Biological characterization of glutaraldehyde-modified Parietaria judaica pollen extracts

BACKGROUND: Allergoids are widely used in specific immunotherapy (SIT) for the treatment of IgE-mediated allergic diseases, but all techniques for standardization of conventional allergic extracts may not be appropriate for standardization of a glutaraldehyde (GA)-modified extract because of the unique characteristics of these extracts. OBJECTIVE: To assess an accurate methodology for standardization of chemically modified extracts. METHODS: GA-modified extracts from Parietaria judaica pollen were purified by diafiltration. Biochemical properties were investigated by determination of amino groups, chromatography, and SDS-PAGE. The IgE-binding activity was determined by skin prick test, enzyme allergosorbent test inhibition, basophil activation, and histamine release tests. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from P. judaica pollen-allergic subjects were stimulated with either native or allergoid extracts, and proliferation was measured. RESULTS: Biochemical data indicated a high degree of allergen polymerization resulting in extract components higher than 100 kDa. IgE-binding activity, both in vivo and in vitro, was reduced by more than 99.8%. Both allergen and allergoid induced PBMC proliferation and synthesis of blocking IgG antibodies at similar rates. Moreover, no evidence of introduction of new determinants by chemical modification was found. CONCLUSIONS: The preparation of GA-modified extracts by diafiltration is faster and more reliable than previous chromatographic methods. These modified extracts have drastically reduced their allergenicity while maintaining their immunogenicity, and therefore they can be used in safer and shortened schedules of SIT.

Supercritical fluids in medical radioisotope processing and chemistry,Part II: Applications – real and demonstrated

In Part I of this review series, an overview was presented on what the basic properties of supercritical fluids are and how they can, and are being used in many of today's industries as solvents for extraction, chromatography and reaction. A good part of this overview detailed the kinds of equipment needed, and techniques on how to use them for optimal performance. Part II of this series will delve into specific applications of supercritical fluid technology as it relates to aspects of medical isotope processing. The reader will note that very few applications of this technology to Nuclear Medicine have been published. Many potential applications cited within the context of this review derive from preliminary studies carried out in the author's laboratory. These examples are presented to spark interest in future developments of this nature. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Occupational dermatitis from Synacril Red 3B liquid (Cl Basic Red 22)

A carpet factory worker, exposed to a number of different dyes, developed a severe hand dermatitis. The handling of warm, wet and freshly-dyed yarn with unprotected hands was thought to have caused the onset of dermatitis. Patch testing indicated that the patient was sensitive to only one of the dyes handled, namely Synacril Red 3B liquid, which is based on the single dyestuff Basic Red 22 (CI 11055). Chemical analysis revealed the dyestuff to be of high purity (greater than 95%), suggesting that sensitization was caused by the Basic Red 22 dyestuff itself and not by an avoidable impurity.     

Quantitative determination of atracurium in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography

The authors have established a new method for extraction and determination of atracurium in human plasma that employs a reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This method made use of a fluorescent spectrophotometer at an excitation wavelength of 240nm and an emission wavelength of 310nm. The mobile phase was made of a phosphate buffer, distilled water and acetonitrile (20V:30V:50V). The analytical column used was a Little Champ C₁₈.In a Bond Elute C₁₈ extraction column, which had been prewashed with a phosphate buffer and a 50% methanol solution, atracurium was extracted from acidified plasma samples using a mixture of methanol and phosphate buffer. A standard curve was prepared by the internal standard method using metocurine. A high linear correlation between atracurium concentration and the ratio of the atracurium peak height to the metocurine peak height was observed (r = 0.9994). The lowest threshold for detection of atracurium was 15ng/ml. When the plasma concentrations of atracurium were determined in 2 clinical cases, t_1/2 was 2.10 and 1.73min and t_1/2 was 15.57 and 21.57min, respectively. These results indicate that this method of extraction and determination is appropriate for studying the pharmacokinetics of atracurium because it allows a high reproducibility, and provides an extremely accurate, simple and quick analysis.(Okutani R, Kono K, Frederic M. deBros et al.: Quantitative determination of atracurium in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography.
