Simulation of the bis-(penicillamine) enkephalin in ammonium chloride solution: a comparison with sodium chloride.

In order to quantify specific ion effects, a simulation study of bis(penicllamine) enkephalin, also known as DPDPE, has been performed in aqueous ammonium chloride solution and has been compared to a previous simulation of DPDPE in aqueous sodium chloride solution. Global thermodynamics have been calculated for a model system and the solution environment around DPDPE has been characterized. Associations of ions with DPDPE have been investigated. The observed differences between sodium chloride solution and ammonium chloride solution suggest that individual cations affect the solvation and peptide binding properties of a given anion.

Effect of chloride on renin and blood pressure responses to sodium chloride.

Both the inhibition of renin release by sodium chloride and salt-sensitive hypertension have been attributed to sodium. We evaluated the contribution of chloride to these responses to sodium chloride. In the Sprague-Dawley rat, acute and chronic administration of sodium salts other than sodium chloride failed to suppress plasma renin activity, whereas renin was inhibited by both sodium chloride and by selective chloride (without sodium) loading. Plasma renin activity was stimulated by selective chloride depletion. Similarly, in humans, plasma renin activity was suppressed by sodium chloride but not by sodium bicarbonate infusion. In a preliminary study in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat, in contrast to sodium chloride loading, sodium bicarbonate loading failed to produce hypertension. Thus, both the renin and possibly the blood pressure responses to sodium chloride are dependent on chloride.

The influence of particles of a minor component on the matrix strength of sodium chloride.

This paper deals with the matrix strength of sodium chloride particles in pure sodium chloride tablets and in tablets compressed from binary mixtures of sodium chloride with low concentrations of pregelatinised starch. Because this study concerns the strength of the sodium chloride matrix, the tablet strength is reflected as a function of the sodium chloride volume fraction in the tablet. Starch particles in the mixture tablets decrease the sodium chloride volume fraction-tensile strength relationship compared with that of pure sodium chloride tablets. To determine the contribution of the sodium chloride matrix to the tablet strength, the starch particles were removed from the mixture tablets by heat treatment. Determination of the strengths of these heat-treated tablets reveals that the sodium chloride matrix strength determines the tablet strength of mixture tablets containing a single matrix of sodium chloride particles. The decrease of the sodium chloride matrix density in the three different tablets (pure sodium chloride tablets, mixture tablets and heat-treated tablets) is reflected by an increase of the median pore size. The matrix in sodium chloride tablets shows a higher tensile strength to median pore size relation than the matrices in the mixture and heat-treated tablets. Based on calculations according to the theory of elastic-brittle fracture, it is suggested that the initial presence of starch particles during tablet compaction causes the pores in the matrices of the mixtures and heat-treated tablets to be relatively more flat and longer. These pores weaken the sodium chloride matrix in the mixture and heat-treated tablets to a larger extent than the shorter, more spherical pores formed during compaction of pure sodium chloride.

Chorda tympani nerve transection disrupts taste aversion learning to potassium chloride, but not sodium chloride.

In Experiment 1, rats with chorda tympani nerve transection (CTX) acquired a LiCl-conditioned taste aversion to 0.1 M NaCl at the same rate as controls. After 3 conditioning trials, the aversion generalized to 0.03 and 0.3 M NaCl, but did not generalize to KCI (0.03, 0.1, and 0.3 M), in either the sham or CTX group. In Experiment 2, the sham group, but not the CTX group, formed an aversion to 0.1 M KCI after 1 trial. The CTX rats did form a moderate aversion after 2 conditioning trials. Following the 3rd trial, the CTX group did not suppress licking to 0.03 or 0.3 M KCI or any concentration of NaCl in relation to controls. Although there is strong evidence that CTX affects NaCl taste perception, these findings indicate that, under certain conditions, rats can nonetheless distinguish NaCl from KCI after such neurotomy. Moreover, CTX appears to have a substantial effect on the perceived intensity of KCl.

Storage in sodium chloride does not impair arterial prostacyclin release.

Heparinised sodium chloride solution is often used for the storage of veins and to prevent clotting in the arterial tree during vascular surgery. Sodium chloride deranges the morphology of endothelial cells and has therefore been interpreted as "toxic" to the endothelial cell. Perfused human saphenous veins and rabbit aortas show the same pattern of prostanoid release even though veins have a lower release than arteries. Excised rabbit aortas were stored in either (a) 0.9% sodium chloride or (b) 0.9% sodium chloride with heparin 5 I.U. ml-1 prior to being mounted in a perfusion model. The vessels were perfused ex vivo for 5 x 15 min with either Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS), calcium- and magnesium-free HBSS or 0.9% sodium chloride. For the last period, arachidonic acid (AA) 4 micrograms ml-1 was added. The release of prostacyclin, measured as the stable degradation product 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by radioimmunoassay, was not altered by storage in sodium chloride, or 0.9% sodium chloride plus heparin when compared with control segments. Perfusion with 0.9% sodium chloride did, however, significantly (p greater than 0.05) decrease the prostacyclin production when AA was added. This is most likely to be due to the low pH of the sodium chloride solution. It is concluded that short-term storage of rabbit aorta in sodium chloride plus heparin or 0.9% sodium chloride does not impair the prostacyclin cascade from the vessel wall, which might be of importance when choosing storage medium for reversed veins and veins used for coronary bypass surgery.

Effect of sodium chloride on the release, absorption and safety of diclofenac sodium delivered by poloxamer gel.

Poloxamer solutions prepared with poloxamers and sodium chloride were previously reported to undergo a phase transition to bioadhesive gels at body temperature. For the development of a thermosensitive diclofenac sodium-loaded poloxamer gel, here we investigated the effect of sodium chloride on the release, safety and rectal absorption in rats of diclofenac sodium delivered by the poloxamer gels. P 188 delayed the release rates of diclofenac sodium from poloxamer gels. However, sodium chloride showed no significant effect on the release rates of diclofenac sodium from poloxamer gels. Release mechanism analysis showed the release of diclofenac sodium was proportional to the time. The initial plasma concentrations of diclofenac sodium in the rectal formulation [diclofenac sodium/poloxamer 407 (P 407)/poloxamer 188 (P 188)/sodium chloride (2.5/15/17/0.8%)] were significantly higher compared with those in semi-solid suppository. Furthermore, it gave significantly faster Tmax of diclofenac sodium than did semi-solid suppository, indicating that the diclofenac sodium from poloxamer gel could be absorbed faster than that from semi-solid one in rats. It did not cause any morphological damage to the rectal tissues. These results suggested that poloxamer gel with sodium chloride could be a more effective and safe rectal delivery system of diclofenac sodium.

Effect of pretreatment with 0.9% sodium chloride or insulin solutions on the delivery of insulin from an infusion system.

The effect of pretreating a polyvinyl chloride i.v. administration system with sodium chloride or insulin solution on the delivery of insulin was studied. Insulin labeled with iodine 125 was added to human insulin, which was added to 0.9% sodium chloride injection packaged in flexible polyvinyl chloride containers and to 0.9% sodium chloride injection placed in empty ethylene vinyl acetate containers. Samples were tested for insulin content by gamma spectrometry after storage in the bags and after infusion through four different polyvinyl chloride administration sets at different flow rates. Effluent samples were collected at 10 times (6-50 minutes) after the start of the infusion. The 0.9% sodium chloride injection had a conditioning effect on the polyvinyl chloride administration sets, indicating an electrostatic sorption mechanism for insulin. Sorption to the untreated polyvinyl chloride sets and the ethylene vinyl acetate bags was substantial and followed a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Insulin sorption to the untreated administration sets was greatest from the first 100 mL of effluent and did not differ by flow rate or type of set investigated. Storing the sodium chloride injection in the tubing for one hour or flushing the tubing with 100 mL of sodium chloride injection or 100 mL of the insulin admixture decreased sorption by half. Storing the insulin admixture in the tubing for 30 minutes caused sorption to be reduced by a factor of three. When either of the solutions was stored in the set and then the set was flushed with the solution, sorption was even further suppressed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Shape Transition in Micelles of Undecylammonium Chloride in the Presence of Sodium Chloride and n-Butanol: A Study by Dynamic Light Scattering.

Dynamic light scattering measurements have been performed on micellar solutions of undecylammonium chloride in the presence of 0 to 0.5 mol dm(-3) n-butanol and 0 to 0.2 mol dm(-3) sodium chloride. The results support opposing effects of these additives on micellar growth, with the n-butanol causing a reduction of micelle size. The dependence of the aggregation number on the hydrodynamic radius suggests a transition from sphere to prolate ellipsoid when the aggregation number approximates that predicted for the maximum aggregation number of a spherical micelle. Micelle dimensions calculated from the aggregation number, conformational considerations, and packing criteria of the monomers in the micelle are compared with those from dynamic light scattering data.

The effect of surfactants on the deliquescence of sodium chloride.

This study investigated the deliquescence of sodium chloride aerosol with surfactants at a retention time of 4.24 sec. Two surfactants used in this study, glutaric acid and pyruvic acid, are found in atmospheric aerosol and have a high hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) value. The experimental system consisted of a relative humidity conditioner, a tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA) and a scanning mobility particle sizing (SMPS) system. Results obtained from the observation of TDMA presented the deliquescence point of sodium chloride aerosol at 75% RH. In addition, the growth size of sodium chloride aerosol was observed to be 79.47 nm and the growth ratio was 77.94%, when the initial size of aerosol was 101.82 nm. Surfactants were internally mixed with sodium chloride at six different weight fractions, i.e. 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60% by weight of surfactants in dry aerosol. Both surfactants apparently decreased the deliquescence point of sodium chloride, in which the lowest deliquescence point appeared at about 71% RH when the weight fraction of surfactants is 60% by weight of surfactants in dry aerosol. Moreover, the smallest size of sodium chloride aerosol with surfactants was 142.7 nm at 60% by weight of pyruvic acid in dry aerosol. Our results further demonstrate that the deliquescence point and size of sodium chloride aerosol with surfactants are related to the weight fraction of surfactants.

Effects of sodium chloride, saccharin, phenobarbital and aspirin on gastric carcinogenesis in rats after initiation with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.

Sodium chloride, saccharin sodium, phenobarbital sodium and aspirin were tested for tumor-promoting activity in the glandular stomach of rats after initiation with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) coupled with administration of a high salt diet. Male outbred Wistar rats were given MNNG in the drinking water (100 mg/liter) for 8 weeks, and during this period they were fed on diet supplemented with 10% sodium chloride. Thereafter, they were divided into 5 groups and fed on the basal diet or one of various diets supplemented with 10% sodium chloride, 5% saccharin, 0.05% phenobarbital or 1% aspirin until the end of the experiment. All animals were killed at the 40th experimental week for necropsy and histological examination. The incidence of adenocarcinoma was increased in the group given sodium chloride following initiation by MNNG and sodium chloride as compared with the group given MNNG and sodium chloride initiation only, but not significantly. However, the incidence of preneoplastic hyperplasia was significantly increased in this group. Saccharin also enhanced the development of adenocarcinomas of the glandular stomach. The results indicated that dietary administration of sodium chloride or saccharin after MNNG tends to promote tumor development. Phenobarbital or aspirin did not enhance tumor development, aspirin in fact rather showing a tendency to decrease the tumor incidence.

Effects of postexsanguination vascular infusion of carcasses with calcium chloride or a solution of saccharides, sodium chloride, and phosphates on beef display-color stability.

Hereford x Angus crossbred steers (n = 36) were stunned, exsanguinated, and infused via the carotid artery either with an aqueous solution containing 98.52% water, 0.97% saccharides, 0.23% sodium chloride, and 0.28% phosphates (MPSC; n = 12) or with 0.3 M CaCl2 (n = 12). The remaining 12 steers served as noninfused controls. At 48 h postmortem, the quadriceps muscles and subcutaneous fat were removed from the carcasses, frozen, and later made into ground beef (18 to 20% fat). The longissimus lumborum (LL), semimembranosus, and psoas major (PM) also were removed, vacuum packaged, aged until 14 d postmortem, and then one steak was sliced from each muscle for visual and instrumental color evaluations. The inside (ISM) and outside (OSM) portions of the SM were evaluated separately. The LL and OSM steaks from MPSC-infused carcasses had a lighter red (P < 0.05) initial appearance than steaks from the other treatments. The LL steaks from noninfused carcasses had the most (P < 0.05) uniform color; the MPSC treatment was intermediate, and the CaCl2 treatment was the most two-toned. Steaks from both infusion treatments had higher (P < 0.05) L* values for the LL, ISM, and OSM muscles compared with noninfused carcasses. In general, the LL from CaCl2-infused carcasses had lower (P < 0.05) a* values, saturation indices, and 630 nm to 580 nm reflectance values, and had larger (P < 0.05) hue angles. Infusion with MPSC increased (P < 0.05) hue angles in the LL and OSM. Display color stability was lowest (P < 0.05) for LL steaks from CaCl2-infused carcasses, whereas steaks from MPSC-infused carcasses were lighter red in initial color, but otherwise had display color stability similar to those from noninfused carcasses. No differences (P > 0.05) due to infusion were found for any color traits for the PM muscle and ground beef. Carotid artery vascular infusion of carcasses with CaCl2 resulted in undesirable meat colors, whereas the MPSC solution lightened loin and inside round color in a desirable way, but the color stability was slightly less compared to muscle from noninfused carcasses. Infusion effects were not consistent among muscles, and further research will be needed to determine what caused these differences.

Ultracentrifugal study of effect of sodium chloride on micelle size of fusidate sodium.

Apparent micellar molecular weights were determined with the antibiotic fusidate sodium by ultracentrifugation in varying counterion concentrations (Na+). The effects of buffer salts, pH, sodium chloride concentration, and drug concentration were studied. The results strongly support the concept of the formation of primary micelles composed of five monomer units, followed by aggregation of the pentomers into larger micelles as salt concentration increases.
