Comparative effects of various serotonin releasing agents in mice

Five serotonin (5-HT) releasers, p-chlorophenylethylamine (p-Cl-PEA), p-methoxyphenyl-ethylamine (p-CH₃O-PEA), 4-methyl-alpha-ethyl-meta-tyramine (H75/12), fenfluramine and p-chloro-amphetamine (p-CA) were compared as to their effects on mouse brain 5-HT metabolism. All 5-HT releasers had similar ed₅₀ values (0.34–0.70 μM) for tritiated 5-HT ([³H]5-HT) release from brain synaptosomes. With the exception of H75/12, they had similar potencies for the production of the ‘serotonin syndrome,’ which probably reflect their in vivo 5-HT releasing actions. H75/12 was also the only 5-HT releaser that did not elevate brain tryptophan concentration. p-CH₃-PEA and H75/12 did not have any long-term effects on brain 5-HT, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-H1AA), or tryptophan hydroxylase activity, in contrast to the reported neurotoxic effects of p-CA and fenfluramine. p-Cl-PEA and p-CH₃O-PEA were the only 5-HT releasers that increased brain 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels. Despite the structural similarities of these five 5-HT releasers, we have found considerable differences in their actions on brain 5-HT metabolism.     

Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of branches extracts of five Juniperus species from Turkey

Context: Several Juniperus species (Cupressaceae) are utilized in folk medicine in the treatment of infections and skin diseases.

Objective: This work was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of methanol and water branches extracts of Juniperus species from Turkey: Juniperus communis L. var. communis (Jcc), Juniperus communis L. var. saxatilis Pall. (Jcs), Juniperus drupacea Labill. (Jd), Juniperus oxycedrus L. subsp. oxycedrus (Joo), Juniperus oxycedrus L. subsp. macrocarpa (Sibth. & Sm.) Ball. (Jom).

Materials and methods: Total phenolics, total flavonoids and condensed tannins were spectrophotometrically determined. The antioxidant properties were examined using different in vitro systems. The toxicity was assayed by Artemia salina lethality test. The antimicrobial potential against bacteria and yeasts was evaluated using minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC/MBC) measurements. The effect on bacteria biofilms was tested by microtiter plate assay.

Results: Both in the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and TBA (thiobarbituric acid) test Jom resulted the most active (IC₅₀?=?0.034?±?0.002?mg/mL and 0.287?±?0.166 µg/mL). Joo exhibited the highest reducing power (1.78?±?0.04 ASE/mL) and Fe²⁺ chelating activity (IC₅₀?=?0.537?±?0.006?mg/mL). A positive correlation between primary antioxidant activity and phenolic content was found. The extracts were potentially non-toxic against Artemia salina. They showed the best antimicrobial (MIC?=?4.88-30.10 µg/mL) and anti-biofilm activity (60–84%) against S. aureus.

Discussion and conclusion: The results give a scientific basis to the traditional utilization of these Juniperus species, also demonstrating their potential as sources of natural antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds.     

Antimycoplasmal activities of ofloxacin and commonly used antimicrobial agents on Mycoplasma gallisepticum

In vitro activities of ofloxacin (OFLX), a new quinolone derivative, against 29 strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum was compared with those of 4 commonly used antimicrobial agents, doxycycline (DOXY), tylosin (TS), spectinomycin (SPCM) and thiamphenicol (TP). Antimycoplasmal activities of the drugs were evaluated on the MIC (final MIC) and MPC (minimum mycoplasmacidal concentration) values which were determined by a broth dilution procedure. The following results were obtained. 1. The MIC90s of OFLX and DOXY were both 0.20 micrograms/ml. The MICs of TS were distributed through a wide range (less than or equal to 0.006 - 0.78 micrograms/ml), and its MIC90 was 0.78 micrograms/ml. Of 29 M. gallisepticum strains, 27.6% were recognized as TS-resistant. The MIC90 values of SPCM and TP were 1.56 micrograms/ml and 3.13 micrograms/ml, respectively. The MIC90 of OFLX was equal to that of DOXY and 4- to 16-fold smaller than the values of the other 3 antibiotics. 2. The MPC of OFLX was the lowest among the antibiotics tested, its MPC90 value was 0.39 micrograms/ml and was followed by DOXY (1.56 micrograms/ml). The MPCs of TS were distributed in a wide range (0.012 - 3.13 micrograms/ml), and its MPC90 was 3.13 micrograms/ml. The MPC90 values of SPCM and TP were both 6.25 micrograms/ml. Therefore, the mycoplasmacidal activity of OFLX evaluated with MPC90 values was 4- to 16-fold greater than those of the other 4 antibiotics.     

Comparative in vitro activity of aztreonam and other antimicrobial agents against Salmonella species

The in vitro activity of aztreonam, the first monobactam antibiotic, was compared with that of 17 other antimicrobial agents against 79 strains of Salmonella species. The microorganisms were isolated from hospitalized patients, surface waters and seafoods during the decade 1975-1984. They included the following species: Salmonella typhi 63, Salmonella typhimurium 5, Salmonella wien 5, Salmonella heidelberg 2, Salmonella arizonae 2, Salmonella paratyphi B 1 and Salmonella enteritidis 1. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the antibiotics were determined using a serial dilution method in agar. A final inoculum size of 10(5) colony-forming units (CFU) X ml-1 of the tested microorganisms was used. Aztreonam exhibited a superior antimicrobial activity to that of the other antibiotics tested. Aztreonam inhibited 90% of the strains by 0.8 micrograms X ml-1 (MIC range was 0.05 to 1.56 micrograms X ml-1). There was no major difference between minimum bactericidal concentration and MIC values of aztreonam and the effect of inoculum size upon MIC values was observed at 10(7) CFU X ml-1.     

Comparative pulmonary toxicity of blasting sand and five substitute abrasive blasting agents

Blasting sand is used for abrasive blasting, but its inhalation is associated with pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Consequently, safer substitute materials for blasting sand are needed. In a previous study from this laboratory, the comparative pulmonary toxicity of five abrasive blasting substitutes and blasting sand was reported. In this study, the pulmonary toxicity of blasting sand was compared to five additional abrasive blasting substitutes: steel grit, copper slag, nickel slag, crushed glass, and olivine. Exposed rats received by intratracheal instillation 10 mg of respirable-size particles of blasting sand or an abrasive blasting substitute, while controls were instilled with vehicle. Pulmonary inflammation, damage, and fibrosis were examined 28 d postexposure. Pulmonary inflammation was monitored by determining bronchoalveolar lavage polymorphonuclear cell counts and alveolar macrophage activation by chemiluminescence. Pulmonary damage was assessed by acellular bronchoalveolar (BAL) fluid serum albumin concentrations and lactate dehydrogenase activities. Histological examination of lung tissue samples was made to assess the severity and distribution of pulmonary fibrosis, alveolitis, and alveolar epithelial cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia. In comparison to blasting sand, olivine exposed rats had higher levels of pulmonary inflammation and damage with a similar level of fibrosis. Steel grit-exposed rats had lower levels of pulmonary inflammation and damage, and did not develop fibrosis. However, steel grit-exposed rats had a level of epithelial cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia similar to blasting sand. The other abrasive blasting substitutes gave a mixed profile of toxicity. The data demonstrate that steel grit produced less acute pulmonary toxicity than blasting sand or any of the other abrasive blasting substitutes. Notwithstanding, the data also suggest that chronic exposure to steel grit may pose a health risk due to its effects on epithelial cell proliferation in the lung.     

Dioxidine in experimental pyocyanic pyelonephritis in rats

A model of obturation hematogenous pyelonephritis was reproduced in rats by infecting them with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. On the model subject to study was chemotherapeutic activity of dioxidine (50--100 mg/kg per day) as compared to gentamycin (5 mg/kg per day). The drugs were administered intramuscularly for 7 days, starting 24 hours after inoculation of the animals. The action of both dioxidine and gentamycin on lethality, bacteriura, the mass of the kidneys and macroscopic changes in them was approximately the same, but dioxidine extered a greater influence on the seeding rate of the causative agent coming from the kidneys. Both drugs fail to bring about complete recovery of the animals.
