Acute effects of alkylating agents on canine renal function: specifically designed synthetic maleimides
摘要:
Maleimidohippurates and maleimidobenzoates were synthesized that possess a carboxy group for active uptake into renal proximal tubular cells and a reactive maleimide moiety to covalently bond with proximal tubular components. The reactivity of the maleimide moiety in each series was progressively reduced by substitution of methyl groups in place of the vinyl hydrogens. In contrast to N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), the resulting maleimidohippurates and maleimidobenzoates did not possess significant diuretic activity in the dog following renal arterial administration. However, as predicted, the nephrotoxicity of the maleimidohippurates paralleled their in vitro alkylating ability and was quite specifically located in the proximal portion of the canine renal tubule.

A process for the preparation of a (co)polymer containing at least one unit derived from a citraconimide by curing curable composition comprising at least one substituted or unsubstituted citraconimide and a sufficient amount of an anionic curing catalyst to convert at least 10% of the citraconic alkyl groups on the citraconimide units to alkylene bridges; at a temperature above the melting point of the citraconimide unit and the product of that curing process, are disclosed. The invention also relates to the cured oligomers and articles of manufacture embodying them. These novel, cured oligomers are thermoplastic and offer several advantageous properties.
