In vivo studies on the antiandrogenic effects of cimetidine versus cyproterone acetate in rats

1981

To investigate the antiandrogenic action of cimetidine in vivo, prostatic androgen uptake and metabolism, spermatogenesis, morphology of the prostate and testes, and plasma hormone levels were studied using Sprague-Dawley rats, and the results were compared with the effects of cyproterone acetate or castration. Cimetidine and cyproterone acetate caused significant reduction in the weights of the ventral prostate and testes. The changes of ventral prostate were accompanied by a dose-related epithelial atrophy. No adverse effect on spermatogenesis was observed after treatment with cimetidine at daily doses of 50 mg/kg or cyproterone acetate of 10 mg/kg. Although cimetidine treatment induced a…

Histamine release in mesenteric traction syndrome during abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery: prophylaxis with H1 and H2 antihistamines

2002

Objective and design: Mesenteric traction syndrome is described as sudden tachycardia, hypotension and flush. Among other etiological factors eventeration or mesenteric traction of the small intestine may cause histamine release from mesenteric mast cells. We hypothesized that mesenteric traction syndrome may be positively influenced by prophylactic antihistamine administration.¶Methods: Male patients (n = 17, ASA groups III-IV, 48–78 years old) were investigated in a randomised double blind study during elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Eight patients had pre-anaesthetic prophylaxis with dimetindene (H1-receptor antagonist) plus cimetidine (H2-receptor antagonist), 9 patient…

Crystal Data for Nickel Cimetidine Chloride: Ni (CM)2 CL2·2H2O

1989

AbstractNickel Cimetidine Chloride, Ni(C10H16SN6)2Cl2·2H2O has been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. Unit cell dimensions were determined by indexing programs, from diffractometer data obtained with copper radiation. A primitive monoclinic cell was found: a = 11.836(3)Å, b = 13.322(5)Å, c = 10.487(2)Å, β = 113.08 (2)°, Z = 2, Dx = 1.462 g/cm3, M.W. = 670.32. These data are consistent with values reported in the literature for other cimetidine complexes.

Histamine release during induction of anaesthesia and preparation for operation in patients undergoing general surgery: Incidence and clinically seve…

1992

Histamine release events were shown in a prospective randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing elective general surgery with an extraordinarily high incidence: 73 per cent. This high incidence was explained by several factors: — the sample size which was much greater than in previous studies — the improved plasma histamine assay — the precise definition of histamine release in clinical conditions and its measurement at the top of Bateman functions — the standardized induction of anaesthesia and preparation of the surgical patient — and finally the considerable number of cancer patients since more than 60% of the reactions >5 ng/ml occurred in this group which comprised only 20% of …

Crystal Data for Metal Cimetidine Isotiocionates: M(CM)2(NCS)2 (M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II))

1992

AbstractMetal cimetidine isothiocyanates, M(C10H16SN6)2(NCS)2, where M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), have been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. Unit cell dimensions were determined from powder diffractometer data. Refined cell parameters (monoclinic with a primitive cell), powder data, calculated densities and Z value are presented.

ChemInform Abstract: Ternary Complexes of Cimetidine and Phenobarbital with Cu(II) in Methanolic Solution.

1986

The formation constants of the binary complexes Cu(CM)2+ and Cu(CM) 2 2+ as well as those of the ternary complexes Cu(CM)L + and Cu(CM)2 L + (CM=Cimetidine=N-Cyano-N′-methyl-N″[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyltioethyl]-guanidine; HL=Phenobarbital=5-ethyl-5-phenyl-barbituric acid) have been determined in 0.1 and 1.0 mol dm−3 NaClO4 methanol solutions at 25±0.2°C. The values of logX, log βstat.., and Δ logK confirm the stability of the ternary complexes.

Accumulation and Adverse Effects of Metoprolol and Propranolol After Concurrent Administration of Cimetidine

1983

Pharmacokinetics of metoprolol, propranolol and atenolol were investigated in six healthy volunteers following 7 days of oral monotherapy with these drugs and after 7 days concurrent administration of each of these betareceptor antagonists with cimetidine. Application of cimetidine did not lead to any interaction with atenolol, whereas mean peak plasma levels of metoprolol were increased by 70%, and those of propranolol by 95% due to concurrent administration of cimetidine (p < 0.05). The AUC of the two last mentioned beta blockers behaved similarly (p < 0.05). Measurement of exercise-induced tachycardia on the 6th day of administration showed no differences between monotherapy with the bet…
