High speed liquid chromatographic determination of cephalexin in human plasma and urine.

A rapid and accurate high speed liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of cephalexin in human plasma and urine. The method involves micropore filtration of urine specimens and methanol extraction of plasma samples followed by HSLC separation on a bonded reverse phase column utilizing a mobile phase of methanol-water containing acetic acid. The quantitativity of UV response at 254 nm covered a wide range of cephalexin concentrations down to 0.5 microgram/ml, and no metabolite peaks were detected. The time courses of plasma level and urinary excretion were determined until 6 hours after oral administration of cephalexin capsules to healthy volunteers. The pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using a two compartment open model.

Gas chromatographic and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of ampicillin.

A method was developed for the quantitative gas chromatographic (GC) determination of ampicillin. The procedure requires silylation iwth hexamethyldisilazane, trimethylchlorosilane, trimethylsilylimidazole and N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide in pyridine and subsequent GC on an OV-17 column, using 5 alpha-cholestane as an internal standard. The method was applied to the determination of ampicillin in some pharmaceutical products. The characteristics of the mass spectra and the derivatization GC of ampicillin are also discussed.

Antitussive activity and other related pharmacological properties of d-3-methyl-N-methylmorphinan (AT-17).

Antitussive activity and some other related pharmacological properties of d-3-methyl-N-methylmorphinan were studied. Toxic symptoms in mice and dogs were due to the CNS excitation. Acute toxicity of (AT-17) in mice was slightly (s.c.) or far (p.o.) weaker than that of codeine, but it was three times as toxic as codeine in dogs (i.v.). Antitussive efficacy was about 40% of that of codeine in dogs, whereas 77% as potent as codeine in cats. It showed no relaxing effect on the bronchial muscle of guinea pigs in either normal tone or histamine-induced spasms. It had analgesic effect 1/3 as potent as codeine in mice but it was not antagonized by levallorphan. The prolongation of hexobarbital sleeping time by AT-17 was similar extent to that by codeine. Anti-electroshock effect was half as potent as that of phenobarbital. The inhibitory effect on the transportation of intestinal contents in mice was far weaker than that of codeine. Effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems were also investigated.

On the sites of antitussive action of d-3-methyl-N-methylmorphinan (AT-17).

The sites of antitussive action of d-3-methyl-N-methylmorphinan (AT-17) were studied. It was assumed from the following results that AT-17 acts on the cough centre per se. a) When AT-17 was given by the routes leading to the brain stem such as the cerebello-medullar cistern, far smaller doses were sufficient to obtain the same effect as that by i.v. administration. b) It showed neither effect on the afferent pathway for cough reflex nor influence on pulmonary stretch receptors. c) Decerebration exerted no influence on the antitussive efficacy. d) It definitely depressed the potentials of both the recurrent and internal intercostal nerves evoked by the superior laryngeal nerve stimulation. e) Micro-injection of AT-17 into the bilateral solitary nuclei or their adjacent regions inhibited coughs induced by peripheral stimulation. f) In deafferentated and decerebrate cats, AT-17 increased the spontaneous discharges of the phrenic nerve, whereas codeine decreased them.

Gas chromatographic determination and gas chromatographic-mass sepectrometric analysis of chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol and their metabolites.

A rapid and accurate gas chromatographic (GC) method is described for the determination of chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol and their metabolites excreted in human urine. These excretions were pre-treated with diazomethane and N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide, so that they could be easily subjected to GC with satisfactory separation from each other and also from other urinary excretions, and could be determined simultaneously. The structures of the metabolites were confirmed by GC combined with mass spectrometric measurements of the GC peaks. The application of the method to urine specimens enabled more precise results for the amounts of metabolites present to be obtained; the excretion of thiamphenicol glucuronide was not observed.
