    Notes: Abstract The localization of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.3.1.) in the leaf cells of Sorghum vulgare was investigated by using three techniques: the conventional aqueous and non aqueous methods gave conflicting results; the immunocytochemical techniques clearly showed that the enzyme is predominantly located in the cytoplasm of mesophyll cells.

    Notes: Summary Chlormethiazole ethanedisulphonate (0.8%) (Hemineurin, Astra) was administered to 10 healthy unpremedicated volunteers at a constant-rate infusion of 2.5 ml/min for 60 min (Phase 1, n=5) and 113 min (Phase 2, n=5). With one exception, chlormethiazole blood concentration-time data were described by a two-compartment open model. Total body clearance was the same in both phases (1.15 l · min−1, SD 0.49; and 1.05 l · min−1, SD 0.36 respectively) and was similar to the clearance of indocyanine green. No correlation was found between clearance, initial dilution volume (137 l, SD 62; and 125 l, SD 33 in 1 and 2 phases respectively) or volume of distribution at steady-state equilibrium (308 l, SD 91; and 224 l, SD 59) with either body weight or estimated lean tissue mass. Slow half-life was 289 min (SD 169) in Phase 1 and 253 min (SD 172) in Phase 2. Moderately heavy sedation associated with amnesia while retaining the ability to readily obey verbal commands was achieved in one subject of Phase 1 and 4 subjects of Phase 2 and occurred at a mean chlormethiazole ethanedisulphonate blood concentration of 9.2 mg · l−1 (SD 2.9). Transient nasal irritation was experienced by all subjects during the initial stages of infusion. A rise in pulse rate (33%, SD 8) was a prominent feature but blood pressure and respiratory rates were very stable.

    Notes: Summary The disposition of azapropazone 600 mg i.v. was investigated in 6 healthy subjects, 13 patients with cirrhosis and 8 patients with renal failure. In healthy subjects the elimination half-life was 12.2±2.1 h (mean ± SD), the volume of distribution 10.6±3.31 and the total clearance was 597±135 ml·h−1. Renal clearance accounted for about 62% of the total clearance. The free fraction of azapropazone in the plasma was 0.0045±0.0006. The patients with cirrhosis were divided into Group I with modest and Group II with severe impairment of liver function. In Group I the total clearance of azapropazone was not significantly different from that in healthy subjects. There was a 2.5-fold increase in its free fraction in plasma, and a reduction in the free drug clearance to about half that in healthy subjects. In Group II patients total clearance was reduced to about 20% of normal. This was partly due to reduced non-renal clearance but mainly to impaired renal clearance of azapropazone. The diminished renal clearance was considered at least in part to represent a drug-induced impairment of renal function, as there was a concomitant reduction in creatinine clearance. The free fraction of azapropazone in the plasma was markedly enhanced (〉0.02), and simultaneously, free drug clearance was drastically reduced, to about 2% of that in healthy subjects. In patients with renal failure the total clearance was diminished, depending on the degree of impairment of kidney function. Anephric patients were estimated to have about one third of the total clearance in normal subjects. The free fraction of azapropazone in the plasma was increased in 4 of the 8 patients. It is concluded that patients with cirrhosis and modest impairment of liver function may require about half the normal dose of azapropazone, since free drug clearance is reduced by about 50%. Patients with severe impairment of liver function are expected to be highly susceptible to dose-related side effects, since the pronounced increase in the free fraction in plasma and the decreases in renal and non-renal clearance lead to marked reduction in free drug clearance and so to accumulation of free drug in the body. In patients with renal failure the dose of azapropazone should be reduced according to the degree of impairment of kidney function and plasma protein binding of the drug.

    Notes: Summary In 10 healthy volunteers the time course of cardiac beta-adrenoceptor blocking activity, plasma levels and cumulative urinary excretion of pindolol were compared during a 4-day course of pindolol 5 mg (Visken®) t. d. s., and one tablet of pindolol 20 mg retard (Visken® retard) once a day. After oral administration of the 20 mg retard tablet, plasma concentrations of pindolol higher than half the maximum value (1/2 Cp (tmax)) were maintained about 2.5 times as long as after administration of the conventional 5 mg tablet. This is evidence for an important and marked retardation of drug release. During treatment with pindolol 20 mg retard once daily, cardiac beta-adrenoceptor blockade, measured by the reduction in exercise-induced tachycardia and in the exercise-induced rise in systolic blood pressure, at almost all times throughout the 24 h period was at least as great as during treatment with pindolol 5 mg t. d. s. This suggests that patients successfully treated with pindolol 5 mg t. d. s. can be maintained with the same beta-adrenoceptor blockade by a single tablet of pindolol 20 mg retard once daily.

    Notes: Summary The systemic disposition of theophylline after taking a new, sustained release tablet (Theolair Retard® 250 mg, Theolair S. R.®, Riker Laboratories) has been studied in 8 hospitalized patients. Absolute bioavailability was determined from the ratios of the areas under the serum concentration-time curves after intake of the tablet and after intravenous infusion of aminophylline in the same patient. The absolute bioavailability of Theolair Retard® 250 mg was 110.9±20.8% (mean ± SD). Maximal serum concentrations were reached after 7.3±3.5 h, the large intersubject variation being due to differences in gastric emptying time. The tablets appear to release theophylline slowly in acid conditions, but more rapidly in an alkaline medium. Invasion was found to be either monophasic with a rate constant of about 0.8 h−1 (intestine), or biphasic with rate constants of 0.2 h−1 (stomach) and 0.8 h−1 (intestine). The peak levels accounted for 7.9±2.2 mg · 1−1. The profiles of the serum concentration-time curves were such that the concentrations remained above 80% of cmax for 6.5±3.3 h. The relevant pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life of elimination, total body clearance and volume of distribution) were determined and were used to calculate the individual dosage regimens required to obtain therapeutic serum concentrations. The optimal dosing interval to obtain an average steady state serum concentration of 12.5 mg · l−1 was 9.8±3.1 h.

    Notes: Summary In 20 women receiving Sintrom® post partum, the acenocoumarol concentration in serum and breast milk at different times was measured. Even at the time of maximal serum concentration, or for the following 6 h, no acenocoumarol could be detected in the breast milk. In accordance with this finding, no effect of breast feeding on Thrombotest values of the infants could be demonstrated. These data suggest that mothers taking acenocoumarol for a short period may safely breast feed their infants.

    Notes: Summary Plasma and salivary caffeine concentrations were measured by gas-liquid chromatography in 6 healthy caffeine-free volunteers following oral administration of 50, 300, 500 and 750 mg caffeine. Caffeine was also given to a single subject intravenously in doses of 300, 500 and 750 mg. Caffeine was rapidly absorbed and was completely available at all doses. The apparent first-order elimination rate constant decreased linearly with dose and was 0.163±0.081 h−1 for 50 mg and 0.098±0.027 h−1 for 750 mg. The total body clearance was unaffected by dose and was 0.98±0.38 ml/min/kg. There was a trend towards increasing apparent volume of distribution with increasing dose. A linear relationship existed between the area under the plasma concentration, time curve and dose and dose-normalised plasma concentration, time plots were superimposable. These findings suggest that caffeine obeys linear pharmacokinetics over the dose range investigated. Despite significant inter-individual differences in pharmacokinetic parameters there was good reproducibility within 5 subjects given 300 mg caffeine orally on 3 occasions. Salivary caffeine levels probably reflect the unbound plasma caffeine concentration and can be used to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug. Overall the saliva/plasma concentration ratio was 0.74±0.08 but within subjects some time-dependence of the ratio was found with higher ratios initially (even after intravenous administration) and lower ratios at longer time intervals after the dose. Urinary elimination of caffeine was low and independent of dose: 1.83% of the dose was eliminated unchanged.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of atenolol were determined following acute intravenous and chronic oral administration to 20 subjects with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 5 and 113 ml/min. Plasma levels in a further 5 patients on haemodialysis were measured after intravenous treatment. The mean half life of elimination increased from 5.9 h in patients with normal renal function to 42.1 h in preuraemic patients (GFR 〈10 ml/min) following a single i. v. dose. The half life of elimination following chronic oral administration was not significantly different. Mean peak plasma concentrations increased from 540 ng/ml in patients with normal renal function to 1493 ng/ml in preuraemic patients following chronic oral treatment with 100 mg/day. The mean half life of elimination during a single haemodialysis treatment was 4.3 h. In patients with a GFR 〉30 ml/min the normal daily dose of atenolol should be employed, in patients with a GFR between 10 and 30 ml/min the dose should be reduced by half, and in patients with a GFR 〈10 ml/min a reduction by three quarters of the normal dose is recommended.

    Notes: Summary A high pressure liquid chromatographic assay was developed for simultaneous measurement of the plasma levels of tolmesoxide and its principal metabolite, RX71112. The assay was used to study the disposition of intravenous and oral tolmesoxide in ten normotensive subjects. Two exponential terms were required to describe the disposition of the drug following intravenous administration, whilst a single exponential term sufficied to account for the decay in the plasma concentration after oral administration. The bioavailability of oral tolmesoxide from capsules averaged 84.5% and was independent of dose. The mean half-life after i. v. dosing was 2.6 h (±0.3 SEM) compared to values of 1.9 h (±0.1 SEM) and 2.7 h (±0.5 SEM) following 200 and 400 mg oral doses respectively. In all subjects RX71112 appeared in plasma shortly after tolmesoxide following both routes of administration. The terminal half-life of the metabolite was significantly longer than tolmesoxide with a mean value of 4.9 h (±0.9 SEM) following the 200 mg oral dose of tolmesoxide. The binding of tolmesoxide and RX71112 at therapeutic plasma concentration was 36.8% (±0.5 SEM) and 58.5% (±0.3 SEM) and this remained unchanged at higher concentrations.

    Notes: Summary The parmacokinetics of disopyramide (DP) in 10 patients with imminent to moderate cardiac failure has been studied and compared with the results in normal volunteers. The biological half life of rapid distribution (T1/2 α) and of elimination (T1/2 β) were increased (11.1±4.4 min and 9.7±4.2 h, respectively). Total body clearance (Clt) was decreased (0.467±0.215 ml · min−1 · kg−1), and the volume of distribution (Vd) was slightly reduced (0.610±0.1361 · kg−1), probably due to the lower cardiac index. After oral administration, the time to peak serum concentration was increased (139±89 min), and the mean peak serum concentration (2.4±0.8% dose · 1−1) was also higher than reported in normal subjects. Comparison of the areas under the concentration versus time curves after intravenous and oral administration (AUC i. v. and AUC oral) showed that DP was almost completely absorbed, its bioavailability being 97.5±15.0%.
