Abstract

The death times of goldfish have been measured in aqueous solutions containing different concentrations of p-substituted acetanilides alone or in the presence of poloxamers. Plots of reciprocal death time versus concentration were linear with a positive concentration intercept, the minimum effective concentration (MEC). The MEC values were directly related to the pi value (hydrophobic-lipophilic constant) of the functional group on the acetanilide indicating that activity is directly related to lipophilicity. Slopes of reciprocal death time versus drug concentration were linearly related to pi values but there was no direct dependence. The presence of poloxamers in aqueous acetanilide solutions reduced the goldfish death time. The effect of the poloxamers is believed to be one of rendering the goldfish membrane more permeable to drugs.

[Evaluation of hepato-biliary functional scintigraphy with 99mTc diethyle-IDA. Findings in normal livers (author's transl)].

Hepato-biliary functional scintigraphy was performed on 51 patients with normal livers after in the injection of 99mTc diethyle-IDA. The results were analysed according the morphological criteria (demonstration of the bile duct, intra-hepatic ducts, gall bladder and renal tract) and functional criteria (T max, half-time biliary excretion values, development of activity in the bile duct, in the gall bladder and in the gut). Demonstration of the bile duct and gall bladder was successful in all cases if the examination was carried out after an appropriate interval following food. 84.3% of patients showed a gall bladder excretary pattern of the tracer and 15.7% a gall bladder storage pattern. Correspondingly, bile appeared in the duodenum at 16.5 +/- 6.5 minutes (excretion) or 79.3 +/- 49.5 minutes (storage). The left hepatic duct was shown in 58.8%, the right hepatic duct in only 58.8%. Sixty minutes after the injection no activity could be determined in the bile ducts beyond the liver parenchyma. The gall bladder could be identified after 26.6 +/- 24.4 minutes, occasionally it was much later, up to 110 minutes. The liver function curve showed a Tmax level of 6.8 +/- 2.7 minutes and half value time of 15.8 +/- 6.7 minutes. At 5 minutes after injection the renal pelvis could be identified in 19.6%, but in no case was this still present beyond 15 minutes. Duodeno-gastric reflux was not demonstrated.

Studies on the origin of the methylsulfonyl-containing metabolites from propachlor.

Metabolites in which the chlorine from propachlor has been replaced by a cysteine group or a methylsulfonyl group [-S(O2) CH3] are present in the urine of rats dosed orally with propachlor. In the present study, urine from rats given single oral doses of 35S-labeled cysteine conjugate of propachlor contained metabolites having the methylsulfonyl groups labeled with 35S. No metabolites containing 14C-labeled methylsulfonyl groups were isolated from urine of rats given single oral doses of the cysteine conjugate of propachlor in which the cysteine group was uniformly labeled with 14C. These findings show that the cysteine conjugate of propachlor is the source of sulfur in the methylsulfonyl-containing metabolites. Therefore, we suggest that a C-S lyase present in the animal cleaves the cysteine conjugate of propachlor and thus allows further metabolism of the sulfur to a methylsulfonyl moiety.
