Values for the urinary excretion of pyridinium crosslinks of collagen, pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline, in a group of 30 elderly women with femoral fractures associated with osteoporosis and a group of 20 women without recent fracture but with overt or suspected osteoporosis were compared with 27 control subjects matched for age. Relative to the control group, the excretion of the crosslinks was significantly higher in the group with fractures and the group with osteoporosis. Fractures contributed markedly to the excretion of pyridinium crosslinks as the patients with fractures showed significantly higher excretion of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline than the group without recent fractures. This was confirmed by the fact that excretion of pyridinium crosslinks in patients with accidental bone fractures was significantly higher than for healthy control subjects matched for age and sex. The crosslinks appear to provide valid indices of bone resorption, but the effects of bone fracture must be considered in the clinical application of this technique.

The salts bis(2-amino-3-methylpyridinium) fumarate dihydrate, 2CHN·CHO·2HO (I), and 2-amino-3-methylpyridinium 5-chlorosalicylate, CHN·CHClO (II), were synthesized from 2-amino-3-methylpyridine with fumaric acid and 5-chlorosalicylic acid, respectively. The crystal structures of these salts were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing protonation in I and II by the transfer of a H atom from the acid to the pyridine base. In the crystals of both I and II, N-H.

Accumulation of uremic toxins may lead to the life-threatening condition "uremic syndrome" in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring renal replacement therapy. Clinical evaluation of proximal tubular secretion of organic cations (OC), of which some are uremic toxins, is desired, but difficult. The biomedical knowledge on OC secretion and cellular transport partly relies on studies using the fluorescent tracer 4-dimethylaminostyryl)--methylpyridinium (ASP+), which has been used in many studies of renal excretion mechanisms of organic ions and which could be a candidate as a PET tracer.

Oxime cholinesterase reactivators (oximes) are used to counteract organophosphate intoxication. Charged oximes are administered via intramuscular or intravenous injection when the majority of dose is unmetabolized and is excreted as urine. In this study, the effects of selected double charged oximes were determined in the HK-2 cell line as a model for renal toxicity screening.

Oxime reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) represent an integral part of standard antidote treatment of organophosphate poisoning. Oxime K869 is a novel bisquaternary non-symmetric pyridinium aldoxime with two pyridinium rings connected by a tetramethylene bridge where two chlorines modify the pyridinium ring bearing the oxime moiety. Based on in vitro assays, K869 is a potent AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) reactivator.

Scope: The present study assesses the absorption, pharmacokinetics, and urinary excretion of coffee pyridines and their metabolites after daily regular exposure to specific dosages of coffee or cocoa-based products containing coffee (CBPCC), considering different patterns of consumption.
Methods And Results: In a three-arm, crossover, randomized trial, 21 volunteers are requested to randomly consume for 1 month: one cup of espresso coffee per day, three cups of espresso coffee per day, or one cup of espresso coffee plus two CBPCC twice per day. The last day of the one-month treatment, blood and urine samples are collected for 24 h.
