Abstract

The advantages of indirect bonding have been recognised for more than twenty years. However the technique has not gained widespread acceptance as an alternative to conventional direct bonding. Reports of difficulty in achieving adequate isolation of posterior teeth and problems with resin flash and low bond strength may explain the reluctance of the profession to make use of the technique. This paper describes an improved indirect technique which uses a heat cured bonding resin in a way that appears to overcome the reported problems.

Kinetic analysis of deactivation of immobilized alpha-chymotrypsin by water-miscible organic solvent in kyotorphin synthesis.

Two different immobilized chymotrypsin derivatives were used to synthesize kyotorphin, using N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester and L-arginine ethyl ester as substrates, in water-DMF media. The first was adsorbed onto Celite particles and the second was multipoint covalently attached into polyacrylamide gel. In all cases, the conversion of the carboxyl substrate was carried out in first-order reaction conditions. For the adsorbed enzyme, the reaction kinetics deviated from first-order likely due to a fast irreversible inactivation of enzyme during the reaction time even at low DMF concentration (15-20% v/v). The covalent attachment of enzyme resulted in elimination of irreversible activity loss by organic solvent up to 60% (v/v) of DMF. The catalytic activity of the covalent derivative was conserved as appropriate for performing a synthetic reaction up to 60% v/v of DMF (in comparison to 30% v/v for the adsorbed derivative), showing a clear improvement in its stability against reversible denaturation by this solvent. The selectivity of the synthetic reaction was slightly enhanced (from 40-50%) with the increase in DMF concentration to 80% v/v, but it was significantly improved (to 80%) when L-argininamide was used as nucleophile.

Preparation and evaluation of double-phased mucoadhesive suppositories of lidocaine utilizing Carbopol and white beeswax.

In an attempt to restrict drug absorption from suppositories to only the lower rectum, mucoadhesive lidocaine (LID) suppositories were prepared using Witepsol H-15 as a base, and Carbopol 934P (CP) and white beeswax (WAX) as additives. CP has a mucoadhesive property and WAX gives the suppositories stiffness. The suppositories containing 10% CP and 20% WAX stayed in the lower recta of rats for at least 2 h. Double-phased suppositories consisting of a front layer containing 10% CP and 20% WAX and a terminal layer containing LID and various amounts of CP were prepared. In vitro release profiles of LID from double-phased suppositories were similar to conventional single-phased suppositories containing CP alone. Values of AUC(0-6 h) and MRT of LID after administration of double-phased suppositories to rabbits were larger than those for single-phased suppositories with or without CP. On the other hand, the initial plasma metabolites concentrations after administration of double-phased suppositories were significantly lower and tended to exhibit delayed T(max) compared to single-phased suppositories. These results suggest that the double-phased mucoadhesive suppositories suppress initial metabolism of LID, and may be useful for improving bioavailabilities of drugs, like LID, which accept first-pass effect considerably.

Temperature-dependent interaction of thermo-sensitive polymer-modified liposomes with CV1 cells.

Egg yolk phosphatidylcholine liposomes modified with a copolymer of N-acryloylpyrrolidine and N-isopropylacrylamide having a lower critical solution temperature at ca. 40 degrees C were prepared and an effect of temperature on their interaction with CV1 cells was investigated. The unmodified liposomes were taken up by the cells approximately to the same extent after 3 h incubation at 37 and 42 degrees C. In contrast, uptake of the polymer-modified liposomes by CV1 cells decreased slightly at 37 degrees C but increased greatly at 42 degrees C, compared to the unmodified liposomes. Proliferation of the cells was partly prohibited by the incubation with the unmodified liposomes encapsulating methotrexate at 37 and 42 degrees C. The treatment with the polymer-modified liposomes containing methotrexate at 37 degrees C hardly effected the cell growth. However, the treatment at 42 degrees C inhibited the cell growth completely. It is considered that the highly hydrated polymer chains attached to the liposome surface suppressed the liposome-cell interaction below the lower critical solution temperature of the polymer but the dehydrated polymer chains enhanced the interaction above this temperature. Because interaction of the polymer-modified liposomes with cells can be controlled by the ambient temperature, these liposomes may have potential usefulness as efficient site-specific drug delivery systems.
