and Dyn A2-10 (37% of Dyn A2-10). Conclusions. The combination of enzyme inhibition experiments and noncompartmental kinetic analysis proved to be a powerful tool for the detailed evaluation of the metabolic fate of Dyn Al-13 in human blood and plasma.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The pharmacokinetic properties of methotrexate (MTX) in the plasma and synovial fluid (SF) after bolus IV and topical administration were studied in dogs to assess the feasibility of topical delivery of MTX for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods. A MTX gel in Poloxamer 407 containing an absorption enhancer was formulated and topically applied on the elbow and stifle joints of dogs. SF was collected by inserting a needle with syringe into the joint space. Drug concentrations in the plasma, SF and muscle tissues were determined using a HPLC method with fluorimetric detection. Results. Peak MTX concentrations in SF occurrred at 38 ± 5 min following bolus IV dose, indicating the presence of a substantial diffusion barrier between the plasma and SF. The plasma/SF concentration ratios of 1.16 ± 0.25 were maintained after the attainment of distribution equilibrium between the two compartments. The t1/2 values in the plasma (11.2 ± 1.2 hr) and SF (12.7 ± 3.7 hr) were similar during the elimination phase, while the MRT in SF (3.24 ± 0.21 hr) was longer than that in plasma (2.56 ± 0.20 hr), probably due to the slow distribution of MTX to SF. After topical dose, MTX concentrations in plasma reached the steady state at ~4 hr, lasting for ~20 hr.The bioavailability of MTX from the gel was 11.8 ± 3.3% of the applied dose, but muscle tissues beneath the gel application site had significantly higher levels of MTX than untreated muscle tissues. There was no statistical difference in SF concentrations of MTX between drug treated and untreated joints 24 hr after topical dose. Conclusions. Topical delivery of MTX in a hydrophilic gel achieved a sustained C/t profile in plasma and higher drug levels in muscle tissues underneath the dosing site, implicating the potential therapeutic value of the topical formulation.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The purpose of this study was to use a replicate designed trial to assess the overall, intra- and inter-subject variabilities in pharmacokinetic parameters of CGP 33101 after oral administration of tablets relative to that of powder suspended in water, and to determine the relative proportion of the intra-subject variance to the overall variability. Methods. Sixteen healthy subjects were randomly assigned to four groups to receive tablets and suspension twice in four different treatment sequences. The plasma concentration-time profile of CGP 33101 was characterized in terms of Cmax, Tmax, and AUC. Bioavailability of tablets relative to suspension and intra- and inter-subject variability were assessed by statistical analysis. Results and Conclusions. The overall variabilities in absorption kinetics of CGP 33101 in healthy subjects were small with CV's of the population mean values for AUC and Cmax less than 26% for both tablets and suspension. Contribution of intra-subject variability to the overall variability was also small (~20%). Both the overall and intra-subject variabilities of AUC and Cmax after suspension were larger than after the tablets. However, the differences in variability between tablets and suspension were not statistically significant (p 〉 0.05). The tablet formulation was bioequivalent to suspension in terms of rate and extent of absorption based on 90% conventional confidence intervals (for AUC and Cmax) and Wilcoxon rank-sum test (for Tmax).

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To study the effect of probenecid on the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of oxprenolol and its glucuronides in the rabbit. Methods. An oral dose of 50 mg/kg racemic oxprenolol was given to nine rabbits twice, in random sequence with and without the concurrent administration of probenecid. Oxprenolol enantiomers were determined in plasma and urine by an enantioselective HPLC method. Oxprenolol glucuronides were measured in plasma and urine after enzymatic hydrolysis. Results. The disposition of the oxprenolol enantiomers in rabbits is stereoselective, mainly due to a difference in metabolism. Renal excretion is only a minor elimination route for unchanged oxprenolol, and the renal clearances of the enantiomers are similar. Pre-treatment with probenecid did not affect the plasma concentrations of the oxprenolol enantiomers, but there was a slight decrease in their urinary excretion. The plasma concentrations of the oxprenolol glucuronides are much higher than those of the parent enantiomers, and those of (S)-glucuronide are about twice those of its antipode. About 10% of the oxprenolol dose is excreted in the urine as glucuronides. The renal clearances of both glucuronides are similar, and markedly higher than the creatinine clearance. After probenecid, the mean glucuronide plasma levels were markedly higher, with for both glucuronides a more than twofold increase in mean AUC. Probenecid decreased the renal clearance of both glucuronides to about 30%. Moreover, it decreased slightly the formation clearance of (S)-glucuronide, while the formation clearance of (R)-glucuronide was not significantly influenced. Conclusions. Our results show that in the rabbit, both oxprenolol glucuronide diastereomers are actively secreted by the kidney, and that this process is inhibited by probenecid.

    Notes: Abstract The free concentrations of the serotoninergic 5-HT3 antagonist SDZ ICM 567 in blood and in the central nervous system were examined in awake, freely-moving rats using blood and brain microdialysis coupled to liquid chromatography. Microdialysis probes were implanted in the jugular vein and in the frontal cortex and dialysis samples were simultaneously collected from both sites. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated after a 10 mg/kg intravenous dose of [14C]SDZ ICM 567. The elimination half lives measured in whole blood, brain and blood microdialysates were similar (≃1.7 h). The AUC0–5h corresponding to the unbound drug was 462 ± 142 ng · ml−1 · h in blood dialysate, not significantly different from the AUC corresponding to the free concentration in whole blood, i.e. 586 ± 63 ng · ml−1 h. The free fraction in blood obtained in vitro by equilibrium dialysis (21%) or by microdialysis (19%) was not statistically different from that obtained in vivo (17%) in microdialysis experiments. The unbound concentrations (AUC0–5h) of SDZ ICM 567 in the brain cortex were 86 ± 24 ng · ml−l - h, lower than those expected from unbound blood concentrations, suggesting an active transport out of the central nervous system. Finally, microdialysis sampling allowed the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters of SDZ ICM 567 in blood and brain as well as the estimation of the free fraction of drug in blood.

    Notes: Abstract The pulmonary deposition and pharmacokinetics of human growth hormone (hGH), administered by aerosol and instillate, in formulations containing 99mTc-DTPA (for gamma scintigraphic imaging) have been studied in five male New Zealand White rabbits. Gamma scintigraphy indicated that the peripheral:central deposition tended to be greater for aerosol (1.54) than for instillate (0.8). Two gamma scintigraphic methods were used to quantify dose deposited by aerosol, which permitted bioavailabilities to be determined. The bioavailable fraction for aerosolized hGH (45%) was greater than for instilled hGH (16%). This was attributed to the differential effects of mucociliary clearance. Absorption rate limited pharmacokinetics prevailed for both hGH formulations with post-peak half-lives approximately 10-fold greater than the intravenous elimination half-life of 40 min. Apparent absorption rate constants resulting from instillation and aerosolization were equivalent (0.0012 min−1and 0.0020 min−1respectively), however lung-to-blood transfer rate constants for aerosol delivery (0.00071 min −l) were greater than for instillation (0.00018 min−1).

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of deflazacort after oral administration (30 mg) to healthy volunteers were determined and compared with those of 20 mg of methylprednisolone and 25 mg of prednisolone. Methods. Methylprednisolone, prednisolone and the active metabolite of deflazacort, 21-desacetyldeflazacort, were measured in plasma using HPLC. For the assessment of pharmacodynamics, differential white blood cell counts were obtained over 24 hours. An integrated pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model was applied to link corticosteroid concentrations to the effect on lymphocytes and granulocytes. Results. Deflazacort is an inactive prodrug which is converted rapidly to the active metabolite 21-desacetyldeflazacort. Maximum concentrations of 21-desacetyldeflazacort averaged 116 ng/ml and were observed after 1.3 h. The average area under the curve was 280 ng/ml · h, and the terminal half-life was 1.3 h. 21-Desacetyldeflazacort was cleared significantly faster than both methylprednisolone and prednisolone. The PK-PD-model was suitable to describe time course and magnitude of the observed effects. The results were consistent with reported values for glucocorticoid receptor binding affinities for the investigated compounds. Conclusions. Due to the short pharmacokinetic half-life of its active metabolite, pharmacodynamic effects of deflazacort are of shorter duration than those of methylprednisolone and prednisolone. The PK-PD model allows good prediction of pharmacodynamic effects based on pharmacokinetic and receptor binding data.

    Liposomal Formulations of Cyclosporin A: Influence of Lipid Type and Dose on Pharmacokinetics (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Liposomal formulations of Cyclosporin A (CyA)3 have been described in more than 30 publications to substitute Cremophor EL (CrEL), a triricinoleate ester of ethoxylated glycerol, as drug carrier. However, conflicting reports did not allow to draw consistent conclusions about the influence of liposomes on CyA pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics. Methods. A series of liposomal CyA-formulations with varying liposome composition and lipid dose but constant CyA dose was compared in rats. Data were analysed with a PK-model taking into account the varying volume of distribution with the varying lipid concentration in blood. Results. Surface properties and lipid type of liposomes are not important PK predictors of liposomal CyA, at least for small dosages of liposomes. Rather, the absolute lipid amount and the lipophilicity of cyclosporins are critical factors influencing the PK of liposomal CyA. The higher the concentration of lipid in blood and the greater the lipophilicity of cyclosporin is, the higher are the concentrations of CyA in blood. Conclusions. These relations may explain the inconsistent literature results. Together with earlier observations from our group the above findings indicate, that CyA is not caged in the liposomal membranes. Reports in literature, which claim lower clearance and a lower volume of distribution of CyA in obese rats compared to lean rats, support our assumption about the involved mechanisms. A semi-quantitative model of CyA distribution is presented, which points to the variable free fraction of CyA in plasma as the crucial factor for all previously reported phenomena in liposomal CyA formulations.

    Notes: Abstract A third-generation pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model was proposed for receptor/genemediated corticosteroid effects. The roles of the messenger RNA (mRNA) for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in hepatic GR down-regulation and the mRNA for hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) induction by methylprednisolone (MPL) were examined. Male adrenalectomized Wistar rats received 50 mg/kg MPL iv. Blood and liver samples were collected at various time points for a period of 18 hr. Plasma concentrations of MPL, free hepatic cytosolic GR densities, GR mRNA, TAT mRNA, and TAT activities in liver were determined. Plasma MPL profile was biexponential with a terminal t1/2 of 0.57 hr. Free hepatic GR density rapidly disappeared from cytoplasm after the MPL dose and then slowly returned to about 60% of starting level after 16 hr. Meanwhile, GR mRNA level fell to 45% of baseline within 2 hr postdosing, and remained at that level for at least 18 hr. The GR down-regulation of GR mRNA and protein turnover rate were modeled. The TAT mRNA began to increase at about 2 hr, reached a maximum at about 5 hr, and declined to baseline by 14 hr. TAT induction followed a similar pattern, except the induction was delayed about 0.5 hr. Pharmacodynamic parameters were obtained by fitting seven differential equations in a piecewise fashion. The cascade of corticosteroid steps were modeled by a series of inductions for steroid-receptor-DNA complex, two intermediate transit compartments, TAT mRNA, and TAT activity. Results indicate that GR mRNA and TAT mRNA are major controlling factors for the receptor/gene-mediated effects of corticosteroids.

    Bayesian design criteria: Computation, comparison, and application to a pharmacokinetic and a pharmacodynamic model (1995)

    Notes: Abstract In this paper 3 criteria to design experiments for Bayesian estimation of the parameters of nonlinear models with respect to their parameters, when a prior distribution is available, are presented: the determinant of the Bayesian information matrix, the determinant of the preposterior covariance matrix, and the expected information provided by an experiment. A procedure to simplify the computation of these criteria is proposed in the case of continuous prior distributions and is compared with the criterion obtained from a linearization of the model about the mean of the prior distribution for the parameters. This procedure is applied to two models commonly encountered in the area of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics: the one-compartment open model with bolus intravenous single-dose injection and theE max model. They both involve two parameters. Additive as well as multiplicative gaussian measurement errors are considered with normal prior distributions. Various combinations of the variances of the prior distribution and of the measurement error are studied. Our attention is restricted to designs with limited numbers of measurements (1 or 2 measurements). This situation often occurs in practice when Bayesian estimation is performed. The optimal Bayesian designs that result vary with the variances of the parameter distribution and with the measurement error. The two-point optimal designs sometimes differ from the D-optimal designs for the mean of the prior distribution and may consist of replicating measurements. For the studied cases, the determinant of the Bayesian information matrix and its linearized form lead to the same optimal designs. In some cases, the pre-posterior covariance matrix can be far from its lower bound, namely, the inverse of the Bayesian information matrix, especially for theE max model and a multiplicative measurement error. The expected information provided by the experiment and the determinant of the pre-posterior covariance matrix generally lead to the same designs except for theE max model and the multiplicative measurement error. Results show that these criteria can be easily computed and that they could be incorporated in modules for designing experiments.

    Notes: Abstract A new method is proposed for modeling the temporal aspects of the pharmacodynamic-pharmacokinetic relationship of drugs. A semicompartmental solution to the effect-site link model of Sheiner et al. (1) formed the basis for this new approach. This semicompartmental solution does not require the specification of a compartmental model for the pharmacokinetic response and may offer an advantage when model misspecification is present in using standard compartmental models. A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the semicompartmental modeling approach. This method is easily implemented in standard nonlinear regression packages.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. CL 284,846 (CL846) is an investigational non-benzodiazepine agent with hypnotic, anxiolytic, myorelaxant and anticonvulsant properties. This study assessed the pharmacokinetics and anticonvulsant action of CL846 in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods. CL846 pharmacokinetics were examined after either an iv bolus dose (2.5 mg/kg) or a 6-hr infusion (0.4 mg/kg/hr). CL846 pharmacodynamics were evaluated with a pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) infusion 5 min after a CL846 in bolus dose (0 to 10 mg/kg). CL846 and the derived metabolite CL 284,859 (CL859) concentrations in serum and brain tissue were determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Results. Both the steady-state volume of distribution (1636 ± 162 and 1804 ± 293 ml/kg, after bolus and infusion administration, respectively) and systemic clearance (19.1 ± 7.1 and 22.2 ± 4.3 ml/min/kg for bolus and infusion administration, respectively) were high. No differences in pharmacokinetic parameters were noted between the two modes of administration. The relationship between anticonvulsant effect and brain/serum concentrations was well described by an Emax model. CL846 was as effective as triazolam in antagonizing PTZ-induced seizures. Conclusions. Under the conditions of the present study, CL846 pharmacokinetics were linear and stationary. Further evaluation of the anticonvulsant properties of CL846 is warranted, including the potential development of tolerance, which is well known for benzodiazepines.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The microcomputer program, MicroPharm-K (MP-K) was developed for pharmacokinetic modeling, including analysis of experimental data and estimation of relevant parameters, and simulation. The intention was to provide a user-friendly, interactive, event-driven program for PC computers. Methods. The data are ascribed to a predefined model from a library including various routes of administration, oral or intra-venous, bolus or infusion, and various compartmental interpretations, 1 to 3. Single and multiple administrations are supported. The program provides initial estimates of the parameters in most cases, and the parameters are then fitted to the model by non linear model fitting using either the Simplex, Evol, Gauss-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt or Fletcher-Powell algorithms. The non linear model fitting is based on the maximum likelihood method, and the criterion to minimize is either the weighted least squares (Chi2 criterion) or the extended least squares. Graphical representations of non-fitted or curve-fitted data are immediately available (including log-scale representation), as well as pharmacokinetic typical parameters such as area under the curve, clearance, volumes, time-rate constants, transfer rate constants, etc. Results. Simulated and experimental data were analysed and the results were similar to those obtained by other programs. Conclusions. This non linear fitting program has been proved in our laboratory to be a very effective package for pharmacokinetic studies, including estimation and simulation. Because it is easy-to-use and runs on basic computers, the program could also be used for educational purposes.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The absorption and disposition of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF), m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) and triazole dione (dione) were assessed in 10 healthy subjects following infusion of NEF solution into the proximal and distal regions of the intestine vs administration of NEF solution orally by mouth. Methods. NEF HC1 (400 mg) was infused over 5 hours into the proximal or distal intestine through a nasogastric tube, or orally ingested in 10 divided doses over 4.5 hours. The three treatments in the three-period crossover design were separated by one week. Results. The bioavailability of NEF, based on AUC(INF), from proximal and distal regions relative to that from oral administration was 97% and 106%, respectively. NEF was absorbed equally well from all three treatments with median Tmax of 5.0 hours which coincided with the duration of infusion. Mean Cmax of NEF was not different between proximal and oral administrations, however, mean Cmax after distal instillation was 40% lower than that after oral administration. Exposure to HO-NEF, mCPP and dione, following proximal instillation was also comparable to that after oral administration. AUC(INF) of HO-NEF and dione was significantly lower after distal instillation compared to that after oral administration but AUC(INF) of mCPP was not. Cmax of all metabolites was significantly lower after distal administration in comparison to oral treatment. Terminal half-life for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP after distal administration was longer than the other two treatments. Conclusions. NEF is absorbed throughout the length of the gastrointestinal tract which supports the development of an extended-release formulation of NEF. The exposure to the metabolites (relative to NEF) was lower from the distal intestinal site compared to the proximal and oral site which may be explained by a reduced first pass of NEF by the cytochrome P450 3A4 in the distal intestine.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The distribution of 125I-hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to either liver parenchymal cells (PC) or non-parenchymal cells (NPC) was investigated in rats. Methods. After injection of a trace amount of 125I-HGF, the distribution of radioactivity determined by microautoradiography closely resembled that of 125I-epidermal growth factor which distributes mainly to PC. Results. The uptake clearance of 125I-HGF estimated by determining the radioactivity of isolated liver cells was three times higher for PC than for NPC. This suggests that HGF distributes mainly to PC at relatively low doses. On the other hand, the uptake clearance by PC fell on coadministering an excess (80 µg/kg) of unlabeled HGF, while no change was observed for NPC, indicating that a saturable process for the hepatic handling of HGF exists only in PC where the HGF receptor is expressed. Conclusions. At such a dose the uptake clearance was comparable for both PC and NPC showing that HGF distributes to both cell types although NPC have few HGF receptors. Since the distribution to NPC was relatively non-specific and heparin-sensitive, it may be that heparin-like substances, which are believed to exist on PC and/ or the extracellular matrix, also exist on NPC.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. A comparison of a previously reported indirect (precolumn derivatization) assay for ketorolac (KT) and a new direct method described here was made to establish the conditions under which KT may undergo racemization and to explain the observed discrepancies in the pharmacokinetics of KT reported in the literature. Methods. A previously reported pre-column derivatization method and a new direct method were employed to determine the effect of pH and ionic strength on racemization. Using the conditions where no racemization occurred, the pharmacokinetics in humans and rats, and protein binding of KT enantiomers were determined. Results. Under the chromatographic conditions employed for the direct assay, no racemization was observed. Under high pH and ionic strength, however, both methods resulted in KT racemization. The indirect method resulted in rapid and complete racemization due to the strong basic conditions required for derivatization. In both humans and rats, the pharmacokinetics of racemic KT were stereoselective with the R enantiomer being predominant (AUC S/R: humans, 0.26; Rats: 0.45). This is likely due to more extensive plasma protein binding of S than its antipode (unbound S/R: 1.35). Conclusions. The discrepancies in the literature may be explained by rapid racemization of KT that occurs during sample preparation for the pre-column derivatization method. Considerations should be given to the possibility of racemization during the assay development and validation.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) was covalently conjugated to both rat and human serum albumin (RSA and HSA respectively) to increases the circulating half life (t1/2) of rhG-CSF. Methods. Conjugates of RSA (MW 67,000) and HSA (MW 66,000) were prepared by linking the two proteins through a heterobifunctional maleimido-carboxyl polyethylene glycol (PEG) and were tested in the rat. The conjugates were injected intravenously (IV) at the equivalent dose of 50 µg/kg of rhG-CSF, and white blood cell (WBC) counts and plasma concentrations of drug were determined. A comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters was made between rhG-CSF, the conjugates RSA-PEG-rhG-CSF and HSA-PEG-rhG-CSF, and a non-covalent mixture of rhG-CSF and HSA. Results. The albumin-rhG-CSF conjugates are eliminated more slowly from the circulation. The clearance values are reduced from 0.839 ± 0.121 ml/mm/kg for rhG-CSF to 0.172 ± 0.013 ml/min/kgfor RSA-PEG-rhG-CSF and 0.141 ± 0.005 ml/mm/kg for HSA-PEG-rhG-CSF. WBC counts increased in both absolute number and duration as compared to rhG-CSF alone. The albumin rhG-CSF conjugates had enhanced serum stability relative to free rhG-CSF. The rate of degradation of the albumin conjugates incubated in rat serum at 37°C decreased five fold. Conclusions. The results from the study show that specific conjugation of rhG-CSF to albumin decreases plasma clearance in vivo, causes increased WBC response, and increases serum stability as compared to free rhG-CSF.

    Notes: Abstract In this study, we derive pharmacokinetic models for oral extended-release (OER) drug products with defined in vivo release kinetics (IVRK) and a compartmental system. Fitting the model to clinical data, we were able to examine the correlation between released and absorbed fractions. Furthermore, we found that absorbed fractions of OER products can be expressed by absorption rate and release duration only. The expression is unchanged in different compartmental systems with the same IVRK, implying that the IVRK drives the pharmacokinetic system of an OER product. The apparent absorption rate constant of an OER product can be estimated by solving an implicit equation using observed concentrations. We also propose a new method for calculating absorbed fractions, which is more accurate than Loo-Riegelman method. Ultimately, these methods may permit optimally designed OER products.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The study determined the pharmacokinetics of urinary human follicle stimulating hormone (u-hFSH) in 12 down-regulated healthy female volunteers. Methods. Following pituitary desensitization, baseline FSH serum levels were measured over a 24-hour period. Then each subject received, in random order, single doses of u-hFSH (Metrodin®), 75 IU, 150 IU and 300 IU iv, and 150 IU im on four occasions separated by washout periods of one week. Blood and urine samples were collected at preset times. FSH levels were measured by a immuno-radiometric assay and an in vitro rat granulosa cells aromatase bioassay. Results. All doses of u-hFSH were well tolerated. After an iv bolus, the pharmacokinetics of FSH were well described by a two-compartment open model. Immunoassay data showed that the total exposure to FSH was proportional to the administered dose. Mean total clearance of FSH was approximately 0.5 L·h−1 and renal clearance was 0.14 L·h−1. The volume of distribution at steady-state was around 8 liters. The distribution half-life was 2 h and the terminal half-life nearly one day. After im injection, almost two thirds of the administered dose was available systemically. The in vitro bioassay confirmed this pharmacokinetic analysis. Conclusions. The estimation of the elimination half-life of around one day indicates that the maximal effect of a given dose of u-hFSH administered daily cannot be observed until 3 to 4 days of repeated administration. This indicates that, on a pure pharmacokinetic basis, physicians should wait at least 4 days to assess the efficacy of a given dose of u-hFSH and that they should not modify dosage too frequently.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Pharmacokinetics, metabolism and excretion of loteprednol etabonate (LE) were investigated in rats. Methods. The pharmacokinetic studies were performed by iv injections of LE (1-20 mg/ kg). In the metabolism and excretion studies, 0.5-10 mg/kg of LE were iv administered, bile and urine samples were collected for 6 hr. Results. The pharmacokinetic of LE showed a rapid, dose-dependent elimination with a total blood clearance (CLtotal) of higher than 60 ml/min/kg. The metabolism and excretion of LE also showed a marked dose-dependency. At 6 hr after iv of LE (0.5-10 mg/kg), the total recoveries (LE and the metabolites, AE & A, in bile and urine) were 99.35-26.72%. However, only about 2% of LE was excreted from the body through the urine. There were 0.93-2.12% and 0.66-0.26% of AE, and 75.67-19.69% and 20.74-2.77% of A excreted in the bile and urine, respectively. The excretion of A was dose dependent, and significantly higher at the lower dose. Using the (% of total excretion) vs. (log dose) plots, it could be predicted that almost all of the administered LE will be metabolized, and excreted as A when the systemic dose is lower than 0.25 mg/kg. Conclusions. The results indicate that LE absorbed systemically, after topical administration, can be rapidly transformed to the inactive metabolites, and eliminated from the body mainly through the bile and urine.

    Notes: Abstract Sumatriptan exhibits low oral bioavailability partly due to presystemic metabolism, which may vary with regional differences in metabolic activity throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This study evaluated sumatriptan absorption in humans after administration orally and by oroenteric tube into the jejunum and cecum. Because the site of cecal administration varied, pharmacokinetic parameters for sumatriptan and its major metabolite were compared statistically only after oral and jejunal administration. One-half of the oral dose was recovered in the urine as parent (3%) and metabolite (46%). Sumatriptan was absorbed throughout the gastrointestinal tract; absorption was similar after oral and jejunal administration, and less after cecal administration. The metabolite AUC and the AUC ratio (metabolite/parent) were significantly lower after jejunal compared to oral administration; the AUC ratio was two-fold lower after cecal administration. Results suggest that presystemic metabolism of sumatriptan varies throughout the gastrointestinal tract and/or regional differences exist in the absorption of metabolite formed within the gastrointestinal tract.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of norfloxacin (NOR), at steady-state plasma concentrations of 0–32 mg · 1−1, on the plasma clearance of a 6 mg · kg-1 iv bolus dose of theophylline (THEO) in the male Sprague-Dawley rat have been studied. The effects were characterised by a Ki value (Ki = 12 µM), which was comparable with Ki values obtained previously under identical conditions for ciprofloxacin, but higher than that obtained for enoxacin. The distributional characteristics, volume of distribution and liver to plasma concentration ratio, were very similar for the three compounds. The only marked pharmacokinetic differences were in hepatic clearance, where there was a rank order NOR 〉 ciprofloxacin 〉 enoxacin, a reverse of the order in the reduction of THEO clearance seen in clinical studies. The advantages of using the steady-state experimental design described here are that equivalent concentrations are utilised to compare related drugs and differences in pharmacokinetics are accounted for, to allow a direct comparison of potency. This information, together with additional pharmacokinetic considerations, suggests that the different effects on THEO clearance seen in the clinic for NOR, ciprofloxacin and enoxacin are not solely due to differences in inhibitory potency, but also involve differences in hepatic clearance and hence systemic availability of the fluoroquinolones.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The objective of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of 1 -(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-L-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyluracil (L-FMAU), a nucleoside analogue with potent activity against the hepatitis B virus and the Epstein-Barr virus, in rats. Methods. Three doses of L-FMAU were administered intravenously (10, 25, and 50 mg/kg) to rats, and L-FMAU concentrations in plasma and urine were measured by HPLC. Pharmacokinetic parameters were generated by using area-moment analysis. Results. There were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters between the three doses (α 〈 0.05). Thus, the disposition of L-FMAU was linear over the dosage of 10 to 50 mg/kg. Plasma concentrations of L-FMAU declined rapidly with a terminal phase half-life of 1.33 ± 0.45 h (mean ± SD). Total clearance of L-FMAU was moderate, averaging 1.15 ± 0.28 L/h/kg. The fraction of compound excreted unchanged in urine was 0.59 ± 0.13. No glucuronide metabolite was found in the urine. The steady-state volume of distribution was 1.12 ± 0.26 L/kg indicating intracellular distribution of the compound. The fraction of L-FMAU bound to plasma proteins was approximately 15% and was independent of nucleoside concentration. Conclusions. The pharmacokinetics of L-FMAU in rats were independent of dose over the dosage range of 10 to 50 mg/kg.

    Notes: Abstract Zeolite A is a synthetic zeolite which may have therapeutic utility in osteoporotic individuals because of its ability to stimulate bone formation. A study of Zeolite A (30 mg/kg), sodium aluminosilicate (16 mg/kg), magnesium trisilicate (20 mg/kg), and aluminum hydroxide (675 mg) was designed in beagle dogs. The purpose of this study was to compare the oral bioavailability of silicon and aluminum from Zeolite A, sodium aluminosilicate, magnesium trisilicate, and aluminum hydroxide in dogs. Twelve female dogs received each compound as a single dose separated by one week in a randomized, 4-way, crossover design. Plasma samples were drawn at time 0 and for 24 hours after dosing. The concentrations of silicon and aluminum were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption. The mean plasma silicon AUC values (±S.D.) were 9.5 ± 4.5, 7.7 ± 1.6, 8.8 ± 3.0, 6.1 ± 1.9 mg · hr/L and the mean plasma silicon Cmax values (±S.D.) were 1.07 ± 1.06, 0.67 ± 0.27, 0.75 ± 0.31, 0.44 ± 0.17 mg/L for Zeolite A, sodium aluminosilicate, magnesium trisilicate, and aluminum hydroxide respectively. Although mean silicon AUC and Cmax values were elevated when compared to baseline after administration of the silicon containing compounds, only the AUC from Zeolite A reached statistical significance (p = 0.041). The mean plasma silicon Tmaxvalues (±S.D.) were 7.9 ± 6.4, 5.8 ± 4.6, 6.9 ± 6.3 and 8.5 ± 3.4 hrs for Zeolite A, sodium aluminosilicate, magnesium trisilicate and aluminum hydroxide respectively. These values were not statistically different. The mean plasma aluminum AUC values for Zeolite A, sodium aluminosilicate, magnesium trisilicate and aluminum hydroxide (±S.D.) were 342 ± 111, 338 ± 167, 315 ± 69, 355 ± 150 µg · hr/L and the mean aluminum Cmax values (±S.D.) were 29 ± 9, 27 ± 14, 24 ± 5 µg/L, 29 ± 11 respectively. The plasma aluminum Tmax values (±S.D.) were 3.5 ± 4.1, 4.2 ± 4.3, 5.7 ± 7.3 and 5.0 ± 4.7 hrs for Zeolite A, sodium aluminosilicate, magnesium trisilicate, and aluminum hydroxide respectively. There was no statistically significant absorption of aluminum from the aluminum containing treatments.

    Notes: Summary In the present study we investigated the relationship between pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of the benzothiazepine-like calcium antagonists, clentiazem and diltiazem. Experiments were carried out in closed-chest anesthetized dogs, instrumented for hemodynamic recording and blood sampling. Clentiazem and diltiazem bolus injections (400 µg/kg) were administered intravenously, and subgroups of animals were sacrificed at 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes Clentiazem and diltiazem plasma and myocardial levels were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Clentiazem elicited a more marked reduction in mean arterial pressure (−17% for clentiazem vs. −12% for diltiazem), along with an attenuation of the expected positive reflex chronotropic response. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that clentiazem had a greater volume of distribution (33±16 l vs. 15±9 l for diltiazem), while the half-life of elimination (t1/2β) was similar (55±21 minutes vs. 59±23 minutes). The kinetic disposition profile of both drugs was analyzed through myocardial/plasma concentration ratios. In the distribution phase (0–15 minutes), this ratio was similar (26±2 for clentiazem vs. 18±5 diltiazem), suggesting that the myocardium was not a preferential site of distribution for either drugs. Data collected within the elimination phase indicate significant myocardial retention for clentiazem; at the end of the study period, the myocardial/plasma concentration ratio was twofold higher for clentiazem. The observed retention of clentiazem in the myocardium may be responsible for attenuation of the baroreflex. Clentiazem increased potency was confirmed by the fact that its hypotensive and cardioinhibitory effects were observed at lower plasma concentrations.

We consider the effects of C-shocks on the composition of molecular clouds, for a range of values of the pre-shock gas density and magnetic induction. The time required to re-establish equilibrium in the post-shock gas depends on the initial conditions and can become very large. The significance of the two known chemical phases of dark clouds and of bistability is considered in this context.

    Notes: Abstract We have assessed the role of diffusion in determining chemical abundances in molecular interface regions. Chemical models have been developed which include the appropriate diffusion terms and that are appropriate to a narrow diffusion region (∼0.01pc) that may exist at the interface between a dark core and a hot, shocked T-Tauri wind. We have assumed pressure balance throughout and have calculated the chemical abundances as functions of time and position through the interface. The results show that significant enhancements of detectable molecules/transitions are expected (e.g. CO J=6→5, OH and CH). Using a realistic value of the diffusion coefficient a diffusive region of dimension 0.01pc may be established within about 104 years. In general it seems likely that diffusion processes are highly significant on these and smaller lengthscales.

Die Verarbeitungstemperatur spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Herstellung der Verbundwerkstoffe. Bei Verarbeitungstemperaturen oberhalb der Bismaleimid-Zersetzungstemperatur zeigte die Bismaleimid-Verbindung einen positiven Effekt. Die chemische Zusammensetzung der modifizierten Verbunde wurde mit den mechanischen Eigenschaften korreliert. Basierend auf ESCA-Analysen werden Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Polymeren und CaCO, diskutiert.
    Notes: The effect of 3-phenylene bismaleimide on the mechanical performance of an inorganic filler-based polypropylene composite was studied. The selection of processing temperature played a significant role in the preparation of such composites. A positive effect of the bismaleimide compound was obtained for a processing temperature above the decomposition temperature of bismaleimide. The chemical composition of the modified composite was correlated to its mechanical strength by experimentation involving a rotatable design.

    Description / Table of Contents: Chemische und mechanische Eigenschaften von Zwischenprodukten der PE-Schrumpfschlauch-Produktion wurden bei unterschiedlichen Compound-Zusammensetzungen (PE, ein aromatisches Amin oder Phenolderivat als Antioxidans und in einigen Fällen ein Flammschutzmittel und/oder eine Elastomerkomponente) untersucht.Während der Herstellung, besonders während der durch Elektronenstrahlung initiierten Vernetzung, nimmt die thermooxidative Stabilität des Materials gegenüber der des compoundierten Granulats ab. Das aromatische Amin scheint bei gleicher Zusammensetzung das wirksamere und strahlungsbeständigere Antioxidans im Vergleich zum Phenolderivat zu sein. Die Oxidationsstabilität der hergestellten Schrumpfschläuche wird nicht von der Qualität des eingesetzten PE-Ausgangsgranulats beeinflußt.Durch die Alterung des Materials ändern sich die mechanischen Eigenschaften geringfügig. Die Elastomerzugabe bewirkt keine Änderung von Zugfestigkeit und Reißdehnung. Die Stabilität des Endprodukts ist bei weitem ausreichend, um den Spannungen, die beim Schrumpfen während des Gebrauchs auftreten, standzuhalten. Die gute Zugfestigkeit des Materials wird durch die Alterung ebenfalls nicht beeinträchtigt.Bei der Extrusion des Granulats tritt keine nennenswerte Änderung des Molekulargewichts bzw. der Molekulargewichtsverteilung auf. Durch die Bestrahlung wird das Material vernetzt und zu mehr als 50% unlöslich, und seine thermooxidativen Eigenschaften ändern sich deutlich gegenüber dem ursprünglichen PE und dem daraus compoundierten Material.
    Notes: Some chemical and mechanical properties of intermediate products obtained in the production of PE heat-shrinkable tubes were studied at different compositions of the material containing PE, antioxidant (aromatic amime or phenol) and, in some cases, flame retardant and/or an elastomer.In the course of the production phase, the thermooxidative stability decreases compared to that of compounded granulate. The greatest decrease is caused by irradiation. The aromatic amine seems to be a more effective antioxidant at similar compositions than the phenol derivative, and it shows a better resistance against irradiation. The oxidative stability of the finished shrinkable tubes is not affected by the quality of commercial granulate (initial polyethylene).Mechanical properties change slightly upon ageing, and the introduction of the elastomer did not alter the tensile strength and elongation at break. The remaining stability of the end product was still high enough to bear the stress of shrinking in use, and the good tensile strength of the material did not decrease upon thermal ageing either.In the extrusion of the granulated compound no significant change in the distribution and average molecular weight took place. Irradiation produced more than 50% insoluble fraction and the thermooxidative properties of the crosslinked sample changed significantly compared to the original PE and to the compound prepared from it.

    Description / Table of Contents: In the present work oxygen index (OI) measurements and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) for a series of polyurethanes based on diols and isocyanate were conducted. It was found that a correlation exists between some of the thermal degradation parameters obtained from TG and OI-values. Analysis of experimental results confirms that the amount of mass loss at 250°C is directly proportional to the OI-value. It was also found that the logarithmic temperatures of maximal decomposition rates are directly proportional to the OI-values.
    Notes: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden für eine Serie von Polyurethanen auf der Basis von Diol und Isocyanat der Sauerstoffindex (SI) gemessen und die thermische Zersetzung mittels thermogravimetrischer Analyse (TG) untersucht. Dabei wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen einigen Parametern der thermischen Zersetzung und den SI-Werten gefunden. Die Auswertung der experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigte, daß die Höhe des Massenverlustes bei 250°C und die SI-Werte direkt proportional zueinander sind. Derselbe Zusammenhang besteht auch zwischen dem Logarithmus der Temperatur bei der maximalen Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit und den SI-Werten.

Thermal stability, resist contrast, exposure parameters and other bleaching characteristics of the photobleachable membranes were investigated. A. commercial i-line photoresist was used to evaluate the contrast ratio of the DZS-1/PVA CEL layer. The contrast ratio obtained in this investigation is 1.67.

    Description / Table of Contents: Methylen-4,4′-diphenyldiisocyanat und zwei unterschiedliche Bisoxazoline wurden für Kopplungsreaktionen in mit Carboxygruppen terminierten flüssigkristallinen Poly(ethylenterephthalat-co-oxybenzoat)en eingesetzt. Um definierte Bedingungen zu gewährleisten, erfolgte die Synthese von Copolyestern mit unterschiedlichen Carboxygruppenkonzentrationen. Die Bestimmung des Carboxygruppengehalts wird beschrieben.Es erfolgt ein Vergleich des Kopplungsverhaltens beider Arten von Kettenverlängerern. Es konnte nachgewiesen werde, daß die Bisoxazoline bedeutend schneller reagieren als das Diisocyanat. Durch einen geringen Überschuß and Bisoxazolin in der Reaktionsmischung konnte einer thermischen Schädigung vorgebeugt werden. Abhängig von der Menge an zugegebenem Koppler wurden bei den modifizierten Copolyestern Oxazolinendgruppen beobachtet. Außerdem werden mögliche Vernetzungsreaktionen und die thermische Stabilität diskutiert.
    Notes: Methylene-4,4′-diphenyldiisocyanate and two different bisoxazolines were used for coupling reactions in carboxy-terminated liquid crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-oxybenzoate). In order to guarantee defined conditions, copolyesters with different carboxylic group concentrations were synthesized. The determination of the carboxylic group content is described.The coupling behaviour of both types of chain extenders has been compared. It was evidenced that the bisoxazolines reacted significantly faster than the diisocyanate. A slight excess of bisoxazoline in the reaction mixture prevented thermomechanical degradation. Depending on the amount of coupling agent added, an oxazoline termination of the copolyester was observed. Additionally, probable crosslinking reactions and the thermal stability have been discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von 3-Phenylenbismaleimid auf die Werkstoffeigenschaften von mit Talkum und Zeolith gefüllten Polypropylen-Verbundstoffen wurde untersucht. Durch geeignete Planung des Aufbaus kann die Produkteigenschaft optimiert werden. Die Kapazität zur Füllstoffaufnahme schwankt bei Polypropylen je nach Art des Füllstoffs. Ein hochbelastbarer Verbundstoff kann aus einem geeignet modifizierten, mit Zeolith gefüllten Polypropylen hergestellt werden, auch wenn der Füllstoff in der Verbundmatrix dominiert. Als Ursache dieser Verstärkung wird eine verbesserte Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Polymeren und dem Füllstoff angenommen.
    Notes: The effect of 3-phenylene bismaleimide as a modifier for talc and zeolite-filled polypropylene composites has been studied. The usefulness of the experimental design to assure best product properties has also been illustrated. Polypropylene shows a variable degree of filling capacity depending on the type of filler. A high-strength composite can be prepared with suitably modified zeolite-filled polypropylene even if filler is the dominant phase in the composite matrix. An improved interfacial interaction between polypropylene and filler is proposed to be the reason for this improvement of strength.

    Notes: Fracture toughness values of phenolphthalein poly(ether ketone) (PEK-C) at 190°C were determined by two different methods, i.e. the conventional crack growth method and the crack stress whitening zone method, which show consistent results. This indicates that the crack stress whitening zone method can be used to determine the crack initiation of some polymers for which the blunting line concept is unsuitable.

Der Polymerisationsumsatz war unabhängig von den verwendeten Ultraschallbedingungen (800 W, 35 kHz). Depolymerisationsversuche mit Ultraschall bei 20°C zeigten, daß Kettenabbruch im wesentlichen durch Disproportionierung stattfindet; dabei werden Molekulargewichte nicht unter ca. 500000 erreicht.
    Notes: The effect of ultrasound in ethyl methacrylate polymerization and depolymerization and the chain termination mechanism for ethyl methacrylate have been studied. Polymerization conversion at 60°C did not depend on energy (80 W) and frequency (35 kHz) of ultrasound applied. In ultrasound depolymerization studies at 20°C the governing termination mechanism was found to be disproportionation and the lower limiting molecular weight was Mn = 500 000.

    Description / Table of Contents: The copolymerization of acrylonitrile with maleic anhydride was investigated to synthesize acylic reactive polymers for manufacture of membranes that serve as support for covalent enzyme immobilization. The free-radical copolymer synthesis was carried out in solution (N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAC), γ-butyrolactone, ethylene carbonate), by precipitation polymerization (dioxane) as well as bulk polymerization. The polymers were characterized using IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis, NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, viscosity measurements, osmometry and potentiometry.The kinetic parameters were followed by dilatometric measurements up to high conversions. The anhydride content in the monomer mixtures showed a significant influence on the rate of polymerization and the molecular weight. With raised concentration of anhydride the polymerization rate and molecular weights decreased. Film forming polymers (M̄η 〉 30 000 g/mol) can be obtained by all copolymerization procedures with exception of solution polymerization in DMF and DMAC, respectively. The content of maleic anhydride in the membrane polymers did not exceed 5 mol-%, even though the maleic anhydride content in the monomer mixtures was raised up to the equimolar mixture. Nevertheless, such low maleic anhydride content of prepared membranes is enough for successful enzyme immobilization with amyloglucosidase (copolymer was prepared in γ-butyrolactone, M̄η = 49 000 g/mol, cPMSA = 0,3 mol-%).
    Notes: Die Copolymerisation des Acrylnitrils mit Maleinsäureanhydrid (MSA) wurde mit dem Ziel untersucht, acylfunktionalisierte Reaktivpolymere mit Filmbildungseigenschaften herzustellen, um diese in der Anwendung als Membran für kovalente Enzymfixierungen zu nutzen. Die radikalinitiierte Synthese der Copolymeren wurde in Lösung (Dimethylformamid (DMF), Dimethylacetamid (DMAC), γ-Butyrolacton, Ethylencarbonat), durch Fällungscopolymerisation (Dioxan) sowie in Substanz durchgeführt.Die Polymercharakterisierung erfolgte durch IR-Spektroskopie, Elementaranalyse, Kernresonanzspektroskopie, Gelpermeationschromatographie, Viskosimetrie, Osmometrie und Potentiometrie.Die Kinetik wurde durch dilatometrische Untersuchungen bis zu hohen Umsätzen verfolgt. Danach weist der Anhydridgehalt im Monomergemisch einen signifikanten Einfluß auf die Bruttopolymerisationsgeschwindigkeit und die Molmasse der Polymeren auf. Mit steigendem Anhydridanteil wird die Bruttopolymerisationsgeschwindigkeit herabgesetzt und eine Verringerung der Molmasse herbeigeführt. Die Copolymerisation von Acrylnitril und Maleinsäureanhydrid führt mit Ausnahme der Lösungspolymerisation in DMF bzw. DMAC zu Polymeren mit Molmassen oberhalb 30 000 g/mol, was ihre Anwendung als Membran ermöglicht. Die Einbaurate an Maleinsäureanhydrid in den Membranpolymeren ist bis einschließlich einer äquimolaren Zusammensetzung des Monomergemischs nicht größer als 5 mol-%. Derartig niedrige MSA-Reaktivgruppenanteile erweisen sich jedoch als ausreichend, um an einer aus einem Lösungspolymerisat (γ-Butyrolacton, M̄η = 49 000 g/mol, cPMSA = 0,3 mol-%) formierten Membran eine Enzymimmobilisierung mit Amyloglucosidase nachzuweisen.

Der photochemische Polymerabbau wurde mittels GPC untersucht.
    Notes: The synthesis of an aryl alkyl azo diisocyanate and a model azo urea is described. From the azo diisocyanate new azo polyureas were created by interfacial polyaddition. Molecular weights Mn in the range of 6000 to 9000 were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Photolysis and thermolysis of both, model compounds and polymers, were studied by UV-spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively, and the results were compared with those of similar azo amides. Photochemical polymer degradation was followed by GPC.

    Description / Table of Contents: Thermotrop flüssigkristalline Copolyester aus Vanillinsäure (V), 4-Hydroxybenzoesäure (B) und Polyethylenterephthalat (E) wurden mittels 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie und Gelpermeationschromatographie (GPC) untersucht. Die neun möglichen Diaden konnten detektiert und zugeordnet werden. Die Abfolge der Grundeinheiten der V/B/E-Copolyester ändert sich mit zunehmendem B-Anteil von statistischer Verteilung zur Blockbildung und ist außerdem geringfügig von der Katalysatorkonzentration und der Polykondensationsdauer abhängig. Die GPC-Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die V/B/E-Copolyester engere Molekulargewichtsverteilungen aufweisen als die B/E-Copolyester. Mit von 0 bis 5 mol-% steigendem V-Anteil verengt sich die Molekulargewichtsverteilung. Die Gelpermeationschromatogramme der meisten V/B/E-Copolyester weisen im Unterschied zu den Einzelsignalen der B/E-Copolyester Dublett-Peaks auf.
    Notes: Thermotropic liquid-crystalline copolyesters made from vanillic acid (V), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (B) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (E) were examined by 1H-NMR and GPC investigations. Nine possible diads could be identified and assigned. The sequence distribution of V/B/E copolyesters tends to change from random to block with an increase of B content in the copolyesters. The sequence distribution also varies slightly with catalyst concentration and polycondensation time. GPC results suggest that the V/B/E copolyesters have narrower molecular weight distribution (MWD) than B/E copolyesters. The MWD of the copolyesters narrows gradually with increasing V content from zero to 5 mol-%. The GPC chromatograms of the most V/B/E copolyesters show double peaks, which is different from the single peak of the GPC chromatograms of the B/E copolyesters.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Strahlungsbeständigkeit von vorbestrahltem Polypropylen mit 2,5 Gew.-% Ethylenanteil wurde mitr einem Copolymeren aus Polypropylen und einem nukleierenden Agens im Hinblick auf die Strahlungssterilisation von medizinischen Geräten verglichen. Die Transparenz des Propylen-Ethylen-Copolymeren wurde durch die Vorbehandlung verbessert. Im Vergleich mit der ebenfalls verbesserten Transparenz des Copolymeren aus Polypropylen und dem nukleierenden Agens wurde durch die Vorbestrahlung die Strahlungsbeständigkeit während der Bestrahlung und bei der Lagerung des bestrahlten Materials verbessert. Dies wird auf die geringere Kristallinität des vorbestrahlten Polypropylens aufgrund von bei der Bestrahlung gebildeten Verzweigungen zurückgeführt.
    Notes: The radiation stability of the pre-irradiated copolymer of polypropylene containing 2.5 wt.-% ethylene units is compared with a copolymer of polypropylene with a nucleating agent with regard to radiation sterilization of medical devices. It is found that transparency property of the propylene-ethylene copolymer is improved through pre-irradiation processes. This finding was compared with the co-polypropylene with nucleating agent which also gives a better transparency property. In comparison, it is found that pre-irradiated copolymer exhibits better radiation stability during irradiation and during storage after irradiation. The radiation stability of the pre-irradiated copolymer is due to its lower crystallinity caused by the formation of branches during the pre-irradiation process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polydiaryldiazosulfide wurden durch Grenzflächenpolykondensation aus aromatischen Bisdiazoniumionen und Benzol-1,3-dithiol erhalten. Auf diese Weise wurden Molekulargewichte Mn von 3400 bis 11700 erreicht (GPC).Die neue Polymerklasse zeichnet sich durch hohe Photolabilität und relativ geringe Thermostabilität aus. Mittels UV-Spektroskopie wurde die Photolyse von Modellver-bindungen und Polymeren verfolgt, wobei in nahezu allen Fällen ein Zerfall 1. Ordnung beobachtet wurde. Der photochemische Kettenabbau konnte durch GPC-Untersuchungen verfolgt werden. Die thermische Stabilität der polymeren Diazosulfide wurde durch DSC-Messungen untersucht.
    Notes: Poly(diaryl diazosulfide)s were synthesized from aromatic bisdiazonium ions and benzene-1,3-dithiol via interfacial polycondensation. Number-average molecular weights Mn in the range of 3400 to 11700 were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).The new polymer class is distinguished by high photosensitivity and low thermostability. First order kinetics during photolysis of nearly all polymers and model compounds under investigation was observed by means of UV spectroscopy. Polymer degradation upon irradiation was verified by GPC measurements. Thermal decay was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

    Description / Table of Contents: Three different titration methods were proved with respect to accuracy, reproducibility and handling for the determination of maleic anhydride (MSA) content in acrylonitrile (AN) copolymers in form of poly(AN-co-MSA) and poly(AN-co-styrene-co-MSA). The comparison comprises (i) the combined method A/H characterized by the reaction of anhydride groups (AG) with aniline and titration of the formed monoacid with methanolic KOH (A) and the complete hydrolysis of AG and titration of acid groups (SG) with aqueous NaOH (H), (ii) method B based on the conversion of AG with n-butylamine (BA) and back-titration of unreacted amine with HClO4 in glacial acetic acid and (iii) method C consisting of the reaction of AG with p-chloroaniline (pCA) followed by Cl-determination after the Schöniger-decomposition. Whereas all mentioned methods are suitable for the determination of AG in the presence of initial SG, the combination of A/H additionally allows the simultaneous determination of AG and SG. In comparison with the other methods the combination of A/H is to be favoured due to the possibility to obtain additional information about SG and because of the better results in accuracy, reproducibility and handling. By means of FTIR spectroscopy the content of AG and SG was estimated qualitatively and a correlation between the spectroscopic and potentiometric data of AG was discovered.
    Notes: Zur Bestimmung des Maleinsäreanhydrid(MSA)-Gehaltes in Acrylnitril(AN)-Copolymeren des Typs Poly(AN-co-MSA) bzw. Poly(AN-co-Styrol-co-MSA) wurden drei verschiedene Titrationsmethoden hinsichtlich ihrer Richtigkeit, Reproduzierbarkeit sowie ihres Zeitaufwandes geprüft. Miteinander verglichen wurden (i) eine Methodenkombination A/H bestehend aus dem Teilschritt A, einer Umsetzung der Anhydridgruppen (AG) mit Anilin einschließlich der Titration der Monosäuregruppen mit methanolischer KOH, und dem Teilschritt H, einer vollständigen Hydrolyse der AG und Titration der Säuregruppen (SG) mit wäßriger NaOH, (ii) Methode B basierend auf der Reaktion der AG mit n-Butylamin (BA) und der Rücktitration des nicht umgesetzten Amins mit Perchlorsäure (HClO4) in Eisessig und (iii) Methode C, beruhend auf der Umsetzung der AG mit p-Chloranilin (pCA) und nachfolgender Chlorbestimmung durch Schöniger-Aufschluß. Während sich alle genannten Methoden prinzipiell für die AG-Bestimmung in Gegenwart initialer SG empfehlen, ist darüber hinaus über A/H eine simultane Bestimmung von AG und SG möglich. Wegen dieses zusätzlichen Informationsgewinns, ihrer besseren Reproduzierbarkeit, der erhöhten Richtigkeit sowie des geringeren zeitlichen und apparativen Aufwandes ist die Kombination A/H zu favorisieren. Mit Hilfe der FTIR-Spektroskopie wurde der Gehalt an AG und SG qualitativ verfolgt und eine Korrelation zwischen den Bandenintensitäten der AG und den potentiometrisch erhaltenen Werten gefunden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Propen und 1-Octen wurden mit dem syndiospezifischen Metallocen-Katalysator Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO copolymerisiert. Es wurde ein hoher, statistischer Octeneinbau beobachtet. Niedrige Octenkonzentrationen beeinflußten die Aktivität des Katalysators nur wenig; Molekulargewicht, Kristallinität, E-Modul und Glastemperatur wurden dagegen mit ansteigendem Octengehalt erniedrigt. Blends aus ataktischem Oligopropen und syndiotaktischem Polypropen bzw. Poly(propen-co-octen) wurden aus einer Toluol-Lösung hergestellt. Diese Lösungsblends wurden mit einem Reaktorblend verglichen, der mit einem Hybrid-Katalysator bestehend aus einer Mischung von syndiospezifischem Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO und unspezifischem Cp2ZrCl2/MAO hergestellt wurde. Das ataktische Oligopropen wirkte als Weichmacher, der E-Modul und Glastemperatur der Blends erniedrigte.
    Notes: Propene and 1-octene were copolymerized with the syndiospecific homogeneous metallocene catalyst Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO. Large amounts of octene were incorporated randomly. While catalyst activity was not affected markedly by low octene content, molecular weight, crystallinity, Young's modulus, and glass transition temperature were reduced with increasing octene content. Blends of atactic oligopropene with syndiotactic polypropene and poly(propene-co-octene) were prepared from toluene solution and compared with a reactor blend prepared with a hybrid catalyst containing a mixture of syndiospecific Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO and non-specific Cp2ZrCl2/MAO. Atactic oligopropene acted as plasticizer reducing Young's modulus and glass transition temperature of the blends.
