Effects of Child-Pugh B Cirrhosis on Pharmacokinetics of Tofogliflozin, a New Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter (SGLT2) Inhibitor
Conclusions Moderate hepatic impairment increased Cmax and AUCinf of tofogliflozin by 47% and 70%, respectively. This increase in tofogliflozin exposure did not increase UGE in hepatically impaired subjects. A single oral dose of 40 mg tofogliflozin was well tolerated, supporting dose adjustment is unnecessary even in moderately hepatically impaired subjects.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 5-amino-3-aryl-1-(6'-chloropyridazin-3'-yl)pyrazoles and their Derivatives as Analgesic Agents
Drug Res (Stuttg) DOI: 10.1055/a-1202-9959An efficient and environmental benign solvent-free synthesis of 5-amino-3-aryl-1-(6'-chloropyridazin-3'-yl)pyrazoles (4a-e) was accomplished by grinding 3-chloro-6-hydrazinopyridazine (2) and β-ketonitriles (3a-e) in the presence of p-toulenesulfonic acid as a catalyst. Subsequently, 6'-chloro group in 4a-e was replaced with cyclic 2° amine derivatives viz. pyrrolidine 5a, piperidine 5b and morpholine 5c to obtain 6a-e, 7a-e, 8a-e respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were characte...
