Researches on 2, l, 3-thia- and selenadiazole

4-(,-Dicarboethoxy--acetylamino) ethyl-7-aminobenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole (IV) and ethylene oxide form mainly the 7-(-hydroxyethyl) amino derivative (V); the 7- di (-hydroxyethyl) amino derivative VII was isolated in low yield. Action of POCl₃ on compound VII gave the 7-di (-chloroethyl) amino derivative VIII, which was converted into 4-(-amino--carboxy)-ethyl-7 -di (-chloroethyl) aminobenzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole (IX). 5-(, -dicarboethoxy--acetylamino) ethyl-4-nitrobenzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole (XI) was converted to 5-(-carboxy--amino) ethyl-4-nitrobenzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole hydrochloride (XII), from which was prepared, by known routes, and in satisfactory yield, 5-(-carboxy--amino) ethyl-4-di (-chloroethyl)-aminobenzo-2, l, 3-thiadiazole hydrochloride (XVII).For Part XXXIX see [8].

Comparative study on inclusion complexations of antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen with β-cyclodextrin and methylated β-cyclodextrins

Abstruct Some physicochemical properties of methylated -cyclodextrins, i.e., heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CyD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TM--CyD) were compared with those of natural -cyclodextrin (-CyD). Inclusion behaviors of -CyD and methylated -CyDs in water and in solid state were studied by solubility analysis, spectroscopies (UV, CD,¹³C-NMR and IR), X-ray diffractometry and thermal analysis, using an antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen (FP) as a guest molecule. The spectral data suggest that the inclusion mode of FP-TM--CyD is somewhat different from those of FP--CyD and FP-DM--CyD. The solid complexes of FP with - and methylated -CyDs were obtained in molar ratio of 11, and their dissolution behavior and release from suppository base were examined. The data are presented suggesting that DM--CyD is particularly useful for improving the pharmaceutical properties of FP in various dosage forms.

Interaction of tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin with drugs

Summary The effect of tri-O-methyl--cyclodextrin(methyl--CD) on the partition coefficients of drugs, such as p-nitrophenol, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, and aspirin, was studied at 25°C. The partition coefficients of these drugs were increased linearly with methyl--CD concentration. The increase of partition coefficients was interpreted by the 11 complex formation between methyl--CD and the drug in CHCl₃ phase.The interaction between p-nitrophenol and methyl--CD in solution was studied by UV and PMR spectroscopies. It was concluded that p-nitrophenol is included in the cavity of methyl--CD in both aqueous solution and CHCl₃ solution.Inclusion compounds of these drugs with methyl--CD in the solid state were studied by X-ray diffractometry, IR spectroscopy, and DSC measurements. 11 crystalline inclusion compounds were obtained from hot water. It is also suggested that amorphous inclusion compound was obtained by the grinding of drug with methyl--CD.The dissolution rate and the bioavailability of ketoprofen were significantly increased in the presence of methyl--CD. The bioavailability of ketoprofen after oral administration with methyl--CD to rats was 3.7 times that of ketoprofen alone.

Synthesis and1H NMR and13C spectroscopy of L-arabinopyranosyl biosides

Conclusions The 3-0- and 4-0-trityl ethers of the acetates of methyl -L- arid methyl -L-arabinopyranosides were synthesized. The glycosylation of the ethers with the aid of 3,4-di-0-acetyl-1,2-0-(1-exo-cyano)ethylidene--L-arabinopyranose and the subsequent deacetylation of the synthesized products yielded the disaccharides: methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-,methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, and methyl 3-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)--L-arabinopyranoside; and methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, methyl 3-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, and methyl 3-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)--L-arabinopyranoside.The assignment of the signals in the PMR and¹³C NMR spectra of the synthesized arabinopyranosyl biosides was carried out, allowing the determination of the type and configuration of the glycosidic bond by means of which the arabinopyranose residues are linked in the oligo- and polysaccharide chains.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 200–209, January, 1986.     

Evaluation of the Compression Behavior of Paracetamol Tablets Produced by Dispersion in β-Cyclodextrin. Part I: Scanning Electron Microscopic Study of Tablets

The compression behaviour of three powder products of Paracetamol–-cyclodextrin solid dispersions (PAR--CD SD) and PAR alone were evaluated using the method of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The four powder products were: PAR, PAR–-CD physical mixture, kneaded solid dispersion of PAR–-CD and spray dried solid dispersion of PAR–-CD (PAR–-CD ratio of 1 : 1 w/w). By observing the surface, side and broken surface of each tablet sample under different magnifications the compression behaviour, mechanism of consolidation and deformability of particles were evaluated. PAR alone and the PAR–-CD physical mixture were compressed by the brittle fracture mechanism; the PAR–-CD kneaded solid dispersion showed a good plastical deformation. With PAR–-CD spray dried solid dispersion a good plastic deformation and mechanism of cool sintering were postulated. The influence of -CD on the compression behavior of the PAR was proved. The results obtained by the SEM method are well correlated with physicopharmaceutical parameters (crushing strength, disintegration time, friability, elastic recovery and tensile strength) of the tablets.     

Controlled-potential coulometric studies on fluoride and sulphate complexes of neptunium (VI)

Fluoride and sulphate complexing of Np(VI) has been studied by controlled-potential coulometry at a constant ionic strength. The values of ₁ ^* and ₂ ^* for fluoride complexes were found to be 9.4 and 8.9, respectively, at an ionic strength =0.5. At an ionic strength =1.0, ₁ ^* and ₂ ^* obtained were 6.6 and 10.5, respectively. Sulphate complexing of Np(VI) was studied only at an ionic strength =0.5. The value of ₁ ^* obtained was 5.6.
