The purpose of our research is to develop functional additives that enhance mucosal absorption of biologics, such as peptide/protein and antibody drugs, to provide their non-to-poor invasive dosage forms self-managed by patients. Our previous in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that the intranasal absorption of biologics in mice was significantly improved when coadministered with oligoarginines anchored chemically to hyaluronic acid via a glycine spacer, presumably through syndecan-4-mediated macropinocytosis under activation by oligoarginines. The present mouse experiments first revealed that diglycine-L-tetraarginine-linked hyaluronic acid significantly enhanced the intranasal absorption of sulpiride, which is a poor-absorptive organic compound with a low molecular weight.

The reaction of ene-imine with Cp(2)ZrBu(2) was carried out. When a crude imine, which was prepared from ene-aldehyde and primary amine in the presence of MgSO(4), was treated with Cp(2)ZrBu(2) at room temperature overnight, cyclopentane derivative having trans-substituents was obtained in high yield along with a small amount of cyclopentane derivative having cis-substituents. Presumably, cis-zirconacycle is a thermodynamic product.
