Nitrosation of orally administered drugs under simulated stomach conditions
Abstract:
Of a total of 61 drugs considered to be potentially nitrosatable on the basis of their chemical structure, 7 have indeed been nitrosated in gastric juice at pH 2 and under simulated human stomach conditions, where the pH was varied from about 7 to 2 within 60 min. The 7 nitrosatable drugs were ethambutole, despiramine hydrochloride, clomipramine hydrochloride, phenoxymethyl penicillin, aminophenazone, piperazine diadipate and analgine. Inhibition of nitrosation under simulated stomach conditions was also investigated using ascorbic acid, sulfanilamide, p-aminosalicylic acid and sulfamic acid. The first three agents were effective inhibitors, whereas sulfamic acid stimulated nitrosation within a distinct pH range.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
