Four polar metabolites were isolated from the urine of human subjects orally treated with tripelennamine, and their structures elucidated by various chemical and physical methods. One of the metabolites, which is a minor one, was identified as an N-oxide of tripelennamine, and the other three as glucuronide conjugates. One of the conjugates, which is a major metabolite, has been assigned a unique quaternary ammonium N-glucuronide structure, since it gave tripelennamine and D-glucuronic acid on incubation with beta-glucuronidase. The N-oxide, which has also been prepared synthetically, remained unchanged on similar treatment. The other two conjugates were O-glucuronides of hydroxylated derivatives, the glucuronide of hydroxytripelennamine being the principal metabolite. No desmethyltripelennamine was found in the urine, however. Hydroxylation in both cases had occurred in the pyridine ring.

Imidazole-induced contractions in bovine tracheal smooth muscle are not dependent on the cAMP pathway.

The mechanism of imidazole-induced contraction on the bovine tracheal smooth muscle was investigated. Imidazole induced muscle contraction in a concentration-dependent manner on bovine, porcine and guinea-pig tracheas, but not in rat or mouse. In bovine tracheas, imidazole was cumulatively applied and induced muscle tension and increasesd intracellular Ca level in a concentration -dependent manner.

Meiosis is a highly regulated developmental process that occurs in all eukaryotes that engage in sexual reproduction. Previous epidemiological work shows that male and female infertility is rising and environmental factors, including pollutants such as organic solvents, are thought to play a role in this phenomenon. To better understand how organic compounds interfere with meiotic development, the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae was exposed to 446 bioactive molecules while undergoing meiotic development, and sporulation efficiency was quantified employing two different high-throughput assays.

UV resonance Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize the binding of three first-generation histamine H(1) receptor antagonists-tripelennamine (TRP), mepyramine (MEP), and brompheniramine (BPA)-to human serum albumin (HSA) at pH 7.2 and pH 9.0.

The detection of drug abuse in horseracing often requires knowledge of drug metabolism, especially if urine is the matrix of choice. In this study, equine liver/lung microsomes/S9 tissue fractions were used to study the phase I metabolism of eight drugs of relevance to equine drug surveillance (acepromazine, azaperone, celecoxib, fentanyl, fluphenazine, mepivacaine, methylphenidate and tripelennamine). In vitro samples were analyzed qualitatively alongside samples originating from in vivo administrations using LC-MS on a high resolution accurate mass Thermo Orbitrap Discovery instrument and by LC-MS/MS on an Applied Biosystems Sciex 5500 Q Trap.

Electronic absorption, emission, and excitation spectra, and fluorescence lifetimes of two H1 antihistamines--tripelennamine and mepyramine--are investigated in detail to ascertain their usefulness as fluorescent probes for ligand binding to G-protein coupled receptors. The photophysical behavior of these compounds in aqueous solution is complex due to the presence of three protonable nitrogens, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, quenching due to the formation of a charge transfer state, and intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer. At physiological pH values, anomalous photophysical behavior is observed: the compounds are found to be in a ground-state equilibrium mixture of two species, one with the alkylamine tail involved in an intramolecular hydrogen bond and a second without such a bond.
