Differentiated in vivo skin penetration of salicylic compounds in hairless rats measured by cutaneous microdialysis.

The purpose was to investigate the in vivo skin penetration of four 14C-salicylic compounds using microdialysis and to relate dermal concentrations to structural features. Furthermore, to compare two in vivo retrodialysis recovery methods for estimation of true unbound extracellular concentrations. Microdialysis probes were inserted in the dermis of hairless rats. Equimolal 14C-salicylic formulations were applied topically and dialysate sampled consecutively for 4h. True extracellular concentrations were estimated by retrodialysis by drug method (the 14C-salicylic compounds themselves) and by retrodialysis by calibrator method (3H-salicylic acid as internal standard). Probe depth was measured by ultrasound scanning. High dermal concentrations were found after application of 14C-salicylamide (low protein-binding) and the lipophilic ester 14C-butyl salicylate, which was completely hydrolysed to 14C-salicylic acid during skin diffusion. Protein binding and dissociation may explain the lower dermal concentrations of 14C-salicylic acid and 14C-diethylamine salicylate, respectively. Probe depth did not significantly influence dialysate concentrations. The two in vivo recovery correction methods did not reduce the variation in concentration-time curves. In conclusion, differentiated penetration kinetics was found ranking: 14C-salicylamide >/= 14C-butyl salicylate > 14C-salicylic acid > 14C-diethylamine salicylate. Dermal concentrations were related to structural features of the model compounds. The two correction methods performed alike; however, the calibrator method has the advantage of serving as a quality control during experiments.

In vivo skin penetration of salicylic compounds in hairless rats.

The in vivo skin penetration of four salicylic compounds was investigated using a hairless rat model, which allowed for non-occluded, finite dose application, and free mobility of the rats throughout the test period. The model compounds were applied in equimolal concentrations of 0.4 mmol/g dimethyl isosorbide. At certain times (0.5-24 h) the rats were killed, and the amount of test compound on the skin surface, in the stratum corneum, and in the deeper viable skin layers was determined. Significant different skin concentrations were found with the following ranking: [(14)C]diethylamine salicylate>[(14)C]salicylic acid>[(14)C]salicylamide>[(14)C]butyl salicylate. In addition, the in vivo percutaneous rate of absorption was in the following order: [(14)C]butyl salicylate>[(14)C]salicylic acid> or =[(14)C]salicylamide>[(14)C]diethylamine salicylate. [(14)C]Butyl salicylate was rapidly absorbed and completely depleted from the surface 3 h post application. In comparison with [(14)C]salicylic acid, the ionic [(14)C]diethylamine salicylate had larger surface depots and penetrated the skin at a lower rate. The relatively hydrophilic [(14)C]salicylamide also had larger surface depots but much lower skin levels. For comparison, the in vitro permeation of the formulations was studied through freshly excised hairless rat skin using Franz diffusions cells, and an agreement between the techniques was found.

The effect of topically applied salicylic compounds on serotonin-induced scratching behaviour in hairless rats.

There is a strong need for antipruritic substances for treating itch in clinical dermatology. In one recent human study, topically applied acetylsalicylic acid has been described to rapidly decrease histamine-induced itch. We have established a model for periferally elicited pruritus by injecting serotonin into the rostral back area (neck) in rats. Using this model, we aimed to investigate the antipruritic potential of four different salicylic compounds, which all possess different skin penetration characteristics. Eighteen rats were studied for 6 weeks. Prior to serotonin injections (2 mg/ml, 50 micro l), 10 micro l of test substances was applied to a circular area 18 mm in diameter. The four substances were salicylic acid, butyl salicylate, diethylamine salicylate and salicylamide, all solubilized in dimethyl isosorbide to a concentration of 5% w/w. Diethylamine salicylate and salicylamide were previously shown to be slowly absorbed through rat skin in contrast to salicylic acid and butyl salicylate. After serotonin injections, scratching was monitored by video recording for 1.5 h. Compared with the vehicle, a lower number of scratch sequences were seen when diethylamine salicylate (P < 0.001) and salicylamide (P = 0.005) had been applied. The numbers of scratch sequences were lower with diethylamine salicylate and salicylamide than with the vehicle throughout the 1.5-h study period. We conclude that topical application of diethylamine salicylate and salicylamide could suppress serotonin-induced scratching in rats. The antipruritic effect seems to be related to the slow drug release of the two substances. The results may be clinically relevant as serotonin induces itch in humans.

Method for the extraction of the volatile compound salicylic acid from tobacco leaf material.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a signalling compound in plants which is able to induce systemic acquired resistance. In the analysis of SA in plant tissues, the extraction recovery is often very low and variable. This is mainly caused by sublimation of SA, especially during evaporation of organic solvents. Techniques have been designed in order to overcome this problem. In the first part of the extraction procedure, sublimation of SA was prevented by addition of 0.2 M sodium hydroxide. At a later stage of the extraction procedure, sublimation of SA during solvent evaporation was controlled by the addition of a small amount of HPLC eluent. In this way, recoveries in the range of 71-91% for free SA and 65-79% for acid-hydrolysed SA were obtained. Recoveries could be further optimised by the use of an internal standard to correct for volume changes after the addition of the HPLC eluent.

[Interaction of salicyl compounds and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents: pharmacokinetic study of phenylbutazone-aspirin combination in man].

The pharmacodynamic interaction between phenybutazone and aspirin was studied in 9 patients. The levels of phenylbutazone were estimated by gas-chromatography and verified by mass-spectrometry. When phenylbutazone was administered together with salicylates a decrease in the bioavailability of phenylbutazone was demonstrated, but there was no significant variation in the absorption and elimination constants or in the half-life. The variations were much less than those observed with other nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (indometacine, naproxen, fenoprofen). These interactions must be taken into account in the long-term treatment of cases of inflammatory rheumatism.

Inhibition of Yersinia tyrosine phosphatase by furanyl salicylate compounds.

To avoid detection and targeting by the immune system, the plague-causing bacterium Yersinia pestis uses a type III secretion system to deliver a set of inhibitory proteins into the cytoplasm of immune cells. One of these proteins is an exceptionally active tyrosine phosphatase termed YopH, which paralyzes lymphocytes and macrophages by dephosphorylating critical tyrosine kinases and signal transduction molecules. Because Y. pestis strains lacking YopH are avirulent, we set out to develop small molecule inhibitors for YopH. We used a novel and cost-effective approach, in which leads from a chemical library screening were analyzed and computationally docked into the crystal structure of YopH. This resulted in the identification of a series of novel YopH inhibitors with nanomolar Ki values, as well as the structural basis for inhibition. Our inhibitors lack the polar phosphate-mimicking moiety of rationally designed tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors, and they readily entered live cells and rescued them from YopH-induced tyrosine dephosphorylation, signaling paralysis, and cell death. These inhibitors may become useful for treating the lethal infection by Y. pestis.

Phenolic compounds, sodium salicylate and related compounds, as inhibitors of tumor cell growth and inducers of apoptosis in mouse leukemia L1210 cells.

The effects of a series of phenolic compounds were compared to the effects of sodium salicylate (2-hydroxybenzoate) on the growth, cell cycle and apoptotic effects in wild-type (WT) and deoxyadenosine-resistant (Y8) L1210 leukemia cells. These compounds included: salicylaldehyde, salicylaldoxime, salicylhydroxamic acid, salicylamide, 5-aminosalicylate and 5-sulfosalicylate. The IC50 values for inhibition of tumor cell growth ranged from 40 microM for salicylaldhyde to greater than 4 mM for 5-sulfosalicylate. There appeared to be an excellent correlation between the IC50 value for a compound and the ratio of octanol/aqueous distribution. Salicylamide caused a G2/M block in both the WT and Y8 L1210 cells, while salicylalehyde caused a G0/G1 block in both the WT and Y8 cells. Salicylamide and salicylaldoxime caused a much greater apoptotic effect in the Y8 cells than in the parental WT L210 cells. These data suggest that salicylaldehyde and salicylaldoxime, the most active compounds in this series, may provide the lead chemicals from which other more active drugs can be synthesized.
