background & objectives: although isoniazid is the most efficient in killing the tuberculosis bacilli, resistance to this drug also develops most readily. mutations in katg, inha and ahpc are responsible for isoniazid resistance in a large proportion of tuberculosis cases. the frequency of these mutations varies with population samples, however. this study provided the first molecular character...

Introduction: The GABAergic system of the brain plays a key role in morphine tolerance and sensitization. As isoniazid is a modulator of the GABAergic system, the present study aims to understand whether isoniazid can influence the induction of tolerance and sensitization to the rewarding effects of morphine.  Methods: The rewarding effects of morphine and isoniazid were assessed using a Condi...

Background: GABAergic drugs can modulate the rewarding properties of morphine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of isoniazid, as a GABAergic agent, on the rewarding effects of morphine. Methods: Eighteen groups of female mice (eight per group) were used in a conditioned place preference (CPP) study. On the conditioning phase of the CPP p...

Background: Isoniazid is an important drug in first line of treating the tuberculosis disease. This drug can lead to damages in different parts of the body such as liver and testis. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium are the probiotics that have the important innate property that inhibit from passing of Isoniazid into the blood-testis-barrier. In point of spermatogenesis indexes whic...

In this work poly eriochrome black T (EBT) was electrochemically synthesized on the glassy carbon electrode as electrode modifier. On the modified electrode, voltammetric behavior of isoniazid (INH) was investigated. The poly (EBT)-modified glassy carbon electrode has excellent electrocatalytic ability for the electrooxidation of isoniazid. This fact was appeared as a reduced overpotential of I...

in the present study, silver oxyfluoride modified silver electrode was employed to electrocatalytic oxidation of isoniazid. the process of oxidation and its kinetics were established by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and amperometry techniques. the modified electrode shows a stable and linear response in the concentration range of 3×10−4 to 2.1×10−3 mol l-1 with a correlation coeff...
