  • Metabolic-Hydroxy and Carboxy Functionalization of Alkyl Moieties in Drug Molecules: Prediction of Structure Influence and Pharmacologic Activity
    molecules Review Metabolic-Hydroxy and Carboxy Functionalization of Alkyl Moieties in Drug Molecules: Prediction of Structure Influence and Pharmacologic Activity Babiker M. El-Haj 1,* and Samrein B.M. Ahmed 2 1 Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, University of Science and Technology of Fujairah, Fufairah 00971, UAE 2 College of Medicine, Sharjah Institute for Medical Research, University of Sharjah, Sharjah 00971, UAE; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 February 2020; Accepted: 7 April 2020; Published: 22 April 2020 Abstract: Alkyl moieties—open chain or cyclic, linear, or branched—are common in drug molecules. The hydrophobicity of alkyl moieties in drug molecules is modified by metabolic hydroxy functionalization via free-radical intermediates to give primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols depending on the class of the substrate carbon. The hydroxymethyl groups resulting from the functionalization of methyl groups are mostly oxidized further to carboxyl groups to give carboxy metabolites. As observed from the surveyed cases in this review, hydroxy functionalization leads to loss, attenuation, or retention of pharmacologic activity with respect to the parent drug. On the other hand, carboxy functionalization leads to a loss of activity with the exception of only a few cases in which activity is retained. The exceptions are those groups in which the carboxy functionalization occurs at a position distant from a well-defined primary pharmacophore. Some hydroxy metabolites, which are equiactive with their parent drugs, have been developed into ester prodrugs while carboxy metabolites, which are equiactive to their parent drugs, have been developed into drugs as per se.

  • 3-Local-Anesthetics.Pdf
    Overview • Local anesthetics produce a transient and reversible loss of sensation (analgesia) in a circumscribed region of the body without loss of consciousness. • Normally, the process is completely reversible. • Local anesthetics are generally classified as either esters or amides and are usually linked to: – a lipophilic aromatic group – to a hydrophilic, ionizable tertiary (sometimes secondary) amine. • Most are weak bases with pKa ( 8 – 9), and at physiologic pH they are primarily in the charged, cationic form. • The potency of local anesthetics is positively correlated with their lipid solubility, which may vary 16-fold, and negatively correlated with their molecular size. • These anesthetics are selected for use on the basis of: 1. the duration of drug action • Short: 20 min • Intermediate: 1—1.5 hrs • Long: 2—4 hrs 2. effectiveness at the administration site 3. potential for toxicity Mechanism of action Local anesthetics act by blocking sodium channels and the conduction of action potentials along sensory nerves. • Blockade is voltage dependent and time dependent. a. At rest, the voltage-dependent sodium (Na+) channels of sensory nerves are in the resting (closed) state. • Following the action potential the Na+ channel becomes active (open) and then converts to an inactive (closed) state that is insensitive to depolarization. • Following repolarization of the plasma membrane there is a slow reversion of channels from the inactive to the resting state, which can again be activated by depolarization. • During excitation the cationic charged form of local anesthetics interacts preferentially with the inactivated state of the Na+ channels on the inner aspect of the sodium channel to block sodium current and increase the threshold for excitation.

  • Antifungals, Topical
    Therapeutic Class Overview Antifungals, Topical INTRODUCTION The topical antifungals are available in multiple dosage forms and are indicated for a number of fungal infections and related conditions. In general, these agents are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis, onychomycosis, seborrheic dermatitis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and tinea versicolor (Clinical Pharmacology 2018). The antifungals may be further classified into the following categories based upon their chemical structures: allylamines (naftifine, terbinafine [only available over the counter (OTC)]), azoles (clotrimazole, econazole, efinaconazole, ketoconazole, luliconazole, miconazole, oxiconazole, sertaconazole, sulconazole), benzylamines (butenafine), hydroxypyridones (ciclopirox), oxaborole (tavaborole), polyenes (nystatin), thiocarbamates (tolnaftate [no FDA-approved formulations]), and miscellaneous (undecylenic acid [no FDA-approved formulations]) (Micromedex 2018). The topical antifungals are available as single entity and/or combination products. Two combination products, nystatin/triamcinolone and Lotrisone (clotrimazole/betamethasone), contain an antifungal and a corticosteroid preparation. The corticosteroid helps to decrease inflammation and indirectly hasten healing time. The other combination product, Vusion (miconazole/zinc oxide/white petrolatum), contains an antifungal and zinc oxide. Zinc oxide acts as a skin protectant and mild astringent with weak antiseptic properties and helps to
