Sodium nitroprusside has leishmanicidal activity independent of iNOS.
INTRODUCTION Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania . Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form, with millions of new cases worldwide each year. Treatments are ineffective due to the toxicity of existing drugs and the resistance acquired by certain strains of the parasite. METHODS We evaluated the activity of sodium nitroprusside in macrophages in...
متن کاملSodium Nitroprusside Injection
Except when used briefly or at low (< 2 mcg/kg/min) infus ion rates , sodium nitropruss ide gives rise to important quantities of cyanide ion, which can reach toxic, potentially lethal levels (see WARNINGS). The usual dose rate is 0.5 to 10 mcg/kg/min, but infus ion at the maximum dose rate should never las t more than 10 minutes . If blood pressure has not been adequately controlled after 10 m...
متن کاملDeliberately Lowering Blood Pressure with Sodium Nitroprusside
The goal of hyptensive anesthesia is the safe reduction of intraoperative blood loss, thus reducing transfusion risks. Previous hypotensive technics had a narrow margin of safety in that cardiac output was usually reduced in proportion to the degree of induced hypotension. This is in contrast to the results of our study, in which Sodium Nitroprusside was used as the sole hypotensive agent. Ni...
متن کاملSodium nitroprusside: theory and practice.
Sodium nitroprusside, by a peripheral vasodilator action, is a powerful hypotensive drug. In contrast to established agents, its hypotensive action is accompanied by an unchanged or augmented cardiac output. Intravenous administration of sodium nitroprusside rapidly produces a profound and controllable hypotension. Normotension is swiftly restored by ceasing to infuse the agent, and antidotes a...
متن کاملSodium nitroprusside and salicylic acid decrease antioxidant enzymes activity in soybean
The present study investigated the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on germination and activity of antioxidant enzymes in soybean under oxidative stress using a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. Treatments included SA (0 and 1 mM), SNP (0, 30, and 60 µM), and H2O2 (0, 50, and 100 µM). Results sho...
