نویسندگان
چکیده
Since Schmid & Schwartz (1952) described an experimental hepatic porphyria induced in rabbits by Sedormid (2-isopropylpent-4-enoylurea), several drugs chemically related to Sedormid (Goldberg & Rimington, 1955; Stich & Decker, 1955a, b; Talman, Labbe & Aldrich, 1957) and some barbiturates (Goldberg, 1954a) have been shown to cause excretion of both porphobilinogen and porphyrins in animals. Goldberg & Rimington (1955) and Rimington (1957) postulated that the following chemical structure was necessary to

Decreased liver activity of porphyrin-metal chelatase in hepatic porphyria caused by 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine. Studies in rats and mice.
1. A difference has been found between rats and mice in their sensitivity to the porphyrogenic effect of drugs. Mice are more sensitive than rats to 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine, but less sensitive than rats to 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide. 2. Use has been made of this difference in sensitivity to ascertain the importance of the decrease of liver porphyrin-metal chelatase activity ...
متن کاملEffect of drugs on heme synthesis in the liver.
Several substances have been shown to affect hepatic heme synthesis in the rat liver. Phenobarbital and the polycyclic hydrocarbon, 3,4-benzpyrene, produce an induction of aminolevulinic acid synthetase (ALAS), the enzyme mediating the first step in heme synthesis. This is followed sequentially by increased incorporation of glycine into microsomal heme, increased microsomal protoheme, cytochrom...
متن کاملResponse of glucose metabolism enzymes in an acute porphyria model. Role of reactive oxygen species.
Acute hepatic porphyrias are human metabolic diseases characterized by the accumulation of heme precursors, such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). The administration of glucose can prevent the symptomatology of these diseases. The aim of this work was to study the relationship between glucose metabolism disturbances and the development of experimental acute hepatic porphyria, as well as the role ...
متن کاملStimulation of Liver 5-Aminolaevulinate Synthetase by Drugs
The relevance of the stimulation of 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase to the accumulation of cytochrome P-450 after administration of drugs was examined in rats treated with phenylbutazone and with 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine. 3,5-Diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine alone stimulated 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase without increasing the concentration of cytochrome P-450, whereas pheny...
متن کاملMelatonin modulates drug-induced acute porphyria
This work investigated the modulation by melatonin (Mel) of the effects of the porphyrinogenic drugs 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide (AIA) and 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-collidine (DDC) on oxidative environment, glucose biosynthesis and heme pathway parameters. Administration of Mel before rat intoxication with AIA/DDC showed a clear beneficial effect in all cases. Mel induced decrease...
