Chemotherapy of leprosy with diethyl- dithiol-isophthalate 'etisul'.

چکیده
by T ADASHT HrRAKo, National Leprosarium, Tama Zenshoen. The treatment of leprosy has gradually improved since n umerous anti-leprosy d rugs have been introduced not only sulphone compounds such as D.D.S. but also other types of preparations, thiourea derivatives, and antibiotics. Until ETISUL was recently reported to be effective for tuberculosis and also leprosy, there were no effective drugs for external use, in spite of the fact that one of the main lesions of leprosy is found in the skin. The results of its use obtained in a clinical trial for leprosy in Japan, has also confirmed ETISUL to be effective. Following are these findings, along with my evaluation.

In the title coordination polymer, [Zn(C(8)H(4)O(5))(C(13)H(20)N(4))](n), the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by an O(2)N(2) donor set in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The Zn(II) ions are connected by 5-hy-droxy-isophthalate (hbdc) and 2,2'-diethyl-1,1'-(propane-1,3-di-yl)di-1H-imidazole (pbie) ligands, forming a threefold inter-penetrating diamondoid framework. In the pbie ligand, one of the et...
متن کاملMitochondrial membrane sensitivity to depolarization in acute myeloblastic leukemia is associated with spontaneous in vitro apoptosis, wild-type TP53, and vicinal thiol/disulfide status.
Nonresponse to remission-induction chemotherapy, which remains a major problem in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), has been linked to cellular resistance to apoptosis. Because the apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs is mediated by loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP), it was postulated that sensitivity to mitochondrial membrane depolarization might be heterogeneous in A...
متن کاملDe-Novo Presentation of Histoid Leprosy on an Unusual Site
Histoid Leprosy (HL) is a rare variant of Lepromatous Leprosy, occurring in long-standing cases, mostly in a background of acquired drug resistance. Patients usually present with sudden onset multiple nodules and plaques, most often involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue of trunk and lower limbs. Here we report an unusual case of de novo (without any history of prior anti-leprotic therapy) ...

The title compound, [Ni(C(4)H(13)N(3))(2)][Ni(C(4)N(2)S(2))(2)], has been synthesized by the reaction of Ni(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O, diethyl-enetriamine (deta) and Na(2)[Ni(mnt)(2)] [mnt = maleonitrile-dithiol-ate(2-)] in methanol. The structure is composed of a [Ni(deta)(2)](2+) cation and a [Ni(mnt)(2)](2-) anion. The coordination geometry of the Ni(II) ion in the cation is slightly distorted octa-...

Phenylarsenious acid and diethyltin, which are known to have a great affinity for dithiol groups (Aldridge & Cremer, 1955; Peters, 1946), would be expected to compete with triethyltin for the two cysteine components of the triethyltin-binding sites. This was observed, although the affinities obtained with phenylarsenious acid and diethyltin for untreated cat haemoglobin (2x 1 0 4 ~ ' and approx...
