چکیده

Los autores han informado previamente, que en ratollcillos infectados por via intravenosa con M. leprae murium, y tratados con isoniazid continuamente por 180 dias, hubo una supresion casi total en I~ multiplicacion de los microorganismos. Ahora se ha descubierto, sinembargo, que si el tratamiento se continua indefinidamente estos ani males muer en antes de un ano con tantos bacilos en los organos como los animales testigos. Que este desarrollo se de he a la adquisicion de r esistencia a la droga pOl' el bacilo, 10 com-probo el hecho que cuando la infeccion fue transferida a otros animales, el tratamiento con isoniazid fue totalmente inefectivo. Ademas, nuevos ratoncillos con los pocos bacilos obtenidos de los animales sacrificados a los 180 dias, tam poco fueron beneficiados con el tratamiento, demostrando que r esistencia a la droga ya se habia desarrollado. Diferentes mycobacterias varian en su sensitividad a la isoniazid, y los malos resultados en casos de lepra humana tratados con esta droga pueden ser dehidos a falta de sensitividad de parte de M. leprae, pero los autores creen que la dificultad es mas probable que sea el desarrollo de resistencia a la droga, y la isoniazid debe usarse solamente con otras drogas antileprosas.

Chemotherapy of murine leprosy. V. The effects of various combinations of 4, 4 -diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), streptomycin and isoniazid on mouse leprosy.

In previous communications (3-5) I have reported, among other things, that 4-4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), streptomycin, and isoniazid (isonicotinic acid hydrazide) possess definite therapeutic activity in mouse leprosy, and that the combination of DDS and streptomycin showed an additive effect. The effects of various combinations of DDS, streptomycin and isoniazid on mouse leprosy are repo...

Since the discovery of the antituberculous activity of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid), many related chemical compounds have been studied in the hope of finding compounds still more potent, less toxic, and of longer-lasting activity. Isonicotinylhydrazones of substituted benzaldehydes have been studied by several groups of investigators. A total of 25 derivatives have been reported to b...

Chemotherapy of murine leprosy. II. The effects of streptomycin, sulfones and isonicotinylhydrazines on mouse leprosy.

The effectiveness of the sulfones in the treatment of human leprosy is well known (9, 11). The antileprosy activity of streptomycin has been reported by several workers (6, 9, 11, 18). However, the action of these drugs on murine leprosy is stilI not established. Prom in has been reported to have an inhibitory action on rat leprosy (2, 5) and on mouse leprosy (8). Diasone has been considered ef...
