Solvents and neurotoxicity.
We describe the clinical evaluation of the nervous-system effects of solvent exposure. We review the current evidence in the epidemiological literature on neurotoxicological effects of solvents, and outline methods and issues to be taken into account in assessment of the patient whose symptoms may be related to solvent toxicity. Primary prevention of these disorders is essential, because treatm...
متن کاملThe effects of organic solvents on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 activity: implications for neurotoxicity.
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1; EC 2.4.2.30), also termed as poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, is a key enzyme in the recognition and repair of damaged DNA. Several conditions (e.g., ischemia-reperfusion or chemical-induced injury) have been shown to overactivate PARP-1, causing neurodegeneration and necrotic or apoptotic cell death from NAD+ and ATP depletion. In contrast, inhibitors of PARP...
متن کاملHemolysis as a possible indicator of neurotoxicity induced by organic solvents.
The expense, length of time and number of animals required for routine toxicity testing have provided the incentive for finding alternative techniques which are faster, less expensive and equally valid. The purpose of this work was to examine the value of a simple in vitro test (hemolysis) as a correlate of the neurotoxicity produced by commonly used industrial organic solvents. Incubation of r...
متن کاملChemiluminescence Properties of Peroxyoxalate System in Organic Solvents
Peroxyoxalate system includes an oxalate ester, peroxide and a fluorescer, The energy resulted from the reaction of oxalate ester and peroxide is transferred to fluorescer and cause it to fluorsc. The effect of reactants chemical structure, their concentration, solvent media (polarity and viscosity) and the temperature, on the intensity of the illuminated light with respect to time have bee...
متن کاملInfluence of organic solvents on papain kinetics.
Papain activity was studied in water-organic solvent mixtures using the fluorogenic substrate Dabcyl-Lys-Phe-Gly-Gly-Ala-Ala-Edans. The increase of organic solvent (MeOH, EtOH, iPrOH, TFE, MeCN, (MeO)2Et and DMF) concentration in the mixture caused a substantial decrease the initial rate of papain-catalyzed hydrolysis. Moreover, the number of papain active sites decreased with the increase of D...
