We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) who was treated with adenine arabinoside (ara-A). The characteristic symptoms consisted of headache and vomiting followed by progressive disturbance of consciousness. CT scan revealed a translucent area in the left temporal
Six forms of reversible adverse reactions to adenine arabinoside (vidarabine) were observed in a two-year period among 42 patients (19 of whom had lymphomas, leukemias, or other malignancies) who were treated for complicated infections with varicella-zoster or herpes simplex virus. Six patients
OBJECTIVE
Gastroparesis is a complication of diabetes characterized by delayed emptying of stomach contents and accompanied by early satiety, nausea, vomiting, and pain. No safe and reliable treatments are available. Interleukin 10 (IL10) activates the M2 cytoprotective phenotype of macrophages and
A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was established to determine nucleosides in Rhizoma Pinelliae, which is a dried stem tuber of Pinellia pedatisecta Schott in Pinellia plant belonging to Araceae family and has multiple efficiencies about down-bear counterflow and check
Fludarabine is a synthetic adenine nucleoside analog that is indicated for first- and second-line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The recommended intravenous (i.v.) dosage regimen is 25 mg/m2 daily for 5 consecutive days, with treatment cycles repeated every 28 days. In
OBJECTIVE
To study the case of a 2 10/12-year-old boy who had growth failure and delayed bone maturation.
METHODS
We reviewed the history, which revealed that he had had polyuria, polydipsia, lack of weight gain, and frequent vomiting since the age of 5 months. On physical examination, his height
Deficiency of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, from the complete enzyme defect, the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome with severe neurological deficiency to the partial defect associated only with uric acid overproduction and its consequences. We
In inflammatory cells, intracellular cAMP concentration is regulated by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases 4. Therefore, PDE4 inhibition appears as a rational goal for treating acute or chronic inflammatory diseases. Selective PDE4 inhibitors have been developed, but due to unwanted side effects,
Introduction. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form of cerebrovascular disease, which may manifest clinically by a wide variety of signs and symptoms. It has been associated with multiple risk factors including genetic or acquired blood disorders, infections, and trauma. Case
Recently we reported the adenine derivatives (2-4) as new interferon (IFN) inducers. In the present study, we conducted a detailed structure and activity relationship study of 4 and its related derivatives on IFN inducing activity. From this study, we found that compound 4 exhibited the most potent
Two Korean siblings with partial hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency are reported. The index patient was a boy aged 9 years 10 months who developed acute renal failure with a serum uric acid level of 25.9 mg/dl, after vomiting. The younger brother was asymptomatic but
Recently we reported the adenine derivatives 3a-d as novel interferon (IFN) inducers. In the present study, we conducted a detailed structure-activity relationship study of analogues of 3a-d with respect to their IFN-inducing activity, mainly focusing on the N(9)-position of the adenine. From this
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the biologic interactions and toxicities of carboplatin combined with a 24-hour infusion of thymidine 75 mg/m(2) in a phase I trial.
METHODS
Thirty-two patients with cancer refractory to conventional therapy were treated. The first set of patients (n = 7) received thymidine
The new fluorinated adenine analog, fludarabine, has been tested for efficacy in many tumor types over the past ten years. Two other similar nucleoside analogs are currently available for commercial use. Cytarabine is used principally as an antileukemic agent, and vidarabine as an antiviral. Unlike
OBJECTIVE
Depletion of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) by inhibition of its synthesis is a new pharmacological principle for cancer treatment currently in early phases of clinical development. We present new and previously published data on the safety and efficacy of these drugs
