Effects of chlorpromazine and some of its metabolites on the EEG and on dopamine metabolism of the isolated perfused rat brain.

The study concerned the effects of chlorpromazine (CPZ), monodesmethyl-chlorpromazine (NOR1-CPZ), didesmethyl-chlorpromazine (NOR2-CPZ), and chlorpromazine-N-oxide (CPZ-NO) on the EEG and on dopamine metabolism of the isolated perfused rat brain. Isolated brains were perfused with 100 ml of a perfusion medium containing 30% bovine red cells (v/v), 2 g bovine serum albumin, 14 mM glucose as well as one of the agents in a concentration of 10 micrometers. The main dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) was measured fluorimetrically in the striatum of the isolated brain. The EEG was recorded by two symmetrical bipolar leads from the parietal regions at various times during the 30 min perfusion period and was stored on magnetic tape. The recordings were evaluated visually and quantitatively by automatic analysis. CPZ-NO was found to be the most active agent both in changing the EEG and in elevating the HVA level in the striatum. The mean EEG amplitude and the slow wave activity increased significantly. The increase of the HVA level in the striatum was correlated with the increase of delta waves as well as excess of kurtosis and skewness calculated from the amplitude histography data. The desmethylated metabolites caused only moderate central effects.

[Analytical data and preparation of important 3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one derivatives (author's transl)].

The article describes analytical data (TLC, IR, MS) of 7-chloro-1-methyl-1,3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (3-hydroxydiazepam) and 7-cyclopropyl-methyl-1,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazpin-2-one (3-hydroxy-prazepam). Analytical properties of important derivatives (N-oxides, 3-acetoxy compounds, re-arrangement products) are also reported. Besides preparation methods are given for the synthesis of these substances, considering in particular preparation as solution-reactions as well as reaction on the TLC-plate.

[Accumulation of phosphate ions in biological materials, phosphate ion diffusion and electron microscopical investigations of phosphohydrolases (author's transl)].

Isolated unfixed nuclei of mouse liver accumulate different amounts of phosphate ions dependent on pH, temperature and concentration of phosphate ions. At 37 degrees C and pH = 7.2, 8.5 X 10(9) binding places and a stability constant of 2.0 +/- 0,5 . 10(4) l/mol were calculated, the data at 30 degrees C and pH = 6.5 are 4 X 10(9) Nucleus-1 and 6 X 10(3) l/mol. Nuclei fixed by formaldehyde-ethanol or glutaraldehyde do not accumulated phosphate ions. Under conditions of nearly undisturbed diffusion phosphate ions taken up by the nuclei and precipitated by the help of lead ions are detected electron microscopically in the nuclear envelope, preferently in intracisternal space. Nucleoprotein structures do not show enrichments of crystals. These structures are also not stained after precipitation of phosphate ions under conditions of diminuation of diffusion. A possible mode of phosphate binding in cell nuclei and the influence of adsorbed phosphate ions on localization of enzymatic activities are discussed.

[Studies on the analysis of nifedipine considering in particular transformation products formed by light exposition (author's transl)].

Under the influence of light (VIS and UV) on thin-layer plates and in liquid solutions, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(0-nitro-phenyl)-pyridine-3,5-carboxylic acid dimethylester (nifedipine, Adalat) is converted to the nitroso compound 4-(2-'nitrosophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dicarbomethoxy-pyridine. The article also describes TLC-, GLC-, UV-, IR- and MS-data of nifedipine, the nitroso and the nitro derivative.

[Studies on the detection of clonazepam and its main metabolites considering in particular thin-layer chromatography discrimination of nitrazepam and its major metabolic products (author's transl)].

The article describes analytical methods concerning screening tests for clonazepam and nitrazepam and the 7-amino derivatives. Further a detailed method is reported for the separation and identificatin of the benzodiazepine pair de. The method described permits a sharp separation and the nitro compounds with TiCl3 on the plate and forming the 7-acetamido derivatives by subsequent separation in the second dimension with ethyl acetate/acetic anhydride. The method described permits a sharp separation and highly sensitive detection by diazotization and coupling with Bratton-Marshall reagent. Amounts as low as 0.02 microng per spot can be detected. Besides preparation methods are reported for 7-aminoclonazepam, 7-acetaminoclonazepam, 2-amino-2'-chloro-5-nitrobenzophenone and 2,5-diamino-2'-chlorobenzophenone. Also spectral data (UV, IR, MS) and a literature review are given.
