Plant cardiac glycosides and digoxin Fab antibody

The potential application of the Digoxin Fab antibody (Wellcome Digibind) in the clinical management of plant poisoning was investigated. The cardiac glycoside contents of various Australian plants were studied using immunoassay techniques. The cross-reactions of the Fab antibody and two digoxin assay antibodies against extracts of these plants were also studied. Results obtained indicated that the Digibind antibody cross-reacted with a wide range of glycosides contained in Australian plants and therefore could be of use in the treatment of life-threatening plant poisoning.     

Ovariectomy in the rat induces a rapid increase in the urinary excretion of hydroxylysine glycosides and non-reducible crosslink residues

The ovariectomized rat is the most commonly used animal model of human postmenopausal osteoporosis, exhibiting a high rate of bone turnover with resorption exceeding formation. At present, bone turnover is quantified directly by dynamic histomorphometry. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the measurement of the urinary output of some specific bone collagen catabolites — pyridinolines and hydroxylysine glycosides — could be used to indirectly monitor the initial phase of bone turnover increase in ovariectomized 90-day-old rats. Ninety-day-old female rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=6): ovariectomized, sham-operated and non-treated controls. Urine samples (24 h) were collected 6 days before surgery and twice weekly for the 4 weeks following ovariectomy. Urinary excretion of pyridinoline (PYD), deoxypyridinoline (DPD), glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GGHYL) and galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GHYL) were measured. As expected, ovariectomy was associated with a significant decrease in bone mineral density in both the proximal tibial and distal femoral metaphysis. Compared with both sham-operated and control animals, ovariectomized rats showed significant increases in PYD, GGHYL and GHYL urinary output 8 days after surgery and in DPD output after 15 days. These changes were maintained throughout the study. The results confirm that measurement of the urinary excretion of pyridinolines and hydroxylysine glycosides represents a powerful tool for detecting the onset of bone turnover in ovariectomized 90-day-old rats.

肉苁蓉总苷对阿霉素所致小鼠心肌毒性的保护作用

目的：探讨肉苁蓉总苷（GCs)对阿霉素（Dox)所致小鼠心肌损害的保护作用及其机制。方法：选用NIH小鼠一次腹腔注射Dox(17.5mg/kg)造成急性心肌损伤模型，测定心肌超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性；硒－谷胱苷肽过氧化物酶（Se-GSH-Px)活性；丙二醛（MDA）含量及血清肌酸磷酸激酶（CPK）活性。电镜检查心肌细胞超微结构的改变。结果：腹腔注射Dox 48h后可致小鼠心肌明显损害，心肌SOD及Se-GSH-Px活性下降，MDA含量升高，血清中CPK的活性增强，同时出现心肌组织超微结构的损伤。GCs(62.5、125.0、250.0mg/kg）能增加心肌SOD、Se-GSH-Px活性，降低MDA含量，减少CPK释放，减轻心肌超微结构的损伤。结论：肉苁蓉总苷对阿霉素所致心肌损害有一定的保护作用，其机制可能与其保护心肌SOD及Se-GSH-Px活性及其清除自由基，防止脂质过氧化有关。     

Reversal of toxic and non-toxic effects of digoxin by digoxin-specific fab fragments in isolated human ventricular myocardium

Summary The time course of the reversal of toxic and nontoxic effects of digoxin by digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) was measured in isolated human ventricular myocardium. A concentration of 2×10^–6 mol/l digoxin was used to produce positive inotropy followed by mechanical signs of toxicity. After addition of a 1.5-fold higher molar concentration of digoxin-specific Fab, signs of toxicity disappeared within 30 min and digoxin-induced force of contraction decayed with a monoexponential time course with a half-life of 52 min. This rate of decay was almost identical to that observed for the dissociation of the digoxin-(Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase complex in human heart cell membranes. It is concluded that (a) digoxin-specific Fab are capable of completely removing digoxin from its binding sites, (b) the maximal rate of removal of digitalis glycosides from the (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase is limited by the dissociation rate constant, and (c) there is a close correlation between the degree of binding of digitalis glycosides to the (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase and the increase in force of contraction.Abbreviation Fab Fragment antibody binding (digitalis antidote)     

In-vivo quantification of myocardial Na-K pump rate during β-adrenergic stimulation of intact pig hearts

Maintenance of adequate electrical activity of the heart depends critically on the ability of the Na-K pump to compensate for normal passive sodium and potassium fluxes. Using sudden injections of [³H]ouabain into the left coronary artery in anaesthetized open-chest pigs, we monitored transient changes in myocardial potassium balance by PVC-valinomycin mini-electrodes. When related to the number of pumps blocked and fractional inhibition, these data provided estimates of total Na-K pump capacity as well as actual pump rate and perturbations of the Na-K balance. Experiments were performed in hearts with and without intracoronary isoprenaline infusion (2.5 nmol min^-1). After injection of 120 nmol [³H]ouabain into the left coronary artery, myocardial [³H]ouabain concentrations were 118 (74–178) and 103 (76–145) pmol g^-1 and total concentrations of [³H]oubain binding sites were 893 (752–1076) and 785 (691–877) pmol g^-1 (median, 95% confidence interval) in isoprenaline-treated and control hearts respectively (differences not significant). The [³H]ouabain injection caused a net potassium release of 81 (56–132) and 43 (23–75) μcool 100 g^-1 (median, 95% confidence interval) in isoprenaline-treated and control hearts respectively (n= 6–8; significance of difference, P= 0.03). Na–K pump rate estimated from mono-exponential release curves was 6363 (3942–10,858) K⁺ ions min^-1 site^-1 during β-adrenoceptor stimulation and 2514 (1380–4322) in control (significance of difference, P= 0.03). This corresponds to 40 and 16%, respectively, of the maximum possible pump rate determined from ATP hydrolysis. Comparison of accumulated potassium release and relative Na-K pump rate indicates that catecholamines enhance the sensitivity of the Na-K pump for intracellular sodium.     

Serum digoxin concentration and half-life in newborns

Summary Serum digoxin concentration and half-life were radioimmunologically determined in 9 mature newborns after 7 days medication with digoxin. The newborns were in respiratory distress treated with continuous positive airway pressure or were suspected to have serious congenital heart disease. Loading dose was 26 µg/kg body weight intravenously and 35 µg/kg body weight orally, respectively. Maintenance dose corresponded to 1/8^th of the digitalization dose twice daily.The serum digoxin level 12 h after the last dose varied between 1.4 and 2.5 ng/ml (mean 2.0 ng/ml, Sx=0.4). The serum half-life of digoxin varied between 21.7 and 42.4 h (mean 30.0 h, Sx=7.7). The mean serum half-life of digoxin of 30 h attained values found in adults without renal disease. This suggests that the serum digoxin levels of newborns which are usually higher if compared with those of adults result from higher digoxin doses per unit body weight and not from diminished digoxin elimination.
