    Notes: Abstract In the DSC technique, isothermal crystallization experiments are usually performed on thin flat specimens, but their interpretation generally uses theories developed for an unbounded volume. In this paper, isothermal crystallization of spherical entities in the volume limited by two parallel infinite planes is considered. Our model, derived from Avrami's theory, gives an analytical expression for the transformed volume fraction as a function of time. It is shown that the influence of thickness becomes important when thickness becomes of the order of or smaller than the average spherulite radius. The main effects of a decreasing thickness are a slower crystallization kinetics and a decrease in the Avrami exponent. These results can be used to interpret experimental data obtained in isothermal polymer crystallization.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization of polyamide-6 (PA6) containing titania was studied by means of DSC. It was found thatTiO 2 causes an acceleration in the crystallization of polyamide-6 and lowers the value of the Avrami exponent,n. The presence of TiO2 does not affect equilibrium melting pointT m 0 , glass temperatureT g, or surface free energiesσ e andσ of the basal and lateral surfaces.

    Keywords: Carbon dioxide ; hydrolysis ; aqueous solution ; kinetics ; activation volume
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The pressure dependence of the dehydration reaction of H2CO3 was measured in acidic aqueous solution for pressures up to 1 kbar using a high-pressure stopped-flow instrument. The corresponding volume of activation was found to be 6.4±0.4 cm3-mol−1 at 25°C and 0.5 ionic strength. Volume equation calculations result in a value of −9.9±1.9cm3-mol−1 for the volume of activation for the hydrolysis of CO2 under the same conditions. For the first time, the reaction mechanism can be interpreted in terms of dissociative and associative modes, respectively. These data are used to construct an overall reaction volume profile.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Equations describing the temperature jump amplitudes associated with a system of two coupled reactions (TRIS-phenol red) as well as the ternary system (Mg2+-iminodiacetic acid-phenol red) are presented. The termodynamic parameters calculated from experimentally measured temperature perturbation amplitudes using a multiparametric curve fitting procedure are found to be in good agreement with those determined from pH- and costant rate thermometric titrations. For phenol red, pK I =7.55, ΔH I =3.45 kcal, and for Mg2+ iminodiacetic acid, log K M =2.84, ΔH M =3.25 kcal, were obtained. It is shown that this method can be used to determine accurate thermodynamic enthalpy changes over a narrow temperature interval of less than 1.0°C from a single experiment requiring about 50 μl of sample solution.

    Rate and thermodynamic studies of the interaction between water and iso-butyl cellosolve by ultrasonic methods (1983)

    ISSN: 1572-8927
    Keywords: Ultrasonics ; kinetics ; aqueous solution ; iso-butyl cellosolve
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Ultrasonic absorption and velocity measurements in aqueous solution of iso-butyl cellosolve (ethylene glycol iso-butyl ether) as a function of the concentration are reported. The two relaxational absorptions have been attributed to the perturbation of the equilibria expressed by AB⇌A+B and Aα(1/n)An where A is the solute, B is the solvent, AB is the complex and A n is the solute aggregate. The rate constants for each step have been determined. From the concentration dependence of the maximum excess absorption per wave length, the enthalpy change and the volume change for the reaction between the solute and the solvent have been determined for aqueous solutions of butyl cellosolve (ethylene glycol n-butyl ether), iso-butyl cellosolve and propyl cellosolve (ethylene glycol n-propyl ether). The results are consistent with a hydrogen bonding reaction. The effect of the ethers on water structure are considered and it is clear that the fraction of water molecules which can hydrogen bond to the solute decreases with the increasing hydrophobicity of the solute.

    Notes: Abstract The conditions under which the Picker flow microcalorimeter can be used to measure enthalpies and rates of reactions were investigated. For this purpose, systematic studies were made of the enthalpies of neutralization of HCl, HBr, HNO 3 , acetic, proprionic, and butyric acids with NaOH, enthalpies of hydrolysis of methyl and ethyl acetate with NaOH, and the reaction rates of the ester hydrolysis with NaOH. The general procedure and various sources of error are discussed and it is concluded that enthalpies of slow reactions can be measured to about 1% when the calorimeter is operated in the quasi-isothermal mode and the reaction rates to about 3% when operated in the quasi-adiabatic mode.

    Cimetidine-phenytoin interaction: Effect on serum phenytoin concentration and antipyrine test (1981)

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary In a prospective study in nine patients the effects of phenytoin and of cimetidine (1000mg/day) + phenytoin on the antipyrine test and serum phenytoin concentrations were studied. Serum phenytoin increased from the steady state level of 5.7±1.3 mg/l to 9.1±1.4mg/l after three weeks on cimetidine (p〈0.01), and fell to 5.8±1.2 mg/l within two weeks after withdrawal of cimetidine. The protein binding of phenytoin was not changed by cimetidine. After use of phenytoin for 2–4 months, antipyrine clearance increased from 0.67±0.06ml/min/kg to 1.61±0.22 ml/ min/kg, and antipyrine half-live fell from 10.9±1.3h to 4.5±0.6h as compared to the values before phenytoin treatment (p〈0.01). After three weeks combined use of cimetidine and phenytoin, antipyrine clearance was decreased to 1.01±0.07 ml/min/kg and antipyrine half-life was prolonged to 6.1±0.5h, (p〈0.01) compared to the values on phenytoin alone. The distribution volume of antipyrine was not affected by phenytoin nor by cimetidine + phenytoin. The half-life of cimetidine was 2.8±0.3h in the patients on longterm phenytoin treatment. There was a significant positive correlation (p〈0.001) between the increase in serum phenytoin concentration and the prolongation of antipyrine half-life caused by cimetidine. Thus, cimetidine increases serum phenytoin concentration, very probably by inhibiting its metabolism. Care should be taken in the concomitant use of cimetidine and phenytoin, and the dose of phenytoin should be modified according to the clinical symptoms and serum phenytoin concentrations.

    Notes: Summary The plasma profile of a single oral dose of pinazepam 10 mg was studied in 6 healthy male volunteers, aged 26 to 31 years. The concentrations of the parent compound and of its metabolite in plasma were measured by gas-chromatography. The peak plasma levels of pinazepam was 36.8±5.1 ng/ml and of N-desmethyldiazepam 150±13.3 ng/ml. The plasma concentration of the metabolite become higher than that of the parent compound shortly after administration, suggesting that pinazepam acts as a prodrug.

    Notes: Summary Oxcarbazepine (oxcarb) 600 and 900 mg (2360 and 3540 µmol) was taken by 3 volunteers (2 ♀, 1 ♂; 45–67 kg; age 22–34 years) after an overnight fast. Blood, saliva and urine were collected for the next 72 h for assay of oxcarb, 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy-carbamazepine (OHcarb), and 10,11-dihydrotrans-10,11-dihydroxy-carbamazepine (diol). Oxcarb reached a maximum level of about 1 µg/ml (3.93 µmol/l) within 1 h and dropped below the detection limit (0.1 µg/ml=0.39 µmol/l) within 3 h. The active metabolite OHcarb appeared in the blood before oxcarb and reached the higher maximum level of 7.4 µg/ml (29 µmol/l) after 7 h. Thereafter serum levels decreased with a t1/2 of about 25 h, and after 40 h with a t1/2 of 9 h, the latter agreeing with the renal excretory t1/2 calculated from the urine data (10 h). The ratio of OHcarb concentration in saliva to that in plasma varied considerably (0.3–1.7; median 1; r〉0.9), whereas that of blood to plasma was 1.25 with only small variation (r〉0.98); OHcarb concentrations in erythrocytes were 50% higher than in plasma. Diol was detected in blood (maximum level 0.5 µg/ml=1.84 µmol/l) in 2 volunteers. 45% of the dose could be recovered in urine (Oxcarb 5%, OH-carb 36%, Diol 4%). Whereas Oxcarb was completely conjugated, only 25% of OHcarb was conjugated and diol was unconjugated.

    Notes: Summary The disposition of oral metoprolol was studied in 5 women during the last trimester of pregnancy and 3 to 5 months after delivery. After a single oral dose of 100 mg the individual peak plasma concentration in the pregnant state was only 20–40% of that after pregnancy. The plasma half-lives of metoprolol were about the same during (average 1.3 h) and after pregnancy (average 1.7 h). By contrast, the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve was much smallerduring (mean 262 nmol/l×h) thanafter (mean 1298 nmol/l×h) pregnancy, resulting in an average apparent oral clearance (Clo) of metoprolol that was 4.4times higher during (362 ml×kg−1 body-weight×min−1) than after pregnancy. The increased Clo in pregnancy is assumed to be due to enhanced hepatic metabolism of the drug. The possible clinical consequence of the difference in the disposition of metoprolol is discussed.

    Notes: Summary After an initial placebo period of four weeks 24 patients with primary hypertension were treated with prizidilol, a hydrazinopyridazine derivative with combined vasodilator and non-selective beta-adrenoceptor blocking actions, for a dose titration period of 14 weeks. Prizidilol 200 to 800 mg was given once daily to achieve a target supine diastolic blood pressure (BP)〈90 mmHg. Supine and standing BP recorded 24–27 h after drug intake decreased from 172±17/106±6 mmHg (mean±SD) and 167±18/111±8 mmHg, respectively, after placebo to 159±16/99±8 and 154±18/101±9 mmHg after active treatment for six weeks (mean dose 447 mg), and to 154±16/97±7 and 148±14/97±7 mmHg after treatment for 14 weeks (mean dose 687 mg/day). A slight reduction in HR was seen after treatment for six weeks and in plasma renin activity and urinary methoxycatecholamine excretion after treatment for 14 weeks. A sustained decrease in BP was observed for 10 h after prizidilol 800 mg (n=9), with a maximum antihypertensive effect (mean reduction in supine BP 33/18 mmHg) 2.5 h after dosing, which coincided with the mean peak plasma concentration. The plasma elimination half-life of the drug was 3.9 h (range 2.0–8.9 h). Changing to a twice daily regimen in 17 patients (mean daily dose 748 mg at six months) did not produce any further reduction in the BP (recorded 12–15 h after dosing) as compared to the once daily regimen at 14 weeks. During treatment for up to 24 months, 16 patients did not achieve satisfactory BP control. Eight of them were withdrawn and eight received additional treatment with bendroflumethiazide (2.5–5 mg/day). In 7 of the latter satisfactory BP control was achieved. Side effects were few. Dizziness and tiredness occurred in four patients 2–5 h after prizidilol 600–800 mg once daily. These symptoms partly subsided when the subjects changed to a twice daily regimen. No ocular side-effects were found. Before treatment 13 out of 24 patients had a low titre of IgM antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and one patient also a low titre of IgG ANA. During treatment the frequency of patients with positive ANA-titres became higher, and after treatment for 12 months (n=17) 15 patients had positive IgM and seven patients positive IgG ANA-titres. However, the titres were low and no patient showed a clinical lupus erythematosus syndrome. There was no relation between acetylator phenotype of the patient and acute or longterm effecton BP, pharmacokinetics of the drug or the development of a raised ANA-titre.

    Notes: Summary The plasma and whole blood kinetics of chloroquine was studied in 7 normal and 8 undernourished subjects following a single oral dose of 600 mg. The terminal half-lives were similar in both groups. The AUC was also similar in the 2 groups, even though a higher dose per kg body weight was administered to the undernourished. This was probably because of faster clearance in this group. Chloroquine uptake by erythrocytes, its main site of action in malaria, was also comparable in the two groups. The plasma concentration of chloroquine over a period of time was found to be similar in 4 normal and 4 undernourished subjects following administration of 1.5 g of the drug in divided doses. The undernourished appear, therefore, to handle chloroquine in such a way that they do not suffer a greater risk of toxicity than normals.

    Notes: Summary Oral theophylline was given to 6 adults with airways obstruction. The initial dose was 125 mg daily and this was increased by 125 mg each week. The final total daily dose reached was determined by side effects and ranged from 500 mg to 1125 mg. At the end of each week and before the next dosage increment steady state, trough plasma theophylline concentrations were measured. For each individual and for the group as a whole there was a highly significant linear correlation between theophylline dose and trough plasma concentration. This indicates that for oral theophylline, in adults, dose-dependent kinetics do not play a significant role and dose may be adjusted without fear of a disproportionate rise in plasma concentration.

    Notes: Summary We studied three healthy volunteers after a single i.v. bolus of amiodarone, during 1 month of chronic oral dosing and after the discontinuation of the drug. Blood concentrations of amiodarone declined rapidly in a bi-exponential fashion after i.v. bolus. The terminal half-life ranged from 10 to 17 h; after discontinuation of chronic treatment the terminal half-lives were 8–21 days. The i.v. data, the trough levels during multiple dosing and the washout phase could be simultaneously fitted using a tri-exponential equation. The subjects were carefully monitored for cardiac and thyroid function. One subject had to stop taking amiodarone because of profound bradycardia. A reduction of serum TT3 and FT3 concentrations and an increase of serum rT3 and FT4 was found.

    Influence of food and age on the single-dose kinetics and effects of tolbutamide and chlorpropamide (1980)

    Notes: Summary The influence of food intake (standardized breakfast) on the oral single-dose kinetics and effects of tolbutamide (0.5 g) and chlorpropamide (250 mg) was investigated in young, healthy volunteers. The single-dose kinetics of the two drugs was also studied in elderly healthy subjects. There was great interindividual variation in the elimination rate of both drugs, but food intake influenced neither their AUCs nor their rates of absorption and elimination. The peak concentration of chlorpropamide, but not that of tolbutamide, was reduced by food intake. The peak concentrations of serum tolbutamide were approximately doubled by an increase in dose from 0.5 to 1.0 g, and from 1.0 to 2.0 g. At no time did tolbutamide 0.5 g affect the plasma insulin level, neither in the fasting nor in the non-fasting state. However, this dose did reduce the blood glucose level during fasting and the increase in blood glucose in response to the meal. The latter effect was recorded within 30 min, when the serum level of tolbutamide still was close to zero. Plasma insulin concentrations did increase within 30 min after a higher dose of tolbutamide (1.0 g), when the serum concentration of tolbutamide was about 50 µmol/l. Between 2.5 and 8 h after administration of chlorpropamide 250 mg, serum drug concentrations were lower than those following tolbutamide 0.5 g. The blood glucose response was smaller and occurred later, being significant at 2 h, when the serum concentration of the drug was about 70 µmol/l. There was no significant change in plasma insulin. There was no significant pharmacokinetic difference between young and elderly subjects, except that the peak concentration of tolbutamide was higher in the latter. It appears that both for tolbutamide and chlorpropamide there is great interindividual variation in drug disposition, but food intake does not influence the bioavailability of either drug. The effect of any particular drug concentration seems dependent upon the blood glucose level and hence upon the elapsed time since the last meal. Both drugs can reduce blood glucose without an alteration in the peripheral blood concentration of insulin. This may reflect an extrapancreatic effect of the drugs, but it could also be an expression of increased insulin secretion, which is not detected because of enhanced hepatic degradation of the hormone released into the portal circulation. The observations made in young individuals are also probably relevant for elderly subjects.

    Notes: Summary In an attempt to assess whether intake of glibenclamide before meals would improve its therapeutic capacity, the present investigation compared the effect of glibenclamide 2.5mg t.i.d. given before and together with meals. In addition, these effects were compared with that of glibenclamide given as a single morning dose of 7.5mg. The subjects studied were six Type 2 diabetics not previously exposed to sulphonylurea drugs. Irrespective of dosage and mode of administration, addition of glibenclamide to a standardized breakfast, lunch and dinner enhanced plasma IRI concentrations and reduced blood glucose concentrations as compared to administration of meals without the drug. The different modes of glibenclamide administration did not differ significantly with respect to IRI responses. However, the blood glucose reduction after breakfast was significantly greater when glibenclaimde 2.5mg had been given before the meal than when 2.5 or 7.5mg were given with the meal; a similar, but non-significant tendency was observed after lunch; no consistent difference was seen after dinner. Food intake did not affect glibenclamide kinetics. It appears that administration of glibenclamide 2.5mg before breakfast improved glucose utilization following the breakfast load, due to earlier attainment of an effective concentration of glibenclamide.

    Notes: Summary Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a strong, irreversible inhibitor of platelet aggregation, but loses this activity following first-pass deacetylation to salicylic acid (SA). In order to compare the bioavailability of unchanged ASA from rapid- and slow-release formulations, the single-dose concentration profiles of ASA and SA were studied in healthy volunteers following intake of two different rapid-release (conventional and effervescent tablets) and three different slow-release (microencapsulated ASA in tablets and in capsules, and enteric-coated tablets) formulations of ASA, and of one slow-release formulation of sodium salicylate. Since anti-platelet therapy with ASA is often combined with dipyridamol, the influence of this drug was also examined. The concentrations of ASA and SA were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography. While the bioavailability of SA from the 5 ASA formulations was essentially equal and similar to that of the salicylate formulation, the bioavailability and peak concentrations of ASA appeared to be the much greater after rapid-release than after slow-release formulations. Indeed, ASA was only rarely detected in systemic blood following intake of slow-release ASA. Co-administered dipyridamol did not significantly influence the kinetics of ASA or SA. It appears that rapid-release formulations of ASA should be prefered in anti-platelet therapy, either alone or in combination with dipyridamol.

    Notes: Summary To evaluate the possible effect of quinidine on digoxin bioavailability, the steady state digoxin kinetics was examined with and without concomitant quinidine therapy, in 7 cardiac patients after simultaneous administration of oral digoxin and intravenous [3H]-digoxin. In the presence of quinidine, the absorption rate constant of digoxin (ka) increased from 2.72±1.04 to 3.53±1.34 h−1 (p〈0.05), whereas lag time and peak time decreased from 0.16±0.10 to 0.05±0.04 h (p〈0.05) and from 0.92±0.27 to 0.69±0.19 h (p〈0.02), respectively. Predose plasma digoxin increased from 0.41±0.25 to 0.70±0.31 ng/ml (p〈0.02), while peak plasma digoxin increased from 0.93±0.34 to 1.63±0.46 ng/ml (p〈0.02). The systemic availability of digoxin increased from 68.48±13.35 to 79.09±14.89% (p〈0.05) in the presence of quinidine. Quinidine had no effect on the biotransformation pattern of digoxin, as assessed by thin layer chromatography. Quinidine increases the rate and extent of digoxin absorption, and this interaction contributes significantly to the elevation in plasma digoxin during both its distribution and elimination phases.

    Notes: Summary The feasibility of giving a supplementary starting dose of the antiarrhythmic drug lorcainide, in order to minimalize the impact of the extensive, but saturable first-pass metabolism, was evaluated. Twenty-five adult patients were given 100 mg lorcainide tablets according to one of 3 different dosage schedules: Eight patients took one tablet at 0, 12 and 24h, 8 took 1 tablet at 0, 1, 12 and 24h and 9 took 1 tablet at 0, 2, 12 and 24h. Levels of lorcainide and its metabolite, nor-lorcainide, during treatment were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The results show that giving a second tablet 1 or 2h after the first may produce faster saturation of the pre-systemic metabolism of lorcainide in the liver.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of acebutolol and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) alone or in combination were studied in 12 healthy subjects in a cross over study. Acebutolol and diacetolol (the main metabolite) in plasma and urine were determined by HPLC and hydrochlorothiazide by GLC. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of acebutolol did not differ significantly: AUC 4492±272 µg l−1 h given alone versus 4118±354 µg l−1 h with HCT, half-life (7,69±0,32 h vs 8,10±0,72 h) and renal clearance (13,1±0,5 lh−1 vs 13,8±0,9 lh−1), respectively. There was no difference in diacetolol pharmacokinetics. HCT values were not significantly different: AUC 784±48 µg l−1 h given alone and 720±42 µg l−1 h with acebutolol, t1/2 (4,79±0,37 h vs 4,73±0,43 h). The renal clearance was slightly higher when HCT was given with acebutolol (26,2±2,6 vs 20,3±2,11 h−1,p〈0,05). This increase, observed during the first four hours, was probably due to competition between the drugs for binding to red blood cells.

    Notes: Summary To study the effects of enzyme induction on its pharmacokinetics, a single oral dose of the new antiarrhythmic agent mexiletine hydrochloride 400 mg was administered to 8 healthy volunteers before and after treatment with rifampicin 300 mg b.i.d. for ten days. The absorption and distribution of mexiletine were not changed after rifampicin, but its elimination half-life fell from 8.5±0.8 h (mean±SE) to 5.0±0.4 h (p〈0.01), and its nonrenal clearance increased from 435±68 ml/min to 711±101 ml/min (p〈0.01). The mean renal clearance of mexiletine did not change, but it showed an exponential correlation with urinary pH. The amount of unchanged mexiletine excreted in urine over two days decreased from 32±7 to 18±3 mg (p〈0.01). The half-life of antipyrine fell from 11.8±0.4 to 5.5±0.3 h and its clearance increased from 40±3 ml to 74±3 ml/min (p〈0.01). There was a significant (p〈0.05) positive linear correlation between both the half-lives and the clearances of antipyrine and mexiletine. The clearances were positively correlated with serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. The results suggest that the dosage of mexiletine should be adjusted when enzyme inducing drugs are started or stopped during therapy with it.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of phenobarbital (PB) were evaluated in six normal subjects and six epileptic patients treated with phenytoin or carbamazepine. Each normal subject received three single doses of PB: PB-sodium 130 mg i.v. (IV), PB sodium 130 mg i.m. (IM), and PB acid 100 mg orally (PO), in random order at least one month apart. After IV PB distributive half-lives varied from 0.13 to 0.70 h, disposition half-lives were 75 to 126 h, steady state volume of distribution (Vss) was 0.54±0.03 l/kg, and clearance (CL) was 3.8±0.77 ml/h/kg. Absolute bioavailability of IM PB was 101±13%, of PO PB (corrected for dose) 100±11%. Peak serum PB concentrations were achieved from 2 to 8 h after IM administration, and from 0.5 to 4 h after PO administration. Epileptic patients exhibited similar PB kinetics: disposition half-lives were 77 to 128 h, Vss 0.61±0.05 l/kg, and Cl 3.9±0.76 ml/h/kg. Phenobarbital appears to represent an exception among antiepileptic drugs, in that pharmacokinetic data obtained in normals can reasonably be extrapolated to the epileptic population.

    Notes: Summary The absorption and disposition of metoprolol have been evaluated in 10 healthy, non-smoking, elderly individuals (mean age 73.1 years) by simultaneous determination of [3H]-metoprolol and unlabelled metoprolol. The labelled drug was given as an intravenous tracer dose, immediately followed by oral metoprolol 25 mg. The experiment was preceded by administration of metoprolol 25 mg b.i.d. for 3 days. The volume of distribution, elimination half-life and total body clearance were almost the same as previously observed in healthy, young subjects. The mean systemic availability was about 39% in the elderly, which is lower than the mean of 55% observed in a control group of young volunteers who received 50 mg b.i.d. In the elderly, the mean plasma concentration of α-OH-metoprolol was about twice as high as that of the parent drug, whereas the opposite was true of the control group. The results indicate that age-related physiological changes have a negligible effect on the pharmacokinetics of metoprolol.

    Notes: Summary Cinromide is an experimental anticonvulsant currently in phase II testing. A single oral dose (900 mg) of cinromide was administered to 8 epileptic subjects on phenytoin therapy. Plasma samples drawn during the next 36 h were analyzed for cinromide and its amide and acid metabolites. The absorption rate of cinromide varied widely between subjects producing maximum cinromide concentrations between 0.5 and 2.5 h after the dose. The median elimination half lives of cinromide and the amide and acid metabolites were 0.73, 1.65, and 4.85 h respectively. The oral clearance of cinromide (median=135 l/h) suggests that it is subject to first pass metabolism. In all subjects the area under the curve (AUC) of acid metabolite (632 to 1777 µM/l) was greater than the AUC of amide metabolite (77 to 185 µM/l) which was greater than the AUC of cinromide (5 to 89 µM/l). Steady-state concentration ratios of metabolite to parent drug predicted from the AUC data were 3.8 for the amide and 35.8 for the acid metabolite. The amide metabolite is known to have anticonvulsant properties and, until the relative contributions of metabolites and parent drug to the efficacy of cinromide are resolved, the monitoring of metabolites as well as parent drug is imperative.

    Notes: Summary The kinetic profiles of oral methimazole 40mg, propranolol 80mg, metoprolol 100mg and atenolol 100mg were compared in hyperthyroid patients both during the hyper-and euthyroid states. For methimazole, neither the peak concentration (Cmax), the time to reach peak concentration (tmax), the elimination half-life (t1/2) nor the area under the curve (AUC) value was affected by the hyperthyroid state. For propranolol and metoprolol, which undergo extensive presystemic clearance, the AUC values were lower (p〈0.02) when the patients were hyperthyroid than when they had become euthyroid, but the t1/2's were not significantly altered. For atenolol, there were no significant kinetic differences between the hyperthyroid and euthyroid states. The findings are compatible with the assumption that hyperthyroidism does not affect the kinetics of methimazole or atenolol, but that it may enhance presystemic clearance of propranolol and metoprolol.

    Notes: Summary A single dose of glibenclamide 5 mg was administered to six Type 2 diabetics, randomly treated for 7 days either with acarbose (3×100 mg daily) or with placebo. The serum concentration of the drug was measured for 10 h. Peak concentrations, times-to-peak concentration, elimination half-lives and the extent of bioavailability of the drug were not significantly modified by acarbose. The combined administration of glibenclamide and acarbose resulted in a modest improvement in the blood glucose profile after breakfast and lunch, together with a significant diminution in plasma insulin. Thus, acarbose appears a useful additional treatment for Type 2 diabetics already receiving sulphonylurea derivatives.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics and disposition of chloroquine (CQ) and its metabolite monodesethylchloroquine (CQM) were investigated in 5 healthy volunteers after incremental (150–300–600 mg CQ base) single oral doses of CQ. The analytical method used (HPLC and fluorescence detection) is the most sensitive known method for CQ and CQM. Plasma and whole blood concentrations of CQ, CQM and a third metabolite, bidesethylchloroquine (CQMM), were determined. The kinetics of CQ was found to be unique. The best fit was obtained by a multicompartmental model. The biological half-life appeared to be between 30–60 days; the volume of distribution (Vd) was ∼ 800l/kg, and the clearance ∼ 11/h/kg when calculated from plasma data. The whole blood concentrations were ∼ 8–10 times higher than in plasma, and consequently the Vd and whole blood clearance were ∼ 10 times lower. The kinetics changed as the dose was increased. An indication of capacity-limited steps in CQ disposition was found, as the rate constants decreased even though the clearance remained the same. The intrinsic half-life of CQM was 1/4 of that of CQ, but was prolonged after the highest dose of CQ. The present knowledge of CQ kinetics could provide a basis for revision of current dosage regimens in malaria suppression and rheumatoid disease to ensure efficacious and safe therapy.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of furosemide was evaluated in 12 newborns who received the drug transplacentally, and in 21 neonates who received it directly for therapeutic reasons. In the first group, the apparent plasma half-lives ranged from 96 to 6.8 h with a significant inverse relationship (p〈0.01) between the gestational age and the elimination rate. In two cases a clear effect on diuresis was also observed. In the neonates receiving the drug i.v. for therapeutic reasons, the elimination kinetics appeared to follow a two-compartment open model, with a significant difference in the therminal plasma half-life between premature (26.8±12.2 h) and full-term newborns (13.4±8.6 h). In this group no relationship was observed between elimination rate and either gestational or conceptional age. In the case of repeated administration, an increase in plasma clearance and reduction in t1/2 β was noticed.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic of azlocillin was followed in five elderly patients after biliary surgery. Total clearance was 138.6±17.7 ml/min when 2.0 g was given as an i.v. bolus injection. The half-life of the β-phase averaged 110 min. The total clearance and the half-life of azlocillin were influenced by slight impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance 59.4±13.6 ml/min). In patients with normal liver function biliary excretion of the drug amounted to 5.3±2.8% of the dose (n=3) and the kinetics of biliary excretion were linear. In contrast, in two patients with impaired liver function biliary excretion was 0.2% and 0.5% of the dose, and kinetic analysis of biliary excretion rates revealed at least one zero order step in the excretion process. Renal excretion of the drug amounted to 45.0±17.7% of the dose, which means that 50% of the total clearance of azlocillin has to be accounted for by metabolic clearance.

    Notes: Summary Single oral doses of (+)-, (−)- and (±)-bufuralol were administered to a healthy volunteer to compare the disposition and metabolism of the individual isomers and the racemate. Plasma levels and area under plasma curve (AUC) of the active isomer, (−)-bufuralol, were higher than those of the (+)-isomer; plasma clearance was correspondingly lower. Intermediate values were found for the racemate. The elimination half-life of (−)-bufuralol was shorter than that of (+)-bufuralol, but similar to the racemate. Both isomers were cleared almost entirely by metabolism. The main metabolic pathway for (−)-bufuralol was aromatic hydroxylation, whereas the principal route for (+)-bufuralol was conjugation. Phenol metabolites in the systemic circulation were present mainly as conjugates. Both isomers also underwent aliphatic hydroxylation. This pathway was more favoured by the (+)-isomer, although plasma levels and AUC of the principal product, 2′-hydroxy-bufuralol, were almost identical for the two forms. Major differences in metabolic fate thus had relatively little effect on the disposition of pharmacologically active metabolites.

    Notes: Summary The claim that activated charcoal should be ineffective or even contraindicated in intoxication due to tolbutamide is based only on limited in vitro studies. To test the claim, the effect of activated charcoal 50 g on the absorption of tolbutamide and, as a reference, of sodium valproate, was studied in 6 healthy volunteers. Each volunteer swallowed tolbutamide 500 mg and sodium valproate 300 mg with 50 ml water 1 h after a light breakfast, and within 5 min they took in randomized order either a suspension of activated charcoal or water. The absorption of tolbutamide, calculated as the peak concentration and the area under the serum drug concentration-time curve during 0–48 h, was reduced by 90% by charcoal (p〈0.001). The absorption of valproate in these conditions was reduced on average by 65% (p〈0.01). In each subject charcoal had a greater effect on the absorption of tolbutamide than of valproate. According to these findings and preliminary in vitro studies on other sulphonylureas high doses of activated charcoal can be recommended for the preventing the absorption of sulphonylureas in acute intoxications. The poor aqueous solubility of these substances at the gastric pH probably delays their gastrointestinal absorption, so that they may be adsorbed on to charcoal even given several hours later.

    Notes: Summary The influence of sulfonylurea on the secretion, disposal and effect of insulin was studied in 9 Type 2 diabetics during 3 one-month courses of treatment with a) chlorpropamide (t1/2〉24 h) once daily, b) glipizide (t1/2=2–4 h) once daily, and c) glipizide in divided doses. Food intake by each patient was identical during each period. Blood concentrations of immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and C-peptide (radioimmunoassays), and of glucose (enzymatic assay), chlorpropamide (gas chromatography) and glipizide (high-pressure liquid chromatography) were determined before and after breakfast and lunch on the 4th day of each examination period. All comparisons were intraindividual. Despite the lunch-time dose of glipizide given during the divided dose treatment, once-daily administration of this drug led to higher drug concentrations not only after breakfast but also for the first few hours after lunch. Divided dosage, on the other hand, led to higher concentrations later. In contrast to once-daily dosage, continuous exposure to glipizide was found in most patients. Chlorpropamide gave the most continuous sulfonylurea exposure. The blood glucose levels were inversely related to the concurrent sulfonylurea concentrations; glucose levels after breakfast and lunch were lowest during once-daily glipizide, whereas the fasting level was lowest during chlorpropamide treatment. The IRI response to breakfast was 60%–70% higher during once-daily glipizide than during the other two treatments, but the C-peptide responses to breakfast were almost identical. Thus, the greater after-breakfast availability of peripheral insulin appeared to be due to an effect of glipizide on the extrapancreatic disposal of the hormone.

    Notes: Summary Single-dose investigations in healthy subjects have demonstrated substantial impairment of renal and extrarenal clearance of digoxin during coadministration of verapamil. A longitudinal study has been performed to assess the changes in digoxin disposition during long-term verapamil therapy. After one week of verapamil 240 mg/d mean plasma digoxin had risen from 0.21±0.01 ng/ml (SE) to 0.34±0.01 ng/ml (p〈0.01), and renal digoxin clearance had fallen from 197.57±17.37 ml/min to 128.20±10.33 ml/min (p〈0.001). These changes gradually subsided, and after six weeks, renal digoxin clearance had normalized and plasma digoxin had declined to 0.27±0.02 ng/ml (NS). The 24-h urinary recovery of digoxin increased from 46.46±3.23% before to 69.78±3.69% (p〈0.001) after six weeks of verapamil co-administration, and this elevation persisted throughout the study. The verapamil-induced suppression of renal digoxin elimination disappears over a few weeks of drug exposure, whereas the inhibition of the extrarenal clearance of digoxin seems to persist.

    Notes: Abstract The plasma decomposition of NH3 has been studied as a function of the residence time, power input, and pressure. The process follows apparently zero-order kinetics, which can be interpreted on the basis of a kinetic mechanism involving as initial step the rupture of an N-H bond from vibro-rotationally excited modecules. Simultaneous spectroscopic observations of the emission light due to electronically excited NH2, NH, H, and N2 have been used to confirm the suggested mechanism and to show that NH2 and NH are successive intermediate species and that the final step of the decomposition process is the bimolecular recombination NH+NH→N2+H2.

    Notes: Abstract Flowing microwave plasma of propylene and propylene with argon was studied by mass spectrometry. Plasma composition was investigated as a function of external parameters such as pressure, argon/propylene ratio, and microwave-induced power. It was found that the propylene broke down to C2H2 and CH4, or reacted further with propylene. Two main products, leading to the determination of three main chain reactions for the polymerization of propylene by ion-molecule interactions, were observed, namely, C2H2 and CH4. These were the propylene, acetylene, and ethylene chain reactions. It was also found that the propylene disappeared in a pseudo-first-order reaction. Consequently an overall rate constant for the polymerization was determined (50 sec−1 at 1 torr pressure for propylene plasma). This constant is found to be linearly dependent upon the propylene percent concentration, and nonlinearly dependent upon plasma pressure.

    Notes: Abstract Comparisons were made of the renal ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) activities within different groups of chickens including Japanese native breeds. OTC activities varied markedly within these groups. The Cochin Bantam breed and White Leghorn B line had an especially high activity, about 400 units/g of kidney, in contrast to two Japanese native breeds, Japanese Game (white variety) and Banshuu Gashiwa, and the California Gray breed, which showed a very low activity, the values being almost undetectable. In crossing experiments using the California Gray breed as a tester strain, Cochin Bantam OTC represents a simple autosomal incompletely dominant trait similar to the White Leghorn B line OTC. Kinetic studies using partially purified OTC preparations from the White Leghorn B line and Cochin Bantam breed revealed that both enzymes were identical for a variety of enzymic characteristics. In light of these results, the physiological significance of chick kidney OTC is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The mechanism of activation by inorganic phosphate and ATP of cardiac muscle pyruvate kinase was studied with the aid of steady-state kinetics. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity to a final specific activity of 400 units/ mg (phosphate buffer, pH 7.6, 25 °C). At pH 7.6 the enzyme displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to both its substrates, phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP. Substrate kinetic constants are: app.Km(phosphoenolpyruvate) −0.04 mM, app.Km(ADP) =0.22 mM. Under the conditions used in the standard assay the specific activity is greatly enhanced by inorganic phosphate (50 mM) or ATP (2.5 mM). Each of these modifiers, acting separately, increases the Vmax without seriously affecting Michaelis constants and Hill coefficients. In the presence of both Pi and ATP, only a decrease in Vmax was observed. The kinetics of activation by inorganic phosphate of pyruvate kinase was examined. Studying the effect of varying concentrations of Pi on the initial rate we obtained a hyperbolic saturation curve with the app. Km(Pi) = 20 mM and Vmax = 167 units/ mg. The evidence is presented that inorganic phosphate is a substrate for a side reaction catalyzed by cardiac pyruvate kinase. It is shown that in the presence of pyruvate, inorganic phosphate and ATP in the assay system, Pi is incorporated into acid-labile products of this reaction, inorganic pyrophosphate being one of them. These findings indicate the existence of an alternative reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase by which energy may be stored in the form of inorganic pyrophosphate.

    Notes: Abstract Alcohol dehydrogenase activity in mouse liver homogenate-supernatants is 1.7 times greater in the C57BL/10 strain than in the BALB/c strain, regardless of whether activity is expressed in units per gram liver, total liver, or milligram DNA. The K m values for ethanol and NAD+, approximately 0.4 and 0.03mm, respectively, of enzyme purified from both strains are similar. Moreover, the K i for NADH, 1 µm, the pH optimum for ethanol oxidation, 10.5, and the V max for ethanol oxidation, 160 min−1, for ADH from the C57BL/10 and BALB/c strains are similar. Therefore, the difference in ADH activity in the two strains cannot be due to differences in the catalytic properties of the enzyme. The electrophoretic and isoelectric focusing patterns and two-dimensional tryptic peptide maps of the purified enzyme from both strains are identical. Thus the amino acid sequences of enzyme from C57BL/10 and BALB/c mice must also be identical or very similar. The difference in ADH activity in the two strains is most likely the result of genetic differences in the content of ADH protein in liver.

    Notes: Summary The effect of pressure upon the delayed, K, voltage-clamp currents of giant axons from the squidLoligo vulgaris was studied in axons treated with 300nm TTX to block the early, Na, currents. The effect of TTX remained unaltered by pressure. The major change produced by pressures up to 62 MPa is a slowing down of the rising phase of the K currents by a time scaling factor which depends on pressure according to an apparent activation volume, ΔV∓, of 31 cm3/mole at 15°C; ΔV∓ increased to about 42 cm3/mole at 5°C. Pressure slightly increased the magnitude, but did not produce any obvious major change in the voltage dependence, of the steady-state K conductance estimated from the current jump at the end of step depolarizations of small amplitude (to membrane potentials,E, ≦20 mV) and relatively short duration. At higher depolarizations, pressure produced a more substantial increase of the late membrane conductance, associated with an apparent enhancement of a slow component of the K conductance which could not be described within the framework of the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH)n 4 kinetic scheme. The apparent ΔV∓ values that characterize the pressure dependence of the early component of the K conductance are very close to those that describe the effect of pressure on Na activation kinetics, and it is conceivable that they are related to activation volumes involved in the isomerization of the normal K channels. The enhancement of the slow component of membrane conductance by pressure implies either a large increase in the conductance of the ionic channels that are responsible for it or a strong relative hastening of their turn-on kinetics.

    Notes: Summary The effects of hydrostatic pressures up to 62 MPa upon the voltage-clamp currents of intact squid giant axons were measured using mineral oil as the pressure transmitting medium. The membrane resistance and capacitance were not appreciably affected over the whole range of pressures explored. The predominant effect of pressure is to slow the overall kinetics of the voltage-clamp currents. Both the early (Na) currents and the delayed (K) ones were slowed down by approximately the same time scale factor, which was in the range of 2 to 3 when pressure was increased from atmospheric to 62 MPa. Finer details of the effects, most evident at moderate depolarizations, are: the apparent initial delay in the turn-on of Na currents is increased by pressureless than is the phase of steepest time variation, and the later decay is slowedmore than is the rising phase. The initial time course of the currents at high pressures can be made to overlap with that at normal pressure by a constant time compression factor, Θm, together with a small, voltage-dependent delay. In a given axon, Θm was fairly independent of voltage, and it increased exponentially with pressure according to an apparent activation volume, ΔV∓, ranging between 32 and 40 cm3/mole. ΔV∓ tended to decrease with increasing temperature. Contrary to what is observed for moderate or large depolarizations, the kinetics of Na inactivation produced by conditioning prepulses of −50 or −60 mV was little affected over the whole range of pressures explored. Inferences about the pressure dependence of the steady-state Na activation were made from the comparison of the plots of early peak currents,I p, versus membrane potential,E. The Na reversal potential,E Na, and the slope of the plots nearE Na did not change significantly with pressure, but the peak Na conductancevs. E relationship was shifted by about +9 mV upon increasing pressure to 62 MPa. Steady-state Na inactivation,h ∞, was slightly affected by pressure. At 62 MPa the midpoint potential of theh ∞ (E) curve,E h, was shifted negatively by about 4 mV, while the slope atE h decreased by about 38%. Under the tentative assumption that pressure directly affects the gating of Na channels, the Na activation data follows a simple Hodgkin-Huxley scheme if the opening of anm gate involves an activation volume of about 58 Å3 and a net volume increase of about 26 Å3. However, a self-consistent description of the totality of the effects of pressure on Na inactivation cannot be obtained within a similar simple context.

    Notes: Summary Na+, Li+, K+, Rb+, Br−, Cl− and SO 4 2− transport were studied in brush border membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit jejunum., Li+ uptakes were measured by flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy, and all others were measured using isotopic flux and liquid scintillation counting. All uptakes were performed with a rapid filtration procedure. A method is presented for separating various components of ion uptake: 1) passive diffusion, 2) mediated transport and 3) binding. It was concluded that a Na+/H+ exchange mechanism exists in the jejunal brush border. The exchanger was inhibited with 300 μm amiloride or harmaline. The kinetic parameters for sodium transport by this mechanism depend on the pH of the intravesicular solution. The application of a pH gradient (pHin=5.5, pHout=7.5) causes an increase inJ max (50 to 125 pmol/mg protein·sec) with no change inK t (≈4.5mm). Competition experiments show that other monovalent cations, e.g. Li+ and NH 4 + , share the Na+/H+ exchanger. This was confirmed with direct measurements of Li+ uptakes. Saturable uptake mechanisms were also observed for K+, Rb+ and SO 4 2− , but not for Br−. TheJ max for K+ and Rb+ are similar to theJ max for Na+, suggesting that they may share a transporter. The SO 4 2− system appears to be a Na+/SO 4 2− cotransport system. There does not appear to be either a Cl−/OH− transport mechanism of the type observed in ileum or a specific Na+/Cl− symporter.

    Notes: Summary A new analysis of the conventional carrier model shows that noncompetitive inhibitors can give rise to either competitive, noncompetitive or uncompetitive kinetics; the true mechanism and also the relative affinity of the inhibitor on each surface of the membrane can be decided from the patterns of inhibition observed in different transport experiments. The priciples governing the kinetics of inhibition apply to both reversible and irreversible inhibitors, for in either case the substrate may increase or decrease inhibition or be without effect. Ambiguity arises if the noncompetitive inhibitor acts on only one side of the membrane and if the substrate, in the course of being transported, alters the steady-state distribution of the carrier between inner and outer forms. In facilitated transport systems only equilibrium exchange should give rise to noncompetitive kinetics, whatever the location of the inhibitor. In active systems even the interpretation of exchange in the final steadystate is complicated if the energy-coupling mechanism produces a large displacement in the distribution of the free carrier or the substrate complex: the inhibition could be competitive or uncompetitive, depending on the location of the inhibitor. The actual mechanism is revealed in the uncoupled system.

    Notes: Summary Brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) purified from steer jejunum were used to study the kinetics of sodiumd-glucose cotransport under voltage clamped, zero-trans conditions. When the initial rate of glucose transport (J gluc) was measured over a wide range of glucose concentrations ([S]=0.01–20mm), curvature of the Woolf-Augustinsson-Hofstee plots was seen, compatible with a diffusional and one major, high capacity (maximal transport rateJ max=5.8–8.8 nmol/mg·min) saturable system. Further studies indicated that changes incis [Na] altered theK t , but not theJ max, suggesting the presence of a rapid-equilibrium, ordered bireactant system with sodium adding first.Trans sodium inhibitedJ gluc hyperbolically. KCl-valinomycin diffusion potentials, inner membrane face positive, loweredJ gluc, while potentials of the opposite polarity raiseJ gluc. At low glucose concentrations ([S]〈0.05mm), a second, minor, high affinity transport system was indicated. Further evidence for this second saturable system was provided by sodium activation curves, which were hyperbolic when [S]=0.5mm, but were sigmoidal when [S]=.0.01mm. Simultaneous fluxes of22Na and [3H]glucose at 1mm glucose and 30mm NaCl yielded a cotransport-dependent flux ratio of 2∶1 sodium/glucose, suggestive of 1∶1 (Na/glucose) high capacity, low affinity system and a ∼3∶1 (Na/glucose) high affinity, low capacity system. Kinetic experiments with rabbit jejunal brush borders revealed two major Na-dependent saturable systems. Extravesicular (cis) Na changed theK t , but not theJ max of the major system.

Increases in [Mn2+] 0 induced not only saturation of the peak ofI Mn but also shifts theI–V relationships along the voltage axis to the more positive potentials. Internal perfusion with F−, which blocks Ca channels, depressedI Mn. Diltiazem, an organic Ca blocker, inhibitedI Mn over the entire range of theI–V relation without shifting the threshold and peak voltage of theI–V relation. Co2+, Ni2+, Cd2+ and La3+ also suppressedI Mn. Relative maximum peak currents of the divalent cations wereI Ba=I Sr〉I Ca〉I Mn=I Zn. Time constants for activation (τ m ) and inactivation (τ h ) of these cations were voltage dependent, and both time constants were greater in the sequence ofI Mn=I Zn〉I Ba=I Sr〉I Ca over the whole voltage range.

    Notes: Summary The effects of methylation on the rate constants of carrier-mediated ion transport have been studied on monooleindecane bilayers with K+, Rb+, NH 4 + , and TI+ ions, using the series of homologue carriers, nonactin, monactin, dinactin, trinactin, and tetranactin, each member of the series differing from the previous one by only one methyl group. Measurements of the amplitude and time constant of the current relaxation after a voltage jump over a large domain of voltage and permeant ion concentration, together with a computer curve-fitting procedure, have allowed us, without the help of steady-state current-voltage data, to deduce and compare the values of the various rate constants for ion transport: formation (k Ri) and dissociation (k Di) of the ion-carrier complex at the interface, translocation across the membrane interior of the carrier (k s) and the complex (k is). With the additional information from steady-state low-voltage conductance measurements, we have obtained the value of the aqueous phase-membrane and torus-membrane partition coefficient of the carrier ({ie191-1} and {ie191-2}). From nonactin to tetranactin with the NH 4 + ion,k is, and {ie191-3} are found to increase by factors of 5 and 3, respectively,k Di and {ie191-4} to decrease respectively by factors 8 and 2, whilek Ri andk s are practically invariant. Nearly identical results are found for K+, Rb+, and Tl+ ions.k Ri,k s andk is are quite invariant from one ion to the other except for Tl+ wherek Ri is about five times larger. On the other hand,k Di depends strongly on the ion, indicating that dissociation is the determining step of the ionic selectivity of a given carrier. The systematic variations in the values of the rate constants with increasing methylation are interpreted in terms of modifications of energy barriers induced by the carrier increasing size. Within this framework, we have been able to establish and verify a fundamental relationship between the variations ofk is andk Di with methylation.

    Notes: Abstract A simple model simulating the kinetics of drug displacement kinetics is investigated. It is demonstrated that for highly bound, lowly cleared drugs, displacement interactions are transitory. Consequently, the kinetics of the interaction have to be considered as well as the in vitrointeraction. It is possible to have a significant in vitrodisplacement interaction with no in vivocounterpart. Methods of moderating drug displacement by adjusting the rate and the timing of administration of the displacing agent are discussed.

    The effect of hepatic uptake on the disappearance of warfarin from the plasma of rats: A kinetic analysis (1983)

    Notes: Abstract To quantify the effects of the liver on the dose dependence of plasma warfarin clearance, an equal number of normal and functionally hepatectomized rats received an intravenous bolus of either 0.01, 0.1, or 1.0 mg/kg body weight of radiolabelled sodium warfarin. Serial samples of plasma and bile collected from each rat during the 1 hr experiment and of hepatic tissue collected at the end of the experiment were analyzed for radioactivity. The disappearance of warfarin from the plasma of hepatectomized rats was not dose dependent and suggested that the apparent dose dependency of plasma warfarin clearance is primarily the result of warfarin's interaction with hepatic tissue. The disappearance of warfarin from the plasma of normal rats was dose dependent with higher doses being cleared less rapidly. This dose dependence, however, was not reflected in the rate of biliary excretion of warfarin's metabolites, which did not show saturation over this dosage range. These results were used to develop a multicompartmental model of warfarin's pharmacokinetics. Plasma warfarin data collected from the hepatectomized rats were used to develop the extrahepatic components of the model, which was then expanded to include hepatic tissues based on data collected from normal rats. To simultaneously fit the plasma, biliary, and hepatic data required that at least two classes of hepatic tissue exchange warfarin with plasma. One tissue exhibited Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics with Kd and maximum capacity estimated at 1.49E-3μg/ml and 2.72 μg/ml, respectively. The second class exhibited linear exchange kinetics with free plasma warfarin. Warfarin's association with the second class of hepatic tissue leads to its metabolic elimination. Consistent with our experimental findings, the rate of warfarin elimination from the plasma into the bile was linearly related to plasma warfarin concentration. Thus the single hepatic exchange nonlinearity was necessary and sufficient to account for the apparent dose dependency in plasma warfarin's pharmacokinetics. These results suggest that over the range of doses studied, the apparent dose dependent differences in the plasma warfarin concentration profile can be accounted for by saturable hepatic uptake. This mechanism, however, is not related to warfarin's metabolic enzymes, which do not show saturation in the dosage range studied.

    Notes: Abstract The temperature dependence of the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (complex V) kinetic parameters has been investigated in enzyme preparations of different phospholipid composition. In submitochondrial particles, isolated complex V, and complex V reconstituted in dimirystoyl lecithin vesicles, the Arrhenius plots show discontinuities in the range 18–28°C, while no discontinuity is detected with dioleoyl lecithin recombinant. Van't Hoff plots ofK m also show breaks in the same temperature interval, with the exception of the dioleoylenzyme vesicles, whereK m is unchanged. Thermodynamic analysis of the ATPase reaction shows that DMPC-complex V has rather larger values of activation enthalpy and activation entropy below the transition temperature (24°C) than those of the other preparations, while all enzyme preparations show similar free energies of activation (14.3–18.5 kcal/mol). The results indicate that temperature and lipid composition influence to a different extent both kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the mitochondrial ATPase.

    Notes: Abstract A minimum model of adenine nucleotide exchange through the inner membrane of mitochondria is presented. The model is based on a sequential mechanism, which presumes ternary complexes formed by binding of metabolites from both sides of the membrane. The model explains the asymmetric kinetics of ADP-ATP exchange as a consequence of its electrogenic character. In energized mitochondria, a part of the membrane potential suppresses the binding of extramitochondrial ATP in competition with ADP. The remaining part of the potential difference inhibits the back exchange of internal ADP for external ATP. The assumption of particular energy-dependent conformational states of the translocator is not necessary. The model is not only compatible with the kinetic properties reported in the literature about the adenine nucleotide exchange, but it also correctly describes the response of mitochondrial respiration to the extramitochondrial ATP/ADP ratio under different conditions. The model computations reveal that the translocation step requires some loss of free energy as driving force. The size of the driving force depends on the flux rate as well as on the extra- and intramitochondrial ATP/ADP quotients. By both quotients the translocator controls the export of ATP formed by oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria.

    Notes: Abstract Canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is known to be phosphorylated by adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase on a 22,000-dalton protein, Phosphorylation is associated with an increase in both the initial rate of Ca2+ uptake and the Ca2+-ATPase activity which is partially due to an increase in the affinity of the Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase (E) of sarcoplasmic reticulum for calcium. In this study, the effect of cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation on the binding of calcium to the SR and on the dissociation of calcium from the SR was examined. The rate of dissociation of the E·Ca2 was measured directly and was not found to be significantly altered by cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation. Since the affinity of the enzyme for Ca2+ is equal to the ratio of the on and off rates of calcium, these results demonstrate that the observed change in affinity must be due to an increase in the rate of calcium binding to the Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase of SR. In addition, an increase in the degree of positive cooperativity between the two calcium binding sites was associated with protein kinase phosphorylation.

    Notes: Abstract Mass spectrometric kinetic measurements were performed on a dc plasma during the etching of Si by SF6. Neutral plasma particles were permitted to effuse through an aperture in the cathode, via a differentially pumped section, into the ion source of the spectrometer, the sample being mounted on the cathode. The applied voltage was changed in steps, and the resulting mass signal transients for SF x + (x=0−5), F+, S2F 2 + , SiF+, and SiF 3 + were recorded. The SF 5 + , SF 4 + , and SF 3 + signals turned out to be essentially a measure of the unfragmented SF6 present in the plasma, while SF 2 + and SF+ responded in a complex way to the changes of applied voltage. The rate of SiF4 formation was not proportional to the concentration of F atoms or ions present. The S2F2 present in the plasma was probably formed from SF2 and SF radicals, mostly. Slow changes were observed in the signals representing SF 2 + , SF+, S+, F+, and S2F 2 + , presumably related to, or controlled by, gradual changes of the surface undergoing etching. The production and consumption rates of various species were seen to be nearly in balance, and strongly dependent on the applied voltage.

    Notes: Abstract Mass spectrometric kinetic measurements were performed on a dc plasma during the etching of Si by CF4. The apparatus and procedures used were identical to those developed and used in an earlier study dealing with the Si/SF6 system. The signals representative of CF 3 + , CF 2 + , CF+, F+, SiF 3 + , SiF+, and C2F 5 + were studied in some detail. CF 3 + and CF 2 + transients produced by stepwise changes of the applied voltage were found to be very similar, on a fractional basis. CF+ and C2F 5 + signals showed a close correlation, while the F+ signals indicated a small amount of extra fluorine atoms or ions to be present at relatively high applied voltages. The initial transient rates, following plasma ignition, tended to be slower than those obtained at the higher applied voltages, so the sample surface is somehow etched more rapidly after the first few seconds. In contrast to this, slow signal changes of the sort observed in the Si/SF6 system were absent, so the carbonaceous layers which may form on the Si sample surface appear to adjust rapidly to composition changes in the plasma.
