[Studies on the inhibitory effect of etafenone hydrochloride on platelet aggregation].

The inhibitory effect of etafenone hydrochloride (etafenone) on platelet aggregation in rabbit platelet rich plasma and the involvement of the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade in the inhibitory mechanism for etafenone on platelet aggregation were studied. 1) Etafenone exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on collagen (15--20 micrograms/ml)-induced platelet aggregation, and its median inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 1.7 X 10(-5)M. 2) In ADP (20 microM)-induced aggregation, etafenone also exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect, but its IC50 was 2.7 X 10(-4)M and was significantly higher than that in the case of collagen. 3) Etafenone inhibited AA (0.3--0.5mM)-induced platelet aggregation dose-dependently. Its IC50 was 2.8 X 10(-5)M. 4) In thromboxane (TX) A2-induced aggregation, etafenone exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition, and the IC50 was 3.2 X 10(-4)M. 5) Trapidil which was reported to inhibit platelet aggregation via phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition had a similar IC50 on ADP- and TXA2-induced platelet aggregation to that of etafenone, but in collagen- and AA-induced aggregation, its IC50 was higher than that of etafenone. 6) Etafenone (3 X 10(-6)--3 X 10(-4)M) dose-dependently inhibited the production of TXB2 in PRP induced by collagen. 7) Etafenone scarcely affected TXA2 synthetase activity in rabbit platelet homogenate. 8) The correlation between the inhibitory effect of etafenone on platelet aggregation and inhibition of AA metabolism activation and PDE inhibition was discussed.

Physicochemical properties of amphoteric beta-lactam antibiotics I: Stability, solubility, and dissolution behavior of amino penicillins as a function of pH.

The degradation rate, solubility, and dissolution rate of amino penicillins, amoxicillin, ampicillin, epicillin, and cyclacillin, were determined quantitatively as a function of pH. In the pH range studied, 0.30-10.50, the degradation of amoxicillin and epicillin followed pseudo-first-order kinetics to give the same type of pH-rate profiles as those of ampicillin and cyclacillin. Cyclacillin anhydrate was the most soluble, followed in order by ampicillin anhydrate, ampicillin trihydrate, amoxicillin trihydrate, and epicillin anhydrate. These pH-solubility profiles showed showed U-shaped curves. The dissolution rate constants from the rotating disk were analyzed by the simultaneous chemical reaction and diffusion models. Their relative bioavailability after a single oral administration was assessed from their physicochemical properties determined in vitro.

A new guanidine derivative: dissociation of the adrenergic neuron blocking activity from local anesthetic activity.

Effects of 4-7-exo-methylene-hexahydroisoindoline-ethyl-guanidine hemisulfate (No. 865-123), a new guanidine derivative, on adrenergic neurons and its local anesthetic activity were investigated in comparison with guanethidine. Both derivatives produced in a dose-dependent manner a progressive irreversible reduction of positive chronotropic and contractile responses to postganglionic sympathetic nerve stimulation in isolated rabbit atria. The time course of the reduction by No. 865-123 was somewhat slower. In dogs administered both agents, the pressor response to carotid occlusion was reduced and that to exogenous noradrenaline was potentiated with a slight decrease in blood pressure. Noradrenaline stores in the heart and spleen of rats were also depleted to a similar extent. In the guinea pig weal method, guanethidine acted as a potent local anesthetic with a slow onset and a prolonged action as compared to procaine. No. 865-123 revealed no more anesthetic activity than did saline. It is unlikely that the local anesthetic activity of the guanidine derivatives contributes to the adrenergic neuron blocking activity.
