Foremost we hope - and believe - that chemoinformatics will become of increasing importance in the teaching of chemistry. The instruments and methods that are used in chemistry will continue to swamp us with data and we have to manage these data to increase our chemical knowledge. We have to understand more deeply, and exploit, the results of our experiments. Concomitantly, demands on the properties of the compounds that are produced by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries will continue to rise. We will need materials that are better we need them to be more selective, have fewer undesirable properties, able to be broken down easily in the environment without producing toxic by-products, and so on. This asks for more insight into the relationships between chemical structures and their properties. Furthermore, we have to plan and perform fewer and more efficient experiments. 

As with acid-base and complexation titrations, redox titrations are not frequently used in modern analytical laboratories. Nevertheless, several important applications continue to find favor in environmental, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories. In this section we review the general application of redox titrimetry. We begin, however, with a brief discussion of selecting and characterizing redox titrants, and methods for controlling the analyte s oxidation state.

The early USPC was dominated by physicians who selected the best dmgs. This prevented iaclusion ia the USP of a large number of substances that were widely used, particularly elixirs, a popular dosage form ia the late nineteenth ceatury. To fill this gap, ia 1888 the American Pharmaceutical Association pubUshed the first NE, which provided standards for dmgs ia wide use but aot iacluded ia the USP. A history of the Natioaal Eormulary is also iacluded at the froat of the NF sectioa ia USP XXII—NFXUII (5). 

In pharmaceutical appHcations, the selectivity of sodium borohydride is ideally suited for conversion of high value iatermediates, such as steroids (qv), ia multistep syntheses. It is used ia the manufacture of a broad spectmm of products such as analgesics, antiarthritics, antibiotics (qv), prostaglandins (qv), and central nervous system suppressants. Typical examples of commercial aldehyde reductions are found ia the manufacture of vitamin A (29) (see Vitamins) and dihydrostreptomycia (30). An acyl azide is reduced ia the synthesis of the antibiotic chloramphenicol (31) and a carbon—carbon double bond is reduced ia an iatermediate ia the manufacture of the analgesic Talwia (32). 

Diketones can be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding monoketone (287) or a-hydroxyketone (288). 1,2-Diketones are used extensively as intermediates in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, flavors, and fragrances. Toxicity data for selected diketones are shown in Table 11. 

Quantitative mass spectrometry, also used for pharmaceutical appHcations, involves the use of isotopicaHy labeled internal standards for method calibration and the calculation of percent recoveries (9). Maximum sensitivity is obtained when the mass spectrometer is set to monitor only a few ions, which are characteristic of the target compounds to be quantified, a procedure known as the selected ion monitoring mode (sim). When chlorinated species are to be detected, then two ions from the isotopic envelope can be monitored, and confirmation of the target compound can be based not only on the gc retention time and the mass, but on the ratio of the two ion abundances being close to the theoretically expected value. The spectrometer cycles through the ions in the shortest possible time. This avoids compromising the chromatographic resolution of the gc, because even after extraction the sample contains many compounds in addition to the analyte. To increase sensitivity, some methods use sample concentration techniques. 

The total U.S. market value for the anesthetic agents Hsted was 299.9 million ia 1990 (162). General inhalation agents, valued at 154.5 million, comprised over half (51.5%) of the 1990 market. General iv anesthetics were valued at 111.5 million (37.2%). Local iajectable agents, at 33.9 million, represented the smallest portion of the market (11.3%). U.S. sales for selected anesthesia pharmaceuticals are given ia Table 6. 

Cross-linked versions of water-soluble polymers swollen in aqueous media are broadly referred to as hydrogels (52) and have a growing commercial utility in such apphcations as oxygen-permeable soft contact lenses (qv) (53) (Table 4) and controUed-release pharmaceutical dmg deflvery devices (54). Cross-linked PVP and selected copolymers fit this definition and are of interest because of the following stmcture/performance characteristics ... 

One of the simplest molecules found to inhibit the repHcation of DNA vimses in animals is phosphonoformic acid [4428-95-9] (PEA, 1) CH O P. Both PEA (as the trisodium salt CNa O P, foscamet [63585-09-1] audits homologue phosphono acetic acid [4408-78-0] (PAA, 2) C2H O P, were developed by Astra Pharmaceuticals (6) and show selective inhibition of DNA polymerase in various herpes vimses.
