This invention relates to the production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to specific sites of rapamycin (Sirolimus). The reactivity of these poly and monoclonal antibodies make them particularly useful for immunoassays for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). These immunoassays or TDM kits may include polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies to specific sites of rapamycin. These kits may also include various combinations of polyclonal antibodies, polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies or a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Rapamycin conjugate immunogens are prepared for the immunization of a host animal to produce antibodies directed against specific regions of the rapamycin molecule. By determining the specific binding region of particular antibody, immunoassays which are capable of distinguishing between the parent molecule, active metabolites, inactive metabolites and other structurally similar immunosuppressant compounds are developed. The use of divinyl sulfone (DVS) as the linker arm molecule for forming rapamycin-protein conjugate immunogens is described. DVS-linked rapamycin-protein conjugates were found to elicit antibodies with greater specificity to the rapamycin molecule than succinate linked conjugates.

Novel controlled release pharmaceutical compositions for oral use containing midodrine and/or its active metabolite desglymidodrine. The novel compositions are designed to release midodrine and/or desglymidodrine after oral intake in a manner which enables absorption to take place in the gastrointestinal tract so that a relatively fast peak plasma concentration of the active metabolite desglymidodrine is obtained followed by a prolonged and relatively constant plasma concentration of desglymidodrine.

The novel compositions may be designed for administration once or twice daily, i.e. a therapeutically effective concentration of desglymidodrine is maintained for a period of at least 10-16 hours followed by a wash out period of about 8-12 hours in order to avoid the well-known midodrine related side effect with respect to supine hypertension. The therapeutically effective concentration of desglymidodrine is regarded as a plasma concentration of desglymidodrine of at least about 3 ng/ml. A composition is designed to release midodrine and/or desglymidodrine in at least the following consecutive steps: i) an initial relatively fast release of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine (in order to obtain a relatively fast onset of action), ii) a steady release or a slower release than in step 1 of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine (in order to maintain a plasma concentration of desglymidodrine which is prolonged and relatively constant), iii) a second rise in release of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine (in order to take advantage of absorption from the colon, i.e. such a second rise release is designed to take place when the composition (or the disintegrated parts of the composition) reaches the colon; normally this is regarded to take about 8 hours after oral intake, and iv) a decline in release rate corresponding to that essentially all midodrine and/or desglymidodrine have been released from the composition.

The invention relates to a method for remedying acidified arsenic contaminated soil by biochar-loaded nano-scale zero-valent iron cooperated with bacteria. The method includes selecting Pseudomonas putida strain MnB1 (ATCC23483); carrying out enrichment culture on the Pseudomonas putida strain in enrichment culture media; inoculating strains in culture media with divalent manganese and carrying out culture on the strains to obtain active metabolites; adding the active metabolites and the green synthetic biochar-loaded nano-scale zero-valent iron into the acidified arsenic contaminated soil anduniformly stirring the active metabolites, the biochar-loaded nano-scale zero-valent iron and the acidified arsenic contaminated soil; carrying out a series of physical-chemical reaction on active manganese oxide, zero-valent iron, biochar and trivalent arsenic or pentavalent arsenic in the soil; converting the arsenic in exchangeable forms into arsenic in residual forms. The method has the advantages that the arsenic in the soil can be effectively immobilized, the pH (potential of hydrogen) of the soil can be increased, and the double purposes of remedying soil acidification and arsenic contamination can be simultaneously achieved; the method is short in remediation time, high in efficiency, wide in treatment range and free of secondary pollution, and stable effects can be realized.

The invention relates to tetrahydrothieno-[2,3-c]pyridine deuterated derivatives and a preparation method and medicament applications thereof, belonging to the field of medicinal chemistry. The derivatives contain salt of a compound in the formula I, and enantiomer and racemate of the compound in the formula I. The in-vitro whole-blood hydrolysis experiment results show that the stability of the compound in the formula I on esterase is good, and the hydrolysis rate of methyl carboxylate is obviously slower than that of non-deuterated methyl ester. The compound in the formula I can be effectively converted into pharmacological active metabolite in a human body to achieve the effect of inhibiting the platelet aggregation, and the concentration of the active metabolite is obviously higher than that of a non-deuterated compound of clopidogrel or a corresponding structure. The pharmacodynamic experiment results show that the compound in the formula I has the effect of obviously inhibiting the platelet aggregation, and the effect of inhibiting the platelet aggregation is obviously better than that of the non-deuterated compound of clopidogrel and the corresponding structure. Therefore, the compound in the formula I can be used for preparing medicaments for preventing or treating related thrombus and embolism diseases.

Novel phannaceutcal kit comprising a controlled release pharmaceutical compositions for oral use containing midodrine and/or its active metabolite desglymidodrine and a relatively fast onset composition. The controlled release compositions are designed to release midodrine and/or desglymidodrine after oral intake in a manner which enables absorption to take place in the gastrointestinal tract so that a relatively fast peak plasma concentration of the active metabolite desglymidodrine is obtained followed by a prolonged and relatively constant plasma concentration of desglymidodrine. The controlled release compositions may be designed for administration once or twice daily, i.e. a therapeutically effective concentration of desglymidodrine is maintained for a period of at least 10-16 hours followed by a wash out period of about 8-12 hours in order to avoid the well-known midodrine related side effect with respect to supine hypertension. The therapeutically effective concentration of desglymidodrine is regarded as a plasma concentration of desglymidodrine of at least about 3 ng/ml. A composition is designed to release midodrine and/or desglymidodrine in at least the following consecutive steps; i) an initial relatively fast release of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine (in order to obtain a relatively fast onset of action), ii) a steady release or a slower release than in step 1 of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine (in order to maintain a plasma concentration of desglymidodrine which is prolonged and relatively constant), iii) a second rise in release of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine (in order to take advantage of absorption from the colon, i.e. such a second rise release is designed to take place when the composition (or the disintegrated parts of the composition) reaches the colon; normally this is regarded to take about 8 hours after oral intake, and iv) a decline in release rate corresponding to that essentially all midodrine and/or desgtymidodrine have been released from the composition. One of the advantages of the invention is that the controlled release composition provides a base line plasma concentration, which during most of the day is therapeutically effective. When a higher concentration is needed, only a minor supply of active drug substance is necessary to obtain a very fast relief from symptoms. If the constant base line plasma concentration was absent, it would be necessary to use a relative higher fast onset dose to reach the high therapeutically effective level. The kit according to the present invention is a superior tool for obtaining an optimal treatment with a minimum of active drug substance. Also disclosed is a method for treating orthostaic hypotension and/or urinary incontinence, the method comprising administration to a patient in need thereof of an effective amount of midodrine and/or desglymidodrine in a kit according to the invention.
