چکیده

In a case of quinine-induced agranulocytosis marrow culture studies confirmed the inhibitory effect on the patient's cells of equivalent therapeutic plasma concentrations of quinine. Similar concentrations had no effect on normal marrow cells. Quinidine, the stereoisomer of quinine, had no effect on either cells from the patient or normal cells. The results encourage the use of in-vitro bone marrow cultures for identifying drugs responsible for agranulocytosis.

Amodiaquine induced agranulocytosis: inhibition of colony growth in bone marrow by antimalarial agents.

Bone marrow was cultured in vitro for colonies of granulocytes and macrophages five months after a patient had recovered from amodiaquine induced agranulocytosis. The addition of amodiaquine, chloroquine, and sulfadoxine to the culture was followed by a dose dependent inhibition of colony growth in the patient's marrow but not in normal control bone marrow. Colony growth was, however, unaffecte...

Amodiaquine-induced agranulocytosis: toxic effect of amodiaquine in bone marrow cultures in vitro.

A case of agranulocytosis is reported in which amodiaquine, to which the patient had been exposed, was found to be toxic to the patient's bone marrow cells when these were cultured in an agar colony system in vitro. This technique should be investigated in other patients with agranulocytosis as a possible means of detecting toxic agents.

Pyrroloquinoline Quinine Inhibits RANKL-Mediated Expression of NFATc1 in Part via Suppression of c-Fos in Mouse Bone Marrow Cells and Inhibits Wear Particle-Induced Osteolysis in Mice

The effects of pyrroloquinoline quinine (PQQ) on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and on wear particle-induced osteolysis were examined in this study. PQQ inhibited RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in a dose-dependent manner without any evidence of cytotoxicity. The mRNA expression of c-Fos, NFATc1, and TRAP in RANKL-treated BMMs was inhibited ...

In vitro effect of clozapine on hemopoietic progenitor cells.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Clozapine is a diabenzodiazepine derivative characterized by a high therapeutic index in schizophrenic patients resistant to traditional neuroleptic drugs, because of the rarity of any extrapyramidal side effects, and its particular hematologic toxicity. According to the international literature, clozapine-induced neutropenia occurs mainly during the first 4-6 months of...

The fluorescence Quenching Study of Quinine in Presence of Some Anions

The quenching of quinine fluorescence intensity in the presence of some anions in aqueous solution at ambient temperature has been investigated. The quenching is found to be collisional or dynamical in nature. This study reveals the order of two groups of quencher: NaI > NaBr > NaCl > NaF and K2Cr2O7 > KMnO4 >Na2SO4 > NaClO3. Increasing anion size in the both groups leads to an  increase in the...
