Role of aniline metabolites in aniline-induced hemolytic anemia

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
J H Harrison, David J Jollow

Abstract

Hemolytic anemia after aniline and aniline-related drugs such as dapsone and primaquine is thought to be mediated by active/reactive metabolite(s) formed during the hepatic clearance of the parent compounds. To determine whether any of the known metabolites of aniline contribute to the hemolytic response seen in rats given aniline, rats were infused with isologous 51Cr-labeled erythrocytes 24 hr before administration of aniline or aniline metabolites. The time course of blood radioactivity was followed in individual rats by serial sampling from the orbital sinus and the time required for blood radioactivity to fall by 50% (T50Cr) was used as a measure of in vivo erythrocyte survival. Aniline HCl produced a dose-dependent reduction in the T50Cr. Acetanilide also reduced the T50Cr, but was less potent than aniline. Aminophenols (2-, 3- and 4-) in similar doses did not significantly alter the T50Cr. In contrast, phenylhydroxylamine produced a dose-dependent decrease in the T50Cr with approximately 10 times the potency of aniline. The T50Cr was also decreased in a concentration-dependent manner for labeled erythrocytes incubated in vitro with phenylhydroxylamine, then readministered to rats, indicating a direct toxic effect of phen...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
