A recyclable fluorous (S)-pyrrolidine sulfonamide promoted direct, highly enantioselective Michael addition of ketones and aldehydes to nitroolefins in water.

[reaction: see text] A recycle and reusable fluorous (S)-pyrrolidine sulfonamide organocatalyst has been developed for promoting highly enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition reactions of ketones and aldehydes with nitroolefins in water. The organocatalyst is conveniently recovered from the reaction mixtures by fluorous solid-phase extraction and can be subsequently reused (up to six cycles) without a significant loss of catalytic activity and stereoselectivity.

Microcosm evaluation of the effects of an eight pharmaceutical mixture to the aquatic macrophytes Lemna gibba and Myriophyllum sibiricum.

Pharmaceuticals have been detected in surface waters of the US and Europe, originating largely from two sources, sewage effluent and agricultural runoff. These compounds often occur as mixtures leading to potential combined effects. In order to investigate the effects of a realistic pharmaceutical mixture on an ecosystem, a study utilizing 15 of 12,000 L aquatic microcosms treated with eight common pharmaceuticals (atorvastatin, acetaminophen, caffeine, sulfamethoxazole, carbamazepine, levofloxacin, sertraline, and trimethoprim) at total (summed) molar concentrations of 0, 0.044, 0.608, 2.664, and 24.538 micromol/L (n = 3) was conducted. Phytotoxicity was assessed on a variety of somatic and pigment endpoints in rooted (Myriophyllum sibiricum) and floating (Lemna gibba) macrophytes over a 35-day period. EC10, EC25 and EC50 values were calculated for each endpoint exhibiting a concentration-dependent response. Generally, M. sibiricum and L. gibba displayed similar sensitivity to the pharmaceutical mixture, with phytotoxic injury evident in both species, which was concentration dependent. Through single compound 7-day daily static renewal toxicity tests with L. gibba, the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfamethoxazole, the fluoroquinolone antibiotic levofloxacin and the blood lipid regulator atorvastatin were found to be the only compounds to elicit phytotoxic effects in the concentration range utilized (0-1000 microg/L). Atorvastatin concentration was highly correlated to decreased pigment content in L. gibba, likely inhibiting the known target enzyme HMGR, the rate-limiting enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis. Hazard quotients were calculated for both microcosm and laboratory studies; the highest HQ values were 0.235 (L. gibba) and 0.051 (L. gibba), which are below the threshold value of 1 for chronic risks. The microcosm data suggest that at an ecological effect size of >20%, biologically significant risks are low for L. gibba and M. sibiricum exposed to similar mixtures of pharmaceutical compounds. For M. sibiricum and L. gibba, respective minimum differences of 5 and 1%, were detectable, however, these effect sizes are not considered ecologically significant.

Activated sulfonamides are cleaved by glutathione-S-transferases.

In preclinical pharmacokinetic studies and in in vitro rat, dog, and human primary hepatocyte incubations, the sulfonamide (-NH-SO(2)-) bond of a potent inhibitor of the HIV-1 protease containing the p-cyanopyridinyl moiety (PNU-109112), undergoes metabolic cleavage to form the corresponding amine metabolite (PNU-143070). Strikingly, a compound, PNU-140690, obtained by substituting the cyanopyridinyl group of PNU-109112 with a trifluoropyridinyl moiety, was stable under the same in vivo and in vitro conditions used for PNU-109112. The apparent "sulfonamidase activity" present in liver was localized to the cytosolic fraction and shown to be an enzyme-mediated reaction requiring reduced glutathione (GSH). The enzyme responsible was purified in a single step on a GSH immobilized gel and was identified as glutathione-S-transferase (GST) by sequence analysis of peptides obtained by tryptic digestion of the purified protein. Moreover, a mixture of GST isoenzymes purified from rat liver, and three recombinant human GST isoforms, A1-1, M1-1, and P1-1, were active toward PNU-109112 sulfonamide cleavage; the three isoforms exhibited differential rates of PNU-109112 cleavage, demonstrating isoenzyme selectivity.

Analysis of Trimethoprim--sulfonamide drug combinations in dosage forms by UV spectroscopy and liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Derivative and difference spectrophotometric methods are described for the direct simultaneous analysis of combinations of Trimethoprim with sulfonamide drugs (sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethoxypyridazine) in commercial dosage forms. The more advantageous approach (derivative and difference mode) is suggested for each binary mixture. The assay results are compared with those obtained by a new chromatographic (HPLC) method, involving a C-18 column and a mobile phase (pH 6.5) containing 1.8 diaminooctane as amine modifier and sodium heptansulfonate as ion pairing agent.

Stereoselective hydroxylation of nonpeptidic HIV protease inhibitors by CYP2D6.

PNU-106893, N-{3-[1-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-6-phenyl-6-propyl-5, 6-dihydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)-2, 2-dimethylpropyl]phenyl}-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-sulfonamide, is a selective HIV aspartyl protease inhibitor under evaluation as a potential oral treatment of acquired immunodeficiency disease. PNU-106893 is a mixture of four stereoisomers, designated PNU-109165 (3alphaR, 6S), PNU-109166 (3alphaR, 6R), PNU-109167 (3alphaS, 6S), and PNU-109168 (3alphaS, 6R). The major P450 isoforms involved in the metabolism of PNU-106893 and its pure stereoisomers are identified as CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. The major oxidative biotransformation pathway of PNU-106893 which occurs in microsomal incubations appears to be hydroxylation of the phenylethyl side chain attached to the C-6 carbon of the dihydropyrone ring. This hydroxylation is mediated by CYP2D6 only and the process is stereoselective for the 6R absolute stereochemistry. The configuration at position 3 appears to play a minor role in the CYP2D6 mediated hydroxylation. These insights have impacted drug candidate selection for this class of compounds.

A simplified high-pressure liquid chromatography method for determining lipophilicity for structure-activity relationships.

A highly deactivated octadecyl-bonded silica column and a mobile phase consisting of an water-methanol mixture in the range of blood pH and ionic strength are used to correlate log kappa' with biological activity for a series of sulfonamides and barbiturates. The results were compared to literature methods by using retention volume (VR) and retention indexes (I). For the nine sulfonamides tested, log VR and log kappa' were used with and without correction for ionization. For each biological end point (protein binding and minimum inhibitor concentration against Eschericia coli from two sources) and each independent variable (log kappa' and log VR) the residual standard derivation for the regression was determined. the standard derivations were compared in an F test for each of 12 relevant regressions. Log kappa' was statistically superior in for cases, while log VR was superior in one case. Overall, the methods were statistically indistinguishable. Log kappa' values and I values for 15 barbiturates were regressed against three biological end points [hypnotic activity (the minimum effective dose in rabbits), inhibition of Arbacia egg cell division, and inhibition of rat brain respiration]. Standard deviations were compared by an F test, and the two methods were indistinguishable as far as the goodness of biological correlations are concerned. Procedures for controlling the column's activity are presented. Choices for an appropriate mobile phase are discussed, and a method of calculating pH and ionic strength in a methanol-aqueous mobile phase is presented.

The sorption and transport of a sulphonamide antibiotic in soil systems.

Veterinary medicines are administered to animals to treat disease and protect their health. After administration, the substances can be metabolised and a mixture of the parent compound and metabolites may be excreted in the urine and faeces. For animals on pasture, the excreta will be released directly to soil whereas for intensively reared animals, the main route of entry will be through slurry and manure spreading. Whilst the behaviour of other classes of substance (e.g. pesticides and nutrients) that are applied to soil is well understood, limited information is available on the transport and fate of veterinary medicines applied to soils. Laboratory and field studies were, therefore, performed to investigate the sorption behaviour of the sulfonamide antibiotic, sulfachloropyridazine, in soil and to assess the potential for sulfachloropyridazine to move from soil to surface waters and groundwaters. Sorption coefficients (K(D)) for the compound in soil and soil/slurry mixtures were low (ranging from 0.9 to 1.8 l kg(-1)) and indicated that the substance would be highly mobile. Field studies on a clay field supported these observations and demonstrated that, after application, the compound was rapidly transported to surface waters, concentrations of up to 590 microg l(-1) being observed in drainage waters. Leaching studies at a sandy site indicated that the substance had a low potential to leach to groundwaters, concentrations in the soil pore water being below or close to analytical detection limits. An assessment of currently available models for predicting concentrations of veterinary medicines entering surface waters indicated that for sulfachloropyridazine, the methods provide reasonable estimates, predicted concentrations being within a factor of two of the maximum measured concentrations. The approaches may not, however, be appropriate for use on highly hydrophobic substances or for predicting groundwater concentrations.

A self-threaded "molecular 8".

A new type of [1]rotaxanes containing two aliphatic bridges between axle and wheel is obtained in 39% yield in a one-step synthesis starting from a [2]rotaxane which contained one sulfonamide group each in both the wheel and the axle. Temperature controlled chemoselective substitution reactions first at these sulfonamide nitrogens and then subsequently at the various other carboxamide nitrogens in the wheel and axle give rise to the formation of an isomeric mixture of three double-bridged [1]rotaxanes which could be separated by HPLC. Structure determination of the main product 3a was possible by NMR experiments supported by molecular modeling calculations. Using different reaction conditions, a double-substituted but not yet bridged [2]rotaxane 4 could be isolated as an intermediate giving further evidence for the assigned structure of 3a and the way of its formation. The shape of this double-bridged [1]rotaxane 3a reminds of a self-intertwining chiral "molecular 8", in which any possible racemization due to deslipping is hindered by the two stoppers originating from the former rotaxane axle. Hence, to the best of our knowledge this is the first example of a molecule in which both concepts, cycloenantiomerism and helical chirality, are realised in one structure. Enantiomer separation of the main product was possible by further HPLC using chiral stationary phases. The Cotton effects of the circular dichrograms are different to those of the already synthesized [1]rotaxanes bearing just one aliphatic bridge between axle and wheel.

Efficient C-N bond formations catalyzed by a proton-exchanged montmorillonite as a heterogeneous Brønsted acid.

Nucleophilic addition of sulfonamides and carboxamides to simple alkenes proceeded smoothly using a proton-exchanged montmorillonite catalyst. The spent catalyst was recovered easily from the reaction mixture and was reusable at least five times without any loss of activity. The unique acidity of the proton-exchanged montmorillonite (H-mont) catalyst was found to be applicable to additional reactions: substitution of hydroxyl groups of alcohols with amides and anilines.

Purification and properties of galactosylceramide sulfatase activator from human liver.

Activator protein for galactosylceramide sulfatase (GSase) was purified from human liver. The activator has an approximate molecular weight of 22,000, is glycoprotein in nature, and is most probably a trimer consisting of an 8,000 dalton monomer. Monospecific rabbit antiserum raised against the activator strongly inhibited the activity of the activator. In the presence of a 10-fold or more excess of galactosylceramide sulfate (GS) on a molar basis, GS binding to the GSase activator occurred, and was saturated at an equimolar ratio. Binding studies on the GSase activator were conducted using affinity chromatography on derivatives of GS as ligands, and gel filtration of mixtures containing glycolipids and the activator. A "GS-acid" derivative, which was prepared by oxidative cleavage of sphingosine moiety in GS, and a sulfonamide derivative of GS as ligands still retained affinity for the GSase activator, while a hydrophobic ligands, an aminohexyl group did not bind completely the activator. A ligand of "galactosylceramide-acid" had weak affinity for GSase activator. These results suggest that the sulfate group and one of the two hydrocarbon chains in GS are not essential for the binding of the activator. The affinity of galactosylceramide for the GSase activator was confirmed by the detection of the lipid-protein complex on gel filtration. The activator weakly stimulated porcine GM1-beta-galactosidase activity.

[Dissolution profiles of powdered inclusion compounds of sulfonamide drugs with beta-cyclodextrin].

The interactions of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) with three sulfonamide drugs were studied. Observations were made on the effects of beta-CD on the solubility and the dissolution rate of these drugs in aqueous solution when comparing two different methods. The solubility of these three drugs was found to increase with the addition of beta-CD. This increase in solubility when using beta-CD was considered to be due to the formation of inclusion compounds. The dissolution rate of drugs increased with beta-CD, and was similar in tendency to the solubility data. These effects on both solubility and dissolution rates were similar regardless of which method was used. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the drug/beta-CD freeze-drying powder showed a clear difference from the physical mixture of intact drugs.
