Abstract

Hypercalcemia is the consequence of increased calcium fluxes into extracellular fluid. The origin of calcium is bone resorption, renal tubular reabsorption, rarely intestinal absorption. Among inpatients, the most frequent cause of hypercalcemia is tumor, with pathophysiological mechanisms implicating both enhanced bone resorption and increased renal tubular reabsorption of calcium. The presence of hyperosteolysis in most patients with hypercalcemia of non parathyroid origin, constitutes the rationale for the use of potent bone resorption inhibitors, such as bisphosphonates, in the acute treatment of hypercalcemia.

A high-throughput-compatible assay for determining the activity of fatty acid amide hydrolase.

Fatty acid amide hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.4.) is the enzyme responsible for the rapid degradation of lipid-derived chemical messengers such as anandamide, oleamide, and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. The pharmacological characterization of this enzyme in vivo has been hampered by the lack of selective and bioavailable inhibitors. We have developed a simple, radioactive, high-throughput-compatible assay for this enzyme based on the differential absorption of the substrate and its products to activated charcoal. The assay was validated using known inhibitors. It may be applied for the identification of new inhibitors from a compound library.

Improvement of norfloxacin oral bioavailability by EDTA and sodium caprate.

The EDTA and sodium caprate (Na caprate) effects on the oral bioavailability of norfloxacin were tested. It was found that absorption kinetic of norfloxacin was markedly accelerated when mixed with EDTA or Na caprate in a ratio of 1:1. When mixed with the absorption enhancers in a ratio of 1:5, only Na caprate improved norfloxacin bioavailability significantly. In vitro dissolution tests demonstrated that EDTA and Na caprate increased norfloxacin dissolution kinetic. However, the correlation between bioavailability and in vitro dissolution improvement was not clearly established. So, we can conclude that the solubilizing property of EDTA and Na caprate did not take a prominent part in norfloxacin absorption.

Sorption of tributyltin onto a natural quartz sand.

The aim of this study is to understand the sorption of tributyltin (TBT) onto natural quartz sand by classical batch experiments and spectroscopic surface analyses. At pH<6, the major species of TBT is the cation TBT(+). Due to the presence of both the cationic part and the butyl chains, TBT should present amphiphilic properties. For concentrations lower than 40 microM, TBT sorption occurs as a homovalent 1:1 cation exchange between either H(+) or Na(+) and TBT(+). The increasing affinity of TBT with respect to the different materials follows the series kaolinite<<natural sand<treated sand<pure quartz. From XPS analyses, where the chemical environment of Sn did not change, indicating possible complete reversibility of the TBT sorption, it seems that inner-sphere surface complexes could be formed due to the increase in the 3d-level binding energy. At TBT concentrations higher than 100 microM, we showed by flotation experiments and XPS analysis that the surface becomes hydrophobic. After one monolayer was formed, the TBT sorption could thus be due to hydrophobic interaction between the butyl chains of the sorbed TBT and those of the TBT still available from the bulk solution. This mechanism is consistent with surface condensation and the shape of the sorption isotherm.
