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.     

Steroid compounds from the Pacific starfishesLuidia quinaria andDistolasterias elegans

Neue Ergebnisse zur Polymorphic desβ-Naphthols und deren Auswirkung auf die Phasendiagramme der Naphthalingruppe

Zusammenfassung Die frühere Annahme, daß die beiden Modifikationen von-Naphthol den gleichen Schmelzpunkt besitzen und somit einen Grenzfall der Enantiotropie darstellen, wurde durch differentialthermoanalytische Untersuchungen widerlegt. Die beiden Modifikationen stehen zueinander im Verhältnis der Monotropie mit der allerdings nur geringen Schmelzpunktsdifferenz von 0,5°. Auch die IR-Spektren der beiden Kristallformen bestätigen das Vorliegen einer Monotropie.Für die Phasendiagramme der Naphthalingruppe, an denen-Naphthol beteiligt ist, ergeben sich Korrekturen. Da die instabile Mod. II die mit Naphthalin korrespondierende Kristallform ist, liegt in dem System Naphthalin--Naphthol keine lückenlose Mischkristallreihe vor (Typ. I, Roozeboom), sondern es wird eine Mischungslücke gebildet, denn das System besteht aus zwei Mischkristallphasen (Typ. IV). Auch im System-Naphthol--Naphthylamin tritt auf der-Naphtholseite eine bisher nicht erkannte Phasenüberschneidung auf und anstelle von Typ. III wird Typ. V (Roozeboom) gebildet.Schmelzdiagramme ohne Mischkristallbildung-Naphthol--Naphthol,-Naphthol--Naphthylamin) sind von einer Korrektur nur insofern betroffen, als die Kurvenäste der beiden Modifikationen des-Naphthols nicht von einem Punkt ausgehen und der stabile Kurvenast nicht als Mod. II, sondern als Mod. I bezeichnet werden muß.

New results on the polymorphism of-naphthol and its effects on the phase diagrams of the naphthalene group

Summary The earlier assumption that the two modifications of-naphthol have the same melting point and thus constitute a borderline case of enantiotropy was disproved by differential thermoanalytic investigations. The two modifications only have the slight difference in melting point of 0.5°. The IR spectra of the two crystal forms confirm the presence of monotropy.There are corrections for the phase diagrams of the naphthalene group in which-naphthol is involved. Since the unstable modification III is the crystal form corresponding to naphthalene, there is no unbroken series of mixed crystals in the naphthalene--naphthol system (Type I, Roozeboom), but a mixing gap is formed since the system consists of two mixed crystal phases (Type IV). A phase overlap which had not been previously recognized also occurs on the side of-naphthol in the-naphthol--naphthylamine system; the Roozeboom Type V is formed instead of Type III. The melting diagrams of a mixed crystal formation (-naphthol--naphthol,-naphthol--naphthylamine) are affected by a correction only to the extent that the curve branches of the two modifications of-naphthol do not begin at one point and the stable branch of the curve must be designated not as modification II but as modification I.

Synthesen mit Nitrilen, 28. Mitt.: Zur Kenntnis der Ritter-Reaktion

Zusammenfassung Das Nebenprodukt, welches bei der Bildung der Bi-pyridonyle3 aus dimerem Malonitril (2) und Arylaminopropenonen (1) anfällt, wird als Tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridinderivat4 b erkannt und seine Eigenschaften beschrieben. Da für die Entstehung von4 b das intermediäre Auftreten von Phenyl-vinylketon angenommen werden kann, wird das Verhalten des letzteren gegenüber Nitrilen im Sinne einerRitter-Reaktion untersucht. Mit Benzonitril kann das -Benzamido-propiophenon8 erhalten werden. Auch -Dimethylamino-propiophenon eignet sich zu Kondensationen mit dimerem Malonitril und Glutazinderivaten. Durch Dehydrierung werden dabei dieselben Produkte isoliert wie bei der Verwendung von Enaminoketonen. Der Mechanismus dieser Reaktionen wird diskutiert.

Syntheses with nitriles, XXVIII.: Contributions to the ritter reaction

The by-product of the synthesis of the bi-pyridonyls3, from dimeric malononitrile and aryl-aminopropenones (1) is the tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine derivative4 b. Since phenyl vinyl ketone is an intermediate for the formation of4 b its reaction with nitriles is investigated.Ritter reaction with benzonitrile leads to -benzamido-propiophenone (8). -Dimethylaminopropiophenone is used for condensations with dimeric malononitrile or glutazine derivatives, too. The reaction proceeds with dehydrogenation to give the same products as obtained with enamino ketones. The mechanism is discussed.

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.     

Secondary metabolites of Astragalus danicus Retz. and A. inopinatus Boriss.

The chemical composition of the above-ground parts of Astragalus danicus and A. inopinatus collected in the Baikal region (Eastern Siberia) was studied for the first time. From A. danicus, pentacyclic triterpene saponins were isolated and identified, viz., 3-O-(-glucuronopyranosyl)-3,22,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene, 3-O-[O-(-d-xylopyranosyl)-(12)-(-glucuronopyranosyl)]-3,22,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene, 3-O-[O-(-d-glucopyranosyl)-(12)-(-glucuronopyranosyl)]-3,22,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene, 3-O-[O-(-l-rhamnopyranosyl)-(12)-O-(-d-xylopyranosyl)-(12)-(-glucuronopyranosyl)]-3,22,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene, 3-O-[O-(-l-rhamnopyranosyl)-(12)-O-(-d-glucopyranosyl)-(12)-(-glucuronopyranosyl)]-3,22,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene, 3-O-methyl-d-chiro-inositol, and linolenic acid. In A. inopinatus, the same saponins were identified as well as tricosan-1-ol and tetracosan-1-ol, 5,7,4"-trihydroxyflavon (apigenin), and a tetracyclic triterpenoid, 20(R),24(S)-epoxycyclolanost-9(11)-ene-3,6,16,25-tetrol (cycloastragenol). All reported compounds from the both genus of Astragalus were isolated for the first time. Methanolic extracts of A. danicusand A. inopinatus exhibited low inhibitory activity with respect to the growth of HeLa cells. The chloroform fraction of A. danicus showed a strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and a strong cytotoxic activity against HeLa cells.
