Study on 99mTc-MAG3 and 99mTc-DMSA renal accumulation using in vitro cellular model

Čes. slov. farm. 2011, 60(1):7-10
Mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) labelled with technetium-99m belongs to standard renal radiodiagnostics. However, the renal transport mechanisms responsible for their high renal uptake have not been fully explained. In addition, no in vitro experimental study comparing the renal uptake of these radiopharmaceuticals at the cellular level has not been performed. The investigation compared the 99mTc-MAG3 and 99mTc-DMSA renal uptake using primary rat renal cells and evaluated contribution of active and passive transport processes to the renal accumulation. The renal cells were isolated from the rat...
Energy evaluation of the compaction process of directly compressible isomalt
Jitka Mužíková, Veronika Pavlasová
Čes. slov. farm. 2011, 60(1):11-16
The paper compares the compressibility of two directly compressible isomalts, galenIQ™ 720 and galenIQ™ 721, using the energy evaluation of the compaction process by means of the force--displacement profiles. It evaluates the energies for friction, energies accumulated by the tablet, energy of decompression, energy of compaction and plasticity in pure dry binders, in dry binders with lubricants (0.5 and 1% of magnesium stearate and sodium stearyl fumarate) and further in the tableting materials containing the model ingredients acetylsalicylic acid and ascorbic acid. The results of the study have revealed that lower values of the energy...

The study aimed to establish and validate an analytical method for the determination of nabumetone and 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid (6-MNA) in human plasma after a single therapeutic dose of the drug. Two methods based on HPLC with UV and MS detection were compared. Optimal results in sample preparation were achieved using solid phase extraction. The recovery reached approximately 84% and 86-90% for nabumetone and 6-MNA, respectively. A reverse C18 column was used for HPLC separation of the analytes. The limit of UV detection was 50 nM and 0.1 μM for 6-MNA and nabumetone, respectively. The limit of MS detection was 1 μM and 0.5 μM for 6-MNA...
Determination of airborne and surface contamination with cyclophosphamide at the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute, Brno, Czech Republic

Manipulation with cytotoxic drugs (CDs) during the preparation and administration of chemotherapy to cancer patients can potentially lead to contamination of working areas and consequently to occupational exposure of hospital staff. This study aimed to assess the potential of inhalation and dermal contact with CDs. For this purpose, distribution of the marker drug (cyclophosphamide, CP) in the working environment of the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute (Czech Republic) was studied. The study determined airborne and surface contamination of the hospital pharmacy and the outpatient clinic. Determination of airborne contamination was based on active...

On teaching the chemistry of pharmaceutical auxiliary substances within the framework of pharmaceutical education in the Czech and Slovak Republics
Jan Šubert
Čes. slov. farm. 2011, 60(1):4-6
The paper emphasizes the need of the introduction of the subject Chemistry of Pharmaceutical Auxiliaries into the Pharmacy study programme at more colleges in the Czech and Slovak Republics. It also introduces and discusses some topics for possible extension of the content of the courses of the subject (the presented examples are taken form the field of analytical chemistry of pharmaceutical auxiliaries).
