  • Zinc Toxicity in Odora Cells
    Zinc Toxicity in Odora Cells A thesis submitted to the University of Cincinnati Division of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Environmental Health of the College of Medicine by Heidi Hsieh A.B. Harvard University August 2011 Committee: Mary Beth Genter, Ph.D. (Chair) Hassane Amlal, Ph.D. Abstract Zinc has been touted as a panacea for the common cold. However, there has been some controversy over whether Zicam, an intranasal zinc gluconate gel purported to fight colds, causes anosmia, or the loss of the sense of smell. Historical evidence has shown that zinc sulfate solutions can cause anosmia in humans along with significant damage to the olfactory epithelium in rodents. However, more recent work has claimed to show that zinc gluconate is less toxic than zinc sulfate. Using an in vitro system to compare the toxicity of zinc sulfate and zinc gluconate on immature and mature rat olfactory sensory neurons, it was found that the toxicity of both zinc salts was similar with zinc sulfate being slightly more toxic than zinc gluconate and occurred at significantly lower concentrations than that found in Zicam nasal gel, which strengthens the epidemiological link between intranasal zinc exposure and anosmia. Mechanistic studies disproved the hypothesis that zinc toxicity was caused by inhibition of the HVCN1 proton channel which would have led to acidosis and apoptotic cell death. It was found that these immature rat olfactory sensory neurons are able to maintain their intracellular pH through a + + - - Na /H exchanger, specifically NHE1, and a Cl /HCO3 exchanger.

  • United States District Court Southern District of New York
    Case 7:15-cv-09843 Document 1 Filed 12/17/15 Page 1 of 32 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ALAN GULKIS, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT v. ZICAM LLC and MATRIXX INITIATIVES, JURY TRIAL DEMANDED INC. Defendants. Plaintiff Alan Gulkis (“Plaintiff”), by his attorneys, makes the following allegations pursuant to the investigation of his counsel and based upon information and belief, except as to allegations specifically pertaining to himself and his counsel, which are based on personal knowledge. NATURE OF ACTION 1. Defendants Zicam LLC and Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”) sell fake medicine to consumers seeking treatment for cold symptoms. Double-blind placebo- controlled trials show that Defendants’ “Zicam Pre-Cold Medicine” is nothing more than a placebo. Even though Defendants know that studies show that the “Pre-Cold Medicine” is no different than a placebo, Defendants represent that the “Pre-Cold Medicine” shortens and reduces the severity of cold symptoms, and that the “Pre-Cold Medicine” prevents full cold symptoms from occurring. Defendants have made millions of dollars selling dummy pills to New York residents. 2. Because Defendants’ Pre-Cold Medicine Products are mere placebos, Defendants’ representations that their Products shorten and reduce the severity of the common cold, as well as their representations that the Products stop full cold symptoms are false and misleading. The 1 Case 7:15-cv-09843 Document 1 Filed 12/17/15 Page 2 of 32 Pre-Cold Medicine includes Zicam Pre-Cold RapidMelts Original, Zicam Pre-Cold RapidMelts Ultra, Zicam Pre-Cold Oral Mist, Zicam Pre-Cold Ultra Crystals, Zicam Pre-Cold Lozenges, Zicam Pre-Cold Lozenges Ultra, and Zicam Pre-Cold Chewables (“Pre-Cold Medicine,” “Pre- Cold Products,” or “Products”).

Contrary to petitioners’ question presented, which asserts that this case concerns “a pharmaceutical company’s nondisclosure of adverse event reports even though the reports are not alleged to be statisti- cally significant,” this case does not involve “adverse event reports” required by the Food and Drug Administration.
