While Cisplatin was found to be effective in treating pseudomyxoma, its side effects, particularly on the kidneys, were very strong. Recently a "two channel therapy", in which it is used along with sodiumthiosulfate, has been reported to minimize the side effects. The authors used nude mice with
A dual-cavity basket 16-, holding six γ-aminobutyric acids at its termini, encapsulates variously sized aromatics 2-7+, including four anthracyclines (8+-11+), driven by the hydrophobic effect and hydrogen bonding (HB). In particular, the formation of stable (K = 1012 M-2) anthracycline complexes
BACKGROUND
The natural polyether ionophorous antibiotics are used for the treatment of coccidiosis in poultry and ruminants. They are effective agents against infections caused by Gram-positive microorganisms. On the other hand, it was found that some of these compounds selectively bind lead(II)
In 1942, 53% of medically treated patients with cirrhosis were dead 6 months after the onset of ascites. Only 30% survived 1 year. This dismal outlook has improved only slightly with advances in medicine. Yet, some internists reject the peritoneovenous shunt (PVS) for this fatal condition even if
Rivastigmine is a non-competitive reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase which is approved as one of the fi rst-line treatment options for Alzheimer's disease. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with acute cholinergic syndrome secondary to deliberate rivastigmine poisoning. The patient
Swine, fed with fodder containing 8%-16% rape-seed meal, took 919.42-1416.02 mg of thioglucoside (glucosinolate) daily. After being fed with it for 120 consecutive days, swine's thyroid enlarged and their thyroid follicles and epithelial cells were prominently hyperplastic, lacking secretory
The therapeutic effects of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy administered by two-route infusion of cisplatin and its antidote, sodium thiosulfate, and intravenous infusion of vinblastine and peplomycin were studied in 22 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity or
Cantharidin is a toxin extracted from coleoptera beetles, commonly known as 'Spanish fly'. Traditionally it was used as an aphrodisiac, a vesicant or as an abortifacient. Intoxication by this substance has been widely reported, generally associated with gastrointestinal complications, such as
Beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins are toxic ionophoric cyclodepsipeptides that mainly occur in grains. As such, their presence in food commodities poses a concern for public health. To date, despite recent European Food Safety Authority emphasis on the need for more data to evaluate long-term toxicity
A 15 year old Oldenburger gelding was treated during 3 weeks for laminitis with the anticoagulant phenprocoumone (27 mg orally, once daily) and concurrent administration of phenylbutazone (2-4 g orally, twice daily). After this treatment the animal was presented to the Equine Clinic University of
One hundred cases of intracorporeal concealment of narcotic drugs were observed over a 6-month period at the medico-judicial emergency centre of the Hotel-Dieu hospital, Paris. Twelve cases concerned dealers who had ingested packs at the time they were arrested. The other subjects had been carrying
BACKGROUND
The barks of Acacia leucophloea (Fabaceae) are used in Pakistan traditional medicine as an astringent, a bitter, a thermogenic, a styptic, a preventive of infections, an anthelmintic, a vulnery, a demulcent, an expectorant, an antipyretic, an antidote for snake bites and in the treatment
The pharmacokinetics of i.p.- and i.v.-infused cis-platinum (55 mg/m2) was studied in five patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The area under the concentration time (AUC) of non-protein-binding platinum in ascites had on anti-tumor activity 44 times larger with i.p. infusion than that with i.v.
Demand for bean products is growing because of the presence of several health-promoting components in edible bean products such as saponins. Saponins are naturally occurring compounds that are widely distributed in all cells of legume plants. Saponins, which derive their name from their ability to
