In a double-blind cross-over trial the effects of nitrazepam (5 and 10 mg.), amylobarbitone sodium (100 and 200 mg.), and placebo were compared in normal healthy young people. Though they reported a good night''s sleep and adjudged themselves to be alert after all four drug treatments, behavioural tests showed their performance to be significantly impaired 13 hours after treatment with nitrazepam or amylobarbitone, and E.E.G. records showed more drowsiness and light sleep 18 hours after treatment with nitrazepam than with amylobarbitone or placebo. E.E.G. fast activity was more plentiful after drugs in either dosage than with placebo. 相似文献

A significant rise in plasma γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity (GGT) was observed on 13 out of 14 occasions on which patients on long-term treatment with the oral anticoagulant warfarin were given amylobarbitone, quinalbarbitone, or phenazone (antipyrine) for 30 days. In 13 of these 14 studies there was evidence that drug administration had stimulated the rate of warfarin metabolism. One patient showed no increase in plasma GGT activity, yet a significantly increased rate of warfarin metabolism, and another patient showed an increase in plasma GGT activity without a change in warfarin metabolism. When alterations in both plasma GGT activity and plasma warfarin concentration occurred together in response to drug administration the changes followed a similar time course, occurring after about one week of drug administration with maximal changes at about 10 or 15 days. Administration of chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, nitrazepam, and methaqualone did not stimulate the rate of warfarin metabolism in four patients studied, but plasma GGT activity increased significantly in two of these four instances. The implications of these observations in the interpretation of plasma GGT activities are discussed. 相似文献

A within-subject comparison of the effects on the overnight sleep EEG of 1 tablet of Mandrax (containing methaqualone base 250 mg. and diphenhydramine hydrochloride 25 mg.) and 200 mg. Tuinal (equal parts of quinalbarbitone sodium and amylobarbitone sodium) in 14 normal subjects is reported.Mandrax-induced sleep was not significantly different from natural sleep in the duration of light, moderate, deep and REM phases. Tuinal produced a significant reduction in REM sleep (P < 0.01) compared with natural sleep and with Mandrax-induced sleep. 相似文献

Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is a small protein that binds long-chain dietary fatty acids in the cytosol of the columnar absorptive epithelial cells (enterocytes) of the intestine. The binding cavity of I-FABP is much larger than is necessary to bind a fatty acid molecule, which suggests that the protein may be able to bind other hydrophobic and amphipathic ligands such as lipophilic drugs. Herein we describe the binding of three structurally diverse lipophilic drugs, bezafibrate, ibuprofen (both R- and S-isomers) and nitrazepam to I-FABP. The rank order of affinity for I-FABP determined for these compounds was found to be R-ibuprofen approximately bezafibrate > S-ibuprofen > nitrazepam. The binding affinities were not directly related to aqueous solubility or partition coefficient of the compounds; however, the freely water-soluble drug diltiazem showed no affinity for I-FABP. Drug-I-FABP interaction interfaces were defined by analysis of chemical shift perturbations in NMR spectra, which revealed that the drugs bound within the central fatty acid binding cavity. Each drug participated in a different set of interactions within the cavity; however, a number of common contacts were observed with residues also involved in fatty acid binding. These data suggest that the binding of non-fatty acid lipophilic drugs to I-FABP may increase the cytosolic solubility of these compounds and thereby facilitate drug transport from the intestinal lumen across the enterocyte to sites of distribution and metabolism. 相似文献

Serum and red cell folate levels were reduced in 59% and 58% respectively of 75 children with epilepsy attending a residential school. The degree of folate deficiency was significantly related to increased hepatic microsomal enzyme activity, assessed from increased urinary excretion of D-glucaric acid and also correlated with the daily dose of anticonvulsant taken. Anticonvulsant drugs are known to have inducing properties, and since folate is required as a cofactor in drug hydroxylations it is suggested that folate depletion results from increased demand for the cofactor after induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes. As folate deficiency may ultimately limit drug metabolism this hypothesis would explain why blood phenytoin levels decrease and fit control may worsen after correction of folate deficiency in epileptic patients. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay for the identification and quantification of barbiturates in blood at therapeutic levels has been developed. An ODS-silica column is used with an eluent of 40% methanol at pH 8.5. The barbiturates are detected at 240 nm. The sample preparation procedure involves extraction of unfractionated blood (100 μl) with hexane—diethyl ether (50:50, v/v) and is very rapid. Talbutal is used as an internal standard.The method has been applied to the determination of five barbiturates (amylobarbitone, butobarbitone, cyclobarbitone, pentobarbitone and quinalbarbitone) in blood after therapeutic doses of the drugs. An application of the HPLC assay to forensic casework is demonstrated. 相似文献

To determine the effect of barbiturates on sleep two subjects, after a control period, received 200 mg. of sodium amylobarbitone for 26 nights. All night sleep records taken during this period showed that the barbiturate shortened the delay to sleep, increased the total sleep period, lengthened the delay to rapid eye movement (R.E.M.) sleep, and depressed R.E.M. sleep. After five nights R.E.M. sleep returned to baseline values —that is, showed tolerance. On stopping the drug withdrawal phenomena were seen, even to this small dose of the drug.In a second experiment a subject dependent on 600 mg. of Tuinal was found to have low normal R.E.M. sleep while on drugs. On withdrawal, delay to sleep increased and total sleep time fell. R.E.M. sleep was doubled and the delay to R.E.M. became abnormally short.These findings suggest that hypnotics allow sleep to be “borrowed,” and that patients should be supported while they are being withdrawn. 相似文献

Observational studies with healthy persons demonstrated an inverse association of vitamin E with the risk of coronary heart disease or cancer, the outcome of large-scale clinical trials conducted to prove a benefit of vitamin E in the recurrence and/or progression of such disease, however, was disappointing. Vitamin E did not provide benefits to patients with cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes or hypertension. Even harmful events and worsening of pre-existing diseases were reported, which are hard to explain. Since vitamin E is metabolized along the same routes as xenobiotics and induces drug-metabolizing enzymes in rodents, it is hypothesized that a supplementation with high dosages of vitamin E may also lead to an induction of the drug-metabolizing system in patients that depend on drug therapy. Compromising essential therapy might therefore outweigh any benefit of vitamin E in patients. It is recommended to work out at which threshold the drug-metabolizing system can be induced in humans before new trials with high dosages of vitamin E are started. 相似文献

Detection of free radicals as a consequence of rat intestinal cellular drug metabolism 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Because the intestine is the first pass organ for orally administered drugs and because some of these drugs are known to undergo oxidative metabolism leading to the formation of free radicals, we investigated the potential for this to occur in cell suspensions of rat enterocytes. As part of our study, the effect of intracellularly produced superoxide on cellular metabolism was investigated. The drugs chosen were the quinone, menadione and the aromatic nitro-containing compound, nitrazepam. On incubation of both drugs with isolated enterocytes and the spin trap, 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), rapid appearance of an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum was recorded which was characteristic of hydroxyl radicals being spin trapped by DMPO giving 2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-1-pyrrolidenyloxyl (DMPO-OH). Experiments were conducted which determined that the EPR spectrum of DMPO-OH resulted from the initial spin trapping of superoxide by DMPO to yield the corresponding nitroxide, 2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxyl-1-pyrrolidenyloxyl (DMPO-OOH). Bioreduction of DMPO-OOH by glutathione peroxidase led to the rapid formation of DMPO-OH. We believe this enzymic pathway accounted for the EPR spectrum noted in incubations with either drug in the presence of the spin trap, DMPO. The incubation of enterocytes with both drugs did not mediate release of 51Cr nor lactate dehydrogenase. However, production of 14CO2 from [14C]glucose was severely inhibited (4-5-fold) in the presence of both drugs, while the incorporation of [14C]leucine into trichloroacetic acid precipitable protein was antagonized by menadione only. We conclude that superoxide can be demonstrated to arise as the result of enterocyte metabolism of menadione or nitrazepam. The consequence of oxidative metabolism of these drugs results in cellular dysfunction. 相似文献

Biotransformation enzymes may catalyze either detoxication or bioactivation reactions; indeed, many xenobiotics exert their toxic effects after metabolic activation to electrophilic chemicals, interacting with nucleophilic sites on cellular macromolecules. On the other hand, by increasing xenobiotic hydrophilicity, the drug-metabolizing enzymes favors excretion of lipophilic chemicals, not allowing their bioaccumulation up to toxic levels. The expression of the enzymes of the drug-metabolizing system is modulated by genetic, pathological, developmental, environmental and dietary factors. Genetic polymorphism resulting in interindividual and interethnic variation in xenobiotic metabolism is responsible for differences in the susceptibility to chemical-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity, allowing the identification of people at increased risk. Moreover, differences in drug metabolism may correspond to variability in drug response during pharmacological therapy, which can be manifest either as adverse reactions or as a lack of benefit. 相似文献

Focusing on drug metabolism in liver, we constructed and evaluated a drug-metabolizing bioartificial liver (BAL) support system. In a previous study, we constructed ammonia-metabolizing CHO and hepatoma-derived HepG2 cell lines by recombination of the glutamine synthetase (GS) gene. For further mimicking of liver metabolism, the human hepatoma-derived cell line HepG2 was transformed by the pBudCE-GS-CYP3A4 vector, which contains GS and drug-metabolizing CYP 3A4 genes. The constructed GS-3A4-HepG2 cell line showed 3A4 activity higher than that of human primary hepatocytes. The drug-metabolizing activity of BAL (BAL clearance) was evaluated using this cell line. The estimated clearance was higher than that of the human hepatocyte system. 相似文献

The effects of barbiturates on 24-h intakes of water and food and urinary excretion of sodium and potassium as well as on plasma concentration of sodium and potassium and osmolality were examined in dogs placed in metabolism cages and fed with a semiliquid diet. Administration of barbiturates stimulated drinking in a Series of 8 dogs having free access to water. Twenty four-h water intake and water balance increased significantly. Food intake, urinary output and urinary excretion of solutes, sodium and water did not change in this Series. A significant decrease in urine output as well as in osmolal clearance and urinary excretion of sodium was observed in a Series of 7 dogs having water restricted for 24 h following administration of barbiturates. Water balance increased in this Series. The same restriction of water in the dogs which had not received barbiturates did not modify renal excretion of water and electrolytes. Plasma osmolality, sodium and potassium concentrations did not change in either Series of experiments. It is concluded that barbiturates induce positive water balance either by stimulation of drinking when water is freely available or by reduction in urine output when water is restricted. The results suggest that expansion of the body fluids following the increased water intake may abolish reduction in urine output and sodium excretion which otherwise occur after administration of barbiturates. 相似文献

The liver, a major organ for drug metabolism, is physiologically similar between monkeys and humans. However, the paucity of identified genes has hampered a deep understanding of drug metabolism in monkeys. To provide such a genetic resource, 28655 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated from a cynomolgus monkey liver full-length enriched cDNA library, which contained 23 unique ESTs homologous to human drug-metabolizing enzymes. Our comparative genomics approach identified nine lineage-specific candidate ESTs, including three drug-metabolizing enzymes, which could be important for understanding the physiological differences between monkeys and humans. 相似文献

Dietary taurine amplified the induction of cytochrome P-450 and the urinary excretion of ascorbic acid in rats fed on phenobarbital (PB)-containing diets. These facts suggest that taurine could influence the hepatic metabolism of xenobiotics via the induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DME) and the ascorbic acid metabolism. Taurine might improve the function of DME exposed by some xenobiotics. 相似文献

The effect of nitrazepam on ventilatory capacity and arterial blood gas tensions was studied in a double-blind controlled crossover trial in six patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis in ventilatory failure (raised Paco2). Nitrazepam produced a fall in ventilatory capacity and worsening of the ventilatory failure. In the sixth patient, while on the active drug, the Pao2 fell from 48 to 35 mm Hg while the Paco2 tension rose from 59·5 to 68 mm Hg. It is suggested that nitrazepam is contraindicated in patients with severe chronic obstructive bronchitis. 相似文献

A study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between nitroreduction of nitrazepam and its teratogenic effects and the involvement of the intestinal microflora in Sprague-Dawley rats. Incubation of bacterial suspensions from rat cecal contents with nitrazepam resulted in extensive reduction to 7-aminonitrazepam. Rat liver homogenates also reduced nitrazepam but only under anaerobic conditions. Following oral administration of 300 mg/kg nitrazepam to pregnant rats, total excretion of reduced metabolites (7-aminonitrazepam and 7-acetylaminonitrazepam) in urine and feces accounted for approximately 30% of the administered dose. When antibiotics were administered to dams to deplete their intestinal microflora prior to administration to nitrazepam, the total excretion of the reduced metabolites in the urine and feces decreased to 2% of the dose. Nitroreductase activity of cecal contents was almost completely suppressed by antibiotic pretreatment, but the activity of liver homogenates was not significantly altered by the same treatment. The incidence of nitrazepam-induced malformations was markedly decreased by antibiotic pretreatment. These results suggest that the intestinal microflora plays an important role in the reductive metabolism of nitrazepam and that the teratogenicity of nitrazepam may be related to its nitroreduction by the microflora. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is a major drug-metabolizing enzyme that represents 20% of the hepatic CYPs and is responsible for the metabolism of 15% of drugs. A general concern in drug discovery is to avoid the inhibition of CYP leading to toxic drug accumulation and adverse drug–drug interactions. However, the prediction of CYP inhibition remains challenging due to its complexity. We developed an original machine learning approach for the prediction of drug-like molecules inhibiting CYP2C9. We created new predictive models by integrating CYP2C9 protein structure and dynamics knowledge, an original selection of physicochemical properties of CYP2C9 inhibitors, and machine learning modeling. We tested the machine learning models on publicly available data and demonstrated that our models successfully predicted CYP2C9 inhibitors with an accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of approximately 80%. We experimentally validated the developed approach and provided the first identification of the drugs vatalanib, piriqualone, ticagrelor and cloperidone as strong inhibitors of CYP2C9 with IC values <18 μM and sertindole, asapiprant, duvelisib and dasatinib as moderate inhibitors with IC50 values between 40 and 85 μM. Vatalanib was identified as the strongest inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.067 μM. Metabolism assays allowed the characterization of specific metabolites of abemaciclib, cloperidone, vatalanib and tarafenacin produced by CYP2C9. The obtained results demonstrate that such a strategy could improve the prediction of drug-drug interactions in clinical practice and could be utilized to prioritize drug candidates in drug discovery pipelines. 相似文献

The hypnotic and residual sedative effects of the first and seventh of seven regular night-time doses of nitrazepam 5 mg, temazepam 20 mg, and placebo were studied in 58 elderly inpatients. Plasma temazepam and nitrazepam concentrations rose by about 50% and 113% respectively between the mornings of day 1 and day 7. Patients reported sleeping well more often after the first dose of either hypnotic (p less than 0.05), but there was no difference after the seventh dose. Reaction time was unchanged on the morning after the first dose but was significantly prolonged after the seventh dose of both hypnotics (p less than 0.01). The time taken to eliminate the letter E from a page of prose tended to be prolonged after the first dose of both drugs (temazepam v placebo, p less than 0.05; nitrazepam v placebo, not significant) and was further prolonged on the morning after the seventh dose of nitrazepam (nitrazepam v placebo, p less than 0.05). Thus plasma accumulation of the drug was associated with a deterioration in daytime performance. This change in performance did not correlate with age, cerebral blood flow, or plasma concentration, but patients of low intelligence tended to be more severely affected. 相似文献

The present study was designed to prepare and characterize subcellular fractions from the intestinal mucosa of the Northern pike (Esox lucius), with special emphasis on the preparation of a microsomal fraction suitable for studying xenobiotic metabolism. The purity of the different fractions obtained by differential centrifugation, as well as the recovery of different organelles, was determined using both enzyme markers and morphological examination with the electron microscope. The subcellular distributions of several enzymes involved in drug metabolism (NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-ferricyanide reductase, epoxide hydrolase activity towards both cis- and trans-stilbene oxide as substrates, and glutathione transferase) were also examined. The subcellular distributions obtained here for drug-metabolizing and marker enzymes closely resembled those reported for rat and pike liver. The microsomal fraction obtained contained about 50% of the total endoplasmic reticulum. This fraction was relatively free of nuclei, mitochondria, Golgi, peroxisomes and cytosol, but relatively heavily contaminated with lysosomes and fragments of the plasma membrane. Within the limitations discussed, the subfractions prepared here are suitable for further characterization of drug-metabolizing systems in the intestinal mucosa of the Northern pike, as well as for other studies with this tissue. 相似文献
