Studies in the imidazole series

The reaction of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 5, 6-dimethyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole with -halogenoketones has given a series of 2--oxoalkylthio- and 2--oxoaralkylthiobenzimidazoles—intermediate products for the synthesis of thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazoles. The compounds obtained exhibit the phenomenon of ring-chain tautomerism.For part XXXV, see [6].     

Some Pharmaceutical Properties of a New Branched Cyclodextrin, 6-O-α-(4-O- α-D-Glucuronyl)-D-glucosylβ-cyclodextrin

Some physicochemical and biological properties of a new branched cyclodextrin, 6-O--(4-O--d-glucuronyl)-d-glucosyl--cyclodextrin GUG--CyD) were investigated. Further, theinteraction of GUG--CyD with several drugs was studied by the solubility and spectroscopic methods, and compared with those of parent -CyD and 6-O--maltosyl--CyD(₂--CyD).The hemolytic activity of GUG--CyD on rabbit erythrocytes was lower than those of -CyD and ₂--CyD. GUG--CyD and ₂--CyD showed negligible cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells up to at least 0.1 M. The inclusion ability of GUG--CyD to neutral and acidic drugs was comparable to or slightly smaller than those of -CyD and ₂--CyD, probably because of a steric hindrance of the branched sugar. On the other hand, GUG--CyD showed greater affinity for the basic drugs, compared with -CyD and ₂--CyD, owing to the electrostatic interaction of its carboxylate anion with positive charge of basic drugs. Thus GUG--CyD may be useful as a safe solubilizing agent particularly for basic drugs.     

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.

Binding of vitamin A byβ-cyclodextrin and heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl)-β-cyclodextrin

Inclusion complexation of all-trans-retinol, retinal and retinoic acid with -cyclodextrin (-CD) and heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CD) were investigated by means of UV-vis spectroscopy. The association constants (K _a) obtained for vitamin A with DM--CD is greater than with -CD. On the other hand, for the same host compoundK _a values of retinol, retinal and retinoic acid are very close to each other.
