    The evolution of a plant globin gene family (1984)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary We have analyzed the sequences of soybean leghemoglobin genes as an initial step toward understanding their mode of evolution. Alignment of the sequences of plant globin genes with those of animals reveals that (i) based on the proportion of nucleotide substitutions that have occurred at the first, second, and third codon positions, the time of divergence of plant and animal globin gene families appears to be extremely remote (between 900 million and 1.4 billion years ago, if one assumes constancy of evolutionary rate in both the plant and animal lineages) and (ii) in addition to the normal regulatory sequences on the 5′ end, an approximately 30-base-pair sequence, specific to globin genes, that surrounds the cap site is conserved between the plant and animal globin genes. Comparison of the leghemoglobin sequences with one another shows that (i) the relative amount of sequence divergence in various coding and noncoding regions is roughly similar to that found for animal globin genes and (ii) as in animal globin genes, the positions of insertions and deletions in the intervening sequences often coincide with the locations of direct repeats. Thus, the mode of evolution of the plant globin genes appears to resemble, in many ways, that of their animal counterparts. We contrast the overall intergenic organization of the plant globin genes with that of animal genes, and discuss the possibility of the concerted evolution of the leghemoglobin genes.

    Nitrogen nutrition and the development of biochemical functions associated with nitrogen fixation and ammonia assimilation of nodules on cowpea seedlings (1984)
    Springer
    Planta 162 (1984), S. 327-333

    Keywords: Ammonia ; Nitrogen fixation ; Nodule ; Senescence (root nodules) ; Ureide ; Vigna

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract During early development (up to 18 d after sowing) of nodules of an “effective” cowpea symbiosis (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp cv. Vita 3: Rhizobium strain CB756), rapidly increasing nitrogenase (EC 1.7.99.2) activity and leghaemoglobin content were accompanied by rapid increases in activities of glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2), glutamate synthase (EC 2.6.1.53), enzymes of denovo purine synthesis (forming inosine monophosphate) xanthine oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.3.2), urate oxidase (EC 1.7.3.3), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) and led to increased export of ureides (allantoin and allantoic acid) to the shoot of the host plant in the xylem. Culturing plants with the nodulated root systems maintained in the absence of N2 (in 80 Ar: 20 O2, v/v) had little effect on the rates of induction and increase in nitrogenase activity and leghaemoglobin content but, in the absence of N2 fixation and consequent ammonia production by bacteroids, there was no stimulation of activity of enzymes of ammonia assimilation or of the synthesis of purines or ureides. Addition of NO 3 - (0.1–0.2 mM) relieved host-plant nitrogen deficiency caused by the Ar: O2 treatment but failed to increase levels of enzymes of N metabolism in either the bacteroid or the plant-cell fractions of the nodule. Premature senescence in Ar: O2-grown nodules occurred at 18–20 d after sowing, and resulted in reduced levels of nitrogenase activity and leghaemoglobin but increased the activity of hydroxybutyrate oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.30).

    Alcohol and bupropion pharmacokinetics in healthy male volunteers (1984)
    Springer
    European journal of clinical pharmacology 26 (1984), S. 627-630 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1041
    Keywords: bupropion ; ethanol ; pharmacokinetic interaction ; healthy volunteers
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary A study was performed to determine whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between alcohol and the novel antidepressant bupropion. In the first part 8 healthy male volunteers received single doses of 100 mg bupropion hydrochloride orally on 2 occasions accompanied by either ethanol in orange or plain orange drink according to a balanced cross over design. Plasma bupropion concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay and kinetics analysed with the aid of NONLIN. Blood alcohol levels were assessed by breathalyser. The disposition of bupropion was adequately described by a 2 compartment model and kinetic parameters were not significantly altered by the presence of alcohol. In the second part of the study the same subjects received 40 ml ethanol in orange drink 3.5 h after ingestion of 100 mg bupropion or dummy tablet in a double blind cross over fashion. Bupropion did not affect alcohol kinetics. In contrast to many other psychotropic drugs there is no evidence for a kinetic interaction between bupropion and alcohol.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary Six healthy volunteers received an iv infusion of 317 mg lysine theophylline (equivalent to 197 mg anhydrous theophylline) in order to calculate theophylline clearance by standard methods. They subsequently received a 20 minute inhalation of nebulised lysine theophylline. Serum and salivary theophylline concentrations were measured and all saliva was collected for the first hour. From these concentrations estimates were made of the distribution of theophylline into the blood and saliva with 40% to 94% identified in the blood. Very high salivary concentrations were reached during the inhalation phase with saliva: serum concentration ratios of between 60 and 1600.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of the selective benzodiazepine antagonist Ro 15-1788 has been studied in 6 healthy male volunteers following a single intravenous dose of 2.5 mg. The drug was only slightly bound to plasma proteins (40±8%, mean±SD). A negligible amount (〈0.2% of the dose) of unchanged drug was recovered in urine. Hepatic elimination was rapid, as shown by a short t1/2 of 0.9±0.2 h, and high total plasma and blood clearances of 691±216 ml/min and 716±199 ml/min, respectively. The fast decline of plasma levels from about 60 to 2 ng/ml accounts for the short-lasting reversal of benzodiazepine-induced sedation by Ro 15-1788.

    Studies of the bioavailability of nitroglycerin from a transdermal therapeutic system (Nitroderm TTS) (1984)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1432-1041
    Keywords: nitroglycerin ; plasma concentration ; transdermal administration ; bioavailability ; pharmacodynamics ; healthy volunteers
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary In 6 healthy volunteers, intravenous infusions of nitroglycerin 4.8 and 10.6 µg/min yielded mean steady-state plasma concentrations of 0.5±0.02 and 0.82±0.04 ng/ml as determined by a gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric method. The plasma concentrations reached in the same subjects 17 h after application of Nitroderm TTS 5 and 10 with in vivo release rates of 3.7 and 5.7 µg/min were 0.28±0.01 and 0.37±0.01 ng/ml, respectively. Thus, 75% of the quantity of nitroglycerin released by the systems passed into the circulation. The inter-individual and intra-individual variations in plasma concentrations were similar for both modes of administration. The nitroglycerin-induced morphological changes in the fingerpulse wave were clearly dose-dependent, but it seems that this pharmacodynamic parameter is determined less by the plasma concentration than by the nitroglycerin content of the vascular wall.

    Keywords: disodium chromoglycate ; nasal airway resistance ; platelet activating factor ; healthy volunteers ; rhinomanometry

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary Thirteen healthy subjects participated in a double blind, randomized, cross-over investigation of whether or not intranasal disodium chromoglycate could block the change in nasal airway resistance induced by platelet activating factor (PAF). Placebo or active drug was given for 3 days before intranasal challenge with PAF. Nasal airway resistance before and at intervals after callenge was determined with a rhinomanometer. Pretreatment with disodium chromoglycate blocked the decrease in nasal airway resistance induced by PAF. This indicates an alternative mode of action of disodium chromoglycate in the treatment of allergic airway diseases.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of canrenone and ‘total metabolites’ after base hydrolysis was studied in eight young volunteers following single and multiple dose oral administration of spironolactone. The plasma levels of canrenone and ‘total metabolites’ were fitted to a two-compartment open model with a first-order absorption process. From our eight normal subjects studied, the harmonic mean of the distributive half-life (t1/2α) of canrenone was found to be 1.66 h, and the harmonic mean of the terminal elimination half-life (t1/2β) to be 22.6 h. Harmonic means of the distributive and elimination half-lives of ‘total metabolites’ after base hydrolysis were 2.48 h and 28.8 h respectively. The accumulation ratio of canrenone was 2.53, whereas that of ‘total metabolites’ was 1.89. Despite the fact that spironolactone has been shown to induce hepatic metabolism of other drugs, no evidence of autoinduction was noted in the present study, as plasma levels of canrenone and ‘total metabolites’ were found to obey a linear two-compartment model with reproducible absorption and disposition after single and multiple doses.

    Influence of alaproclate on antipyrine metabolite formation in man (1984)

    Notes: Summary Alaproclate, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, presently undergoing clinical trial for the treatment of major depressive disorders, has been shown to inhibit hexobarbital metabolism in mice. In the present study the influence of oral alaproclate on the total plasma clearance of antipyrine and on the formation of its metabolites was investigated in 10 healthy volunteers. The peak level of alaproclate was reached after about 1.5 h, and after a distribution phase, its plasma elimination half-life was between 3.0 and 3.5 h. Antipyrine tests were performed before treatment, during the first four doses and after the seventh dose of alaproclate 200 mg/day. During treatment, total plasma antipyrine clearance and the clearance for production of all antipyrine metabolites were reduced by 30%, indicating non-selective inhibition of oxidative drug-metabolizing enzyme activity in man by alaproclate. After the last dose of alaproclate, antipyrine plasma clearance and the clearance to its metabolites returned to control values. In order to allow more detailed evaluation of the results, the time course of the clearances for production of metabolites was investigated. This revealed that the extent of inhibition of metabolite formation by alaproclate was dependent on the plasma alaproclate level, indicating a rapidly reversible inhibition.

    Notes: Summary A515U (6-deoxyacyclovir) is an analogue of acyclovir devoid of antiviral activity in vitro but which is well absorbed and undergoes conversion to acyclovir after oral administration to rats. The tolerance and pharmacokinetics of various doses of A515U have been studied in 8 healthy volunteers. Single oral doses of 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg A515U and 400 mg acyclovir for comparison were administered to the volunteers at weekly intervals. Concentrations of the parent drug and acyclovir were determined in plasma and urine. The prodrug was well tolerated and did not cause adverse reactions or changes in haematological or biochemical variables. It was well absorbed and conversion to acyclovir was rapid and extensive at all doses. Plasma concentrations of acyclovir achieved with 50 mg A515U orally were comparable to and less variable than those produced by 400 mg acyclovir. A515U was rapidly cleared with a short plasma elimination half life of approximately 0.5 h. The attainment of high plasma concentrations of acyclovir by oral administration of a prodrug may represent an important advance in antiviral chemotherapy.
