Objective: To assess the mechanism and rate of in vitro degradation of cisatracurium in aqueous buffer and in human and rat plasma. Methods: Cisatracurium was incubated in aqueous buffer at various pH values or in human and rat plasma maintained at pH 7.4 with HEPES buffer. Cisatracurium and the degradation products, laudanosine and the monoquaternary alcohol, were quantitated by HPLC with use of fluorescence detection. Results: In Soerenson's phosphate buffer, cisatracurium degraded spontaneously by a chemical process commonly reffered to as "Hofmann elimination." The rate of degradation increased with increasing pH. From pH 6.4 to 7.8 there was a 6.5-fold increase in the rate of degradation of cisatracurium and, on a molar basis, the final decomposition product laudanosine accounted for all of the drug. At a pH of 7.4, cisatracurium degraded with a half-life of about 34.1 +/- 2.1 minutes. Cisatracurium incubated in human plasma degraded with a mean (+/- SD) half-life of 29.2 +/- 3.8 minutes, which is consistent with Hofmann elimination. Besides laudanosine, and unlike that observed in Soerenson's phosphate buffer, significant amounts of the monoquaternary alcohol were formed that slowly degraded to laudanosine. The micromoles of laudanosine formed eventually accounted for the total amount of cisatracurium incubated with human plasma. The monoquaternary alcohol appears to be a product of ester hydrolysis of a monoquaternary acrylate formed during the firts step in Hofmann elimination. Evidence for esterase involvement at this step in the degradation of cisatracurium was based on inhibition studies with O-cresyl benzodioxaphosphorin oxide (CBDP), a specific carboxylesterase inhibitor. The addition of CBDP to human plasma completely blocked the formation of monoquaternary alcohol and converted the degradation of cisatracurium to total Hofmann elimination. In rat plasma cisatracurium was hydrolyzed, with a half-life of only 3 1/2 minutes, by carboxylesterases. The addition of CBDP increased the half-life to 25 minutes, which is consistent with Hofmann elimination. Conclusion: In human plasma the rate-limiting step in the degradation of cisatracurium is Hofmann elimination, with the initial formation of a monoquaternary acrylate. The observation that the monoquaternary alcohol results from ester hydrolysis of the monoquaternary acrylate by plasma esterase(s) explains the presence of the monoquaternary alcohol metabolite in human plasma during clinical studies with cisatracurium. The rapid hydrolysis of cisatracurium by rat plasma relative to human indicates a major species difference in plasma esterase(s).

Asymmetric total synthesis of (?)-javaberine A and its epimer was achieved by utilizing two methods for isoquinoline synthesis, asymmetric hydroamination of N-methyl-2-(2-styrylaryl)ethylamine and Bischler-Napieralski cyclization. Intramolecular asymmetric hydroamination of N-methyl aminoalkene 4 was catalyzed by lithium amide–chiral bisoxazoline to give tetrahydroisoquinoline (S)-laudanosine with good enantioselectivity in excellent yield. N-Demethylation of (S)-laudanosine was accomplished by Polonovski-type reaction to give (S)-norlaudanosine. Condensation of (S)-norlaudanosine with homoveratric acid, and subsequent Bischler-Napieralski cyclization, LiAlH4 reduction, and O-demethylation furnished (8R,14S)-(?)-javaberine A, corresponding to antipode of natural javaberine A. (8S,14S)-(?)-Javaberine A, which corresponds to C14-epimer of natural javaberine A, was also successfully synthesized.

Light-Induced Alkylation of (Hetero)aromatic Nitriles in a Transition-Metal-Free C-C-Bond Metathesis

A light-induced C-C-σ-bond metathesis was achieved through transition-metal-free activation of an unstrained C(sp3)-C(sp3)-σ-bond in 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines. A photoredox-mediated single-electron oxidation of these precursor amines yield radical cations which undergo a homolytic cleavage of a C(sp3)-C(sp3)-σ-bond rather than the well-known α-C-H-scission. The resulting carbon-centered radicals are used in the ipso-substitution of (hetero)aromatic nitriles proceeding through another single-electron transfer-mediated C-C-bond cleavage and formation.
