hydroxylamine/fever

Labeling experiments with [3H]palmitic and [3H]myristic acids of African swine fever virus-infected Vero cells have shown that 11 proteins induced during infection are covalently bound to myristic acid and that palmitic acid was not attached to viral proteins. The time course of synthesis of the

Hypersensitivity adverse drug reactions, characterized by fever and multi-organ involvement, are the most severe adverse reactions to sulphonamides. Although there is evidence that these reactions are initiated by metabolic events, these reactions appear to be propagated on an immune basis. We

One of the major physiologic functions of erythrocytes is the mediation of chloride-bicarbonate exchange in the transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. The anion exchange is mediated by a typical polytopic transmembrane protein in the cell membrane, designated Band 3. A

1. Fever was induced in rabbits by administration of Escherichia coli endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS; 0.001-10 micrograms) into the organum vasculosum laminae terminalis (OVLT). Deep body temperature was evaluated over a period of 7 h. 2. The LPS-induced febrile response was mimicked by

The production of endogenous pyrogen by intact granulocytes obtained from acute peritoneal exudates is blocked by arsenite, iodoacetate, p-chloromercuribenzoate, and N-ethylmaleimide in concentrations of 2 x 10(-4)M. When the concentration of these sulfhydryl-reactive enzyme inhibitors is increased

Aging and pathophysiological conditions are linked to membrane changes which modulate membrane-controlled molecular switches, causing dysregulated heat shock protein (HSP) expression. HSP co-inducer hydroxylamines such as BGP-15 provide advanced therapeutic candidates for many diseases since they

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) causes rare hypersensitivity syndrome reactions characterized by fever and multi-organ toxicity. Covalent binding of SMX reactive metabolites to cellular proteins has been demonstrated but the link between cytotoxicity and targets of covalent binding has not been explored. We

Drug reactions in patients with HIV infection, e.g. fever or rash, are a frequently occurring clinical problem. These side effects particularly are observed with sulfonamides; however, many other drugs have also shown to induce allergic reactions when given to patients with HIV infection. The

Since the discovery of polymorphic N-acetylation of drugs nearly 40 years ago, great progress has been made in understanding the molecular genetics of acetylation as well as the clinical consequences of being a rapid or slow acetylator. Inborn errors (several different alleles) at the NAT2 locus are

Dantrolene is used for malignant hyperthermia during anesthesia, and it sometimes causes severe liver injury as a side effect. Dantrolene is metabolized to acetylaminodantrolene, which is formed via the reduction of dantrolene to aminodantrolene and subsequent acetylation. Formation of hydroxylamine

BACKGROUND The phosphate ester PR-104 is rapidly converted in vivo to the alcohol PR-104A, a nitrogen mustard prodrug that is metabolised to hydroxylamine (PR-104H) and amine (PR-104M) DNA crosslinking agents by one-electron reductases in hypoxic cells and by aldo-keto reductase 1C3 independently of

BACKGROUND The purpose of this phase Ib clinical trial was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PR-104 a bioreductive pre-prodrug given in combination with gemcitabine or docetaxel in patients with advanced solid tumours. METHODS PR-104 was administered as a one-hour intravenous infusion

Sulphonamide idiosyncratic toxicosis has been reported in 28 dogs. Non-septic polyarthritis and fever occurring after 8 to 21 days therapy was the most common manifestation. Of 22 dogs with this syndrome, 7 were Doberman Pinschers. In humans, inherited decreased ability to detoxify sulphonamide
