Xanthine oxidase inhibition by allopurinol increases in vitro pyrazinamide-induced hepatotoxicity in HepG2 cells.
Despite the important role of pyrazinamide in tuberculosis treatment, little is known about the mechanism of pyrazinamide-induced hepatotoxicity. We inhibited xanthine oxidase in HepG2 cells by using a nontoxic concentration of allopurinol, a well-known xanthine-oxidase inhibitor. This increased in vitro pyrazinamide toxicity in HepG2 cells, which suggests that the hydroxy metabolites of pyrazi...
متن کاملEffect of amlodipine, lisinopril and allopurinol on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
BACKGROUND Exposure to chemotherapeutic agents such as acetaminophen may lead to serious liver injury. Calcium deregulation, angiotensin II production and xanthine oxidase activity are suggested to play mechanistic roles in such injury. OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the possible protective effects of the calcium channel blocker amlodipine, the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor lisinopr...
متن کاملAntileishmanial effect of allopurinol.
Allopurinol (4-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine) has been shown to inhibit the growth of Leishmania braziliensis in vitro at concentrations which are attainable in human tissues and body fluids. This compound is believed to act by interdicting the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, probably through the formation of allopurinol ribotide. Its lack of toxicity makes it a potential candidate for ani...
متن کاملAllopurinol Induced DRESS Syndrome.
A 45 years old female on allopurinol for 3 months presented with itching, rash, facial oedema and eosinophilia with hepatic and renal dysfunction. Skin biopsy revealed interface dermatitis, suggesting the diagnosis of DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) syndrome.
متن کاملAllopurinol-induced DRESS syndrome.
Hyperuricemia is present in approximately 5% of the population, the vast majority of whom are asymptomatic and at no clinical risk. Complications, including renal calculi, uric acid nephropathy and gout, occur in a small proportion of patients. Allopurinol, an analog of hypoxanthine, has been widely used in clinical practice for over 30 years for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. Two per...
