Diuretic-associated hypomagnesaemia.

Clinically suspected hypomagnesaemia was confirmed in 21 patients over 12 months; all patients had been exposed to either short-term vigorous diuretic treatment or moderate-dosage long-term treatment. Magnesium depletion was compounded by a hospital diet surprisingly low in magnesium, a local soft water supply, and, in some patients, high alcohol intake. Common presenting symptoms included depression, muscle weakness, refractory hypokalaemia, and atrial fibrillation refractory to digoxin treatment. The administration of magnesium supplements resulted in prompt improvement of all symptoms particularly in the case of refractory atrial fibrillation. Chronic low-grade magnesium deficiency from diuretic treatment is more common than published reports suggest. Older patients are at risk, particularly those who have excessive alcohol intake, a diet low in magnesium, or a soft water supply.

Extracellular magnesium decreases the secretory response of rat peritoneal mast cells to compound 48/80 in vitro.

Exposure of rat peritoneal mast cells to magnesium in the absence of extracellular calcium resulted in a time- and dose-dependent decrease in the secretory response induced by compound 48/80. The decrease was prevented by a low extracellular concentration of calcium. Furthermore, the decreased secretory responsiveness was dose-dependently restored by the addition of calcium to the cells simultaneously with compound 48/80. Preincubation with magnesium also inhibited antigen-induced histamine secretion in a dose-dependent manner. This was reversed by the simultaneous addition of calcium and the secretory stimulus. A dose-dependent decrease in antigen induced histamine secretion that was reversed by calcium was also observed. Exposure of the mast cells to magnesium for 15 min resulted in a parallel decrease in histamine secretion and in the cellular content of 45Ca2+. These observations suggest that magnesium may decrease the secretory response by displacing the cellular calcium which is utilized in stimulus-secretion coupling.

Application of the lithium and magnesium initiators for the synthesis of glycolide, lactide, and epsilon-caprolactone copolymers biocompatible with brain tissue.

The subject of this work is new method of the synthesis of biodegradable copolymers compatible with brain tissue. Copolymerization of glycolide with lactide was conducted in solution or in bulk in the presence of LiBu, LiAcac, MgBu(2), Mg(acac)(2) as initiators. In all cases, copolymers with molecular weight of 20000-40000 were obtained, which enables to use them as drug carriers. During the reactions of copolymer chain growth, the intermolecular transesterification occurs, changing the distribution of comonomeric units in copolymer chain. Magnesium initiators showed a lower contribution to transesterification in comparison with lithium and calcium compounds. The copolymerization of glycolide with epsilon-caprolactone using magnesium compounds as initiators was also described. The random glycolide/epsilon-caprolactone copolymer (10/90) obtained with MgBu(2) was used in in vivo study in the forms of microspheres and foils. Complete degradation of microspheres during 6 weeks was observed after the implantation to brain tissue. All implanted copolymers are compatible with brain tissue.

Neutralization of acid in the rumen by magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate.

Two reagent and two feed grade magnesium oxides and reagent grade magnesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate were evaluated to ascertain their ability to neutralize acid in the rumen. Rumen fluid pH was increased in vitro, compared to the control, by antacid compounds, and their increased ranked: calcium carbonate less than feed grade magnesium oxide A less than light magnesium oxide and feed grade magnesium oxide B less than heavy magnesium oxide less than magnesium carbonate less than sodium bicarbonate. Titrations at constant pH's ranging from 3.0 to 7.5 indicated that these magnesium compounds were reactive at pH's normally in the rumen although reactivity decreased with increasing pH. Intraruminal doses of feed grade magnesium oxide A and calcium carbonate did not change rumen fluid pH for other compounds ranked: feed grade magnesium oxide B less than magnesium carbonate less than heavy magnesium oxide. Feeding of heavy magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate increased rumen fluid pH as compared to the control diet. Feeding feed grade magnesium oxide B in three quantities to cattle resulted in proportional increased in fecal pH and fluidity of feces. Two feed grade magnesium oxides differed in their ability to neutralize acid in the rumen.

Molecular interaction in alginate beads reinforced with sodium starch glycolate or magnesium aluminum silicate, and their physical characteristics.

Diclofenac calcium-alginate (DCA) beads were reinforced with different amounts of sodium starch glycolate (SSG) or magnesium aluminum silicate (MAS) and were prepared using ionotropic gelation method. Complex formation of sodium alginate (SA) and SSG or MAS in calcium-alginate beads was revealed using FTIR spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetric study indicated that diclofenac sodium (DS) in amorphous form was dispersed in the matrix of DCA beads. The thermal behavior of SSG-DCA and MAS-DCA beads was similar to the control bead. Both additives can improve the entrapment efficiency of DCA beads. The swelling and water uptake of the beads depended on the properties of incorporated additives. The SSG-DCA beads showed a higher water uptake and swelling than MAS-DCA beads. Moreover, the swelling of the beads showed a good correlation with the square root of time. The release kinetic of the beads in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer was swelling controlled mechanism, while that in distilled water followed Higuchi's model. The slower release rate and the longer lag time in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer was obtained from the SSG-DCA and MAS-DCA beads because of complex formation between SA and SSG or MAS. However, SSG in the beads could increase the release of DS from the beads in distilled water because it acted as a channeling agent. In contrast, MAS retarded the release of DS from the beads in distilled water due to the stronger matrix formation.

Bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of magnesium after administration of magnesium salts to humans.

Therapeutically, magnesium salts represent an important class of compounds and exhibit various pharmacologic actions. Examples of magnesium salts are ionic magnesium and magnesium citrate in nephrolithiasis, magnesium salicylate in rheumatoid arthritis, magnesium hydroxide as an antacid as well as a cathartic, and magnesium mandelate as urinary antiseptic. Various anions attached to the cation magnesium, such as oxide, chloride, gluconate, and lactate, affect the delivery of the amounts of elemental magnesium to the target site and thereby produce different pharmacodynamic effects. This review examines the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of various magnesium salts and correlates pharmacodynamic action with the structure-activity relationship.

Interactions between magnesium and iron. In vitro studies.

In vitro experiments were performed to study the effects of magnesium (Mg) on the absorption of iron (Fe), which have been reported in the literature. Both poorly soluble Mg compounds (Mg oxide and Mg trisilicate) and a readily soluble Mg salt (Mg aspartate hydrochloride trihydrate) were studied along with ferrous gluconate. The influence of the addition of Mg aspartate hydrochloride, Mg oxide and Mg trisilicate on the pH of aqueous acidic solutions was examined initially. As expected, the Mg salts employed as antacids (Mg oxide and Mg trisilicate) were found to have a potent neutralising effect, while after the addition of Mg aspartate hydrochloride the pH value was only slightly shifted toward the alkaline side. These findings suggest that Mg aspartate hydrochloride--unlike Mg oxide and Mg trisilicate--has no appreciable influence on Fe absorption, as the availability of Fe salts in the intestinal tract is pH dependent. A procedure simulating the physiological variations of the pH value in the gastrointestinal tract was used to determine the Fe and Mg content in the supernatant after the addition of the above Fe and Mg salts to aqueous solutions. The addition of poorly water-soluble Mg compounds was shown to result in a drastic reduction in the amount of Fe contained in the supernatant. These data are in agreement with those reported in the literature. However, no decrease in the amount of dissolved Fe was noted in the presence of Mg aspartate hydrochloride. These findings confirm that poorly water-soluble Mg compounds have a high capacity to adsorb Fe and, thus, interfere with Fe absorption.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Laboratory and pilot-scale phosphate and ammonium removal by controlled struvite precipitation following coagulation and flocculation of swine wastewater.

To reduce the suspended solids load to a trickling filter installation, raw swine effluent was pre-treated with ferric chloride and a cationically charged polyacrylamide coagulant resulting in unexpected struvite accumulation downstream of this post-separation process. Using this pre-treated swine manure, struvite precipitation studies were carried out as a function of pH at laboratory and pilot batch and continuously operated scales. An optimal reaction time of 30 min was established for struvite precipitation in the pre-treated swine wastewater at pH 8.5, minimizing the co-precipitation of interfering minerals. Ferric chloride addition resulted in magnesium solubilization, such that no external additional source of magnesium was required for struvite formation. Aeration alone did not result in significant pH increases, so base addition was required for pH adjustment. X-ray diffraction revealed that the only crystalline phase produced was struvite. Removal of phosphate and ammonium attained 98% and 17% respectively in laboratory scale experiments. At the pilot-scale, removal attained 99% and 15% of phosphate and ammonium in both batch and continuously HRT = 1h) operated reactors.

Coordination chemistry and reactivity of monomeric alkoxides and amides of magnesium and zinc supported by the diiminato ligand CH(CMeNC(6)H(3)-2,6-(i)Pr(2))(2). A comparative study.

The preparation and characterization of a series of closely related magnesium and zinc compounds are reported: LMg(N(i)Pr(2))(THF), 1; LZn(N(i)Pr(2)), 2; LMg(O(t)Bu)(THF), 3; LZn(O(t)Bu), 4; and LZn(OSiPh(3))(THF), 6; where L = CH(CMeNC(6)H(3)-2,6-(i)Pr(2))(2). Their dynamic solution behavior has been examined by variable-temperature NMR studies and reveals that THF reversibly dissociates in toluene-d(8) or CD(2)Cl(2) and that exchange with free THF occurs by a dissociative process. Compounds 1-4 and 6 all initiate and subsequently sustain ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactides. For a related series of compounds LMX(THF)(n)(), where n = 1 or 0, the rate of initial ring-opening follows the order M = Mg > Zn and X = O(t)Bu > N(i)Pr(2) > NSi(2)Me(6) > OSiPh(3). In THF at 25 degrees C, compounds 3 and 4 polymerize 100 equiv of rac-lactide to >95% conversion in 5 and 80 min for M = Mg and Zn, respectively, and yield ca. 90% heterotactic PLA, (isi + sis tetrads). The reactions proceed faster in methylene chloride, but for M = Mg, a Bernoulian distribution of tetrads is formed from rac-lactide (3iii:2isi:sii:sis:iis) prior to trans-esterification. Polymerization of L-LA in toluene-d(8) and THF-d(8) by 3 and 4 have been studied by VT (1)H NMR spectroscopy: the resting state for zinc is proposed to be a monomeric species akin to LZn(eta(2)-OCHMeC(O)OMe), whereas the magnesium complex appears to be dimeric LMg(mu-OP)(2)MgL. None of the compounds is capable of initiating homopolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) or cyclohexene oxide (CHO), although the magnesium amide 1 effects ring-opening by allylic proton abstraction and the dimeric compound [LMg(mu-OC(6)H(9))](2), 7, is formed. Reactions with carbon dioxide are also described, along with the characterization of LZnO(2)CN(i)Pr(2), 8, which is shown to be inert with respect to CHO and PO at room temperature. All the compounds are hydrolytically sensitive, and LZn(mu-OH)(2)ZnL, 5, has been isolated from hydrolysis of compound 4. The crystal and molecular structures are reported for compounds 1-5, 7, and 8. These results are compared with those recently reported by Coates et al.
