SummaryFactor VIII coagulant activity (VIII: C) has been shown by several investigators to exhibit increased stability in vitro when physiological levels of plasma ionized calcium are maintained by anticoagulation with heparin rather than citrate. An increase in initial activity of VIII: C in heparin over that of VIII: C in citrate has been reported but this has not been confirmed. In order to assay VIII :C in heparinized plasma, the heparin anticoagulant effect must be excluded without interfering with the validity of the assay. A one-stage clotting assay for VIII: C has been developed where heparin is neutralized by Polybrene®, a synthetic polymerized quaternary ammonium salt. VIII :C may be accurately measured by this method which satisfies the requirements for a valid assay of parallelism and linearity.

SummaryThe assessment of factor VIII coagulant activity (FVTII: C) in recently available highly purified and concentrated FVTII therapeutic products calls for careful evaluation of assay methodologies. We assayed more than 130 batches of a concentrate with a specific activity of about 150 FVTII :C units/mg protein, using one-stage and two-stage clotting and chromogenic methods. There was good agreement between the potency estimates obtained with the different methods. We also compared the FVTII :C potencies obtained after predilution in buffer or FVIII-deficient plasma using either calibrated plasma or FVTII concentrate as references. With the one-stage assay we found a marked discrepancy between the potency values obtained with buffer and with FVTII-deficient plasma used as prediluents. In order to validate our “in vitro” data we performed 6 “in vivo” analyses in severe haemophilia A patients. On the basis of the overall data obtained we chose to label FVIII potency by using FVIII-deficient plasma as prediluent, reference plasma as standard and the chromogenic assay method.

An anti-fungal derivative of rosin, bi-quaternary ammonium salt (B-QAS) was synthesized. First, rosin was modified by acrylic acid. Then using this modified rosin reacted with an intermediate quaternary ammonium (epoxy propyl triethyl ammonium chloride) which was the reaction product of triethylamine and epichlorohydrin. The final product was bisN-(3-rosin acyloxy -2-hydroxy) propyl-N, N triethyl ammonium chloride. The chemical structure of the product and its functional groups was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Its yield of greater than 80% was conformed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gravimetric analysis. Its anti-fungal activity was determined in vitro with a paper-disc method. B-QAS presented significant inhibitory effect for Trametes versicolor, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Postia placenta when its concentration was 0.5 mg/mL, whereas for Irpex lacteus the inhibitory effect was a little poor.

The paper deals with instability of solutions of quaternary ammonium permanganates, QMnO4 (Q = tetraethyl-, tetra-1-propyl-, tetra-1-butyl-, tetra-1-pentyl-, tetra-1-octyl-, and cetyltrimethylammonium), in dichloromethane and presents the rate constants and activation parameters of the reduction of permanganate. Attention was paid to the properties of colloidal Mn(IV) intermediate. The stability of the solutions depends markedly on the quaternary ammonium salt used.
