1. Methenamine's journey of 160 years: Repurposal of an old urinary antiseptic for treatment and hypoxic radiosensitization of cancers and glioblastoma
İlhan Elmaci, Meric A Altinoz, Alp Ozpinar, Aysel Ozpinar, Jennifer L Perez Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol . 2019 May;46(5):407-412. doi: 10.1111/1440-1681.13070.
Methenamine (hexamethylenetetramine, hexamine, urotropine) is a compound discovered in 1859, which is still currently being used as a urinary antiseptic. Methenamine is highly soluble in water and polar solvents, and its molecular constitution is similar to adamantane compounds with tetrahedral cage like structure. In acidic conditions, methenamine decomposes to formaldehyde and ammonia. Recently, methenamine has gained a renewal of interest due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria urinary tract infections; interestingly, bacteria cannot gain resistance to formaldehyde. In 1968, David and Burkitt reported remarkable regression of four Burkitt Lymphoma patients in eight subjects who were treated with septicemine (a solution containing 6.3 g of methenamine iodomethylate and 1 g of methenamine sodium benzoate in 100 cc distilled water). Unfortunately, these striking observations did not gain interest in the medical community; despite experimental models that showed that methenamine synergized with hyperthermia, radiation, and chemotherapy to block cancer growth. As the hypoxic core of tumours have an acidic pH, it would be plausible to expect that methenamine would selectively target dormant, non-proliferative, and treatment-resistant cancer clones in large tumours. Moreover, previous data suggests that methenamine can be safely used intravenously and for treatment of infections of the central nervous system. It may therefore be an effective adjuvant in treatment of systemic cancers and glioblastoma.
2. [Specificity of action of piperidylcholine derivatives as substrates of cholinesterases of various origin]
N E Basova, E V Rozengart, A A Suvorov Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol . 2009 Jan-Feb;45(1):25-33.
The review deals with study of enzymologic properties of a novel highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate iodomethylate N-beta-(acetoxyethyl)piperidinium ("piperidylcholine") and its 30 derivatives that were tested as effectors of cholinesterases of mammals and various species of Pacific squids. It was proven for the first time that responsible for specificity of action was structure of cyclic ammonium grouping of the alcohol part of molecule of the ester substrate. Analysis of specificity is performed based on enzymatic analysis parameters - activity of catalytic center of cholinesterases and bimolecular constant of the reaction rate that are determined at optimal and low substrate concentrations. Among the specially synthesized group of thioester compounds there is revealed one more highly specific acetylcholine esterase substrate - N-beta-(acetoxyethyl)piperidinium.

The molarity calculator equation

Mass (g) = Concentration (mol/L) × Volume (L) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2
