The potential of nitric oxide releasing therapies as antimicrobial agents
Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived, diatomic, lipophilic gas that plays an integral role in defending against pathogens. Among its many functions are involvement in immune cell signaling and in the biochemical reactions by which immune cells defend against bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. NO signaling directs a broad spectrum of processes, including the differentiation, proliferation, an...
متن کاملAlginates as haemostatic agents: worth revisiting?
Many patients present with wounds which are bleeding or prone to bleeding, and so cannot be treated with a noninteractive dressing. These wounds include: 8 Partialand full-thickness wounds 8 Arterial and venous ulcers 8 Diabetic foot ulcers 8 Pressure ulcers 8 Fungating lesions 8 Post-surgical wounds 8 Toe nail avulsions 8 Donor sites 8 Traumatic wounds 8 Wounds post debridement (sharp, surgica...
متن کاملNitric oxide generating/releasing materials
Harnessing the impressive therapeutic potential of nitric oxide (NO) remains an ongoing challenge. This paper describes several of the current strategies both with respect to the underlying chemistry and physics and to the applications where they have shown promise. Included in this overview are molecular systems such as NONOates that release NO through chemical reactions and delivery vehicles ...
متن کاملNitric oxide-releasing porous silicon nanoparticles
In this study, the ability of porous silicon nanoparticles (PSi NPs) to entrap and deliver nitric oxide (NO) as an effective antibacterial agent is tested against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. NO was entrapped inside PSi NPs functionalized by means of the thermal hydrocarbonization (THC) process. Subsequent reduction of nitrite in the presence of d-glucose led to the produ...
متن کاملHistamine and its Releasing Agents
Spontaneous histamine release from isolarted Mastcells was found to be independent of calcium in the concentration range up to 1 m. mole/lit. Phosphatidyl serine do not change the effect of calcium on spontaneous release. The activation of anaphyla.ctic histamine release by calcium is potentiated by phosphatidyl serine but the laitter can't do so w1th strontium. Mastcells, pretreated with AT...
