Intraperitoneal administration of carrageenin-zymosan suspension into rats induced an increment of the free activity and its ratio of aryl sulfatase in the exudate and such was accompanied by protein exudation and polymorphonuclear leukocyte emigration. Each test solution was orally administered twice, 1 hr before and 2 hr after, or once 2 hr after injection of the irritant. The peritoneal fluid was withdrawn 5 hr after the injection. 2-[4-(2-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridyl)phenyl] propionic acid (Y-9213) and other anti-inflammatory drugs tested inhibited the increment of the ratio of the free activity (aryl sulfatase) in the peritoneal fluid at the same dose which showed anti-inflammatory activities such as prevention of protein exudation. These results suggest that Y-9213 inhibits the phagocytic secretion in vivo of lysosomal constituents from leukocytes.

The enzyme spectrum of non proliferating cells of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was investigated by means of different low molecular synthetic substrates. Activities of aminopeptidases were found directed against compounds of L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, glycine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-proline, L-tryptophane, and L-tyrosine, but not against compounds of l-cystine, L-glutaminic acid, L-histidine, L-hydroxyproline, and L-valine (Table 1). The pH optimum of the investigated aminopeptidases ranges from neutral to alkaline reaction (Table 2). Trypsin, chymotrypsin, or chymotrypsin-like proteases were not detected. E. rhusiopathiae possess esterase activity splitting esters of lower carboxylic acids, i. e. acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, caproic acid, and caprylic acid, but no lipase activity. Under the provoked glycosidases only alpha- and beta-D-galactosidase and glucosaminidase were positive. Weak activities of phosphatases and arylsulfatase were found also (Table 3).

After intravenous administration of (-)-epicatechin gallate to Wistar male rats, its biliary metabolites were examined. Deconjugated forms of (-)-epicatechin gallate metabolites were prepared by beta-glucuronidase/sulfatase treatment and purified by HPLC. Five compounds were subjected to FAB-MS and NMR analyses. These metabolites were shown to be (-)-epicatechin gallate, 3'-O-methyl-(-)-epicatechin gallate, 4'-O-methyl-(-)-epicatechin gallate, 4' '-O-methyl-(-)-epicatechin gallate, and 3',4' '-di-O-methyl-(-)-epicatechin gallate. After oral administration, five major metabolites excreted in rat urine were purified in their deconjugated forms and their chemical structures identified. They were degradation products from (-)-epicatechin gallate, pyrogallol, 5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-gamma-valerolactone, 4-hydroxy-5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)valeric acid, 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, and m-coumaric acid. Time course analysis of the identified (-)-epicatechin gallate metabolites showed that (-)-epicatechin gallate and its conjugate appeared in the plasma with their highest levels 0.5 h after oral administration; their levels rapidly decreased, and then they disappeared by 6 h. The degradation products, mainly in their conjugated forms, emerged at 6 h, peaked at 24 h, and disappeared by 48 h. In urine samples, (-)-epicatechin gallate and its methylated metabolites were hardly detected and the degradation products began to be excreted in the 6-24 h period, peaked in the 24-48 h period, and then began to disappear. The most abundant metabolite in both the plasma and the urine was found to be the conjugated form of pyrogallol. On the basis of these results, a possible metabolic route of (-)-epicatechin gallate orally administered to the rat is proposed.
