[Qualitative and quantitative analysis of ammonium salts of hexamethylenetetramine and 1,10-phenanthroline]. / Heksametilentetramino ir 1,10-fenantrolino amonio drusku kokybine ir kiekybine analize.

By use of chemical and physicochemical methods the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bacteriostatic agents N-carbamoylmethylhexamethylenetetraamonium chloride (U-77) and 1-propyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium iodide (X-50) was carried out. The color reactions of these salts with various agents, e. g., concentrated acids, precipitants, oxidizers, indicators, ninhydrin, salts of heavy metals were assesssed. Some characteristic color reactions were found for analysis of quaternary ammonium salts. Experimental results indicate that interaction of N-carbamoylmethyhexamethylenetetraammonium chloride with silver nitrate leads to precipitate of the free silver in the form of a mirror under the proper conditions. It is a result of degradation of hexamethylenetetramine to formaldehyde and its oxidation, which is accompanied by reduction of silver ion to free silver. By use of thin-layer chromatography and ultraviolet spectrophotometry the physicochemical properties of compounds were tested. The suitability of qualitative methods, such as argentometry, mercurimetry, iodometry, extraction photometric analysis was detected. The results suggest, that the most suitable and precise method is argentometry.

[Antimicrobial action of ammonium salts of fused heterocycles containing ortho-nitrogen]. / Kondensuotu heterociklu amonio drusku su azoto atomu ortopadetyje bakteriostatinis poveikis.

By alkylation of hexamethylenetetramine with halogenated derivatives of ketones, ethers, esters or amides of acids, alkyl- and aralkyl halides the corresponding N-monoalkylated compounds of hexamethylenetetramine were obtained. The quaternization of pyridine nitrogen in 5,6-benzoquinoline, 8-hydroxyquinoline, quinoline, 1,10-phenanthroline molecules with alkyl- or aralkylhalides was carried out. The susceptibility of Gram-positive (Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli, Salmonella cholerae suis, Salmonella enteridis Gartneri) microorganisms to synthesized quaternary ammonium salts by disc difussion method has been detected. The bacteriostatic action of 0.5-1% solutions of all compounds was assessed in comparison with benzalkonium chloride. It was shown, that the most effectiveness against all strains is possessed by quaternary hexamethylenetetramine ammonium salts, and especially salts, containing 1-propynyl- or hydroxycarbamoylmethyl radicals. The action of these two compounds against Salmonella and Streptococcus was stronger than the action of benzalkonium chloride. Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to these compounds were detected. It was shown, that 1% solutions of chlorides of N-(1-propynyl) hexamethylenetetramonium and N-(hydroxycarbamoylmethyl) hexamethylenetetrammonium demonstrate the same bacteriostatic action against P. aeruginosa as well as benzalkonium chloride.

[Anti-arrhythmic action of N-(aminoalkylene) derivatives of indoline-2,3-diones and 1,2-benzene-dicarboxiamides]. / Indolin-2,3-dionu ir 1,2-benzendikarboksimidu N-aminoalkilintu dariniu sinteze ir antiaritminis poveikis.

The aim of study was to modify the structure of indoline-2,3-diones and 1,2-benzenedicarboximides using the pharmacophores of new generation antiarrhythmics and to assess the impact of their structure upon the acute toxicity and antiarrhythmic action. The quaternary derivatives of N-aminoalkylindoline-2,3-diones and N-aminoalkyl-1,2-benzenedicarboximides were synthesized. The acute toxicity of compounds for white mice was tested. Using the calcium chloride- and aconitine-induced arrhythmia models in rats the antiarrhythmic action of derivatives was assessed. It was shown, that the antiarrhythmic action of N-aminoalkyl-1,2-benzenedicarboximides increases by lengthening of alkylene chain from one methylene group to two or by the presence of methanesulfonamide group in benzene ring. These structural changes, especially the presence of methanesulfonamido group, cause the decrease of acute toxicity. Among the N-aminoalkylindoline-2,3-diones the most antiarrhythmic action and minimal toxicity demonstrates the compound containing the bromo-substituted benzene ring.
