The metabolic shift induced by hypoxia in cancer cells has not been explored at volatilomic level so far. The volatile organic metabolites (VOMs) constitute an important part of the metabolome and their investigation could provide us crucial aspects of hypoxia driven metabolic BACKGROUND
Formic acid decomposes upon contact with strong acids producing carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide poisoning from such a source, however, is extremely rare.
METHODS
A 26-year-old man committed suicide by mixing 2.5 L of formic acid and 2.5 L of sulfuric acid in three beakers and staying in
Metabolism of methanol, methyl ethers, esters and amides give rise to formic acid. This acid is an inhibitor of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase causing histotoxic hypoxia. Formic acid is a weaker inhibitor than cyanide and hydrosulphide anions. The body burden of formate in methanol poisoning
PR-104 is a dinitrobenzamide mustard currently in clinical trial as a hypoxia-activated prodrug. It is converted systemically to the corresponding alcohol, PR-104A, which is activated by nitroreduction to the hydroxylamine (PR-104H) and amine (PR-104M). PR-104A is also metabolised to the
The methanol poisoning by oral intake or skin contact occurs occasionally, which may have serious consequences including blindness and/or death. Methanol and its metabolites, formaldehyde and formic acid, are associated with metabolic acidosis, visual dysfunction and neurological symptoms. At
Neurounina-1 [chemical name: 7-nitro-5-phenyl-1-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-2(3H)-one] is a new compound provided with relevant neuroprotective effect during stroke and in neonatal hypoxia by increasing the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) isoforms NCX1 and NCX2
SH-1242, a novel inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), is a synthetic analog of deguelin: It was previously reported that the treatment of SH-1242 led to a strong suppression of hypoxia-mediated retinal neovascularization and vascular leakage in diabetic retinas by inhibiting the
Acute methanol poisoning is mainly the consequence of voluntary or accidental ingestion. The mortality and morbidity rates remain very high despite intensive care therapy. Methanol by itself is poorly toxic. Methanol is transformed in the liver into formaldehyde and thereafter formic acid. Metabolic
6-O-demethylmenisporphine, a major active oxoisoaporphine alkaloid isolated from Menispermi Rhizoma, has been confirmed to possess significant bioactivities, including anti-cancer and anti-hypoxia effects. However, few researches on quantifying 6-O-demethylmenisporphine in biosamples have been
This article presents newly developed screening and confirmation analytical procedures to detect the misuse of nine prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitors of the hypoxia-inducible factor: daprodustat, desidustat, FG2216, IOX2, IOX4, JNJ-42041935, molidustat, roxadustat and vadadustat, targeting either the
In order to investigate the pharmacokinetics of a combination of diazepam and dexamethasone under hypoxic conditions, a novel, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of diazepam and dexamethasone in rat plasma
Methanol intoxication is an uncommon but serious poisoning. Its adverse effects are due primarily to the impact of its major metabolite formic acid and lactic acid resulting from cellular hypoxia. Symptoms including abdominal pain and loss of vision can appear a few hours to a few days after
BACKGROUND
The inhalation of carbon monoxide produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon remains a popular method of suicide. A much less common method of producing carbon monoxide for suicide is by mixing formic and sulfuric acids.
METHODS
We describe a patient who attempted suicide by mixing
