Abstract Medications that inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase when coadministered with alcohol produce accumulation of acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde toxic effects are characterized by facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia and hypotension, symptoms known as acetaldehyde syndrome, disulfiram-like reactions or antabuse effects. Severe and even fatal outcomes are reported. Besides the aversive drugs used in alcohol dependence disulfiram and cyanamide (carbimide), several other pharmaceutical agents are known to produce alcohol intolerance, such as certain anti-infectives, as cephalosporins, nitroimidazoles and furazolidone, dermatological preparations, as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, as well as chlorpropamide and nilutamide. The reactions are also observed in some individuals after the simultaneous use of products containing alcohol and disulfiram-like reactions inducers.

  • Potentiated Effect of Ethanol on Amanita Phalloides Poisoning

(1994): Potentiated effect of ethanol on Amanita phalloides poisoning. Czech Mycol. 47: 145-150 Interaction of the effects of death cap and ethanol in rats was studied. Ethanol was found to have no protective effect during poisoning by Amanita phalloides. In contrast, it burdened hepatocytes with its own detoxification and made the absorption of the fungal toxins easier due to a changed membrane fluidity. Besides, et hanol was responsible for an increased deimage to the cellular membranes by free radicals that originated in its metabolism. The potentiated effects of the two noxae is thus defined. Our results suggest that the intoxication by A. phalloides parallelled by digestion of a small dose of an alcoholic drink will have a more serious course and worse prognosis.

  • Suppression of Acetaldehyde Accumulation by 4-Methyl Pyrazole in Alcohol-Hypersensitive Japanese
    Suppression of Acetaldehyde Accumulation by 4-Methyl pyrazole in Alcohol-Hypersensitive Japanese *Kazuyoshi INOUE , Yoshio KERA, Takayuki KIRIYAMA and Setsuo KO M U RA Department of Legal Medicine, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto 602, Japan *Department of Pharmacology , National Institute of Hygienic Sciences, Osaka Branch, Osaka 540, Japan Accepted February 1, 1985 Abstract-Alcohol-sensitive Japanese subjects with facial flushing and an increase in heart rate during ethanol intoxication exhibited marked individual variation in accumulation of acetaldehyde. This variation correlated well with the intensity of the above mentioned physiological responses. Oral pretreatment with 10 mg/kg 4-methylpyrazole, which inhibited the ethanol elimination rate by 15-25%, strongly suppressed both acetaldehyde accumulation and the associated responses. Under this condition, the sensitivity to acetaldehyde appeared to be reduced, and the correlation between the acetaldehyde level and the physiological responses disap peared. The effectiveness of even a low dose of 4-methylpyrazole suggests its clinical usefulness for alleviation of acute acetaldehyde toxicity in alcohol hypersensitive Japanese individuals as well as in disulfiram-treated alcoholics. A large number of studies have demon Another possible case for AcH accumu strated the importance of acetaldehyde lation during ethanol intoxication is the (AcH), the first metabolite of ethanol, in acceleration of ethanol oxidation (11 ) ob mediating physiological responses during served in alcoholics (12).

What’s in that Drink: The Biological Actions of Ethanol, Acetaldehyde, and Salsolinol Gerald A. Deehan Jr.1, Mark S. Brodie2, and Zachary A. Rodd1 1 Institute of Psychiatric Research, Department of Psychiatry, Indiana University: School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN USA 2 Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL USA Abstract Alcohol abuse and alcoholism represent substantial problems that affect a large portion of individuals throughout the world. Extensive research continues to be conducted in an effort to identify the biological basis of the reinforcing properties of alcohol in order to develop effective pharmacotherapeutic and behavioral interventions. One theory that has developed within the alcohol field over the past 4 decades postulates that the reinforcing properties of alcohol are due to the action of the metabolites/products of alcohol within the central nervous system (CNS). The most extreme version of this theory suggests that the biologically active metabolites/products of alcohol, created from the breakdown from alcohol, are the ultimate source of the reinforcing properties of alcohol. The contrary theory proposes that the reinforcing properties of alcohol are mediated completely through the interaction of the ethanol molecule with several neurochemical systems within the CNS. While there are scientific findings that offer support for both of these stances, the reinforcing properties of alcohol are most likely generated through a complex series of peripheral and central effects of both alcohol and its metabolites.

  • Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This w u produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent p8ges. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning Is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Clinical Approach to Toxic Mushroom Ingestion
    J Am Board Fam Pract: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.7.1.31 on 1 January 1994. Downloaded from Clinical Approach To Toxic Mushroom Ingestion James R. Blackman, MD Bacllground: This review provides the physician with a clinical approach to the diagnosis and management of toxic mushroom ingestion. It reviews the recent literature concerning proper management of seven clinical profiles. Methods: Using the key words "mushroom poisoning," "mushroom toxicology," "mycetism," "hallucinogenic mushroom ingestion," and "Amanita poisoning," the MEDUNE files were searched for articles pertinent to the practicing physician. Much of the original data were gathered at the Aspen Mushroom Conference held each summer throughout the 19708 at Aspen, Colorado, sponsored by Beth Israel Hospital and the Rocky Mountain Poison Center. Texts related to poisonous plants and specific writings concerning mushroom poisoning were also consulted; many of these texts are now out of print Results tmtl Conclusions: The 100 or so toxic mushroom groups can be divided into seven clinical profiles, each of which requires a speciftc clinical approach. Two of the seven groups (amanitin and gyromitrin) have a delay in onset of symptoms of up to 6 hours following ingestion and provide essentially all the major mobility and mortality associated with toxic mushroom ingestion. These two groups are the major focus of this review. Treatment of the potential mushroom ingestion, as well as guidelines for asking clinical questions, are included. These questions serve as a form of algorithm to assist the clinician in arriving at the correct toxic group. (J Am Board Fam Pract 1994; 7:31-7.)

Ferreira; e-mail: [email protected]; telephone +351-273-303219; fax +351-273-325405). 1 Abstract Coprinopsis atramentaria is a wild edible mushroom whose methanolic extract revealed a marked antioxidant activity; p-hydroxybenzoic (HA), p-coumaric (CoA) and cinnamic (CA) acids were identified in the extract. In the present work, it was evaluated the cytotoxicity of C. atramentaria extract, previously identified organic acids and their synthesized derivatives (methylated compounds and protected glucuronides). Among all the tested cell lines (MCF-7- breast adenocarcinoma, NCI-H460- non-small cell lung carcinoma, HCT15- colon carcinoma, HeLa- cervical carcinoma and HepG2- hepatocellular carcinoma), the extract presented good activity for the first three cell lines mentioned; in most of the cases methylated and glucuronide derivatives showed a higher activity than the corresponding parental compounds. The substitution of the carboxylic group (in parental organic acids) for an ester (in methylated derivatives) increased the cytotoxicity for tumor cell lines. Acetylated glucuronide derivatives showed higher cytotoxicity when compared with the corresponding parental acids.
