    Notes: Summary It is suggested that in Duchenne muscular dystrophy the absence of dystrophin, which is probably a cytoskeletal protein underlying the sarcolemma, causes changes in stretch-activated cation channels rather than direct mechanical tearing of the surface membrane.

    Notes: Summary Morphological evidence for probable Ca2+ storage in the vesicular elements of the rat spermatid chromatoid body is documented using the K-pyroantimonate method, combined with EDTA chelation. Some vesicles are related to the microtubules associated with the chromatoid body. A possible involvement of Ca2+ in the intracellular movement and/or structural integrity of the chromatoid body is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A yeast-mycelium (Y-M) transition of Candida albicans (3153A) was induced by 1.5 mM CaCl2 · 2H2O in defined liquid medium, pH 7, at 25 °C. Germ tube formation was detected after approximately 8 h and peaks of maximum germination occurred at approximately 20 h in all experimental treatments. Non-toxic concentrations of the calmodulin inhibitor R24571 almost completely suppressed germ tube formation whereas trifluoperazine (TFP) and the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 were only about half as effective. Further Ca2+ addition failed to reverse the inhibitory effect of R24571 and induced only about 10% of the cells inhibited by TFP or A23187 to germinate.

    Notes: Summary In an open trial, the pharmacokinetics of ramipril and its active metabolite ramiprilat were studied in 25 hypertensive patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency given 5 mg ramipril p.o. for 14 days. Ramipril was rapidly absorbed and reached a peak concentration after 1–2 h. Cmax was greater in patients with severe renal insufficiency, which might indicate a reduced renal elimination rate, although, the rapid decline of the concentration-time curve for ramipril was almost independent of renal function. The mean initial apparent half-lives on Days 1 and 12, respectively, were 2.8 and 3.4 h (Group I: creatinine clearance 5–15 ml/min), 1.8 and 2.3 h (Group II: creatinine clearance 15–40 ml/min), and 1.9 and 1.9 h (Group III: creatinine clearance 40–80 ml/min). No accumulation was observed after multiple dosing. In contrast, the kinetics of its active acid metabolite ramiprilat was significantly influenced by renal function. The mean times to the peak plasma concentration were 5.7 h in Group I, 4.4 h in Group II and 3.8 h in Group III. The initial decline in plasma ramiprilat was dependent upon renal function; the mean initial apparent half-lives (Days 1 and 12, respectively) were 16.0 and 14.8 h (Group I), 10.1 and 9.5 h (Group II) and 10.6 and 8.0 h (Group III). Mean trough concentrations and absolute accumulation also increased with worsening renal function, and the renal clearance of ramiprilat was significantly correlated with the creatinine clearance. The subsequent long terminal phase at low plasma ramiprilat concentrations represented slow dissociation of the ACE-inhibitor complex. The study indicates that in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min) smaller doses of ramipril are required than in patients with normal or borderline renal function.

    Notes: Summary The renal and hormonal effects of the α1-adrenoceptor blocker bunazosin were examined in 6 patients with essential hypertension. Oral bunazosin for 4 to 12 weeks significantly decreased mean blood pressure by 10%, increased effective renal blood flow and creatinine clearance by 34% and 37%, respectively, the plasma norepinephrine concentration was elevated by 60%, and the plasma atrial natriuretic peptide level was lowered by 22%. The plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were unchanged. Thus, a moderate reduction in blood pressure was produced by bunazosin treatment while maintaining renal perfusion.

    Notes: Summary A study has been performed in thirteen patients with essential hypertension, WHO Class I–II, and a diastolic blood pressure ≥95 mm Hg, on beta-blocker (metoprolol or atenolol) monotherapy, who were also given felodipine 10 mg b.d. for 28 days. The acute and steady state blood pressure response at rest and during exercise, and the pharmacokinetics of felodipine and metoprolol, were examined. Felodipine in combination with the beta-blocker reduced the systolic and diastolic blood pressures acutely and at steady-state. The duration of the effect was longer at steady-state. There was a significant correlation between the plasma concentration of felodipine and the change in blood pressure. The increase in systolic blood pressure during exercise was of the same magnitude before and after felodipine administration. No change in resting supine heart rate was found after the administration of felodipine. There were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of felodipine during long-term treatment, except for the trough plasma concentration, which was increased at steady-state, even though cumulation of felodipine and its metabolite did not occur. There was a significant decrease in the maximal plasma concentration and AUC of metoprolol after 28 days of treatment with felodipine, but its elimination half-life was not changed. The adverse reactions reported during this study were those generally seen after dihydropyridines and, except for two patients who were withdrawn after the first study day, the effects were well tolerated.

    Notes: Summary The antihypertensive efficacy both of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and thiazide diuretics has been claimed to be influenced by plasma renin activity, which declines with age and is low in blacks. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, double-dummy, randomized, parallel-group preliminary study, the antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability of the ACE inhibitor enalapril (20 mg day−1) and hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg day−1) were evaluated and compared for 4 weeks in 20 African patients with essential hypertension. The two groups had similar baseline clinical features and serum Na+ and K+ levels. Hydrochlorothiazide caused a significant and sustained fall in erect blood pressure with a reflex tachycardia. Enalapril exerted only a modest antihypertensive action, but significantly reduced erect heart rate. Direct comparison of hydrochlorothiazide — and enalapril — induced hypotension suggested a greater fall in subjects on the thiazide. The 95% confidence limits for the thiazide-enalapril difference in antihypertensive action at the end of the study was 39.5 to −7.5 mm Hg systolic and 22.0 to −6.6 mm Hg diastolic. The maximal blood pressure fall after hydrochlorothiazide was positively correlated with age (r=0.50;p〈0.05), whilst that of enalapril was inversely related age to (r=−0.57,p〈0.05). The results are compatible with the notion that ACE inhibitor monotherapy may be less effective than thiazide diuretic treatment in African and black patients with essential hypertension. The findings also support the concept that age and racial factors may influence the response to antihypertensive treatment.

    Notes: Summary The effects of acute calcium entry blockade by isradipine (IS) and placebo (P) on the haemodynamic and humoral responses to angiotensin II (A II) have been compared in two groups of 9 patients with essential hypertension. During 4 sequential periods each of 20 min, an i.v. infusion of A II 0, 2, 4 and 8 ng · kg−1 · min−1 was given before (control) and 30 min after the oral administration either of IS or P. After IS, both the blood pressure and the angiotensin II-induced pressor effect were significantly reduced. Isradipine increased the heart rate and this cardio-acceleration was potentiated by A II. In contrast, when A II was infused in the absence of IS, heart rate tended to decrease. IS stimulated plasma renin activity and reduced plasma aldosterone. However, it did not affect either the inhibition of plasma renin activity or the rise in plasma aldosterone in response to A II. In conclusion, acute calcium entry blockade in patients with essential hypertension reduces the pressor response to A II, but not the A II-induced inhibition of renin and increase in plasma aldosterone.

    Notes: Summary To assess the duration of the antihypertensive effect of the dihydropiridine calcium antagonist felodipine in conventional (C-F) and slow-release (ER-F) formulations, 12 patients with essential hypertension underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at the end of a 2-week treatment period with C-F 5 mg b.d., ER-F 10 mg once daily (o.d.) and placebo. C-F, ER-F and placebo were given in a double-blind 3×3 latin square design 4 times replicated. There was no systematic change in the ABP profile over the three study periods regardless of the treatment. In comparison to placebo, the mean 24-h systolic and diastolic blood pressures showed a significant and similar reduction after both formulations of F. Compared to placebo, C-F and ER-F induced a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure for 15 and 21 h, respectively, and of diastolic blood pressure for 16 and 21 h, respectively. Three patients complained of headache (mild in 2, moderately severe in 1), and two patients of nocturia, with either formulation of F.

    Notes: Summary Certain acute and chronic metabolic effects of nicardipine have been studied in 20 patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDD). An intravenous glucose tolerance test (i.v. GTT, glucose 0.33 g/kg as a bolus) and the corresponding insulin response were assessed at the end of a 4 week placebo period, after the first dose and on administration for 12 weeks of nicardipine 20 mg t.i.d. The glucose and insulin responses to the i.v. GTT, evaluated as incremental AUCs, did not change significantly (glucose 30.5 mg/dl·90 min on placebo, 33.1 mg/dl·90 min acutely and 31.4 mg/dl·90 min on chronic administration of nicardipine; insulin 2.08 µU/ml·90 min on placebo, 1.87 µU/ml·90 min acutely and 1.93 µU/ml·90 min after chronic nicardipine). Glucose removal rate (KG) following the i.v. GTT was 0.73%/min on placebo 0.75%/min on acute administration and 0.8%. min−1 with chronic nicardipine. Active treatment produced a significant reduction of blood pressure (from 187/96 mm Hg on placebo to 166/89 mm Hg acutely and 152/83 mm Hg after 12 weeks of nicardipine treatment). It is concluded that the calcium antagonist nicardipine was an effective antihypertensive drug, and that it did not cause deterioration of metabolic control in hypertensive patients with NIDD.

    Notes: Summary Twelve patients with essential hypertension receiving captopril monotherapy or captopril in conjunction with a diuretic had their 24-h blood pressure profiles monitored using an automatic, non-invasive ambulatory method. The study examined the efficacy of once a day versus twice a day administration of the ACE inhibitor in controlling blood pressure. Six untreated subjects with borderline hypertension were also studied using the same monitoring equipment and with the same frequency, to act as controls because of the possibility of repeated use of the device causing a ‘familiarisation’ effect. The results obtained indicated that if anything, the once daily dosing produced marginally better blood pressure values. The amplitude of the diurnal blood pressure variation was reduced on a ‘second-wearing’ of the monitoring equipment suggesting some degree of familiarisation with the apparatus.

    Notes: Summary The effect of short- and long-term administration of carteolol on renal function has been examined in healthy subjects and in hypertensive patients with or without renal failure. In healthy subjects neither a single dose of 10 mg carteolol nor continuous administration of 20 mg/day for 7 days had any effect on creatinine clearance and renal blood flow. In all subjects the clearance rate of carteolol was about 400 ml/min and its fractional excretion of carteolol exceeded 300%, suggesting that the drug is secreted actively from renal tubules. Twenty-three hypertensive patients with or without renal dysfunction were given carteolol 10 to 20 mg/day for more than 50 weeks in addition to their standard antihypertensive regimens, which were left changed. Laboratory results were compared with the mean values of 50 weeks before and after the addition of carteolol, and none, including plasma creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and electrolytes, were significantly changed. Neither the estimated glomerular filtration rate nor the effect of the drug on blood pressure changed significantly during this prolonged treatment. It is concluded that carteolol had no effect on renal function in healthy subjects and in hypertensive patients with or without renal failure.

    Notes: Summary Co-dergocrine has recently been demonstrated acutely to lower plasma norepinephrine (NE) and blood pressure (BP) in patients with essential hypertension, and similar results have been obtained during chronic administration of co-dergocrine to healthy men. The present study investigated the effect of 3 weeks of treatment with co-dergocrine 4 mg/day on BP, plasma catecholamines, certain other BP-regulating factors and serum lipoproteins in patients with essential hypertension. Compared to placebo conditions, co-dergocrine decreased supine BP and heart rate by −7% and the upright plasma NE level by −24%. Supine plasma NE also fell (−24%). Total cholesterol and the LDL + VLDL-cholesterol lipoprotein fraction were lowered by −6%. No significant change was observed in plasma renin activity, angiotensin II, aldosterone and epinephrine levels, whole blood and plasma volume, exchangeable sodium, and the cardiovascular responsiveness to NE, angiotensin II and isoproterenol. The findings suggest that in patients with essential hypertension, chronic treatment with co-dergocrine may slightly decrease sympathetic outflow and, at least in the short-term, lower the potentially atherogenic serum LDL + VLDL − cholesterol fraction.

    Notes: Summary To evaluate the potential therapeutic value of calcium antagonists in hypertension associated with impaired renal function, blood pressure (BP), certain regulatory factors, and metabolic correlates of cardiovascular risk have been assessed in 15 patients with mild to marked chronic renal failure before and after 6 weeks of therapy with nitrendipine. Compared to placebo, nitrendipine (mean final dose 55 mg/day) decreased supine BP from 173/102 to 146/81 mm Hg and upright BP from 170/105 to 145/86 mm Hg. Heart rate, body weight (+0.8 kg) and exchangeable sodium (+176 mmol, not significant) were minimally increased, and plasma and whole blood volume, plasma angiotensin II and creatinine concentrations, and urinary electrolyte and creatinine excretion were not significantly changed. Nitrendipine increased uric acid excretion and lowered plasma uric acid by 24%; glucose, insulin, serum total lipids, and lipoprotein fractions were unchanged.

    Notes: Summary The effects on renal hemodynamics and salt-water handling of equipotent doses of the cardioselective β-blocker metoprolol (M, 100 mg) and of the non-selective (intrinsic sympathetic activity) β-antagonist pindolol (P, 10 mg) were compared in 30 WHO Grade 1–2 hypertensive men. M lowered pulse rate more than P. Systolic pressure was equally reduced by both agents, and diastolic and mean pressures were decreased only after P. Glomerular filtration rate was not significantly altered by either antagonist, and renal blood flow decreased by approximately 11% both after M and P. Renal vascular resistance was unchanged after P, and was increased by 10% after M. It is concluded that, like the effects on central haemodynamics, ISA is more important in the renal response to β-adrenoceptor blockade than is β-receptor selectivity.

    Notes: Summary This is the first long-term study of pindolol in a population-based sample of men with newly diagnosed hypertension. Eighty-two patients, with a diastolic pressure of 100 mm Hg or more, were identified after screening 6000 men. Many patients were overweight. 82 population controls, matched by sex, age and body mass index, were also recruited. Fourty-eight per cent of the patients and 25% of the controls had a family history of hypertension. Serum triglyceride and urate values were higher in patients than controls at the baseline investigation. Seventy-four patients were followed for 1 year. The dose of pindolol averaged 7.7 mg once daily after 1 year. The diastolic blood pressure was reduced by 13.4 mm Hg. The target pressure of 95 mm Hg or less was achieved in 89% of the patients. The HDL-cholesterol concentration was normal and did not change, whereas the LDL-cholesterol concentration decreased by 0.15 mmol · l−1 during treatment. The total triglyceride values increased transiently up to 6 months, but no significant increase was seen after one year. It is concluded that pindolol had no adverse effect on serum cholesterol and its HDL- and LDL-fractions during 1 year of treatment.

    Notes: Summary The magnitude and duration of the anti-hypertensive effect of slow-release nicardipine (SR-Nicardipine) have been compared with placebo in 36 uncomplicated essential hypertensives (diastolic BP 95 to 115 mm Hg after 1-month placebo washout). According to a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design they received SR-Nicardipine 40 mg b.d. and placebo for 1 month. At the end of each treatment period, blood pressure and heart rate were measured 12 h after the evening dose and 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after the morning dose. SR-Nicardipine significantly reduced systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure at each time after dosing. The absolute decrements peaked 4 h after dosing (−18.3 and −11.7 mm Hg, respectively) and more than 90% of the peak effect persisted 12 h after dosing, both for SBP and DBP. The heart rate was slightly increased by SR-Nicardipine. Adverse effects monitored with a check-list occurred in 31% of patients during SR-Nicardipine treatment and in 28% on placebo. Thus, SR-Nicardipine 40 mg b.d. has a maintained and significant antihypertensive effect lasting up to 12 h in essential hypertension.

    Notes: Summary We studied the incidence of oedema 2 weeks following initation of nifedipine therapy for hypertension in a group of 10 diabetic subjects, and also measured skin blood flow (SBF) with a laser Doppler flowmeter, before and after lowering the foot. SBF with the foot horizontal increased after nifedipine from 0.31V (arbitrary units of flow) to 0.51V (NS). The postural fall in blood flow in dependency was significantly attenuated by nifedipine from 64.4 to 24.0%. Five patients developed ankle oedema. Results were similar in a small group of non-diabetic subjects starting nifedipine. The attenuation of reflex postural vasoconstriction is therefore likely to contribute to development of the oedema associated with starting nifedipine therapy, which should be monitored carefully in diabetic patients.

    Notes: Summary The effects of ketanserin (40 mg p.o.) on blood pressure and brachial haemodynamics (brachial artery diameter, brachial blood velocity and blood flow) have been compared in a double-blind study with those of ritanserin (10 mg p.o.) and placebo. Haemodynamic parameters were measured before and 1 h after treatment. Patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension participated in this study, 6 each on ketanserin, ritanserin and placebo. Placebo significantly reduced heart rate and did not modify the other parameters. Compared to placebo, ketanserin significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure, increased brachial blood velocity and flow, and decreased forearm vascular resistance. Compared to placebo, ritanserin slightly decreased blood pressure and slightly increased blood flow, but neither effect was significant. When blood circulation to the hand was excluded, neither ketanserin nor ritanserin modified the proximal arterial resistance or blood flow. It is concluded that the actions of ketanserin and ritanserin essentially occurred in the distal part of the upper limb, and alpha1-receptor blockade is probably involved.

    Notes: Summary The effect of nisoldipine on renal function after 6 weeks treatment was investigated in hypertensive patients with and without renal impairment. Nisoldipine was well tolerated and an effective antihypertensive agent when administered over a period of 6 weeks. There were no significant changes in glomerular filtration, cardiac output, plasma renin activity or serum biochemistry during nisoldipine administration. Effective renal plasma flow was unaffected by treatment in the patients with normal renal function, but in the patients with renal insufficiency, the value decreased by a mean of 12%. Nisoldipine had no major untoward effects on renal function after 6 weeks administration, but minor changes in renal haemodynamics in the patients with renal insufficiency would suggest that careful monitoring of renal function is indicated in such patients.

    Notes: Summary Cuff blood pressure data has suggested that the calcium channel antagonist nisoldipine has full twenty four hour efficacy. To test this, 24 h ambulatory intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring was performed on 18 untreated hypertensive subjects (12 men, 6 women) (cuff blood pressure 〉150/95 mm Hg) before and after chronic treatment with 10–20 mg oral nisoldipine taken daily at 08.00 h. Twelve patients completed the study, six being withdrawn, four because of side-effects. After baseline intra-arterial monitoring patients were started on 10 mg nisoldipine daily. Response was assessed by cuff pressures taken 24 h after dosing at fortnightly intervals, and if not controlled (〈150/95 or at least 10 mm Hg reduction in diastolic BP) the dose was increased to 20 mg. All patients received at least six weeks' therapy before the second intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring. There was a slight but insignificant reduction in mean daytime heart rate of 3 beats·min−1. Mean significant reduction in daytime systolic and diastolic BP was 19 mm Hg and 13 mm Hg respectively but there was no significant mean night-time reduction. By comparison 8 out of 12 patients were apparently controlled more than 24 h post dose according to cuff pressures. This study suggests that this formulation of nisoldipine does not control blood pressure over a full 24-h period, and emphasises the importance of 24 h ambulatory monitoring in assessing the efficacy of once-daily antihypertensive agents.

    Notes: Abstract Transsarcolemmal calcium movements are closely related to force generation in the heart. It is important to understand the transport pathways that control these movements of calcium across the sarcolemmal membrane. In the normal, beating heart, sodium-calcium exchange appears to be an important mechanism for the extrusion of calcium from the cell. The kinetics of this exchange are dependent upon the characteristics of the cell action potential. Calcium efflux via sodium-calcium exchange may be sufficient to balance calcium entry through calcium channels during the action potential.

    Notes: Abstract Membrane currents and changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) have been recorded that can be attributed to the operation of an electrogenic, voltage-dependent sodium-calcium (Na-Ca) exchanger in mammalian heart cells. Single guinea-pig ventricular myocytes under voltage clamp were perfused internally with the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator, fura-2, and changes in [Ca2+]i and membrane current that resulted from Na-Ca exchange were isolated through the use of various organic channel blockers (verapamil, TTX), impermeant ions (Cs+, Ni2+), and inhibitors of sarcoplasmic reticulum (ryanodine). The I-V relation of Na-Ca exchange was obtained from the Ni2+-sensitive current elicited by ramp repolarization from +90 mV to −80 mV. Ramps were sufficiently rapid that little change in [Ca2+]i occured during the ramp. The (constant) [Ca2+]i during the ramp was varied over the range 100 nM to 1000 nM by varying the amplitude and duration of a pre-pulse to the ramp. The reversal potential of the Ni2+-sensitive ramp current varied linearly with 1n([Ca2+])i. The I-V relations at different [Ca2+]i over the range −60 mV to +140 mV were in reasonable accord with the predictions of a simple, simultaneous scheme of Na-Ca exchange, on the basis that only [Ca2+]i had changed. The relationship between [Ca2+]i and current at a constant membrane voltage was also in accord with this scheme. We suggest that Ca2+-fluxes through the exchanger during the cardiac action potential can be understood quantitatively by considering the binding of Ca2+ to the exchanger during the [Ca2+]i-transient and the effects of membrane voltage on the exchanger.

    Notes: Abstract Recent studies correlating the calcium current with, respectively, the clamp-imposed voltage and the calcium current in intact isolated mammalian cardiac myocytes are reviewed. The major findings are the following: [1] With the exception of one group, all investigators agree that a calcium transient is never observed in the absence of a calcium current. In addition, there is a good correlation between voltage dependence of the calcium current and that of the calcium transient, although this correlation may vary among the cardiac tissues from different animal species. [2] Repolarization clamp pulses from highly positive potentials produce a ‘tail current’ which is associated with a ‘tail calcium transient’. [3] The calcium transient is inhibited when the calcium current is blocked by calcium deprivation or substitution, or by the addition of calcium current antagonists, despite the fact that sarcoplasmic reticulum still contains calcium that can be released by caffeine (with inhibition of this release by ryanodine). These three findings are strongly in favor of a calcium-induced release of calcium and against the hypothesis of charge-movement-coupled release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. [4] The only finding that would be more in favor of the latter hypothesis (although till reconciliable with the former) is that repolarization occurring before the rapid rise of calcium transient is complete curtails the calcium transient. Thus, the possibility that charge movement might somehow regulate calcium-induced release of calcium cannot be excluded.

    Notes: Abstract The contractile response to acidosis is the final product of a number of different changes in the excitation-contraction coupling pathway: (i) Cai increases and subsequently decreases during acidosis; (ii) the action potential becomes longer; (iii) the sensitivity of the contractile proteins to Ca2+ decreases. The increase of Cai and the lengthening of the action potential may help to maintain contractile function, although this advantage may be offset if spontaneous Ca2− release from the s.r. occurs, secondary to the increase of Cai. The recovery of force shown in figure 1 occurs at a time when the calcium transient is decreasing, and therefore represents an increasing sensitivity of the contractile proteins to Cai, probably due to a recovery of intracellular pH(6), although it is also possible that a disappearance of spontaneous Ca2+ releases from the s.r. may be contributing [2].

    Notes: Abstract The possible contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and release to contractile phenomena has been investigated. Two intracellular fractions of Ca2+ sequestration can be identified in cardiac myocytes, one ascribed to mitochondria. Two modes of Ca2+ transport exist within the mitochondrial fraction, one dependent upon mitochondrial respiration and the other upon extramitochondrial [Na+]. Experiments with trabeculae show that under appropriate conditions, the rate of relaxation and the amount of tension developed is dependent on these two modes of Ca2+ transport. A model is presented quantifying the contribution of the mitochondria to relaxation.

    Notes: Abstract The role of Ca2+ in the initiation and maintenance of contraction has been extensively studies. Many of these studies have focused on how Ca2+ influx and efflux affect cytoplasmic Ca2+ (Cai) and, therefore, contraction in cardiac muscle. However, it has recently become apparent that Cai itself may play a major role in the control of Ca2+ influx and efflux from cardiac muscle. Here we review current ideas on the mechanisms underlying Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiac muscle, with specific attention to how Cai may control Ca2+ influx, both under normal and pathological conditions.

    Notes: Summary Mitochondria isolated from the livers of rats administered with sodium meta-, ortho-, or polyvanadate, but not vanadyl sulphate, exhibited enhanced Ca2+ — stimulated respiration and uptake of calcium. These effects were shown also by mitochondria isolated from livers perfused with polyvanadate. The concentration of acid-soluble calcium decreased significantly in the mitochondrial fraction on vanadate treatment, while that in the cytosol showed a corresponding increase. Phenoxybenzamine, an antagonist to a-adrenergic receptors, effectively inhibited vanadate-induced Ca2+ mobilization, but surgical sympathectomy was without effect. This is the first demonstration of vanadate mimicking α-adrenergic agonists in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract ATP is not required for exocytosis from permeabilised mast cells, and therefore there is no direct role for protein phosphorylation in the late stages of the activation pathway. We have measured the timecourse of exocytosis from permeabilised cells triggered to release hexosaminidase following addition of Ca2+ to cells equilibrated for 2 min with GTP-γ-S. If ATP is included at the time of permeabilisation, then exocytosis commences after a delay, the duration of which depends on the square root of the product [Ca2+][GTP-γ-S], and which may extend to beyond 3 min. When ATP is excluded then the maximal rate of exocytosis is established within 3 secs of completing the effector combination. These results suggest that the achievement of a new steady-state, induced by Ca2+ and GTP-γ-S, and required for exocytosis is inhibited by ATP. From this we conclude that dephosphorylation of an unknown regulator protein may comprise a step in the exocytotic pathway.

    Notes: Abstract Bradykinin, angiotensin II and a mascarnic agonist, acetyl-B-methacholine (methacholine) were all found to elict catecholamine release from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Bradykinin was the most potent of these secretagogues and methacholine the weakest, with angiotenin II intermediate in efficacy. All three secretagogues were much less effective than nicotinic stimulation. The three secretagogues all produced a rise in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), measured with the fluorescent indicator fura2, which was partially independent of external calcium. In the case of bradykinin the full rise in ([Ca2+]i) may involve a component of calcium entry in addition to release of calcium from an internal store. Secretion was also found to be partially independent of external calcium. The different efficacies of the three secretagogues in elicting secretion were correlated with the rise in ([Ca2+]i) produced. The differeing efficacies of the three secretagogues may be due to the extent of release of calcium from an intracellular store which itself is less effective in eliciting secretion than a rise in [Ca2+]i following calcium entry due to nicotine. Bradykinin also stimulates calcium entry, and this may increase the efficacy of the initial rise in [Ca2+]i. Treatment with pertussis toxin resulted in an enhancement of secretion in response to all of the secretagogues.

    Notes: Summary Cell-attached patch clamp recordings from unfertilized oocytes of the ascidianBoltenia villosa reveal an ion channel which is activated by mechanical deformation of the membrane. These channels are seen when suction is applied to the patch pipette, but not in the absence of suction or during voltage steps. The estimated density of these stretch-activated channels is about 1.5/μm2, a figure equal to or greater than the density of known voltage-dependent channels in the oocyte. Ion substitution experiments done with combined whole-cell and attached patch recording, so absolute potentials are known, indicate that the channel passes Na+, Ca2+ and K+, but not Cl−. The channel has at least two open and two closed states, with the rate constant that leaves the longer-lived closed state being the primary site of stretch sensitivity. External Ca2+ concentration affects channel kinetics: at low calcium levels, long openings predominate, whereas at high calcium virtually all openings are to the short-lived open state. In multiple channel patches, the response to a step change in suction is highly phasic, with channel open probability decreasing over several hundred milliseconds to a nonzero steady-state level after an initial rapid increase. This channel may play a role in the physiological response of cells of the early embryo to the membrane strains associated with morphogenetic events.

    Notes: Summary In rabbit ileum, Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) appears to be involved in physiologically inhibiting the linked NaCl absorptive process, since inhibitors of Ca2+/CaM stimulate linked Na+ and Cl− absorption. The role of Ca2+/CaM-dependent phosphorylation in regulation of the brush-border Na+/H+ antiporter, which is believed to be part of the neutral linked NaCl absorptive process, was studied using purified brush-border membrane vesicles, which contain both the Na+/H+ antiporter and Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase(s) and its phosphoprotein substrates. Rabbit ileal villus cell brush-border membrane vesicles were prepared by Mg precipitation and depleted of ATP. Using a freezethaw technique, the ATP-depleted vesicles were loaded with Ca2+, CaM, ATP and an ATP-regenerating system consisting of creatine kinase and creatine phosphate. The combination of Ca2+/CaM and ATP inhibited Na+/H+ exchange by 45±13%. This effect was specific since Ca2+/CaM and ATP did not alter diffusive Na+ uptake, Na+-dependent glucose entry, or Na+ or glucose equilibrium volumes. The inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger by Ca2+/CaM/ATP was due to an effect on theV max and not on theK m for Na+. In the presence of CaM and ATP, Ca2+ caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of Na+ uptake, with an effect 50% of maximum occurring at 120nm. This Ca2+ concentration dependence was similar to the Ca2+ concentration dependence of Ca2+/CaM-dependent phosphorylation of specific proteins in the vesicles. The Ca2+/CaM/ATP-inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange was reversed by W13, a Ca2+/CaM antagonist, but not by a hydrophobic control, W12, or by H-7, a protein kinase C antagonist. we conclude that Ca2+, acting through CaM, regulates ileal brush-border Na+/H+ exchange, and that this may be involved in the regulation of neutral linked NaCl absorption.

    Notes: Summary Ca2+-activated K+ channels were studied in cultured medullary thick ascending limb cells (MTAL) using the patch-clamp technique. The purpose was to determine the effect of acidic pH on channel properties in excised patches of apical cell membrane. At pH 7.4, increasing Ca2+ on the intracellular side or applying positive voltages increases channel open probability. Reducing pH to 5.8 on the intracellular face of the channel decreases channel open probability at each voltage and Ca2+ concentration. Channel mean open times display two distributions and mean closed times display three distributions. Increasing Ca2+ or applying depolarizing voltages lengthens each of the mean open times and shortens each of the closed times. Lowering pH to 5.8 decreases the mean open times and increases mean closed times at each Ca2+ and voltage with the greatest effect on the mean closed times. In contrast, both single-channel conductance and channel kinetics are unaffected when pH is reduced to 5.8 on the extracellular face of the membrane. We conclude that protons interfere with Ca2+ binding to the gate of Ca2+-activated K+ channels reducing the probability of channel opening.

    Notes: Summary Using patch-clamp techniques, we have studied Ca2+-activated K+ channels in the basolateral membrane of freshly isolated epithelial cells from rabbit distal colon. Epithelial cell clusters were obtained from distal colon by gentle mechanical disruption of isolated crypts. Gigaohm seals were obtained on the basolateral surface of the cell clusters. At the resting potential (approximately −45 mV), with NaCl Ringer's bathing the cell, the predominant channels had a conductance of 131±25 pS. Channel activity depended on voltage as depolarization of the membrane increased the open probability. In excised inside-out patches, channels were found to be selective for K+ over Na+. Channel activity correlated directly with bath Ca2+ concentration in the excised patches. Channel currents were blocked by 5mm TEA+ and 1mm Ba2+. In cell-attached patches, after addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187, which increases intracellular Ca2+, open probability was markedly increased. Channel activity was also regulated by cAMP as addition of 1mm dibutyryl-cAMP in the bath solution in cell-attached patches increased channel open probability over 20-fold. Channels that had been activated by cAMP were further activated by Ca2+. We conclude that the basolateral membrane of epithelial cells from descending colon contains a class of potassium channels, which are regulated by intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP.

Four of the products were identified via GC-MS as 1,ω-di(alkoxy)-polysulphides having the general structure ROSnOR. Retention contributions of alkyl groups R and sulphur atoms in the −Sn — chain are not much different from values observed with polysulphides. The effect of oxygen, however, is only about −100 index units per O atom, while in dialkyl ethers values of −500 units have been reported.

    Notes: Summary Retention of small molecules on reversed phase or other hydrophobic stationary phases can be represented by k′ values of members of a homologous series at varying solvent compositions. The evaluation of simple linear relationships leads to the introduction of a set of four parameters that contain all the information about retention behaviour of this homologous series in the binary solvent system chosen. It is possible to extrapolate to a hypothetical non-hydrophobic molecule and a solvent, the polarity of which equals that of the stationary phase, to characterize the properties of the stationary phase — eluent system. In addition, a chromatographic method for determination of the phase ratio of the column is proposed.

During the 60-minute linear gradient of 0.05 M sodium sulfate, 0.05 M sodium hydrogen sulfate and 0.05% (v/v) acetonitrile in buffer “B” complete separation was accomplished in 40 min. Identity and purity of the fractions were checked by SDS electrophoretic method. The eluted HCG fractions were dialyzed for 24 hours to remove the buffer salts and liophilized. The activity of the hormone did not decreased significantly during the purification procedure.

    Notes: Abstract In the article, we present experimental data indicating that negative emotional states evoked by electrical stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamus or by behavioral conflicts are accompanied by a predominance of vascular responses of a presser character possessing the property of summation. In contrast, positive emotional states during a self-stimulation reaction or when animals attain behavioral results satisfying their major biological demands are accompanied by a predominance of pressor-depressor vascular reactions. In individual animals under conditions of experimental emotional stress in conflicting situations of a prolonged character, pronounced disturbances of cardiac-vascular functions occur. Predominantly pressor vascular reactions arise in response to forced stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamus in such cases. It is shown that changes in vascular tonus plays a leading role in disturbances of AP regulation during stress of immobilization. The most frequent cause of death in animals under such conditions is a progressive fall of AP due to an abrupt decrease in the total peripheral resistance. The resistance of the cardiac-vascular functions to emotional stress is determined to a significant degree by genetic mechanisms.

    Notes: Summary 1. Loss of response after prolonged or repeated application of stimulus is generally termed desensitization. A wide variety of phenomena occurring in living organisms falls under this general definition of desensitization. There are two main types of desensitization processes: specific and non-specific. 2. Desensitization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is triggered by prolonged or repeated exposure to agonists and results in inactivation of its ion channel. It is a case of specific desensitization and is an intrinsic molecular property of the receptor. 3. Desensitization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular junction was first reported by Katz and Thesleff in 1957. Desensitization of the receptor has been demonstrated by rapid kinetic techniques and also by the characteristic “burst kinetics” obtained from single-channel recordings of receptor activity in native as well as in reconstituted membranes. In spite of a number of studies, the detailed molecular mechanism of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor desensitization is not known with certainty. The progress of desensitization is accompanied by an increase in affinity of the receptor for its agonist. This change in affinity is attributed to a conformational change of the receptor, as detected by spectroscopic and kinetic studies. A four-state general model is consistent with the major experimental observations. 4. Desensitization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor can be potentially modulated by exogenous and endogenous substances and by covalent modifications of the receptor structure. Modulators include the noncompetitive blockers, calcium, the thymic hormone peptides (thymopoietin and thymopentin), substanceP, the calcitonin gene-related peptide, and receptor phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is an important posttranslational covalent modification that is correlated with the regulation and desensitization of the receptor through various protein kinases. 5. Although the physiological significance of desensitization of the nicotinic receptor is not yet fully understood, desensitization of receptors probably plays a significant role in the operation of the neuronal networks associated in memory and learning processes. Desensitization of the nicotinic receptor could also possibly be related to the neuromuscular disease, myasthenia gravis.

    Notes: Abstract Ammonia volatilization during aerobic decomposition of poultry manure was significantly reduced through additions of calcium and magnesium salts. The percentage reduction in ammonia loss decreased during the 48 day decomposition period from 85–100% in the first 2–3 weeks, to 23–52% at the end of the experiment. The maximum amount of ammonia which was retained (i.e. maximum reduction in ammonia loss) through addition of the chloride salts of Mg2+ or Ca2+ was independent of the type of cation. However, CaCl2 released some of the ammonia initially retained as production of CO2 and NH3 from the manure decreased after 3 weeks of decomposition, whereas both MgCl2 and MgSO4 did not release any of the initially retained ammonia over the 7 week incubation period. Over the entire incubation period MgCl2 therefore retained more ammonia than CaCl2. Magnesium sulphate was considerably less effective in retaining ammonia than either chloride salts.

    Notes: Abstract Soil solution and needles of three mature spruce stands in Upper Austria were analysed in order to investigate the uptake and possible toxic effects of Mn and Al, as these two elements become highly mobilised in the soil due to increasing acidity. The Ca/Al molar ratio in the soil solution was below 0.2 in the most damaged stand during almost the whole vegetation period. Despite different dynamics, Al reaches almost identical values in all stands at the end of the vegetation period in both 1-year (current) and 2-year-old needles, respectively. Therefore, needle analysis is not a useful tool for estimation of free Al in the soil. Needle contents of other elements could provide a better information for understanding the forest decline. Mn in the needles correlates significantly with Mn concentrations in the soil solution. As soil Mn will be mobilised by acidic input, Mn needle content can increase to very high levels. Manganese distribution, its interaction with calcium, and possible toxic effects are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Cation and anion exchange resin bags were placed just under the humus layer at five adjacent forest sample sites with differing site quality classes in order to assess the available nutrient supply. For comparison, humus samples were collected from the same sites. Nutrients were extracted from humus samples by conventional extraction methods and by shaking together with ion exchange resin bags. Ca and Mg corresponded best to differences in site quality class, of all analysed ions in thein situ resin bag eluates. Thein situ resin bag adsorption of NH4−N, Na and Mn also showed a positive correlation with site quality. The adsorption of PO4−P was negatively correlated to site quality class. Inadequate amounts of exchange resin, or leaving resin bagsin situ for too long a time result in the replacement of already adsorbed ions by ions with higher ion exchange constants.

    Notes: Abstract Honeylocust (Gleditsia triancanthos L.) root growth response to varying levels of Al and Ca in soil solutions was examined in two horizons each of two forest soils. With results from all four horizons combined, multiple regression analysis indicated that both Ca and Al were significant (p〈0.01) factors affecting root elongation, branching and biomass production. Over a wide range of Al and Ca concentrations in soil solutions from four different soil horizons, the Ca:Al ratio was a significantly better predictor of honeylocust root response to acid soils than Al or Ca alone.

DPH decay is analysed by a continuous distribution of lifetimes. The results suggest an increase of membrane heterogeneity at low calcium concentrations, without changes in the polarity of the environment surrounding the probe.

    Notes: Abstract The absorption of calcium involves a saturable (active) and a nonsaturable (passive) component. The work of several investigators indicates that an inverse relationship exists between calcium intake and absorption efficiency. Human calcium absorption data from the literature were analyzed using a model which included both an active and a passive absorption component. Simulations were provided to illustrate the suitability of this model, and another previously reported model, to fit the data and to estimate the absorption efficiency of calcium when using different dosing regimens. Comparisons of the values predicted in this study with some literature values are provided and some assumptions and potential limitations associated with the use of this method are discussed. The division of the daily dose into equal increments taken at equally spaced intervals over the course of the day is recommended as a useful procedure for increasing the absorption efficiency and efficacy of calcium.

    Notes: Abstract Among the inorganic chloride salts, NaCl, CaCl2 and in a minor proportion KCl and MgCl2 are used as deicing agents. Mixturs of these salts were merely applied with respect to their physico-chemical properties, but their effect on roadside vegetation has never been studied so far. From a screening of different salt mixtures on ion accumulation in needles and twigs of spruce tress (Picea abies sp.) it was shown that the presence of a small amount of calcium in the salt treatments had some beneficial effects on ion regulation. In the presence of calcium, sodium accumulation could be reduced. But more straightforward was its effect on the selectivity between sodium and potasium in favour of the latter. Chloride concentrations did not alter very much; their role in the presence of monovalent cations is nevertheless obvious and is discussed. The study also confirms the presence of potassium retranslocation in conifer trees. The ion characteristics are briefly discussed with respect to the ecological effects of chloride salts on tress.

    Notes: Abstract The contents of Sr and Ca were measured weekly in Lake Constance in 1986. Epilimnetic concentrations of Ca changed between 1.30 × 10-3 mol l-1 (during homothermy) and 0.9 × 10 -3 mol l-1 (during thermal stratification). The seasonal fluctuations of Ca were correlated with those of Sr (between 4.61 and 5.36 μmol l-1). The epilimnion was permanently oversaturated with respect to calcite but not with respect to SrCO3. Analysis of the settling process by use of sedimentation traps revealed two short episodes of very high authigenic settling fluxes of CaCO3, triggered by phytoplankton diatoms. Seasonal changes of the Ca contents (between 4.1 and 30.7 percent of the dry weight) and of the Sr concentrations (from 12 to 75 × 10-3 percent) in the settling material were closely correlated. This suggests a coprecipitation mechanism with a nearly constant stoichiometry of (atoms Sr/atoms Ca) × 1000 of 0.84. Coprecipitation of Sr or Ca with organic matter was insignificant. In the hypolimnion some Sr and Ca were released from the settling material. These results strongly suggest that the cycle of Sr in Lake Constance is driven predominantly by coprecipitation with calcite. The principal chemical mechanisms leading to coprecipitation are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract At the heads of two river reservoirs, the Ishitegawa Dam and the Nomura Dam Reservoirs in Japan, the concentrations of phytoplanktonic particulate phosphorus (PP) were compared with those of dissolved calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), using multiple regression analyses on the data taken from samples which registered more than 6.0 µg l−1 in chlorophyll a concentration. Of the 27 monthly samples, 16 from the Ishitegawa Reservoir and 17 from the Nomura Reservoir were used. A significant regression line, logPP = k 1F + k 2, was obtained, where k 1 (〉 0) and k 2 were constants and F (named the Ca-Mg index) consisted of log(Ca/Mg) − 0.5 log(ca + Mg) in mol concentration in Ca and Mg, in common with the two reservoirs (r 2 = 0.730 & 0.913).

    Notes: Abstract The toadfish,Opsanus tau, lacks renal glomeruli and macula densa, but has high renal renin activity and abundant granulated cells in renal arteries and arterioles. Reduction of blood pressure (BP) or blood volume by hemorrhage or vasodilatory drugs causes renin release, indicating that an intrarenal or extrarenal pressure- or volume-sensitive mechanism exists for controlling renin release in the toadfish. Thus, we examined whether 1) β-adrenergic receptor-mediated activation of renin release, and 2) calcium influx which may underlie the baroreceptor mechanism are involved in the cellular control of renin release. Acute injection of isoproterenol (1 μg/kg, n = 6) decreased BP and increased plasma renin activity (PRA) 4–5 fold in unanesthetized toadfish. Propranolol abolished both effects, but did not decrease basal PRA levels.In vitro superfusion of renal slices with bicarbonate Ringer's solution showed a steady secretion of renin, and addition of 50 mM K+ (K+ methylsulfate replacing NaCl, n = 10) to the superfusate markedly suppressed renin secretion. Nifedipine (10−5 M, n = 8) completely restored the high K+-induced inhibition of renin secretion from renal slices, whereas isoproterenol (10−4 M, n = 6) neither increased basal renin secretion nor restored K+-induced renin suppression. These results suggest that calcium influx may mediate inhibitory messages for renin secretion, while the β-adrenoceptor-mediated activation of granulated cells appears absent in toadfish.

    Notes: Abstract The structure and physiology of salmon teleocalcin, a Ca+2 regulating hormone from the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) is reviewed. Teleocalcin is produced by the PAS+, type 1 cells in the CS. The hormone is a disulfide-linked homodimer, with a unique amino acid sequence and a carbohydrate moiety on residue 29. The teleocalcin monomer has a MW of 30 KD, whereas the pro-form of the monomer is 32 KD. The hormone is positively regulated by Ca+2 and its function is to slow the active transport of Ca+2 across the gill epithelium. In conjunction with prolactin, which stimulates Ca+2 transport, teleocalcin is one of the major factors involved in Ca+2 homeostasis in fish.

    Notes: Abstract Very little research has been done to investigate the effect of a dry podding zone on reproductive development in peanut plants that are otherwise well hydrated via subsoil moisture extraction. The influence of podding zone moisture content on reproductive development and growth of three peanut cultivars (McCubbin, Gajah and Robut 33-1) was investigated in pots grown in the glasshouse. In two cultivars (McCubbin and Gajah) seed yield was reduced in a dry (air-dry) compared to a wet (field capacity) podding zone. Seed yield of Robut 33-1 was unaffected by podding zone moisture content, indicating that cultivar variation in reproductive performance in response to podding zone moisture may exist.

    Notes: Abstract Adsorption ofRhizobium meliloti L5-30 in low numbers to alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) roots was dependent on the presence of divalent cations, and required neutral pH. Adsorption was proportional to Ca and/or Mg concentrations up to 1.5 mM. Ca was not substituted by Sr, Ba or Mn. Adsorption was abolished and viability decreased at pH≤6. When lowering pH, higher Ca concentrations were required to attain similar adsorption levels, indicating a marked interactive effect between Ca and H ions. Pretreatment of the roots with Ca and low pH did not affect subsequent adsorption of the bacteria. However, Ca pretreatment ofR. meliloti sustained further adsorption at low Ca levels and low pH substantially affected their ability to adsorb. Low pH appears to affect the stability of binding causing desorption of the previously bound bacteria. The presence of saturating concentrations of heterologousR. leguminosarum bv.trifolii A118, did not prevent the expression of divalent cations and pH requirements, as well as their interaction. Our results suggest that rhizobial binding to the root surface already shows the Ca and pH dependence of alfalfa nodulation, which was generally associated to some event prior to rhizobial penetration of root hairs.

    Notes: Abstract Concentrations of adenine and pyridine nucleotides and the associated charge values were examined in extracts of mycelium of Penicillium notatum during vegetative growth and reproductive development promoted by the addition of Ca2+ (10 mmol dm-3). The significant increase in adenylate energy charge promoted by Ca2+ was due to a fall in intracellular AMP and a concomitant rise in ATP concentration. Intracellular concentrations of NADH and NAD fell within 1 h of the addition of Ca2+. The catabolic reduction charge was unchanged by Ca2+ whilst the anabolic reduction charge increased in Ca2+-induced mycelium due to lowered intracellular NADP concentration. Reduced concentration of NADPH in Ca2+-induced mycelium, relative to the vegetative controls, lowered the phosphorylated nucleotide fraction. The results are discussed in relation to metabolic economy during morphogenesis in P. notatum.

    Notes: Abstract Tree decline has been observed recently in 25–30 year old pine stands inCladina andCalluna-type heath forests in the Hämeenkangas and Pohjankangas areas of southwestern Finland. The trees had grown more or less normally for 15 years. During the following 7 to 8 years increased growth occurred. From 1982 to 1984, however, the trees revealed a sudden reduction in height increment. Additionally, some trees were marked by poor apical shoot dominance. Occasionally complete crown dieback was observed. The trees retained only one to three years' needles. These needles often were characterized by a brownish yellow discoloration. Chemical foliar and soil analysis indicate both a nitrogen deficiency and a deficiency in calcium and magnesium related to the relatively high aluminium levels in the soil. In the needles of affected trees phosphorus and especially potassium concentrations were higher than normally. The low content of nitrogen, calcium and magnesium in the soil is related to the acidic, nutrient-poor bedrock, and the low cation exchange capacity. Also the leaching of nutrients, the shallow and poor quality of the humus layer, and the removal of nutrients by tree harvesting may have effected on the nutritional disturbances.

    Notes: Abstract NaCl and CaCl2 are frequently used as deicing agents during the winter season. The present study compares the effect of these deicing salts on salt injury on spruce trees (Picea abies sp.). From two field experiments carried out for ten weeks during the winter period of 1986–1987, and a total dose of 1.5 kg m−2 NaCl, CaCl2 or a 75/25 NaCl/CaCl2 mixture, it was found that the presence of calcium clearly reduced the salt injury as was indicated by salt tolerance ratings. These ratings corresponded well to the Cl− concentrations found in needles and twigs. Though an equal dose of Cl− was given, in the presence of CaCl2 the uptake of Cl− was inhibited. Surely the role of calcium on ion permeability in salinized soil should have its effect, together with the regulatory role that calcium has on ion accumulation and transport. Furthermore it was found that the climatic conditions and the calcium status of the soil only have an effect on the time of appearance of the injury.

These examples stem from studies of HPLC and the static adsorption of benzene, anisole and benzaldehyde from solutions in n-heptane on macroporous silica and active carbon at various temperatures. A criterion is suggested for evaluating equilibrium in the HPLC process. The potential of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) for evaluating the volume and predominant diameter of adsorbed pores as well as pore diffraction are discussed. Prospects for HPLC application to molecularstructural analysis and other purposes are discussed briefly.

Naphthalene, pyrene, benzo[ghi]perylene, and three larger naphthologues of 8, 10, and 12 rings (constituting a “naphthalene zigzag” series) were chosen because they span the solvent strength range up to and including the strongest solvents, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and chlorobenzene. Four pairs of similarly shaped isomers were used to probe solvent selectivity. With the exception of THF, HPLC solvent strength correlated with observed red shifts of fluorescence band maxima in each solvent. For THF, the pure solvent and blended mixtures behaved quite differently.

In some cases chromatograms have been obtained showing sample components eluting prior to the assumed non-retained species. This phenomenon results in apparent negative capacity factors for the species in question. We have proposed a method employing small inorganic anions which results in a limiting value for tm and eliminates apparent negative capacity factors.

The components of the peaks were found to be constituents of an equilibrium mixture. The structures of the two components were identified, one as the aldehyde hydrate, the other as the cyclanol derivative. The reactivity of TRIS (HCl) buffer at pH 8.5 with the arginine aldehyde moiety was used for the assignment of the equilibrium structures.

Perchloric acid extracts were neutralized with K2CO3/triethanolamine and analyzed at 254 nm by reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography. The nucleotides and their derivatives were separated with a gradient elution using 10 mM NH4H2PO4/2 mM t-butylammonium-phosphate and acetonitrile. Recovery values were estimated for the extraction procedure used. The method was applied to the investigation of nucleotide metabolism of hepatocytes of starved rats at anoxia and reoxygenation.

    Notes: Summary A low exchange-capacity, silica-based cation-exchanger for use in ion chromatography has been synthesized. (p-Trimethylsilyl)benzyl-dimethylchlorosilane (TBDCS) reacts with trimethylsilyl chlorosulfonate (TMCS) to produce a compound sulfonated in the para position of the type ArSO2OSi (CH3)3, which is bonded to 5 μm porous silica beads and hydrolysed to the corresponding arylsulfonic acid. The product is hydrophilic and has a high degree of sulfonation, efficiencies of packed columns reaching about 40,000–50,000 plates per meter for the separation of the Mn2+ ion. The new stationary phase has been applied to the ion chromatography of some organic and inorganic ions. It is notable that 14 lanthanides can be separated by isocratic elution about one hour on a 150×4·6 mm column, with 4 mM ethylenediamine and 6 mM α-hydroxyl-isobutanoic acid (pH 3.67) as mobile phase.

    Notes: Summary Excessive breakdown of elastin, a structural protein, may be related to aortic disease and emphysema. Since L-valyl-L-proline occurs in high concentrations in elastin, a rapid and sensitive method using HPLC with post-column on-line derivatization was used to measure the dipeptide from swine aortic tissue, and the amount of elastin present was determined. Elastin was extracted by alkaline hydrolysis. After neutralization and filtration, the sample was injected onto a ODS-2 gel column, and the dipeptide was eluted by a linear gradient of 0 to 10% of 1-propanol in 50 mM heptafluorobutyrate, pH 3, at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The eluent was reacted with fluorescamine at pH 8.6, and fluorescence was detected at an excitation wavelength of 395 nm and a 455 nm cutoff emission filter.

    Notes: Summary In order to separate and purify some of the enzymes contained in porcine pancreas, operation of an ion-exchange column in series with an affinity column has been used. The enzymes dealt with possess very similar molecular weights, isoelectric points and active sites. Hence they are difficult to separate and purify by traditional separation and/or purification methods. CM-Sepharose anion-exchange resin adsorbs elastase and trypsin at low pH (4.5) and desorbs them at high pH (9.0) and high ionic strength. Chitin-CHOM affinity adsorbent adsorbs trypsin at high pH (8.0) and desorbs it at low pH (2.5). By virtue of this complementary relationship two chromatographic columns were connected in series for facilitating the separation and purification of elastase and trypsin from porcine pancreas. The result showed that the specific activities of elastase and trypsin had been increased 16 and 22 fold respectively.

    Notes: Summary A new vesicular packing material — prepared from plant cell clusters by purification of the intact cell wall framework —is suitable for chromatography, giving high performance at low pressure gradients. The separation is achieved by dialysis through the cell wall, which is an ultrafilter membrane with an extremely sharp size limit of separation. Almost the whole of the stationary liquid phase is located within the vesicle (empty cell) lumina. In contrast to gel filtration vesicle chromatography gives a practically ideal separation of two size groups with an extremely short fractionation range. The size limit of separation was investigated by chromatography of proteins and other polymers. Group separation of molecules of a polydisperse dextran standard preparation showed that the critical Stokes' diameter for dextran permeation into the stationary liquid phase of the vesicular packing is 5 to 6 nm.

    Notes: Summary The anodic behaviour of pseudouridine a modified nucleoside proposed as tumoral marker, has been studied at a mercury electrode. A method for its determination in urine samples by liquid chromatography with indirect anodic polarographic detection has been developed. The method is simple, highly selective and permits the direct injection of urine after dilution (1∶20) with mobile phase. Creatinine, which also gave an anodic response on mercury, could be simultaneously determined and used as an “internal standard” for Psi. This allowed the pseudouridine/creatinine ratio determination in a single run on the same specimen and the use of urine samples collected randomly instead of the 24h collection. The within-day RSD% for pseudouridine/ creatinine peak areas ratio was 3.4%.

    Notes: Summary Silica gels produced from ester silicates (ES-gels) are excellent chromatographic supports. In comparison with other silica gels the RP-materials obtained from them show little peak tailing even with polar, and, in particular, with basic compounds. Gels produced by various manufacturing processes have been classified by adsorption with methyl pyridinium chloride. ES-gels yield very low methyl pyridinium chloride values and small asymmetry parameters. The results indicate that there are strongly acidic, structurally-related surface centres which cause peak tailing on most commercial gels. It was shown that surface silanols on silica gels do not, in themselves, lead to peak tailing.

    Notes: Summary Antimicrobially active formulations based on 2-methyl-3(2H)-isothiazolone and 5-chloro-2-methyl-3(2H)-isothiazolone (Kathon CG, Euxyl K 100) are incorporated into manufactured cosmetics as preservatives. In this paper we report on the analysis of these active components by means of liquid chromatography. It is conventional for the original methylisothiazolone components in cosmetics to be analyzed by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography after column chromatographic separation and flash chromatographic purification. In our new analytical method the methylisothiazolones are converted into the respective β-thiosubstituted acrylamide derivatives, which are ionic substances, with the help of the nucleophilic reagent hydrogensulfite. An ion pair high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the separation and quantification of these derivatives.

    Notes: Summary Both the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) on tailor made HPLC phases, and their chromatographic enrichment and quantitative determination are of great interest. Because of the generally low concentrations of PAH's in the environment, and the low limiting values in German legislation for drinking water, methods for selective enrichment and sensitive detection are indispensable. On account of their relatively high amounts in soil, the determination of PAH's is valuable for the assessment of the potential danger to ground water by waste materials. These requirements can be fulfilled by used of solid phase extraction on enrichment columns, and fluorescence or UV/VIS diode array detection. For the detection of PAH's in the picogram range, the wavelengths for excitation and emission were time programmed over the chromatogram. With this feature, it is possible to detect all the individual compounds at the highest sensitivity, over the entire analysis.

    Notes: Summary A simple and sensitive method is described for the determination of methylaltrexone, a quaternary narcotic antagonist, in discrete rat brain regions and serum. Separation and quantitation are performed by reversedphase high-performance liquid chromatography with coulometric electrochemical detection. Perchloric acid extracts of the brain tissue or serum were passed through a normal-phase solid-phase extraction CN column, and methylnaltreexone was subsequently eluted with a mixture of absolute ethanol and 25mM trifluoroacetic acid. Methylnaltrexone gave a linear response over the range of 12.5–100ng in 1.0ml for cerebellar homogenates and 25–200ng in 50μl for serum. The average betweenassay coefficients of variation for methylnaltrexone from 1.0ml of cerebellar homogenate and 50μl of serum were 5.2 and 3.6%, respectively, over the concentration range studied. The within-assay coefficients of variation at 12.5ng/ml cerebellar homogenate and 25ng/50μl for serum were 7.4 and 4.6%, respectively. Analytical recovery of methylanyltrexone, added to cerebellar homogenate and serum samples, were 85 and 89%, respectively. The method was applied to the analysis of methylnaltrexone in discrete rat brain regions and serum after intraperitoneal injection.

Conditions for maximum resolution of the γ-gliadin components were found to be at pH 7.2 with acetonitrile: 2-propanol (3:1) as the eluent. These conditions allowed the components to be obtained in sufficient purity for further charaterization.

    Notes: Summary In our previous publications we have established a new physico-chemically grounded retention model valid for the adsorption and partition mechanism of retention using multicomponent mobile phases. Moreover, we have demonstrated its practical usefulness for predicting solute retention in several different chromatographic modes (i.e. in TLC, normal-phase and reversed-phase HPLC) employing binary mobile phases. In this paper we give an ultimate check to the physicochemical correctness of our new retention model, using it for the description of solute retention in reversedphase HPLC systems with ternary mobile phases of the B+AB1+AB2 type. The complexity of these mobile phases and of the possible intermolecular interactions among the consitituent solvents was supposed to rigidly scrutinize the premises of the assumed new approach. We have observed a good agreement between the experimental retention parameter for a number of solutes chromatographed with the use of two different mobile phases of the B+AB1+AB2 type, and the retention parameter calculated according to the assumed model. Therefore, we believe to have sufficiently tested our new approach and confirmed its physico-chemical correctness.

It was found that some columns resolved both racemates, some one, while the others did not separate either. A polymer which has 2,6-dichlorobenzyl moiety was found to resolve both racemates more effectively than the unsubstituted polymer.

These substances are the phenolic decomposition products of the phenoxy-alkanoic acid herbicides: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric acid (2,4-DB), and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). An RP-C18 column was used, with gradient elution starting at 50/50 and changing to 70/30 methanol/water (v/v) after 24 min. Detection was carried out at 470 nm where the 4-aminoantipyrilquinonimine derivatives show maximum absorbance. The method was linear over a concentration range of 5–10,000 ppb phenol in the original water sample. By using an enrichment step a detection limit of 2 ppb phenol could be approached. The method was used to study the degree of degradation of the phenoxy acids to phenols under different conditions of temperature, pH, and UV irradiation.

    Notes: Summary Using an MCl GEL CRS10W column, which was packed with octadecyl silica (ODS) coated with N,N-dioctyl-L-alanine, optical resolution of 2-hydroxy acids was performed. The optical resolution of mandelic acid derivatives and C2 to C5 2-hydroxy acids was carried without any pretreatment. The MCl GEL CRS10W column could resolve amino acids and 2-hydroxy acids. For their selective detection, a post-column method was employed in which the specific color reaction of 2-hydroxy acids with iron(III) ion was utilized. For the analysis of foodstuffs, in which amino acids and 2-hydroxy acids often coexist, the present method was found to be effective in distinguishing between these enantiomers.

A copolymer incorporated by 27mol% of methyl methacrylate showed higher chirality recognition capability than the homopolymer, which suggests that the introduction of methyl methacrylate contributes to enriching desired penicillin sulfoxide alignment (i. e., tracticity) along the polymer main chain. An estimated penicillin monomer's number-average sequence length in the copolymer was 2.7.

As shown the order of elution of the acetylacetonates depends on the type of the column packing and on the nature and concentration of the organic modifier in the mobile phase.

    Notes: Summary Preparative medium pressure liquid chromatography and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography on silica were employed for the isolation of eight furocoumarin isomers (iso-bergapten, angelicin, psoralen, bergapten, pimpinellin, sphondin, xanthotoxin and isopimpinellin). The conditions were transposed from analytical on-line overpressured layer chromatography and analytical high performance liquid chromatography, respectively. The retention data of the analytical on-line overpressured layer chromatographic separation and the preparative medium pressure liquid chromatographic isolation show a linear relationship. Using 15 μm TLC silica 60 as stationary phase a dry-packing procedure aas developed for labomatic medium pressure liquid chromatographic glass columns. The efficiency of the preparative separation techniques was demonstrated by the isolation of the investigated furocoumarins from Heraclei mantegazziani radix and from Pimpinellae radix (Balkan quality).

    Notes: Summary A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method on C-18 bonded silica is described for the separation of trisubstituted iodo/bromothyronines, which exert thyroid hormone activity. The composition of the mobile phase has been systematically optimized resulting in a ternary mixture of methanol/acetonitrile/water acidified with trifluoroacetic acid. The applicability of ultraviolet absorption detection, amperometric detection and off-line radioimmunoassay was investigated. The latter method allows detection of the different iodo/bromothyronines down to 40–120 ng/l mobile phase; this sensitivity is high enough for application to thyroid hydrolysates in order to clarify the question as to whether bromine can substitute iodine in the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones.

    Notes: Summary The reaction of secondary amines R2NH with disulfur dichloride S2Cl2 in dichloro methane yields mixtures of bis-dialkylamino polysulphides R2N−Sn−NR2 with sulphur chain lengths varying from ns=2 to 14. The S chains are believed to be non-branched. The compounds form homologous series in each of which sulphur atoms give a constant contribution to retention. The sulphur retention index depends slightly on the carbon number in the terminal alkyl groups R. The presence of nitrogen lowers retention. The index increment of N is ca. −160 units, which is distinctly less negative than values found in alkylamines.

    Notes: Summary A method is described for the ready identification of any peptide isolated from a complex peptic haemoglobin hydrolysate produced on the pilot-plant scale. A combination of size exclusion and reversed-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography have proved to be a useful strategy for fractionation of such a mixture. This technique enabled pure peptides from the total hydrolysate to be obtained. Amino acid analysis and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry provided the accurate composition and molecular weight of any isolated peptide. Molecular weights are compared with those deduced from size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and the usefulness of SEC is discussed. The procedure described in this study will be useful for acquiring a better knowledge of such an hydrolysate and could be extended to other crude protein digests.

    Notes: Summary The use of the electrochemical detector (EC) in the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of dansyl derivatives of biogenic amines is reported. Isocratic and gradient elution patterns of synthetic mixtures of putrescine, cadaverine, 1,6-diaminohexane, tryptamine, histamine, tyramine, spermine and spermidine on a reversed phase column are shown. Hydrodynamic voltammograms of standard compounds are presented. The detection limits of the EC are compared with those of ultraviolet and spectrofluorimetric detectors. A chromatographic profile of amines from the proteolytic catabolism of maize silage byClostridia is shown.

    Notes: Summary HPLC retention data for a number of flavonoid compounds have been evaluated on normal phase silica and cyano colums according to the Soczewinski-Snyder (S.-S.) model. On the silica phase most of the flavones examined exhibited asymetrical peak shapes indicating strong and mixed retention mechanisms; on the cyano phase the intercept of the S.-S. relationship was independent of any hydroxy substitution pattern or of molecular planarity. A similar behaviour, but with different intercept values, was observed with coumarin and quinone compounds.
