The synthesis of two silyl-linked hexanucleotide analogues is described. Hypochromicity and CD measurements indicate that the thymidine hexanucleotide analogue bears a strong resemblance to its phosphodiester-linked counterpart.
A program for routine pharmacokinetic interpretation of serum analyses of gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, theophylline, lidocaine, digoxin, quinidine, and procainamide at the Medical University of South Carolina Hospital is described. Results of all analyses of serum for the drugs listed are evaluated by a pharmacist trained in clinical pharmacokinetics. Patient variables relevant to the determination of drug serum concentrations, drug elimination, distribution, and dosage are given appropriate consideration in each evaluation. A summary of the pharmacokinetic interpretation and any necessary modification of drug dosage regimens are then written into the progress notes of the patients' medical records. Approximately 12 patients and 20 drug concentrations are evaluated each day. The average charge for te service is +35. This service, which is reimbursed by third-party carriers, has resulted in improved use of laboratory personnel, equipment, and time and has provided a framework for education and research as well as a mechanism for direct contributions to patient care by the pharmacist.
