“Heparin Allergy” Secondary to Preservative, Namely Benzyl Alcohol
Heparin is an injectable anticoagulant that prevents coagulation. There are presently high and low molecular heparins as well as synthetic pentasaccharide inhibitors. Given its ubiquitous use in sensitive medical states, there is a high concern for safety with this drug. Heparin can induce several distinct immune-mediated reactions. There are several options to consider when heparin allergy occ...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying benzyl alcohol cytotoxicity (triamcinolone acetonide preservative) in human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
PURPOSE Benzyl alcohol (BA) is the preservative in triamcinolone acetonide (TA) suspensions, which are used in treating vitreoretinal diseases and during surgery. This paper investigates the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying BA toxicity in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. METHODS Cultured human RPE cells from the ARPE-19 cell line were exposed to culture medi...
متن کاملHplc – Uv Chromatography Determination of Benzaldehyde Arising from Benzyl Alcohol Used as Preservative in Injectable Formulations
A simple, rapid, precise and accurate HPLC – UV procedure has been developed to determine benzaldehyde, the toxic oxidation product of the widely used preservative and Co – solvent, benzyl alcohol, in injectable formulations. Benzaldehyde as a main potential impurity of benzyl alcohol may cause many toxic effects such as neurotoxicity, hypersensitivity in human and fatal toxic syndrome in prema...
متن کاملHeparin induced thrombocytopaenia secondary to intraperitoneal heparin exposure.
Type II immune-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is reported to occur in 2% of individuals exposed to heparin for more than 4 days [1]. HIT has been well described in haemodialysis patients with a similar incidence to non-dialysis patients [2]. Patients treated with peritoneal dialysis are not routinely exposed to heparin during dialysis, and for this reason a switch from haemodia...
متن کاملCataliticoxidation of benzyl alcohol by Cu(II) polypyridyl complexes
Two polypyridyl copper(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)(phen-dione)Cl]Cl (1) and [Cu(bpy) (phen-dione)Cl]Cl (2), (where Phen =1,10-phenanthroline, bpy =2,2'-bipyridine and Phen-dione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione), were used as efficient catalysts for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. The effects of various parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, etc. were studied. The ...
