Cardiac glycosides of Cheiranthus allioni. IX

Summary From the seends ofCheiranthus allioni hort. another three cardiac glycosides have been isolated. One of them has been identified as cheirotoxin. It has been established that in cheirotoxin the D-glucose is attached to C₄ of the D-gulomethylose and this glycoside therefore has the structure of strophanthidin 3-O-[4-O--D-glucopyranosyl--D-gulomethylopyranoside]. The two other glycosides, which have been named sarmentogulomethyloside and gulosarmentoglucoside are new and are, respectively, sarmentogenin-3-O--D-gulomethylopyranoside and sarmentogenin 3-O-[4-O--D-glucopyranosyl--D-gulomethylopyranoside].For Communication VIII see [1].Khar'kov Scientific-Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

A Thermal study of the precipitates formed in ammonia neutralization of acidic solutions of dissolved phlogopite

The precipitates containing mainly iron, aluminium and magnesium hydroxides, obtained from phlogopite dissolved in nitric acid by means of the neutralization procedure with ammonia, have been investigated by thermal analysis (TG, DTG and DTA). According to the present study, which is part of a larger investigation into the chemical utilization of Finnish mica minerals, the formation of solid solutions between iron and aluminium hydroxides in silt increases with an increasing neutralization temperature. Nitrogen exists mainly in the form of nitrate in silts, and magnesium forms mixed hydroxides with aluminium, which causes a separation between the iron hydroxide and magnesium aluminium hydroxide phases.

Improvement of Solubility and Dissolution of 19-Norprogesterone via Inclusion Complexation

In an effort to modify the solubility and dissolution rate of the contraceptive steroid, 19-norprogesterone in order to improve its bioavailability, the cyclodextrin complexation approach was chosen. In solution, the complex formation with -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxyethyl -cyclodextrin (HE--CD) and hydroxypropyl -cyclodextrin (HP--CD) was confirmed by using solubility, UV, IR and ¹H-NMR spectrophotometric techniques. The phase solubility diagrams were categorized as A_L-type. The complexing affinity of the CDs investigated were ranked as follows: -CD > HP--CD > HE--CD. The complexation thermodynamic parameters were obtained from the temperature dependence of the dissociation constants. In the solid state, differential scanning calorimetery (DSC) and optical microscopy methods were utilized to characterize the complexes. Dissolution studies showed that such molecularly encapsulated forms offered a marked improvement in the dissolution rate compared to the parent drug.     

Enhanced dissolution and oral bioavailability of α-tocopheryl esters by dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin complexation

Inclusion complexation of heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CyD) with -tocopheryl acetate and -tocopheryl nicotinate in aqueous solution was studied by the solubility method. The aqueous solubilities of the esters were about 10⁵ times increased by DM--CyD complexation. The phase-solubility diagram of the tocopheryl ester-DM--CyD systems showed a typicalA _p type, and the stability constants (K) of high-order complexes were estimated by analyzing the upward curvature of the diagrams. The solid complex of -tocopheryl nicotinate with DM--CyD in a molar ratio of 12 was prepared by the kneading method. The dissolution rate of the solid complex was much greater than that of the drug itself, and the rapidly dissolving form of -tocopheryl nicotinate, as an example, showed a markedly increased bioavailability (about 70-fold) after oral administration to fasted dogs.

Polymorphism of (+)N-tosyl-L-glutamic acid

It has been shown that polymorphism is the reason for the occurrence of (+)N-tosyl-L-glutamic acid 1 with various melting points. 1 occurs in two crystalline forms: and . Form -1 (prisms) having a melting point of 145–147°C is chemically pure and stable. Form -1, however, is unstable and is formed as a result of the stabilizing effect of an organic solvent not introduced into the structure of the crystal. At about 125°C the forms is transformed to the form. The melting point of the form depends on the amount and type of solvent contained in the crystal, which, during measurement cannot leave the system.     

NMR Spectral Assignment of Per-substituted Key-Intermediates of β-Cyclodextrin and Implications in the Structures of the Derivatives

The compounds, 6-per-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)--cyclodextrin(1), 2,3-per-O-benzyl-6-per-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)--cyclodextrin(2), 2,3-per-O-benzyl--cyclodextrin (3),2,3,6-per-O-benzyl--cyclodextrin (4),2,3,6-per-O-benzoyl--cyclodextrin (5), are used as keyintermediates in the synthesis of selectively substituted -CD derivatives. Simple and assignable ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra (chemical shifts and coupling constants) were obtained for compounds1–4 indicating C₇ symmetry, ⁴C₁ glucose conformation and major arrangement of H6, H6' atoms at the primary side. The derivative 5, however, gave very broad peaksat room temperature. The peaks could partially be assigned at 270 K, but the broadening was still present at 220 K. This implies that there exist several conformers of similar energyand C₁ symmetry that continuously interchange, since there is not a single type of stabilizing interaction thatpredominates. We attributed this phenomenon to the presence of the carbonyl group, which probablydisfavors - stacking and induces random arrangements of the aromatic rings.

Decomposition of benzenediazonium fluoborate in esters of α,β-unsaturated acids

Summary It was shown that In contrast to the Meerwein-Koelsch reaction, the decomposition of benzenediazonlum fluoborate In esters of ,-unsaturated acids proceeds by a heterolytlc mechanism with the phenyl attacking the -carbon and the carbalkoxyl group of these esters. The reaction with ethyl crotonate gave -methylatropic acid (after hydrolysis) and a small amount of a dibasic acid, C₁₄H₁₆O₄ (or C₁₄H₁₄O₄). With methyl acrylate it gave atropic acid, phenyl acrylate, and a smaller amount of -methyl--phenylglutaric acid. With methyl methacrylate It formed benzylacrylic acid and the product of further conversions of phenyl methacrylate, namely the keto phenol 2-methyl-5-hydroxyindan-1-one.

The simplest catalytic mechanism permitting several steady states of the surface

The conditions for the existence of several steady states of the surface have been found for the simplest mechanism without the assumption of autocatalysis and without the effect of the medium on the catalyst. A possibility has been shown for the explanation of the multiplicity of steady states, found experimentally in the kinetic region, in terms of mechanisms including interactions between various intermediates.

Percolation Effects on the Surface of a Polyimide Film Modified with Aqueous Solutions of an Alkali and Acid

A cluster structure of the surface of a polypyromellitimide film was studied by the electron microscopy and ATR IR spectroscopy methods at different steps of consecutive treatment with aqueous solutions of an alkali and acid. The effective size and fractal dimension D of polyamidoacid clusters, as well as the degree _s of the filling of the surface with the latter were calculated from the data of the electron microscopy as a function of the degree of imide group conversion into amidoacid units on the film surface. The _s and D parameters were shown to increase with a rise in : _s = 0.1–0.3 and D = 1.3–1.4 at < _cr and _s 0.6 and D 1.7 at > _cr, where _cr is a critical degree of conversion, which corresponds to the formation of a continuous physical network of polyamidoacid macromolecules or a percolation cluster. In a region close to _cr (at < _cr), the correlation length land the concentration C of the clusters vary according to the laws of the percolation theory for two-dimensional lattices: l (_cr – )^– and C (_cr – ), where = 1.3 ± 0.1 and = 0.67 ± 0.05.     

Application of the MIMS Technique to Study the Stability Constants of Small Organic Guest Molecules into Cyclodextrin Hosts in Aqueous Medium

In this work the potential of MIMS (Membrane Introduction Mass Spectrometry) for studying the inclusion of small organic guest molecules into cyclodextrin hosts in aqueous medium was investigated. MIMS profiles showed that the inclusion of benzene in cyclodextrins is favored in the following order: -CD HO-propyl--CD> -CD> -CD with equilibrium constants of K -CD = 404; K_HO-propyl-CD = 395, K _-CD = 335 and K _-CD = 210 M^-1 at 25 °C. Kinetic experiments suggested that under the conditions employed the inclusion process has a pseudo first-order dependence on the guest benzene concentration with the following order: -CD > -CD HO-propyl--CD> -CD. MIMS inclusion profiles of chlorobenzene and toluene showed that the presence of substituents in benzene makes the inclusion in -CD more difficult. Experiments with ferrocene--CD have also been carried out, showing that the complex rapidly dissociates in water and the resulting free -CD can complex with benzene present in the solution.
