Deducing the Bioactive Face of Hydantoin Anticonvulsant Drugs Using NMR Spectroscopy

Deducing the bioactive face of hydantoin anticonvulsant drugs using NMR spectroscopy.

BACKGROUND The general purpose of this study was to deduce the geometry of the bioactive face (pharmacophore) for the hydantoin class of anticonvulsants. METHODS Six hydantoin analogs, selected as probes of hydantoin structure, were synthesized. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular modelling calculations were used to determine the geometric relationship between the aromatic g...

Substitution of anticonvulsant drugs

Changing from branded drugs to generic alternatives, or between different generic formulations, is common practice aiming at reducing health care costs. It has been suggested that antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) should be exempt from substitution because of the potential negative consequences of adverse events and breakthrough seizures. Controlled data are lacking on the risk of substitution. Howeve...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
