Voltammetric study of the partitioning of macrolide antibiotics at the water/nitrobenzene interface. Relationship to the pharmacokinetic profiling of macrolides

چکیده
The ion transfer of a series of ionised 14and 15-membered macrolide compounds across polarised water/nitrobenzene have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. Fourteen-membered macrolides transfer as singly-charged molecules in the wide pH range, while 15-membered macrolides can transfer as both singly and doubly protonated cations, depending on the pH of the aqueous solution. The results showed that the formal transfer potentials ( 0' o i ) of the investigated compounds varied to a great extent and that minor changes in macrolide structure caused significant change in the corresponding formal transfer potentials. Among the investigated macrolides, azithromycin had the lowest formal transfer potential and its peculiar ADME behaviour is ascribed to this specific property.

properties ofpolyene macrolides wehave established the structure-activity relationship among the derivatives of amphotericin B, the polyene antibiotic most commonly used in clinical practice11}. It has been shown in these studies that the improvement of selective toxicity is related to the absence of a free carboxyl group in the modified antibiotic molecule. Wehave also demonstrated that water ...

Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is a persistent infection of the prostate characterized by poor quality of life mainly due to frequent relapse episodes caused by incomplete eradication of causative pathogens. Aggressive antibacterial therapy is required to attenuate the severe symptoms of CBP and to achieve a permanent cure. Although fluoroquinolones are currently recommended as first-choic...

The transfer of F- ion assisted by an organometallic complex cation tetraphenylantimony (TPhSb+) across the polarized nitrobenzene / water (NB / W) interface has been studied by means of ion-transfer voltammetry. A well-defined voltammetric wave was observed within the potential window at the NB / W interface when tetraphenylantimony tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl) borate and F- ion were present in NB...
