Diurnal variation in the metabolism of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine in humans.

چکیده
The routes of metabolism of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine in humans are dependent on the time of dosing. Administration of 750 mg of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine (Day 1) during the day at 8:00 AM followed by a 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM urine collection revealed that S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine S-oxide was the major urinary metabolite produced. The 4:00 PM to midnight urine collection resulted in S-(carboxymethylthio)-L-cysteine being identified as the major urinary metabolite. However, the administration of 750 mg of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine (day 15) during the night at midnight and analysis of the midnight to 8:00 AM urine collection found that thiodiglycolic acid was the major urinary metabolite, whereas thiodiglycolic S-oxide was identified as the major urinary metabolite in the 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM urine collection. A diurnal variation in the metabolism of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine was seen and, in particular, the timing of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine administration had a profound effect on the identity of urinary S-oxide metabolites produced. After administration at 8:00 AM the urinary S-oxides produced were S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine S-oxide and S-methyl-L-cysteine S-oxide but at midnight the major urinary S-oxide metabolite produced was thiodiglycolic acid S-oxide.

A direct structural identification, and quantitative assessment below the 50 nmol/ml level, of the full pattern of renally excreted metabolites is made possible by 13C NMR measurements of untreated urine samples when stable isotope-labelled (13C) drug analogues are administered to humans. The full potential of the new ex vivo NMR approach is exemplified by a study, for a group of volunteers, of...
متن کاملDiurnal variation in the nitrate content of parsley foliage
The diurnal fluctuation of nitrate concentration in the foliage of three parsley subspecies (plain-leafed, curly-leafed and turnip rooted parsley) cultivated in the spring and autumn of two consecutive years was examined. Nitrogen was applied at 30 (Control), 75, 150, 300 mg kg-1 in both years, but with the addition of 450 mg kg-1 in year 2. Harvest was carried out at 08:30, 12:30 and 17:30 on ...

Surface ozone (Surface O3)is a secondary pollutant and there are only limited studies on ozone in South India. Studies have revealed a strong correlation between higher ozone levels and warmer days. Surface O3 along with its precursors like NO2, CO and CH4 are being measured at Kanyakumari (8.0780° N, 77.5410° E), TamilNadu, India and in this paper we present the summer time variation of ozone ...
متن کاملEffect of side-chain substitution of a CH2 group by sulfur on the antimicrobial activity of natural penicillins and cephalosporins.
The S-carboxymethyl-D-cysteine side-chain analogs of cephalosporin C and deacetoxycephalosporin C were found to have markedly increased in vitro activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria compared to the natural antibiotics. The S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine analogs were less active than the S-carboxymethyl-D-cysteine analogs but against most organisms tested, still more active than...
