The pharmacokinetics of S-(+)- and R-(-)-mexiletine and of the corresponding conjugates were investigated in six healthy young volunteers after administration of a single 200 mg oral dose of racemic mexiletine hydrochloride. The values for the distribution rate constants as well as for the elimination half-lives of the two enantiomers were similar but the AUC of the S-(+)-enantiomer was always significantly higher (P less than 0.01) than that of the opposite enantiomer. The mean R/S ratios for unchanged mexiletine in serum and in urine were 0.78 +/- 0.12 (s.d.) and 0.80 +/- 0.21, respectively. Urinary excretion of mexiletine conjugates consisted mainly of the R-(-)-enantiomer; the mean R/S enantiomeric ratio over 48 h was 9.65 +/- 3.10. Serum concentrations of the conjugates were measured in three subjects. The mean R/S AUC ratio was 2.94 +/- 0.48 and the renal clearance of the R-(-)-enantiomer was significantly higher (P less than 0.02) than that of the S-(+)-enantiomer.

Owing to its high natural abundance compared to the commonly used transition (precious) metals, as well as its high Lewis acidity and ability to change oxidation state, aluminium has recently been explored as the basis for a range of single-site catalysts. This paper aims to establish the ground rules for the development of a new type of cationic alkene oligomerisation catalyst containing two Al(III) ions, with the potential to act co-operatively in stereoselective assembly. Five new dimers of the type [RAl(2-py')] (R=Me, Bu; py'=substituted pyridyl group) with different substituents on the Al atoms and pyridyl rings have been synthesised.

Bupropion is used for treating depression, obesity, and seasonal affective disorder, and for smoking cessation. Bupropion is commonly prescribed, but has complex pharmacokinetics and interindividual variability in metabolism and bioactivation may influence therapeutic response, tolerability, and safety. Bupropion is extensively and stereoselectively metabolized, the metabolites are pharmacologically active, and allelic variation in cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6 affects clinical hydroxylation of single-dose bupropion.

Stereoselective total synthesis of several analogues of piscibactin (Pcb), the siderophore produced by different pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, was performed. The acid-sensitive αmethylthiazoline moiety was replaced by a more stable thiazole ring, differing in the configuration of the OH group at the C-13 position. The ability of these Pcb analogues to form complexes with Ga as a mimic of Fe showed that the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C-13 as 13 is crucial for the chelation of Ga to preserve the metal coordination, while the presence of a thiazole ring instead of the αmethylthiazoline moiety does not affect such coordination.

Warfarin is well recognized for its high-affinity and capacity-limited binding to the pharmacological target and undergoes target-mediated drug disposition. Here, we developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that incorporated saturable target binding and other reported hepatic disposition components of warfarin. The PBPK model parameters were optimized by fitting to the reported blood pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of warfarin with no stereoisomeric separation after oral dosing of racemic warfarin (0.

Background And Objectives: Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant and smoking cessation aid; its use is associated with wide intersubject variability in efficacy and safety. Knowledge of the brain pharmacokinetics of bupropion and its pharmacologically active metabolites is considered important for understanding the cause-effect relationships driving this variability.
Methods: Brain concentrations from rats administered a 10 mg/kg subcutaneous dose of racemic bupropion were analyzed using a stereoselective LC/MS-MS method.
