In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  NHLBI-CHD Cholesterol Lowering Medicines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Bile acid sequestrants bind with cholesterol-containing bile acids in the intestines and are then eliminated in the stool.
Bile acid sequestrants are sometimes prescribed with a statin to increase cholesterol reduction.
The bile acid sequestrants are not prescribed as the sole medicine to lower your cholesterol if you have high triglycerides or a history of severe constipation.

 Carboxylate polymers for internal scale control agents in boiler systems - Patent 4457847
The sequestration must be of such magnitude as to yield a chelation value of at least 200 as measured by specific ion electrodes.
A preferred sequestrant polymer to dispersant polymer ratio is between 30:1 and 10:1 with a most preferred ratio of sequestrant polymer to dispersant polymer being 20:1.
Sequestrant was added slowly so as to avoid the formation of bubbles which could be trapped at the base of the electrodes and result in incorrect readings.

 Bile acid sequestrant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bile acid sequestrants are a group of medications used for binding certain components of bile in the gastrointestinal tract.
Bile acid sequestrants are polymeric compounds which serve as ion exchange resins.
Thus, bile acid sequestrants, along with any bile acids bound to the drug, are excreted via the feces after passage through the gastrointestinal tract.

 Dishwashing composition and method of making the same - Patent 4237024
Alkaline sequestrant builder salts in an amount of about 30% to about 47% are used in the present invention for their ability to form coordination complexes with metallic ions present in hard water so that the usual precipitation reactions of the metal ions are prevented.
The sequestrant builder salts used in the present invention are the typical phosphate compounds, and preferably include sodium tripolyphosphate, trisodium phosphate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate and mixtures thereof.
In addition to the sequestrant builder salts and the carrier material, another substantially dry ingredient may be sodium silicate or potassium silicate or mixtures thereof, preferably having a SiO.sub.2 :M.sub.2 O ratio of about 1:1 to about 3.22:1, and, as presently preferred, about 2.4:1, wherein M is sodium, potassium or mixtures thereof.

Sequestrants are employed in a diverse range of products and processes — from food and household products to industrial applications.
To sequester means to „withdraw from use“ and in particular sequestrants are used to sequester metal ions such as iron, copper, nickel, cobalt, chromium, calcium and manganese.
Sequestrants act by forming strongly associated but soluble complexes with metal ions thereby preventing them from precipitating out or becoming involved in other reactions.

 Bile Acid Sequestrant Drugs
The bile acid sequestrant drugs are among the earliest class of medications used to lower cholesterol.
Bile acid sequestrants have been reported to impair the absorption of numerous nutrients, including calcium, folate, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B 12, and vitamin E.
Although the bile acid sequestrant used in the studies interfered with the absorption of the other nutrients, their levels remained in the normal range.

 Sequestrant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sequestrant is a food additive whose role is to improve the quality and stability of the food products.
Sequestrants form chelate complexes with polyvalent metal ions.
Especially copper, iron and nickel serve as catalysts in oxidation of the fats in the food.

Often these metals, such as copper, iron and nickel, then degrade the food stuffs by catalyzing the oxidation of the fats in the food.
A class of food additives known as sequestrants can be added to food.
The sodium and calcium salts of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) are common sequestrants in many kinds of foods and beverages.

 Sankyo Pharma :: First Data to Show Addition of a Bile Acid Sequestrant (WelChol, colesevelam HCl) to Statin Therapy ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
WelChol, a non-absorbed specifically engineered bile acid sequestrant (SE-BAS) indicated for LDL-C lowering approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing in May 2000, is the top-selling branded drug in the bile acid sequestrant (BAS) class.
Because WelChol is engineered for affinity, specificity and high capacity bile acid binding, it may have a lower drug-drug interaction potential than conventional bile acid sequestrants.
WelChol is different from most other cholesterol-lowering drugs on the market because it is non-systemic, meaning that the body does not absorb it and it is eliminated without traveling to the liver or kidneys.

 Important information to consider about non-systemic cholesterol lowering agents
WelChol is non-systemic (i.e., it is not absorbed and does not travel through the bloodstream.) Thus, patients may avoid systemic side effects that might accompany absorbed cholesterol-lowering drugs.
It's part of the bile acid sequestrant class -- a class that is well studied with a safety record spanning 30 years and proven outcomes data.

Bile acid sequestrants are sometimes prescribed with a statin for patients with heart disease to increase cholesterol reduction.
When these two drugs are combined, their effects are added together to lower LDL-cholesterol by over 40 percent.
Other medications therefore should be taken at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after the resin.

This is the first data to demonstrate that WelChol, a bile acid sequestrant (BAS), when added to statin therapy, reduces hs-CRP levels, which is a marker for inflammation and also a strong predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD) events(1, 2).
"Bile acid sequestrants were one of the first approved cholesterol- lowering drugs, having been studied in the 1970s, before hs-CRP was routinely measured," said lead study investigator Harold E. Bays, MD, FACP, Louisville Metabolic and Atherosclerosis Research Center Inc., Louisville, KY.

OBJECTIVE: Noxious adverse effects frequently limit patient acceptance of niacin and bile acid sequestrants (BAS), first-line agents in the management of hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether telephone contacts from a healthcare professional could improve drug adherence and tolerance in patients prescribed these medications.

 Daiichi Sankyo drug shown to enhance statin therapy - Pharmaceutical Business Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This is the first data to demonstrate that a bile acid sequestrant (BAS), when added to therapy with a statin such as Merck & Co's Zocor or Pfizer's Lipitor, reduces hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) levels, which is a marker for inflammation and also a strong predictor of coronary heart disease events.
In the study, the addition of WelChol to statin therapy led to a median hs-CRP percent drop of 6.2%, whilst the addition of placebo to statin therapy led to a median hs-CRP percent increase of 17.2%.
"Bile acid sequestrants were one of the first approved cholesterol lowering drugs, having been studied in the 1970s, before hs-CRP was routinely measured," said lead study investigator Dr Harold Bays, Louisville Metabolic and Atherosclerosis Research Center.

 ISP Alginates Products
Therefore, alginate products designed for use in cold milk must contain a calcium sequestrant, usually a phosphate or citrate.
The reaction sequence is a rapid dissolution of the sequestered alginate, followed by controlled release of calcium ions from the calcium sulfate and milk.
Controlled release of calcium is obtained by slowly lowering the pH with the weakly acidic potassium hydrogen tartrate, and by the sodium citrate acting as a buffer and weak sequestrant.
