A method of enhancing the efficiency and increasing the duration of action of drugs (e.g. dihydropyridines and anti-bacterials) and particularly of nifedipine and penicillins wherein one or more hydrogen atoms are deuterated and wherein the deuterated drug has unexpectedly improved properties when used in much lower concentrations than unmodified drug. A method for determining the identity and bioequivalency of a new drug is also disclosed wherein the molecular and isotope structure of a new drug is determined by isotope ratio mass spectrometry and compared with the molecular and isotope structure of a known human drug.

There is an urgent need for new, brain penetrant small molecules that target the central nervous system second stage of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). We report that a series of novel indoline-2carboxamides have been identified as inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei from screening of a focused protease library against Trypanosoma brucei brucei in culture. We describe the optimization and characterization of this series. Potent antiproliferative activity was observed. The series demonstrated excellent pharmacokinetic properties, full cures in a stage 1 mouse model of HAT, and a partial cure in a stage 2 mouse model of HAT. Lack of tolerability prevented delivery of a fully curative regimen in the stage 2 mouse model and thus further progress of this series.

AbstractThe loss of CH2˙ from the molecular ion of phenoxyacetic acid and the expulsion of an H˙ atom from ionized anisole lead to phenoxymethylen ions, which fragment predominantly by CO loss on the microsecond time‐scale. Carbon‐13 labelling reveals that ∼90% of the CO molecules expelled from the metastable ions derived from phenoxyacetic acid incorporate the carbon atom from the 1‐position of the phenyl group of the parent compound, whereas the residual CO molecules contain one of the other carbon atoms of the aromatic ring. The 2‐fluoro‐ and 2‐methylphenoxymethylene ions derived from the appropriate aryloxyacetic acids behave similarly, i.e. the carbon atom of the methylene group of the parent compound is not incorporated in the expelled CO molecules. In contrast, ∼45% of the CO molecules eliminated from the metastable phenoxymethylene ions formed from ionized anisole contain the carbon atom of the methyl group, while the remaining part contains the carbon atom from the 1‐position of the phenyl ring of the parent compound. This result is taken as evidence for the occurrence of a skeletal rearrangement of the anisole molecular ion leading to an interchange between the carbon atom of the methyl group and the carbon atom at the 1‐position of the ring. The elimination of CO from the metastable ions generated from either phenoxyacetic acid or anisole gives rise to a composite metastable peak. Conclusive evidence as to the formation of [C7H7O]+ isomers other than the phenoxymethylene ion is not obtained, indicating that the composite metastable peak is a result of two competing reactions both leading to CO loss. Possible mechanisms of these reactions are discussed together with the mechanism of the skeletal rearrangement of the molecular ion of anisole prior to H˙ loss.
