The 1,4-bis(2'-chloroethyl)-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane dication (II) exhibits remarkable antineoplastic activity. Detailed evaluation of several dianion derivatives showed a curative response level against the murine P-388 lymphocytic leukemia, colon 26, CD8F1 mammary, and the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma (rat) tumor systems. In addition, significant cancer chemotherapeutic activity was found against the murine L-1210 lymphoid leukemia, colon 38, and B16 melanocarcinoma tumor systems. The bicyclo dication (II) first was isolated, evaluated, and stored as the diperchlorate derivative (IIa). Because of the promising anticancer activity of IIa, procedures were developed for obtaining other anion derivatives for comparative biological purposes. Several naturally occurring substances were evaluated, and the dihydrogen dimaleate derivative (IIi) obtained by an ion-exchange technique was the most suitable.

Objective: Folklore claims of the therapeutic effect of garden slug (Diplosolenodes occidentalis) extract used to relieve bronchoconstriction in asthmatic individuals were never validated scientifically. The aim of this study was to isolate the pure bioactive compound from slug extract causing this effect.
Methods: The crude ground material was prepared in ethanol and after filtration, separation by flash column chromatography method was done.

The asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt [systematic name: 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,8-diium bis(3-carboxy-prop-2-enoate)], C10H26N4 (2+)·2C4H3O4 (-), contains two half-cations (both completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry) and two maleate anions. The cyclam macrocycles adopt trans-III conformations, supported by two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The O-bonded H atom of each maleate ion is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.

A facile and green approach is reported to construct pixantrone/poly(γ-glutamic acid) nanoparticles (PIX/γ-PGA NPs) as an oral drug delivery system through the complex self-assembly of polyelectrolyte γ-PGA and the anticancer drug pixantrone dimaleate (PDM). The complex self-assembly behavior is investigated in detail. The results demonstrate that PDM can interact with γ-PGA to conveniently form NPs and the size of NPs can be controlled by adjusting the solution volume ratio of PDM to γ-PGA.

The computer-assisted development of a CE method for compliance monitoring of a group of 17 antipsychotic drugs (chlorpromazine hydrochloride, clozapine, droperidol, flupenthixol dihydrochloride, fluphenazine dihydrochloride, haloperidol, pimozide, thioridazine hydrochloride, trifluoperazine dihydrochloride, prochlorperazine dimaleate, amisulpride, aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine fumarate, risperidone, ziprasidone, and zuclopenthixol dihydrochloride) was performed. Peakmaster, a free simulation program for CE, was employed in a multivariate optimisation approach to determine suitable BGE conditions with minimal experimentation. However, analyte input parameters (pK(a) and limiting ionic mobility) were not included within the software and required determination.

A cancer candidate, compound 1, is a weak base with two heterocyclic basic nitrogens and five hydrogen-bonding functional groups, and is sparingly soluble in water rendering it unsuitable for pharmaceutical development. The crystalline acid-base pairs of 1, collectively termed solid acid-base complexes, provide significant increases in the solubility and bioavailability compared to the free base, 1. Three dicarboxylic acid-base complexes, sesquisuccinate 2, dimalonate 3, and dimaleate 4, show the most favorable physicochemical profiles and are studied in greater detail.
