  • 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.

  • Parenteral Dilantin® (Phenytoin Sodium Injection, USP) WARNING
    1 Parenteral Dilantin (Phenytoin Sodium Injection, USP) WARNING: CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID INFUSION The rate of intravenous Dilantin administration should not exceed 50 mg per minute in adults and 1-3 mg/kg/min (or 50 mg per minute, whichever is slower) in pediatric patients because of the risk of severe hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias. Careful cardiac monitoring is needed during and after administering intravenous Dilantin. Although the risk of cardiovascular toxicity increases with infusion rates above the recommended infusion rate, these events have also been reported at or below the recommended infusion rate. Reduction in rate of administration or discontinuation of dosing may be needed (see WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). DESCRIPTION Dilantin (phenytoin sodium injection, USP) is a ready-mixed solution of phenytoin sodium in a vehicle containing 40% propylene glycol and 10% alcohol in water for injection, adjusted to pH 12 with sodium hydroxide. Phenytoin sodium is related to the barbiturates in chemical structure, but has a five-membered ring. The chemical name is sodium 5,5-diphenyl-2, 4- imidazolidinedione represented by the following structural formula: CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant which may be useful in the treatment of generalized tonic­ clonic status epilepticus. The primary site of action appears to be the motor cortex where spread of seizure activity is inhibited. Possibly by promoting sodium efflux from neurons, phenytoin tends to stabilize the threshold against hyperexcitability caused by excessive stimulation or environmental changes capable of reducing membrane sodium gradient. This includes the reduction of posttetanic potentiation at synapses. Loss of posttetanic potentiation prevents cortical seizure foci from detonating adjacent cortical areas.

  • DESCRIPTION Tolazamide Is an Oral Blood-Glucose-Lowering Drug of the Sulfonylurea Class
    TOLAZAMIDE- tolazamide tablet PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ---------- DESCRIPTION Tolazamide is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Tolazamide is a white or creamy-white powder very slightly soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. The chemical name is 1-(Hexahydro-1 H-azepin-1-yl)-3-( p-tolylsulfonyl)urea. Tolazamide has the following structural formula: Each tablet for oral administration contains 250 mg or 500 mg of tolazamide, USP and the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium lauryl sulfate. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Actions Tolazamide appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The mechanism by which tolazamide lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been clearly established. With chronic administration in type II diabetic patients, the blood glucose-lowering effect persists despite a gradual decline in the insulin secretory response to the drug. Extrapancreatic effects may be involved in the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs. Some patients who are initially responsive to oral hypoglycemic drugs, including tolazamide tablets, may become unresponsive or poorly responsive over time. Alternatively, tolazamide tablets may be effective in some patients who have become unresponsive to one or more other sulfonylurea drugs. In addition to its blood glucose-lowering actions, tolazamide produces a mild diuresis by enhancement of renal free water clearance. Pharmacokinetics Tolazamide is rapidly and well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Peak serum concentrations occur at 3 to 4 hours following a single oral dose of the drug.

  • Dilantin (Phenytoin Sodium) Extended Oral Capsule Three Times Daily and the Dosage Then Adjusted to Suit Individual Requirements
    Dilantin® (Phenytoin Sodium) 100 mg Extended Oral Capsule DESCRIPTION Phenytoin sodium is an antiepileptic drug. Phenytoin sodium is related to the barbiturates in chemical structure, but has a five-membered ring. The chemical name is sodium 5,5-diphenyl-2, 4-imidazolidinedione, having the following structural formula: Each Dilantin— 100 mg Extended Oral Capsule—contains 100 mg phenytoin sodium. Also contains lactose monohydrate, NF; confectioner’s sugar, NF; talc, USP; and magnesium stearate, NF. The capsule body contains titanium dioxide, USP and gelatin, NF. The capsule cap contains FD&C red No. 28; FD&C yellow No. 6; and gelatin NF. Product in vivo performance is characterized by a slow and extended rate of absorption with peak blood concentrations expected in 4 to 12 hours as contrasted to Prompt Phenytoin Sodium Capsules, USP with a rapid rate of absorption with peak blood concentration expected in 1½ to 3 hours. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug which can be used in the treatment of epilepsy. The primary site of action appears to be the motor cortex where spread of seizure activity is inhibited. Possibly by promoting sodium efflux from neurons, phenytoin tends to stabilize the threshold against hyperexcitability caused by excessive stimulation or environmental changes capable of reducing membrane sodium gradient. This includes the reduction of posttetanic potentiation at synapses. Loss of posttetanic potentiation prevents cortical seizure foci from detonating adjacent cortical areas. Phenytoin reduces the maximal activity of brain stem centers responsible for the tonic phase of tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures. The plasma half-life in man after oral administration of phenytoin averages 22 hours, with a range of 7 to 42 hours.

  • Urinary Antispasmodics TCO 02.2018
    Therapeutic Class Overview Urinary antispasmodics INTRODUCTION • Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as urinary urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia, in the absence of a causative infection or pathological conditions. Urinary incontinence has been shown to greatly reduce quality of life in areas such as mental and general health in addition to physical and social functioning (American Urological Association 2019, Coyne et al 2008, Haab 2014, International Continence Society 2015). Children with OAB usually have detrusor overactivity as diagnosed through cystometric evaluation. Neurogenic detrusor overactivity is predominantly caused by a congenital neural tube defect in children (Austin et al 2016, Franco ○ et al 2020). • Behavioral therapies (eg, bladder training, bladder control strategies, pelvic floor muscle training and fluid management) are considered first-line treatment in all patients with OAB (American Urological Association 2019). • Urinary antispasmodics are used as first-line pharmacological therapy in OAB (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 2015, American Urological Association 2019, Blok et al 2020, Burkhard et al 2018). Anticholinergic therapy has been frequently used in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, but there are limited data in this specific population (Haab 2014). • The○ urinary antispasmodics used for the treatment of OAB belong to 2 classes of drugs, which include anticholinergic compounds known as muscarinic receptor antagonists, and the beta-3 adrenergic agonist (AR), mirabegron. The anticholinergic agents act as antagonists of acetylcholine at muscarinic cholinergic receptors, thereby relaxing smooth muscle in the bladder and decreasing bladder contractions. ○ . Oral immediate-release (IR) and extended-release (ER) formulations (LA, XL, and XR) are available for oxybutynin (Ditropan), tolterodine (Detrol), and trospium.
