Inorganic lead compounds such as PbO, Pb02, Pb304, PbS, lead molybdate and lead perchlorate 2) Lead salts of organic adds such as 2,4-dihydroxy benzoic add, salicylic add, acetyl salicylic add and methoxy propionic add i) Effective with propellants of cal. val. less than 900 cal. g 1 ii) Lead salts of aromatic adds are effective with propellants of higher cal. val. [237]. 

The cytotoxicity of the Co2(CO)6 alkyne derivative of enkephalin described in Sect. 2.1 was investigated by our group, and IC50 values between 15 and 50 pM were obtained, depending on the cell line [31]. This is about one order of magnitude worse than the activity an Co2(CO)6 alkyne derivative of acetyl salicylic acid, which is the lead structure of this class of compounds [116-118]. 

One of the hypotheses for the development of vascular occlusion that precedes proliferative diabetic retinopathy is that disturbances in the thrombocyte aggregation lead to leukostasis and formation of microthrombosis in the retinal capillaries. Consequently, attention has been focused at treating diabetic retinopathy with inhibitors of thrombocyte aggregation. However, a prospective study has shown that acetyl salicylic acid does not reduce the development of diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, this treatment does not increase the risk of developing complications such as vitreous hemorrhage. This is important evidence since inhibitors of thrombocyte aggregation are often used to reduce the risk of the development of the macrovascular complications of the disease [12]. 

The use of semi-synthetic derivatives as drugs developed from plant natural product lead compoimds began at the end of the nineteenth century and may be exemplified by drugs like aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid). From then on, the potential of plant-derived compounds as leads in drug discovery has been realized on numerous occasions [8], A survey released recently revealed that over 40% of the new small-molecular single chemical entity drugs introduced to the market from 1981 to 2006 are natural product derivatives, with 28% of them being chemical semi-synthetic modifications... 

While aspirin itself does not occur in nature, similar, less effective substances do. Willow extracts, sold in health food stores, cannot match aspirin s demonstrated effectiveness in fact, aspirin came about as an improvement on the natural salicylates. Furthermore, we may attribute aspirin s anticoagulant effect to the acetyl part of the molecule responsible for deactivating an enzyme that leads to blood-clot formation. So there is really no point in chewing on willow bark to prevent a heart attack.

Several drugs, including salicylate (in overdose), alcohol, and possibly some hydrazines and other drugs which are metabolised by acetylation, have saturable elimination kinetics, but the only significant clinical example is phenytoin. With this drug, capacity-limited elimination is complicated further by its low therapeutic index. A 50% increase in the dose of phenytoin can result in a 600% increase in the steady-state blood concentration, and thus expose the patient to potential toxicity. Capacity-limited pathways of elimination lead to plasma concentrations of drugs which can be described by a form of the Michaelis-Menten equation. In such cases, the plasma concentration at steady state is given by... 

It should be noted that the proposed attack of acylate ion at the sahcoyl carbon, unlike attack of water, would not lead to hydrolysis and that attack at the salicyl carbonyl group would be more adversely affected by an electrostatic effect than attack at the acetyl group. 

To decide the mechanism of hydrolysis of the ionized and unionized forms of aspirin and monosubstituted aspirins is more difficult because these lead to no incorporation of label into the product salicylic acid when reaction is carried out in 0-enriched water, and there is no formation of the methyl salicylate when reaction is carried out in aqueous methanol [77]. Therefore either the reaction does not proceed via a mixed anhydride or this anhydride reacts exclusively by attack at the acetyl group.
