Transaminase activity after codeine administration.

چکیده
THE quantitative and serial changes that occur in serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) activity during the course of a myocardial infarction are well recognized. Changes in SGOT activity have been observed in other diseases such as hepatitis and pancreatitis (Wroblewski and LaDue, '955; Chinsky, Shmagranoff and Sherry, 1956) and after the administration of drugs such as chlorpromazine, pyrazinamide and opiates (quoted by Wroblewski, Ross and Gregory, I960). Foulk and Fleisher (I957) showed that opiates given as codeine produced quite a marked increase in SGOT activity in each of six patients who had had a cholecystectomy and who had subsequent abdominal pain. They were unable to account for this phenomenon but considered that transient biliary obstruction due to codeine-induced spasm of the bile ducts and duodenum was probably responsible. They concluded that in the interpretation of a raised SGOT activity the possible role of opiates administered in the preceding 24 hours should be considered. In view of these findings it was decided to study experimentally the effect of codeine phosphate on the SGOT andI SGPT (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) activities in a number of patients.

Pharmacogenetics of codeine metabolism in an urban population of children and its implications for analgesic reliability.
BACKGROUND Codeine analgesia is wholly or mostly due to its metabolism to morphine by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6, which shows significant genetic variation in activity. The aims of this study were to investigate genotype, phenotype and morphine production from codeine in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy, and to compare analgesia from codeine or morphine combined with diclofenac. ...

Zomepirac sodium inhibited the reflex hypertension caused by an injection of bradykinin into the splenic artery of anaesthetized dogs, but not that by injection of bradykinin plus PGE1. In the rat acetic acid writhing test, the potency ratio of intraperitoneal (ED50 = 0.41 microgram/kg) to intravenous (ED50 = 33.5 micrograms/kg) anti-writhing activity of zomepirac sodium was 79.2 (37.1-173), th...

A clinical study was designed to determine if there was a predictable relationship between saliva and plasma codeine concentrations. Drug-free volunteers (n = 17) were administered a 30-mg dose of liquid codeine phosphate. Plasma and saliva specimens were collected at various times for 24 h after administration. Plasma and saliva were analyzed for codeine and morphine by positive-ion chemical i...
