Quality control of a detector for the calculations of radiopharmacokinetic parameters of 99mTc-glucarate in rats

Good manufacturing practices specify that a well-type scintillation NaI(Tl) crystal detector has to be validated in order to detect radioactivity from any radiopharmaceutical used to obtain radiopharmacokinetic parameters. A 5 cm well-type NaI(Tl) scintillation detector was coupled to a multi-channel analyzer centered at the 140 keV ^99mTc peak with a 20% window. The area represents counts per minute (cpm). All the net cpm were decay corrected. The activity source was ^99mTc-glucarate developed as an imaging agent for acute myocardial infarction. Wistar rats were injected in a tail vein with 0.1 ml (3.7 MBq) of ^99mTc-glucarate solution and 13 blood samples were taken. The cpm were the input data for the WINNONLN program which calculates radiopharmacokinetic parameters. The detector's efficiency for ^99mTc was 15.03% and the sensitivity 1.12 kBq/ml in plasma. The response was linear between 0.31-14.3 kBq/ml of ^99mTc-glucarate. The maximum assay variation coefficient was 2.79 and recovery of ^99mTc-glucarate in plasma was 99.8%±0.2%. LOD was 0.31 kBq and LOQ = 1.12 kBq in plasma samples. ^99mTc-glucarate follows a two-compartment model of distribution with Vd of 21.74 ml±2.71 ml; a Vdss of 74.36 ml±12.67 ml; t _{1/2 a}0.74 h±0.19 h; t _{1/2 b} 18.98 h±4.36 h; AUC = 32.75 mCi/min^.ml ± 3.73 mCi/min^.ml; MRT = 24.35 h±5.51 h and total clearance 3.05 ml/h±0.35 ml/h. The well-type detector fulfills the quality system requirements and the radiopharmacokinetic parameters for ^99mTc-glucarate in rats are reliable.

Capillary electrochromatography of basic compounds using octadecyl-silica stationary phases with an amine-containing mobile phase

The capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) analysis of basic compounds on octadecyl-silica stationary phases (Hypersil ODS and Spherisorb ODS I) was studied. A basic drug (fluvoxamine) and one of its possible impurities were used as test compounds. With an eluent of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), the compounds could be baseline-separated; however, broad and tailing peaks were obtained. To minimise detrimental interactions with residual silanol groups, the pH of the mobile phase was lowered to 2.5, but the plate numbers were still quite low (<2.6x10(4) plates/m). Addition of a masking agent (hexylamine or triethylamine) to the mobile phase resulted in much better peak efficiencies (ca. 1x10(5) plates/m). Therefore, the influence of the amine concentration and pH of the mobile phase on the CEC performance (peak width, peak tailing, electroosmotic flow, selectivity) was investigated in detail. Highest efficiencies (2.8x10(5) plates/m) could be obtained with the Spherisorb column, while the Hypersil column offered a better selectivity. Furthermore, the results show that the residual silanol groups are (at least partly) responsible for the separation of the basic compounds and that the amount of injected sample has an unusually large effect on the peak efficiency. The usefulness of the system for impurity profiling was demonstrated with a mixture containing fluvoxamine and its stereoisomer (a possible impurity) at the 0.1% level. The general effectiveness of amine additives in CEC was illustrated by the separation of a mixture of five structurally different basic drugs yielding plate numbers in the 1x10(5)-3x10(5) plates/m range. Comparison with capillary electrophoretic analysis revealed a unique selectivity of the CEC system which is based on both electrophoretic mobility and chromatographic partitioning.     

Study on the Biomimetic Oxidation Catalyzed by the Model Compound of Cytochrome P-450(VI)——The Influence of Substituent x in T(x-p)PMn(Ⅲ)Cl on the Hydroxylation of Alkane

The influence of monosubstitution at phonyl rings in a series of T(x-P) PMn (Ⅲ)Cl (x = o , m , p-CH3, CH3O, Cl, Br, I, NO , o-NH2, p-(CH3)3C) on the biomimetic catalytic hydroxylation and chlorizaiton of cyclohexane with PhIO was studied. The yields of cyclohexanol and chlorocyclohexane increased with the electron-withdrawing ability of the substituent in this manganese complex. The fair linear correlations between the yields of cyclohexanol and para or ortho substituent constant are presented as:logYx/YH = 0.310p+0.03, logyx/YCH3 = 0.61σ0.07Es+0.05, But there are no linear correlations between the yields of chloro-cyclohexane and either para, ortho or meta substituent constants.     

Genetic aspects of variation of protein amounts in maize and pea

Using high-resolution two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis we studied the polymorphism of protein amounts in some genotypes of maize and pea. This type of variability seems to be rather common and insensitive to environmental conditions, as attested by the comparison of the patterns of two maize lines harvested in two different years. A large-scale experiment involving 5 lines, 7 of their hybrids, and 6 organs (or physiological stages) of maize allowed us to examine numerous polypeptides regarding their genetic variability, their amount differences between organs and the inheritance of their abundance. Genetic and organ variations are not independent: polypeptides whose amount varies from one organ to another are, for the most part, genetically variable (59%), while the stable polypeptides are not often genetically variable (18%). We found a striking organ specificity for (i) the extent of quantitative variability (from 2.3-15.4% of the polypeptides), (ii) the occurrence and the type of variation for a given polypeptide (an intensity difference seen in an organ can disappear or even be reversed in another one), (iii) the kind of inheritance (additive/non-additive): combining the 6 organs and the 7 hybrids we found 101 cases of non-additivity (4% of the total) which concern as many as 72 different spots, that is to say that in most cases a polypeptide displaying nonadditivity in an organ seems to display additivity in the other ones. Moreover, for most of the polypeptides with nonadditive inheritance the hybrid spot presents an intensity similar to that of the most intense parental spot.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
