    NDA 21-443 Package Insert ENJUVIA™ (synthetic conjugated estrogens, B) Tablets Rx only ESTROGENS INCREASE THE RISK OF ENDOMETRIAL CANCER Close clinical surveillance of all women taking estrogens is important. Adequate diagnostic measures, including endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. There is no evidence that the use of “natural” estrogens results in a different endometrial risk profile than synthetic estrogens at equivalent estrogen doses. (See WARNINGS, Malignant neoplasms, Endometrial cancer.) CARDIOVASCULAR AND OTHER RISKS Estrogens with or without progestins should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. (See WARNINGS, Cardiovascular disorders.) The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study reported increased risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary emboli, and deep vein thrombosis in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age) during 5 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA 2.5 mg) relative to placebo. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies). The Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a substudy of WHI, reported increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older during 4 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate relative to placebo. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women or to women taking estrogen alone therapy. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies.) Other doses of oral conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate, and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and progestins were not studied in the WHI clinical trials and, in the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar.

  • Hypothalamic Principles Necessary for the Release of Ovulating Hormone from the Adenohypophysis
    EFFECT OF AMINOGLUTETHIMIDE ON REPRODUCTIVE PROCESSES IN FEMALE RATS W. J. EVERSOLE and D. J. THOMPSON Department of Life Sciences, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, Indiana 47809, U.S.A. (Received "òlst January 1974) Summary. Adult female rats injected subcutaneously with 100 mg aminoglutethimide phosphate (AGP)/kg/day for 4 weeks failed to become pregnant when placed in cohabitation with males during the last 2 weeks of the injection period. Lower doses depressed the fertility rate and reduced the litter size: the average litter size of three of eleven rats given 50 mg/kg/day was 4\m=.\7 young and of four of eleven rats given 25 mg was 7\m=.\0 young. Twenty-nine controls averaged 10\m=.\1/litter. Doses of 100 mg AGP/kg/day stopped vaginal cycling, prevented ovulation in adults, and delayed dissolution of the vaginal membrane in pubertal rats. Histological studies of the ovaries from rats with initial ages of 17 or 21 days which were injected with 25 to 100 mg AGP/kg/day for 2 weeks showed an increase in the number and size of vesicular follicles. Treatment of 27-day-old rats with 25 mg/kg/day for 2 weeks reduced the number of CL and three of four rats given 50 mg had ovaries lacking such bodies; all control ovaries in this group contained CL. These findings are taken as evidence that AGP inhibits ovulation but does not prevent follicular maturation. INTRODUCTION Many pharmacological compounds originally developed as anaesthetics, tranquillizers and anticonvulsants modify endocrine structures and functions (see Gaunt, Chart & Renzi, 1965).

  • Mechanisms of Action of Antiepileptic Drugs
    Review Mechanisms of action of antiepileptic drugs Epilepsy affects up to 1% of the general population and causes substantial disability. The management of seizures in patients with epilepsy relies heavily on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproic acid have been the primary medications used to treat epilepsy for several decades. Since 1993 several AEDs have been approved by the US FDA for use in epilepsy. The choice of the AED is based primarily on the seizure type, spectrum of clinical activity, side effect profile and patient characteristics such as age, comorbidities and concurrent medical treatments. Those AEDs with broad- spectrum activity are often found to exert an action at more than one molecular target. This article will review the proposed mechanisms of action of marketed AEDs in the US and discuss the future of AEDs in development. 1 KEYWORDS: AEDs anticonvulsant drugs antiepileptic drugs epilepsy Aaron M Cook mechanism of action seizures & Meriem K Bensalem-Owen† The therapeutic armamentarium for the treat- patients with refractory seizures.

  • Japanese Flavoring Agents As Food Additives
    Japanese Flavoring Agents as Food Additives In Japan, synthetic flavoring agents are allowed to be used only when they are designated by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare as food additives under the Japanese Food Sanitation Act. Currently, we have identified 170 chemical substances which are commonly used as flavorings as shown in Table 1. Table 2 lists 18 groups which are also from the official list of “designated additives” and contain 3004 additional flavor materials. Each of the 18 groups in Table 2 contains substances that are similar in chemical structure.

  • Impact of Wort Amino Acids on Beer Flavour: a Review
    fermentation Review Impact of Wort Amino Acids on Beer Flavour: A Review Inês M. Ferreira and Luís F. Guido * LAQV/REQUIMTE, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, 687, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal; ines.fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351-220-402-644 Received: 3 March 2018; Accepted: 25 March 2018; Published: 28 March 2018 Abstract: The process by which beer is brewed has not changed significantly since its discovery thousands of years ago. Grain is malted, dried, crushed and mixed with hot water to produce wort. Yeast is added to the sweet, viscous wort, after which fermentation occurs. The biochemical events that occur during fermentation reflect the genotype of the yeast strain used, and its phenotypic expression is influenced by the composition of the wort and the conditions established in the fermenting vessel. Although wort is complex and not completely characterized, its content in amino acids indubitably affects the production of some minor metabolic products of fermentation which contribute to the flavour of beer. These metabolic products include higher alcohols, esters, carbonyls and sulfur-containing compounds. The formation of these products is comprehensively reviewed in this paper. Furthermore, the role of amino acids in the beer flavour, in particular their relationships with flavour active compounds, is discussed in light of recent data. Keywords: amino acids; beer; flavour; higher alcohols; esters; Vicinal Diketones (VDK); sulfur compounds 1. Introduction The process by which beer has been brewed has not changed significantly since its discovery over 2000 years ago. Although industrial equipment is used for modern commercial brewing, the principles are the same.

  • Steroid Metabolites Support Evidence of Autism As a Spectrum

Increased evidence of the involvement of steroid metabolites has been shown by the presence of stronger alterations in Kanner’s syndrome compared with Asperger syndrome. Methods: 24 h urine samples were collected from 20 boys with Asperger syndrome, 21 boys with Kanner’s syndrome, and identically sized control groups, each matched for age, weight, and height for comprehensive steroid hormone metabolite analysis via gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Results: Higher levels of most steroid metabolites were detected in boys with Kanner’s syndrome and Asperger syndrome compared to their matched controls. These differences were more pronounced in affected individuals with Kanner’s syndrome versus Asperger syndrome. Furthermore, a specific and unique pattern of alteration of androsterone, etiocholanolone, progesterone, tetrahydrocortisone, and tetrahydrocortisol was identified in boys with Kanner’s syndrome and Asperger syndrome. Interestingly, in both matched samples, only androsterone, etiocholanolone, progesterone, tetrahydrocortisone, tetrahydrocortisol, and 5a-tetrahydrocortisol groups were positively correlated.
