Urinary excretion of conjugates of dothiepin and northiaden (mono-N-demethyl-dothiepin) after an oral dose of dothiepin to humans.

Only small amounts of unconjugated dothiepin (unchanged drug) and northiaden were excreted in urine over a 72 hr period. More than 10% of the dose was excreted as conjugated dothiepin and less than 0.8% of the dose as conjugated northiaden. Conjugated dothiepin was thus found to be an important metabolite of dothiepin. Conjugated dothiepin and northiaden were hydrolyzed with beta-glucuronidase, and their hydrolysis inhibited with 1,4 saccharolactone. Conjugated dothiepin and northiaden were found to be a quaternary ammonium-linked glucuronide and a tertiary N-glucuronide, respectively.

Hepatic resection for liver metastasis of sigmoid colon cancer after incomplete percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy.

We report a case of colon cancer with liver metastasis that had been treated previously by sigmoidectomy and partial hepatic segmentectomy. A 55-year-old woman presented with two asynchronous liver metastases, which were treated with percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy. However, evaluation by dynamic computed tomography one week later showed incomplete necrosis in at least one tumor. Surgical resection was subsequently performed and histopathological examination showed the presence of viable cancer cells in both tumors. We conclude that surgical resection is perhaps the best curative method of treatment of metastatic liver tumors of colorectal carcinomas and that dynamic computed tomography is not always accurate for evaluating the effect of microwave coagulation therapy.
