Abstract
Cisplatin is used in a wide variety of malignancies, but cisplatin-induced ototoxicity remains a major issue in clinical practice. Experimental evidence indicates that ferroptosis plays a key role in mediating the unwanted cytotoxicity effect caused by cisplatin. However, the role of ferroptosis in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity requires elucidation. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was identified as a potent inhibitor of ferroptosis and radical-trapping antioxidant with its ability to reduce the accumulation of lipid peroxides and chain-carrying peroxyl radicals. In the current study, we investigated the effects of Fer-1 in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models. We found, for the first time that Fer-1 efficiently alleviated cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in HEI-OC1 cells via a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, Fer-1 mitigated cisplatin cytotoxicity in transgenic zebrafish sensory hair cells. In HEI-OC1 cells, Fer-1 pretreatment not only drastically reduced the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species but also remarkably decreased lipid peroxidation levels induced by cisplatin. This was not only ascribed to the inhibition of 4-hydroxynonenal, the final product of lipid peroxides, but also to the promotion of glutathione peroxidase 4, the protein marker of ferroptosis. MitoTracker staining and transmission electron microscopy of mitochondrial morphology suggested that in HEI-OC1 cells, Fer-1 can effectively abrogate mitochondrial damage resulting from the interaction with cisplatin. In addition, Fer-1 pretreatment of cochlear explants substantially protected hair cells from cisplatin-induced damage. Therefore, our results demonstrated that ferroptosis might be involved in cisplatin ototoxicity. Fer-1 administration mitigated cisplatin-induced hair cell damage, further investigations are required to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of its otoprotective effect.

Abstract
Methoxetamine (MXE) is a novel drug of abuse that is structurally similar to phencyclidine (PCP). In the present study, rats were trained to discriminate PCP from saline and substitution tests were performed with arylcyclohexylamines PCP, eticyclidine (PCE), tenocyclidine (TCP), and MXE. PCP and PCE engendered PCP-lever selection in all subjects, whereas MXE and TCP produced PCP-lever selection in animals that did not display behavioral disruption. Last, the substituted tryptamine dipropyltryptamine (DPT) produced moderate PCP-lever selection and elicited behavioral disruption in all subjects at the highest dose tested. Immediately following the final substitution test in the drug discrimination experiment, the same rats and a separate group of experimentally-naïve rats were implanted with osmotic mini-pumps delivering continuous PCP infusions for 11 days. Consistent with PCP withdrawal, disruption of food-maintained operant responding was observed when the pumps were removed, but cumulative MXE administration dose-dependently reversed this effect. A third group of rats self-administered several unit doses of PCP and MXE. Results of the self-administration tests revealed that MXE was a less effective reinforcer than PCP. Lastly, mice were implanted with radiotelemetry probes to simultaneously monitor thermoregulatory and locomotor responses following injections of PCP, PCE, or MXE. All three arylcyclohexylamines elicited dose-dependent hypothermic effects, but only PCP produced increases in locomotor activity. Together, these findings indicate that MXE elicits PCP-like interoceptive effects, but reduced reinforcing and locomotor stimulant effects in vivo. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'Designer Drugs and Legal Highs.'

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the broad spectrum of antirheumatic drugs, RA is still not well controlled in up to 30-50 % of patients. Inhibition of JAK kinases by means of the pan-JAK inhibitor tofacitinib has demonstrated to be effective even in difficult-to-treat patients. Here, we discuss whether the efficacy of JAK inhibition can be improved by simultaneously inhibiting SYK kinase, since both kinases mediate complementary and non-redundant pathways in RA. METHODS Efficacy of dual JAK + SYK inhibition with selective small molecule inhibitors was evaluated in chronic G6PI-induced arthritis, a non-self-remitting and destructive arthritis model in mice. Clinical and histopathological scores, as well as cytokine and anti-G6PI antibody production were assessed in both preventive and curative protocols. Potential immunotoxicity was also evaluated in G6PI-induced arthritis and in a 28-day TDAR model, by analysing the effects of JAK + SYK inhibition on hematological parameters, lymphoid organs, leukocyte subsets and cell function. RESULTS Simultaneous JAK + SYK inhibition completely prevented mice from developing arthritis. This therapeutic strategy was also very effective in ameliorating already established arthritis. Dual kinase inhibition immediately resulted in greatly decreased clinical and histopathological scores and led to disease remission in over 70 % of the animals. In contrast, single JAK inhibition and anti-TNF therapy (etanercept) were able to stop disease progression but not to revert it. Dual kinase inhibition decreased Treg and NK cell counts to the same extent as single JAK inhibition but overall cytotoxicity remained intact. Interestingly, treatment discontinuation rapidly reversed such immune cell reduction without compromising clinical efficacy, suggesting long-lasting curative effects. Dual kinase inhibition reduced the Th1/Th17 cytokine cascade and the differentiation and function of joint cells, in particular osteoclasts and fibroblast-like synoviocytes. CONCLUSIONS Concurrent JAK + SYK inhibition resulted in higher efficacy than single kinase inhibition and TNF blockade in a chronic and severe arthritis model. Thus, blockade of multiple immune signals with dual JAK + SYK inhibition represents a reasonable therapeutic strategy for RA, in particular in patients with inadequate responses to current treatments. Our data supports the multiplicity of events underlying this heterogeneous and complex disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The international drug market has dramatically changed with the emergence of various new psychoactive substances that are mostly being sold on the internet. One of those new psychoactive substances is methoxetamine (MXE), a structural analogue of ketamine. CASE DESCRIPTION A 30-year-old man with no history of illness was presented to the accident and emergency department. He had lost his balance and could not move. He was in a dissociative psychosis, felt he had no control over his body and was extremely frightened. Most of this symptoms disappeared within two hours of arrival. The next day there were no indications of a psychosis, and only headache and nausea remained. The state of dissociative psychosis was caused by MXE, which was sold to him as an ecstasy tablet. CONCLUSION Whether mixed with alcohol and other drugs or not, MXE can cause serious feelings of dissociation resulting in extreme anxiety and psychosis. This might cause severely lowered consciousness in these patients. Currently, use of MXE in the Netherlands is limited, but ketamine or MXE intoxication should be considered in patients with these symptoms.

Abstract
The effects of non-competitive glutamate receptor antagonists on sleep-waking organization have been studied on Krushinskii-Molodkina rats having an inherited predisposition to audiogenic seizures and Wistar ones which are resistant to this action of sound. Two types of blockers of glutamate receptor open channels were used: selective blockers of NMDA receptors (memantine and IEM-1921) and blockers of mixed type, impacting both on the NMDA and Ca-permeable AMPA/ kainate receptors (IEM-1754 and IEM 1925). During the first 3 hours after administration of these glutamate antagonists the total or partial deprivation of fast-wave sleep was provoked. Additionally the selective NMDA receptor blocking drugs (memantine, IEM-1921) induced in the same period a significant increase of the representation of wakefulness at the cost of reducing of the total time of slow-wave sleep. These effects are most likely to be a consequence of the blockade of NMDA receptors responsible for the launch and maintenance of wakefulness, slow- and fast-wave sleep. In the same first 3 hours period after the administration of IEM-1754 and IEM-1925 the organization of sleep was not significantly affected. The evident reduction of wakefulness, total duration and increase of slow-wave sleep impact was observed, during the second three-hour period. It, apparently, can be caused by the blockade of AMPA/kainate receptors. The obtained results indicate the involvement of NMDA and AMPA/kainate receptors in the functioning of various parts of the sleep system of rats belonging to both lines.

Abstract
The action of noncompetitive blockers of glutamate receptors has been investigated on Krushinski-Molodkina rats genetically-prone to audiogenic seizures. The selective blockers of NMDA receptor channels, memantine and IEM-1921, and their dicationic homologues, IEM-1925 and IEM-1754, capable of blocking in varying degrees both NMDA and Ca-permeable AMPA receptor channels, were studied. The drugs were injected intramuscularly to rats with the different time intervals (30 min, 1, 2 or 3 hours) before sound signal. The effects of the drugs on latent period of initial locomotor activity provoked by audio stimulation (8 kHz sine-wave tone, 90 dB volume), the appearance of clonic convulsions of different intensities, and, finally, tonic convulsions with limb and tail extension were evaluated. Within 30 min after injection IEM-1921 at a dose of 5 mg/kg, 33% of rats manifested a complete absence of convulsive reactions to sound, and in 59% of rats audiogenic seizures occured only in the form of motor excitation without a generalized clonic-tonic convulsions. Memantine at a dose of 5 mg/kg did not cause a complete blockade of seizures, but after 1 h of injection in 50% of the rats and after 2 h in 70% of rats a weakening of the audiogenic seizures to the level of motor excitation only was observed. After 3 hrs after administration of blockers its anticonvulsive action weakened significantly (p < 0.01). Dicationic blockers that block both NMDA and AMPA/kainate receptors, IEM-1925 (in doses of 0.001-20.0 mg/kg) and IEM-1754 (0.025-50.0 mg/kg), did not affect audiogenic clonic-tonic convulsive reactions. The involvement of activation of NMDA and calcium permeable AMPA/kainate receptors in the pathogenesis of audiogenic seizures is discussed.

Abstract
Three alkyl diamines, which are by-products formed and separated during the production of hexamethylene diamine, have been tested, mostly for their acute toxicity. This paper reviews methodologies used and the results obtained from these three chemicals. All three tested [2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine (2-MP), 1,3-diaminopentane (DAMP), and 1,2-cyclohexanediamine (DCH)] were 95% pure and were supplied by the DuPont Company. The acute toxicity of all three chemicals is relatively low with acute oral lethal levels in the rat ranging from 1000 to 2300 mg/kg. Single 4-h inhalation exposures show similarly low toxicity with lethality produced in the rat at concentrations ranging from 2.9 to 4.3 mg/L. These diamines are severe skin irritants in both the rabbit and the guinea pig and are also severe eye irritants (studied only in 2-MP). Dermal sensitization was seen in the guinea pig with DAMP and DCH but not with 2-MP. The irritant dose of these materials was shown in repeated exposure inhalation studies when 2-MP and DCH produced irritation in the upper respiratory tract (point of contact) with some lower lung involvement but no significant systemic effects. 2-MP when fed to rats produced a slight body weight effect at dose equivalents of 800 mg/kg with no other parameters affected. All three materials were inactive in Salmonella, and 2-MP did not produce chromosomal aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes. The main effects of this series of diamines appear related to their irritant properties, and attention needs to be paid to their delayed hypersensitivity potential.

Abstract
Effects of mono- and dicationic derivatives of adamantane and phenylcyclohexyl on the petyleneterazole-induced (35 mg/kg i. p.) kindling were studied in the experiments on mice. Monocationic derivative of phenylcyclohexyl IEM-1921, effectively retarded the development of kindling beginning the dose 0.0001 microM/kg. Memantine: derivative of adamantane (derivative of adamatane) produced the same effect with 100-fold increased dose. Dicationic derivative ofphenylcyclohexyl: IEM-1925, is able to block equally the open channels of both NMDA and subtype of Ca-permeable AMPA receptors. Its effect on kindling differed markedly from selective NMDA antagonists (IEM-1921 and memantine) in more complicated dose-dependence. The retardation of kindling IEM-1925 was induced at 0.001 microM/kg. On the contrary, a 10-time lower dose: 0.0001 microM/kg, facilitated the development of kindling. The observed difference in the activity of selective NMDA antagonists and the drugs combining anti-NMDA and anti-AMPA potency indicates that both types of ionotropic glutamate receptors are involved in the mechanism of petyleneterazole-induced kindling. The integral effect of channel blockade evoked by drugs seems to be dependent not only upon the ratio of the receptor types but on the kinetics of drug action, too.

Abstract
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic peptide produced in the lateral hypothalamus. It has been implicated in a number of physiological processes including feeding behavior, energy balance, and the regulation of emotional states. Here, we report in vitro and in vivo profiles of ATC0065 [N(2)-[cis-4-({2-[4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]ethyl}amino)cyclohexyl]-N(4), N(4)-dimethylquinazoline-2,4-diamine dihydrochloride] and ATC0175 [N-(cis-4-{[4-(dimethylamino)quinazolin-2-yl]amino}cyclohexyl)-3,4-difluorobenzamide hydrochloride], newly synthesized MCH receptor 1 (MCHR1) antagonists. Both ATC0065 and ATC0175 had high affinities for human MCHR1 with IC(50) values of 15.7 +/- 1.95 and 7.23 +/- 0.59 nM, respectively. Both ATC0065 (IC(50) = 21.4 +/- 1.57 nM) and ATC0175 (IC(50) = 13.5 +/- 0.78 nM) showed potent antagonist activities at MCHR1, as assessed by MCH-increased guanosine 5'-O-(3-[(35)S]thio)phosphate ([(35)S]GTPgammaS) binding to human MCHR1. Oral administration of ATC0065 (3-30 mg/kg) or ATC0175 (1-10 mg/kg) significantly reduced immobility time in the forced swimming test in rats, indicating antidepressant-like effects. Both ATC0065 and ATC0175 significantly reversed swim stress-induced anxiety in the elevated plus-maze test in rats and stress-induced hyperthermia in mice. ATC0175 significantly increased social interaction between unfamiliar rats and reduced separation-induced vocalizations in guinea pig pups, indicating anxiolytic potential. In contrast, ATC0065 and ATC0175 did not affect spontaneous locomotor activity or rotarod performance in rats. These findings indicate that ATC0065 and ATC0175 are potent and orally active MCHR1 antagonists with anxiolytic and antidepressant activity in rodents.

Abstract
In rat tissues, a decrease in spermidine, accompanied by an increase in spermine was induced by the oral administration (once daily for either 1 week or 1 month) of trans-4-methylcyclohexylamine (4MCHA), a spermidine synthase inhibitor. This is similar to the changes observed in polyamine content when cell growth is arrested. The body-weight gain of the rats tended to decrease with increasing doses of 4MCHA. A decrease in spermidine, combined with a moderate increase in spermine, was observed dose-dependently in all of the tissues tested, with a relatively fast clearance of 4MCHA. Manipulating the polyamine content of tissues, by daily administration of 100 mumol 4MCHA for 1 week, made it possible to estimate the effects of simultaneously added spermidine or spermine on endogenous polyamine contents. The altered polyamine levels, obtained after daily administration for 1 week, were maintained during the extended 1-month period, with growth-dependent alteration. The results show it is possible to produce experimental rats with a higher spermine:spermidine ratio than control rats to investigate the physiological significance of spermidine downregulation and spermine upregulation in vivo.

Abstract
We have investigated the pharmacological properties of MEN 11467, a novel partially retro-inverse peptidomimetic antagonist of tachykinin NK(1) receptors. MEN 11467 potently inhibits the binding of [(3)H] substance P (SP) to tachykinin NK(1) receptors in the IM9 limphoblastoid cell line (pK(i) = 9.4 +/- 0.1). MEN 11467 is highly specific for the human tachykinin NK(1) receptors, since it has negligible effects (pK(i) <6) on the binding of specific ligands to tachykinin NK(2) or NK(3) receptors and to a panel of 30 receptors ion channels unrelated to tachykinin receptors. The antagonism exerted by MEN 11467 at tachykinin NK(1) receptors is insurmountable in saturation binding experiments, both K(D) and B(max) of SP were significantly reduced by MEN 11467 (0.3-10 nM). In the guinea-pig isolated ileum, MEN 11467 (0.03-1 nM) produced a nonparallel rightward shift of the concentration-response curve to SP methylester with a concomitant reduction of the Emax to the agonist (pK(B) = 10.7 +/- 0.1). Moreover the antagonist activity of MEN 11467 was hardly reversible despite prolonged washout. In vivo, MEN 11467 produced a long lasting (> 2-3h) dose-dependent antagonism of bronchoconstriction induced by the selective tachykinin NK(1) receptor agonist, [Sar(9), Met(O(2))(11)]SP in anaesthetized guinea-pigs (ID(50)s' = 29+/-5, 31+/-12 and 670+/-270 microg/kg, after intravenous, intranasal and intraduodenal administration, respectively), without affecting bronchoconstriction induced by methacholine. After oral administration MEN 11467 produced a dose-dependent inhibition of plasma protein extravasation induced in guinea-pig bronchi by [Sar(9), Met(O(2))(11)] (ID(50) = 6.7 +/- 2 mg/kg) or by antigen challenge in sensitized animals (ID(50) = 1.3 mg/kg). After i.v. administration MEN 11467 weakly inhibited the GR 73632-induced foot tapping behaviour in gerbil (ED(50) = 2.96 +/- 2 mg/kg), indicating a poor ability to block central tachykinin NK(1) receptors. These results demonstrate that MEN 11467 is a potent, highly selective and orally effective insurmountable pseudopeptide antagonist of peripheral tachykinin NK(1) receptors with a long duration of action.

Recently, in an attempt to isolate the nonopioid sigma receptor, Su and colleagues purified a protein from rat liver and brain which appeared to resemble the original sigma opioid receptor as proposed by Martin in 1976, and for which the nonopiate sigma-1 ligand (+)pentazocine presents a high affinity. Previous in vivo electrophysiological studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that several selective sigma-1 ligands potentiate the neuronal response to NMDA. The goal of the present series of experiments was to assess the effects of some selective sigma-1 ligands on the potentiation of the NMDA response and to determine if this potentiation was mediated by the naloxone-sensitive sigma receptor. Extracellular unitary recordings from pyramidal neurons of the CA3 region of the rat dorsal hippocampus were obtained. The sigma-1 ligands BD 737, L 687-384, and JO-1784 (igmesine), administered intravenously at low doses, potentiated the NMDA response but the opiate antagonist naloxone failed to reverse this potentiation. However, the potentiation of the NMDA response induced by the sigma-1 ligand (+)pentazocine was suppressed by naloxone but not by the mu antagonist cyprodime hydrobomide, the kappa antagonist DIPPA nor by the delta antagonist naltrindole. (+/-) Cyclazocine, which presents a high affinity for the above-mentioned sigma-opiate receptor acted as an antagonist by suppressing the potentiation of the NMDA response induced by both JO-1784 and (+)pentazocine. These results suggest that the effects induced by some sigma-1 ligands may, in fact, be sensitive to naloxone while others may not. The original classification of sigma receptors as opiates might have been partly accurate.

Abstract
Some of the chromophoric chain substituted hemicyaninocolourants (CCHCs) were synthesized and confirmed on the basis of nitrogen analysis. These were tested for their antinociceptive activity in albino rats against tail flick technique and sodium chloride induced writhing test. Test compounds were given in graded doses (10, 20 and 50 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and compared with morphine and aspirin as standard controls. Two compounds CCHC-1 and CCHC-2 showed antinociceptive activity in a dose-dependent manner in both the experimental models. The compound CCHC-3 did not exhibit antinociceptive activity to any significant extent.

Abstract
The uptake kinetics of cisplatin analogs of 1,2-cyclohexanediamine(dach) isomers with various leaving groups, by human erythrocytes in plasma isotonic buffer, were studied. The experimental results showed that the uptake rate constants (k values) decrease with the change of leaving group in the sequence: chloride (Cl) > squaric acid (SA) > oxalate (OX) > demethylcantharic acid (DA), with the same dach isomer as carrier group. It is noteworthy that for the platinum (II) complexes with the same leaving group, the k values always reduce as: 1R, 2R-dach > 1R, 2S-dach > 1S, 2S-dach. This result reflects the chirality selectivity. No differences in reactivity to protein thiols and effects on membrane permeability were found for the R,R-, R,S-, S,S-isomeric complexes. It is proposed that the chirality selectivity in uptake is due to the recognition of the chirality of the platinum complexes by the erythrocyte membrane. The interactions between the chiral platinum complexes and the head groups of the membrane phospholipid molecules are probably involved.

Abstract
The increase in extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in rat hypothalamus following administration of fluoxetine, a 5-HT-uptake inhibitor, was enhanced by the injection of LY206130(1-[1-H-indol-4-yloxy]-3-[cyclohexylamino]-2-prop ano l maleate), a 5HT1A receptor antagonist, or by L-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP), the 5-HT precursor. Elevation of serum corticosterone, measured as a functional output of hypothalamic 5-HT pathways, was greater in rats treated with fluoxetine plus LY206130 or with fluoxetine plus L-5-HTP than in rats treated with the agents alone. Synergism between effects of fluoxetine and L-5HTP has often been reported, but this is the first report of an increased functional effect when a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist is combined with a 5-HT uptake inhibitor to augment the increase in extracellular 5-HT.

Abstract
The inhibitory effect on cell growth of a combination of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and an inhibitor of aminopropyl transferase was examined. N-(3-aminopropyl)cyclohexylamine (APCHA) and trans-4-methylcyclohexylamine (4MCHA) were used as inhibitors of spermine and spermidine synthases, respectively. Combination of DFMO and APCHA showed strong inhibitory effects on the growth of FM3A cultured cells and P388 leukemia cells in mice, compared with DFMO alone. The prolongation of survival time of P388 leukemia-bearing mice by DFMO (1,500 mg/kg) was 1.12-fold, while that by DFMO (1,500 mg/kg) plus APCHA (25 mg/kg) was 1.30-fold. The prolongation of survival time nearly paralleled the decrease of P388 leukemia cells in mice. However, the antiproliferative effect of DFMO was not strengthened by 4MCHA in the above two experimental systems. In the FM3A cell culture system, both putrescine and spermidine contents were decreased by DFMO, but spermine content did not decrease significantly. When APCHA was added to the medium with DFMO, spermine content was decreased greatly but a compensatory increase in spermidine was observed. Spermidine content in P388 leukemia cells was also decreased by DFMO, the increase in spermine was suppressed but a compensatory increase in spermidine was observed. Nevertheless, the spermidine content remained significantly low compared with the value in non-treated P388 leukemia cells. Thus, the results indicate that the antiproliferative effect of DFMO was strengthened by APCHA due to the decrease in spermine content, and that the decrease in total amount of spermidine and spermine, especially the decrease in spermine, is necessary for inhibition of cell growth.

Abstract
Lipophilic diaminocyclohexane (DACH) platinum complexes have shown significant promise in preclinical studies. One of these compounds, cis-bis-neodecanoato-trans-R,R-1,2-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum++ +(II) (NDDP), which contains two branched leaving groups of 10 carbons, showed a favorable toxicity profile in a liposomal formulation in early clinical trials. However, like many other DACH platinum compounds with branched leaving groups, it is unstable within the liposomes, thus preventing its widespread clinical evaluation. We studied the effect of the configuration of leaving groups on intraliposomal complex stability by studying a series of DACH platinum complexes containing linear alkyl carboxylato leaving groups of 5-18 carbons. The entrapment efficiency was greater than 90% for all liposomal preparations of the complexes and was independent of lipid composition and length of the leaving group. The drug leakage from the liposomes was minimal, but was directly related to the length of the leaving group. Intraliposomal stability was inversely related to the length of the leaving group and the content of DMPG (dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol) in the liposomes. The effect of length of leaving group on intraliposomal stability was minimal in compounds with leaving groups smaller than 10 carbons, but very pronounced in compounds with longer leaving groups. Stable liposomal formulations of selected compounds with leaving groups of 6 and 10 carbons had significant in vivo antitumor activity against both L1210/S and L1210/PDD leukemias. The results indicate (1) that compounds with linear leaving groups are much more stable within DMPG-containing liposomes than compounds with branched leaving groups and (2) that DMPG is required for in vivo antitumor activity. Stable and active liposomal formulations of selected compounds with linear leaving groups have been identified. These formulations are candidates for clinical development.

Abstract
The anticonvulsant and toxic properties of methyl 4-[(p-chlorophenyl)amino]-6-methyl-2-oxocyclohex-3-en-1-oate (ADD 196022), were compared with those of phenytoin (PHT), carbamazepine (CBZ), and valproate (VPA). These compounds were evaluated in mice and rats using well-standardized anticonvulsant testing procedures. Results indicate that ADD 196022 is a very potent anticonvulsant in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model. The compound was effective in nontoxic doses after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration in mice and oral administration in rats. In mice, i.p. administration of ADD 196022 resulted in an ED50 value of 26.2 mg/kg as compared with a value of 6.48 mg/kg for PHT in the same assay. ADD 196022 was more potent that PHT in the oral rat model, having an ED50 value of 5.79 mg/kg as compared to 23.2 mg/kg for PHT. ADD 196022 was ineffective in nontoxic doses against all other seizure models evaluated and thus has a pharmacologic profile similar to that of PHT.

Abstract
Intravenous infusion of cyclohexylamine (30-120 mg/kg) caused a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure in urethane-anesthetized rats. The increase in blood pressure was inversely related to the duration of the infusion. The blood pressure returned to baseline values (+/- 5 mm Hg) within 60 min of the end of the infusion after doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg were administered over 20 and 40 min. The plasma concentrations of cyclohexylamine were related linearly to the administered dose and decreased only 27% between the end of the infusion and 60 min later. The concentration-effect relationship showed clockwise hysteresis, indicative of tachyphylaxis, as has been reported in humans (Eichelbaum et al., 1974). Administration of bolus doses of tyramine at the end of the infusion or 60 min later demonstrated the presence of an indirect sympathomimetic response, although this was attenuated to a greater extent by high doses and more rapid infusions of cyclohexylamine. An almost complete loss of response to tyramine was found only in animals given 120 mg/kg over 40 min. The presence of a tyramine response 60 min after the infusion of 60 mg/kg occurred when there was an essentially complete reversal of the hypertensive effect of cyclohexylamine. These data indicate that the hypertensive effect of the indirectly acting sympathomimetic amine cyclohexylamine occurs primarily during rapid increases in plasma concentrations. Tachyphylaxis develops rapidly after the cessation of the infusion which is probably due largely to reuptake of released noradrenaline at low doses and depletion of releasable noradrenaline at high doses.

Abstract
1-Phenylcyclohexylamine (PCA) and its analogues 1-phenylcyclopentylamine (PPA) and 1-(3-fluorophenyl)cyclohexylamine (3-F-PCA) are potent anticonvulsants in the mouse maximal electroshock (MES) seizure test. Unlike the structurally related dissociative anesthetic phencyclidine (PCP), however, which produces motor toxicity at anticonvulsant doses, PCA, PPA, and 3-F-PCA protect against MES seizures at 2.2- to 3.5-fold lower doses than those that cause motor toxicity when administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). In the present study, we evaluated the oral anticonvulsant activity of PCA, PPA, and 3-F-PCA in mice; we also examined 3-F-PCA in rats. All the compounds were orally active in the mouse MES seizure test (ED50 values 14.5, 53.4, and 26.7 mg/kg, respectively). Moreover, 3-F-PCA was especially potent in rats, either when administered i.p. (ED50 0.4 mg/kg vs. 9.4 mg/kg in mice) or orally (ED50 0.8 mg/kg). Surprisingly, however, oral PPA failed to cause motor toxicity in mice even at doses that were many times higher than those that were protective in the MES test (TD50 greater than 300 mg/kg). In rats, 3-F-PCA also showed a strikingly low oral toxicity (TD50 greater than 50 mg/kg) in relation to its potency as an anticonvulsant. Like PCP, PCA analogues block N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced behavioral effects and lethality in mice. Moreover, in vitro studies indicate that the compounds act as uncompetitive antagonists of the NMDA receptor-channel complex. Therefore, their anticonvulsant activity may, at least in part, relate to an interaction with NMDA receptors.

Abstract
New platinum(II) complexes, bis(bilato)-1,2-cyclohexanediammineplatinum(II) which were lipophilic and water-miscible, were tested for antitumor activity against lung nodules from intravenously injected B16-F10 melanoma cells in C57BL/6 mice by intravenous administration of the complexes in water suspension form. Among them, DACHP(litho)2 and DACHP(urso)2 had high antitumor activity but others had no activity. The antitumor activity of DACHP(urso)2 was increased significantly by injecting it three times; T/C was over 280% with 100-day survivors of 3 of 6 mice tested. Large amounts of total platinum were found in lung and liver tissues by atomic absorption spectroscopy after single intravenous injection of DACHP(urso)2 suspension in ICR mice.

Abstract
Water-miscible platinum(II) complexes with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane as the carrier ligand and bile acids as the leaving ligands were synthesized and tested for antitumor activity against intraperitoneally implanted leukemia L1210 cells in mice. These complexes were water-miscible after appropriate sonication due to the presence of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups in the molecule, even though the complexes were essentially lipophilic. The complexes had high antitumor activity, but their optimal dose levels differed, and the administration route and form affected the antitumor activity. More lipophilic complexes showed higher activity when administered with Lipiodol than in water suspension, while the hydrophilic complexes showed significant activity when administered in water suspension. Intravenous administration of DACHP(cheno)2 in water suspension resulted in potent antitumor activity, while other complexes showed moderate activity via this route.

Abstract
The possible embryotoxic effects of cyclohexylamine hydrochloride doses (expressed as free base) of 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg of body weight per day administered orally in water to mice and rats from the 6th to 15th day post-coitum were investigated. Treatment with daily doses of up to 100 mg/kg of body weight to mice and of up to 30 mg/kg to rats had no adverse effect on the mothers and the embryos. In the rat the dose of 100 mg/kg led to decreased weight gain in the mothers during the treatment period. In parallel, a non-specific retardation of the embryo was found, since the weight of the foetus and of the placenta were significantly reduced. Cyclohexylamine had neither a teratogenic effect nor a primary toxic effect on the embryo in either of the animal species. The tolerated dose without any harm for the development of the embryo was 100 mg/kg/day in mice and 30 mg/kg/day in rats.

Abstract
4,4-Diphenyl-N-isopropyl-cyclohexylamine-hydrochloride (pramiverine, Sistalgin) was investigated alone and in combination (1 + 1000) with N-methyl-N-(2,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-4-yl)-aminomethanesulfonate (metamizole) in various species for acute toxicity after oral and intravenous administration, for local tolerance and subacute toxicity. In addition, long-term trials and reproduction toxicity studies were performed with pramiverine. Pramiverine was only slightly toxic and was well tolerated locally as an ampoule solution also in combination with metamizole. The acute trials of the two compounds in mice and rats like the subacute study in rats showed that the toxicity of metamizole was not increased by pramiverine. Rats tolerated in the long-term trial all pramiverine doses examined (0.5; 5.0; 50.0 mg/kg), while cholinolytic concomitant effects were observed in dogs under higher doses (5.0 and 20.0 mg/kg). Pramiverine did not have a foetotoxic and teratogenic effect in mice, rats and rabbits. In the perinatal and postnatal experiment in rats no effect on foetal development, viability and growth of the offspring as well as the course of labour and lactation ability of the dams was observed.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic properties of 4,4-diphenyl-N-isopropyl-cyclohexylamine-hydrochloride (pramiverine, Sistalgin) in Wistar rats, beagles, and rhesus monkeys are described. After i.v. injection of 14C-labelled pramiverine incorporation of radioactivity from the blood into organs and tissues is rapid. The radioactivity is eliminated from the blood with a half-life of 4-7 h in rats, 17-32 in dogs, and 8-26 h in rhesus monkeys. Unmetabolized pramiverine, in contrast, is eliminated much faster, the half-lives are 2 h in dogs and 3 h in rhesus monkeys. After oral administration maximum serum concentrations are reached after 4 h in rats and dogs and 2 h in rhesus monkeys. The drug undergoes a marked first-pass effect in the liver. In all species pramiverine is absorbed rapidly from the gastro-intestinal tract. Drug and/or metabolites are eliminated in rats and dogs predominantly with feces, in monkeys with urine, independent of the route of administration. During a 6 h interval, biliary elimination was found to be 50% after i.v. and 30% after oral administration. 90% of pramiverine present in the blood plasma is reversibly bound to proteins.

Abstract
Distribution of 4,4-diphenyl-N-isopropyl-cyclohexylamine-hydrochloride (pramiverine, Sistalgin) following single and repeated i.v. and p.o. administration, resp., has been studied in rats. After i.v. administration, pramiverine is rapidly taken up by tissue. Most organs attain higher concentrations than does the blood plasma, especially the lungs and also kidneys, liver, heart and endocrine organs. After p.o. administration, a marked first-pass effect of the liver is observed. The metabolites thus formed show a somewhat less pronounced affinity for organs and tissues. Higher concentrations are found only in the excretory organs, i.e. liver and kidneys. 14C-Pramiverine is rapidly eliminated, 24 h after application the level of radioactivity has fallen below detection limit. After repeated applications of 14C-pramiverine higher concentrations, as compared to one single administration, were observed only in liver and kidneys, especially after i.v. injection. An organ-specific accumulation of the drug can be excluded. No placental transfer of pramiverine and/or its metabolites could be observed.

Abstract
1. [1-(14)C]Cyclohexylamine hydrochloride was synthesized and given orally or intraperitoneally to rats, rabbits and guinea pigs (dose 50-500mg/kg) and orally to humans (dose 25 or 200mg/person). The (14)C is excreted mainly in the urine, most of the excretion occurring in the first day after dosing. Only small amounts (1-7%) are found in the faeces. 2. In the rat, guinea pig and man, the amine is largely excreted unchanged, only 4-5% of the dose being metabolized in 24h in the rat and guinea pig and 1-2% in man. In the rabbit about two-thirds of the dose is excreted unchanged and about 30% is metabolized. 3. In the rat, five minor metabolites were found, namely cyclohexanol (0.05%), trans-3- (2.2%), cis-4- (1.7%), trans-4- (0.5%) and cis-3-aminocyclohexanol (0.1% of the dose in 24h). 4. In the rabbit, eight metabolites were identified, namely cyclohexanol (9.3%), trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol (4.7%), cyclohexanone (0.2%), cyclohexylhydroxylamine (0.2%) and trans-3- (11.3%), cis-3- (0.6%), trans-4- (0.4%) and cis-4-aminocyclohexanol (0.2%). 5. In the guinea pig, six minor metabolites were found, namely cyclohexanol (0.5%), trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol (2.5%) and trans-3- (1.2%), cis-3- (0.2%), trans-4- (0.2%) and cis-4-aminocyclohexanol (0.2%). 6. In man only two metabolites were definitely identified, namely cyclohexanol (0.2%) and trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol (1.4% of the dose), but man had been given a smaller dose (3mg/kg) than the other species (50mg/kg). 7. The hydroxylated metabolites of cyclohexylamine were excreted in the urine in both free and conjugated forms. 8. Although cyclohexylamine is metabolized to only a minor extent, in rats the metabolism was mainly through hydroxylation of the cyclohexane ring, in man by deamination and in guinea pigs and rabbits by ring hydroxylation and deamination.
