Acetanilide oxidation in phenylbutazone-associated hypoplastic anaemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acetanilide like phenylbutazone is paraoxidized by the liver endoplasmic reticulum as a primary biotransformation step. Both compounds were given at different times to each of 10 healthy volunteer subjects and the plasma disappearances measured. Correlation was shown between plasma clearance values of the two compounds (r = + 0.7067; P < 0.05).Eight patients with hypoplastic anaemia after phenylbutazone therapy were investigated. Plasma clearance values and half lives of acetanilide were measured in this group of patients and compared with those of a group of 30 healthy volunteer controls. There was a significant decrease in clearance (P < 0.01) and lengthening of half lives (P < 0.001 in the patients with phenylbutazone-associated hypoplasia. Five patients with idiopathic aplastic anaemia-that is, without history of antecedent phenylbutazone ingestion-were similarly investigated with acetanilide and there was no significant difference between the results in these patients and those in the control group.It is suggested that relatively poor paraoxidation of phenylbutazone producing high blood concentrations on a given dose may be a factor responsible for the drug-associated hypoplasia even though it does not explain the similar pattern of adverse reactions reported in association with oral administration of the metabolite oxyphenbutazone.

Interference by acetaminophen in the glucose oxidase-peroxidase method for blood glucose determination.
Acetaminophen, p-aminophenol, and oxyphenbutazone interfere with the glucose oxidase/peroxidase method for glucose. Structurally related compounds that lack a free phenolic hydroxyl group (acetanilide, aniline, and phenylbutazone) do not interfere. During the analytical procedure acetaminophen is consumed. One mole of acetaminophen leads to an apparent loss of four moles of glucose. The hexokin...
متن کاملStudy of fatal bone marrow depression with special reference to phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone.
The histories of 269 patients whose death certificates did not mention a drug as the cause of aplastic anaemia or agranulocytosis were investigated. Eighty-three deaths were probably caused by drugs, the most common cause of aplastic anaemia being treatment with phenylbutazone (28 deaths) and oxyphenbutazone (11 deaths). Thirteen out of 17 deaths from agranulocytosis were attributed to co-trimo...
متن کاملStructural gene products of the Ah locus. Genetic and immunochemical evidence for two forms of mouse liver cytochrome P-450 induced by 3-methylcholanthrene.
With the use of heterogenic stock (HS) mice, more than g-fold differences in hepatic microsomal 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[alpyrene) hydroxylase (EC 1.14.14.2) activity and at least 4-fold differences in 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible acetanilide 4-hydroxylase activity were found. These data strongly suggest independent genetic control of two inducible cytochrome P-4...
متن کاملElectrochemical oxidation of propanil and related N-substituted amides
The electrochemical behaviour of propanil and related N-substituted amides (acetanilide and N,N-diphenylacetamide) was studied by cyclic and square wave voltammetry using a glassy carbon electrode. Propanil has been found to have chemical stability under the established analytical conditions and showed an oxidation peak at +1.27 V versus Ag/AgCl at pH 7.5. N,N-diphenylacetamide has a higher oxi...
متن کاملAutosomal dominant inheritance and amino aciduria in Blackfan-Diamond anaemia.
Since congenital hypoplastic anaemia was first described by Diamond and Blackfan in 1938, over a hundred cases have been reported in the literature. The syndrome is characterized by a profound persistent anaemia, onset early in infancy, a severe hypoplasia of the erythroid precursors of the bone marrow, and absence of other haematological abnormalities. Until steroids become available for treat...
