Abstract

A method is presented to improve the measurements of line spread function (LSF) of gamma cameras that makes use of a digital computer and a moving line source of radioactivity. Data acquisition is done in the dynamic mode with the computer, while the source moves across the collimator face. The resulting LSFs are defined with many curve points that enable very precise calculation of the corresponding modulation transfer function (MTF). The method is easily used in routine checking of gamma cameras. It makes possible a quick and precise determination of LSF for any point in the field of view of the detector.

An efficient route to thioglycosides with the 2,3-anhydro-D-ribo stereochemistry.

An improved route for the synthesis of p-tolyl 2,3-anhydro-5-O-benzoyl-1-thio-beta-D-ribofuranoside and its alpha anomer, which are important intermediates in the synthesis of alpha- and beta-D-arabinofuranosides, has been developed. The products are obtained in six steps from D-xylose in 39% overall yield.

Clinical pharmacokinetic data of racemic drugs obtained by the indirect method following precolumn diastereomer formation: is the influence of racemization during chiral derivatization significant?

This report reviews the stereoselective data of a number of racemic drugs (n = 17) obtained from indirect chiral method (via diastereomer formation) in comparison to similar data generated by the application of a direct chiral method. While it was noted that the indirect method still continued to be used to characterize the stereoselective disposition of racemic drugs, the present review critically evaluates the issue of racemization that has the potential to skew the stereoselective data obtained from the indirect method. The review describes various remedies to counter and/or minimize the impact of racemization on the final outcome of the stereoselective analysis by the indirect method. On the basis of this review it could be concluded that the indirect method is a viable and important tool for gathering stereoselective data of racemic drugs used in medical practice as well for those racemic drugs still in discovery and developmental stages.
