[Saponins from Thinouia coriacea].

The investigation of the stems of Thinouia coriacea Britton (Sapindaceae), an ichthyotoxic plant from South Brazil, afforded eight glycosides of oleanolic acid. Structures were assigned based on data from partial hydrolysis. 13C-NMR and mass spectral procedures as 3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (1), 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside+ ++ (2), 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (3), 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2 )-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (4), 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4 )]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (5), 3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1----3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2) [beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)[alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (6), 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2 )[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (8). Saponin 7 showed the same sugars as 8, but the attachment between the sugars could not be elucidated. The same saponins were present in the roots, but not in the leaves.

Influence of phenylbutazone, mofebutazone and aspirin on the pharmacokinetics of dexamethasone in the rat.

Phenylbutazone suppresses the C-6 hydroxylation, absorption rate, bioavailability, and renal and plasma clearanceè rates of dexamethasone administered orally to normal and oedemateous rats. It increases the half life and the volume of distribution. Aspirin exerts an effect which is less pronounced and involves the enhancement of the C-6 hydroxylation. Aspirin suppresses the half life and renal clearance of dexamethasone and enhances its hepatic clearance. Mofebutazone does not exert any pronounced influence. Also, unlike phenylbutazone, it does not interfere with the gastrointestinal absorption of dexamethasone. More rapid onset of absorption, decrease of half life and increase of the contribution of renal clearance to total plasma clearance of dexamethasone, are characteristics of the oedematous condition in the rat. The contribution of renal clearance to the elimination of dexamethasone is much greater in the rat than in human subjects. The presence of a third unconjugated metabolite of dexamethaone in the urine of rat has been demonstrated.

Effect of benzyl nicotinate on the percutaneous absorption of dexamethasone in the rat.

The effect of benzyl nicotinate (15 mg) on the percutaneous absorption of dexamethasone 0,1 mg (62,5 uCi)/6 cm2, in an ethanol/octanol vehicle has been investigated in the rat. Both the urinary excretion and blood concentration data showed that benzyl nicotinate had a pronounced stimulating effect on the rate and extent of absorption. The relative bioavailability of dexamethasone was found to be 120% (urinary excretion data) or 146% (blood concentration data). Peak blood concentration increased greatly and was reached more quickly (1 1/2 hours instead of 2 1/2 hours).

Disposition of [4-14C]mofebutazone in the rat.

The absorption and elimination of radioactivity after the oral or intraperitoneal administration of[4-14C]mofebutazone was studied in rats. The blood concentration of radioactivity reached a maximum after about 0.7 h, fell rapidly until about 2 h, and then declined slowly. There was sometimes a second peak between 3-6 h. Elimination of radioactivity in urine and feces was extensive and rapid. Over a 24 h period, 73% of the orally administered radioactivity was eliminated in the urine and 15% in the faeces; most of this was eliminated during the first 8 h (89% of the urine radioactivity, 56% of the faeces radioactivity). In anaesthetized rats with cannulated bile ducts, 94% of the intraperitoneally injected radioactivity was eliminated in the bile over a 6 h period. Most of the radioactivity (about 85%) eliminated in the bile and the urine was in the form of a glucuronide and only small amounts less than 10%, was in the form of mofebutazone.
