  • METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS in DRUG-BINDING STUDIES Hermann Kurz
    6 METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN DRUG-BINDING STUDIES Hermann Kurz HISTORICAL REMARKS When the clinician Bennhold, who can be called the "father of protein binding," performed his first experiments in protein binding about 60 years ago, he used a rather curious method. He put a warm liquid gelatin solution in test tubes. After the gelatin solidified, he added a small amount of a dye-stuff, dissolved either in water or in plasma, to the top of the gelatin layer. Several hours later, he ob- served how far the dye-stuff had penetrated the gelatin and used this as a criterion to estimate how much of the dye-stuff was bound to the plasma. Figure 6-1 is an original illustration from a publication of Bennhold (Bennhold, Kylin, and St. Rusznyak 1938). The test tube on the left contains the yellow dye-stuff dissolved in water at the top of the gelatin layer. In the center, the same dye-stuff was dissolved in the plasma of a patient with renal failure. The upper horizontal lines indicate the border between gelatin and dye-stuff solution. The lines marked with roman numerals indicate the zones of diffusion of the dye- stuff after 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. It can be seen that in the central tube, on account of binding to the plasma proteins, the dye-stuff did not proceed as fast as from the aqueous solution or from the uremic plasma- Compared to the methods we use now, this was certainly a rather primitive way to determine protein binding. But if one reads the 1938 book, in which Bennhold reviewed his findings, it is sur- prising to see the basic facts about binding he reported.

  • Selective Reaction Monitoring (SRM) Daten Von Mehr Als 900 Xenobiotika Für Aufbau Und Validierung Von LC-MS/MS Analysen
    T + K (2008) 75 (3): 149 Selective Reaction Monitoring (SRM) Daten von mehr als 900 Xenobiotika für Aufbau und Validierung von LC-MS/MS Analysen Brunhilde Güssregen, Stefanie Schröfel, Markus Nauck, Torsten Arndt Bioscientia Institut für Medizinische Diagnostik GmbH, Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 17, 55218 Ingelheim; e-mail: [email protected] Die Flüssigkeitschromatographie-Tandem-Massenspektrometrie (LC-MS/MS) hat in den letz- ten Jahren eine zunehmende Bedeutung nicht nur in der klinisch-chemischen sondern auch in der toxikologischen Analytik gewonnen. Sie kann heute neben den klassischen Verfahren wie UV/VIS-Spektrometrie, Hochleistungs-Flüssigkeitschromatographie (HPLC) und Gaschro- matographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC-MS) als integraler Bestandteil der qualitativen und quantitativen Analytik gewertet werden. Dies drückt sich nicht zuletzt in der steigenden Zahl der Meldungen von mit LC-MS/MS erhobenen GTFCh- Ringversuchsergebnissen aus. Die Ursachen für diese Popularität sind vielfältig. Es sind u. a. einige analytische Vorteile im Vergleich zu den o. g. Analysentechniken: Vereinfachte Probenvorbereitung (z. B. ohne Derivatisierungsreaktionen), Einsatz geringerer Probenmengen, Kürzere Chromatographie- und dadurch Analysezeiten, Spezifitätssteigerung durch die Kombination von minimal 4 Identifizierungskriterien (Retentionszeit, Massenübergänge 1 und 2 [SRM 1 und SRM 2], Intensitätsverhältnis von SRM1 und SRM2), deren Anzahl bei Verwendung von mehr als 2 SRM erhöht werden kann, Eignung für alle löslichen Substanzen unabhängig von ihrer Fähigkeit, zerstörungs- frei in die Gasphase überführt werden zu können. Derzeitige Nachteile der LC-MS/MS im Methodenvergleich sind: Fehlende Standardisierung sowohl der Chromatographie- als auch der Tandem-Mas- senspektrometrie-Analysenteilschritte, Variabilität der Massenspektren infolge der vglw. milden Fragmentierungsbedingun- gen, Fehlen von allgemein verfügbaren LC-MS/MS-Spektren- und/oder Massenübergangs (SRM)-Bibliotheken mit einer der Pfleger-Maurer-Weber Bibliothek [1] oder der Pragst et al.

  • Glucose Tolerance and Pancreatic Islet Blood Flow in Rats After
    Upsala J Med Sci 97: 27-35 Glucose Tolerance and Pancreatic Islet Blood Flow in Rats after Intraperitoneal Administration of Different Anesthetic Drugs Marita Hindlycke and Leif Jansson Department of Medical Cell Biology, Upprala University, Uppsala,Sweden ABSTRACT A comparision of the effects of different anesthetics on the pancreatic islet blood flow as measured with a microsphere technique and the blood sugar homeostasis in rats was made in rats anesthetized with an IP injection of either thiobutabarbital sodium (TB), pentobarbital sodium (PB), chloral hydrate (CH), chloral hydrate + pentobarbital (CP) or ketarnine + xylazine (KX). The mean arterial blood pressure was similar (approximately 100 mm Hg) in all animals except those given KX in which a 20-30% increase was observed. The serum insulin concentrations were increased in rats given CH and CP, but not in the other groups, when compared with TB rats. An intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (2 g glucose/kg BW 15 min after induction of anesthesia) showed a marked glucose intolerance in the KZ rats, in which the glucose concentrations were elevated for 5 h. Also animals anesthetized with CP and CH were glucose intolerant when compared with TB animals. The whole pancreatic blood flow was similar in TB, PB and CP rats, but was almost doubled in CH-rats and markedly decreased in KX rats. Islet blood flow was also increased by CH and decreased by KX when compared with TB rats, whilst PB and CP did not affect the islet blood flow. It is concluded that TB and PB are suitable anesthetics for the study of pancreatic islet blood flow.

  • Policy on the Use of Controlled Substances in Research
    VA MEDICAL CENTER, PORTLAND, OREGON Pharmacy Service Policy RPU-001 Effective: 11/7/2011 Policy on the Use of Controlled Substances in Research 1. Introduction Due to potential for abuse of some drugs, scientists using items identified by the US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Administration (VHA) as controlled substances must adhere to extensive licensing, registration, storage, security, use, and disposal regulations. 2. "Controlled Substance" Defined Materials containing any quantity of a substance with a stimulant, depressant, or hallucinogenic effect on the higher functions of the central nervous system, and having the tendency to promote abuse or physiological or psychological dependence, as designated in federal controlled substance schedules and policies. 3. Applicability Principal Investigators (PIs) using controlled substances in their laboratory research (including research animals) are subject to federal regulatory requirements, as outlined in this Policy. Please note that these requirements (including licensing/registration with regulatory agencies) are separate from and in addition to any that apply to medical practitioners (i.e., MDs and MD/PhDs conducting laboratory research must also obtain licensure/registration for laboratory use of controlled substances). 4. Schedules Controlled substances are divided into five categories, known as Schedules. Schedule I drugs are the most highly regulated. They have a high potential for abuse, have no accepted medical use in the US and/or have a lack of accepted safety for human use. These include many widely known street drugs, including heroin and hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD and marijuana. Schedule II drugs also have a high potential for abuse but have an accepted medical use in the US and have an accepted safety profile.

    Comparison of six different anesthesia protocols for phMRI Jaakko Paasonen1, Joanna K. Huttunen1, and Olli Gröhn1 1Department of Neurobiology, A. I. Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland Introduction Pharmacological MRI (phMRI) is a modern imaging method providing indirect information of the actions of pharmaceuticals in tissue exploiting functional MRI (fMRI). The influence of anesthesia on brain activation and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal changes is one of the most critical factors in the experimental design. The aim of this study was to investigate the BOLD signal changes by using different anesthesia protocols with a nicotine challenge in order to find optimal experimental conditions for a phMRI study. Materials and methods All animal procedures were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the Provincial Government of Southern Finland. Altogether 39 adult male Wistar rats (357 ± 38 g) were used to study nicotine induced BOLD changes in six groups with four different anesthetics (medetomidine 0.1 mg/kg/h i.v., thiobutabarbital 140 mg/kg i.p., urethane 1.25 g/kg i.p., and isoflurane 1.3 %). All rats were first anesthetized with isoflurane (5 % for induction and 2 % for maintenance during surgery) in N2/O2 70/30 mixture for femoral arterial and venous cannulation. Tracheotomy was performed and pancuronium bromide (0.5 mg/kg/h i.v.) administered if ventilation (VNT) was used. After surgery anesthesia was switched to either medetomidine with VNT (n = 6), thiobutabarbital (n = 5), thiobutabarbital with VNT (n = 10), urethane (n = 6), urethane with VNT (n = 6), or isoflurane was continued with VNT (n = 6).
