Anesthetic efficacy of ketamine-diazepam, ketamine-xylazine, and ketamine-acepromazine in Caspian Pond turtles (Mauremys caspica)

2017

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of different anesthetic drug combinations on the Caspian Pond turtles (Mauremys caspica). Subjects and Methods: Three groups of the Caspian Pond turtles (n = 6) were anesthetized with three different drug combinations. Initially, a pilot study was conducted to determine the best drug doses for the anesthetization of the turtles, and according to these results, ketamine-diazepam (120 mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride [5%] and 2 mg/kg diazepam [5%]), ketamine-acepromazine (120 mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride [5%] and 1 mg/kg acepromazine [1%]), and ketamine-xylazine (120 mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride [5%] and 1 mg/kg xylazine [2%]) wer…

Effects of chlorpromazine and some of its metabolites on the EEG and on dopamine metabolism of the isolated perfused rat brain.

1979

Abstract The study concerned the effects of chlorpromazine (CPZ), monodesmethyl-chlorpromazine (NOR1-CPZ), didesmethyl-chlorpromazine (NOR2-CPZ), and chlorpromazine-N-oxide (CPZ-NO) on the EGG and on dopamine metabolism of the isolated perfused rat brain. Isolated brains were perfused with 100 ml of a perfusion medium containing 30% bovine red cells (v/v), 2 g bovine serum albumin, 14 mM glucose as well as one of the agents in a concentration of 10 μM. The main dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) was measured fluorimetrically in the striatum of the isolated brain. The EGG was recorded by two symmetrical bipolar leads from the parietal regions at various times during the 30 min perfu…

Arrhythmias and inhibition of noradrenaline uptake caused by tricyclic antidepressants and chlorpromazine on the isolated perfused rabbit heart

1975

1. Isolated rabbit hearts were perfused with a modified Tyrode solution containing noradrenaline in concentrations increasing stepwise from 5.9 nM to 5.9 μM at 5 min intervals. This dose regime was applied twice before and once 20 min after starting perfusion with one of 9 tricyclic drugs. Ventricular rate and right atrial and ventricular tensions were recorded using the transverse method. 2. Infusions of noradrenaline evoked ventricular arrhythmias in hearts perfused with amitriptyline 4.8 μM, chlorpromazine 5.0 μM, desipramine 5.0 μM, dibenzepine 34.7 μM, doxepin 4.7 μM, imipramine 4.7 μM, noxiptiline 9.1 μM and opipramole 9.2 μM. The incidence of arrhythmias increased with the concentrat…

Influence of therapeutic and toxic doses of neuroleptics and antidepressants on energy metabolism of the isolated perfused rat brain.

1973

The isolated perfused rat brain was used for a comparative study of the effects of promazine, imipramine, monodesmethyl promazine and desipramine on cerebral energy metabolism. After perfusion for 30 min or 1 h the brain levels of the following substrates and metabolites were estimated: P-creatine, creatine, ATP, ADP, AMP, glycogen, glucose, glucose-6-P, fructose diphosphate, dihydroxyacetone-P, pyruvate, lactate, α-ketoglutarate, and ammonia. Drug concentrations of 5·10−6 M and 10−5 M in the perfusion medium caused a significant decrease of glucose-6-P alone. When the drug concentration was raised to a toxic range (10−4 M), reflected in the EEG by the pattern of secondary discharges, an ac…

Anthropometric and pharmacotherapeutic variables on acute emesis induced by cisplatin-containing chemotherapy.

2000

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the effects of anthropometric and pharmacotherapeutic variables on acute emesis induced by cisplatin-containing regimens with dosages ·50 mg·m−2. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional, noncontrolled study was performed to analyze acute vomiting during the first 24 hours in patients treated in a Spanish hospital. The patients received an intravenous combination of drugs (2 doses of metoclopramide 3 mg/kg, dexamethasone 20 mg) as first-choice antiemetic therapy. Intravenous ondansetron 8 mg and dexamethasone 20 mg served as an alternative regimen in patients <30 years old with a history of extrapyramidal manifestations or emesis in previous cycles. Therapeutic …

Die Bedeutung der Bindung von Pharmaka an Albumin und Erythrocyten eines Perfusionsmediums der isolierten Rattenleber

1971

The binding of lipophilic drugs to albumin and erythrocytes and its importance for the uptake of the drugs into the isolated rat liver were investigated. Promazine and chlorpromazine were taken as lipophilic drugs, which were compared in some experiments with 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-diacetyldiphenylbisguanylhydrazone (BG 60), a much more hydrophilic drug.

Influence of emulsified fat on chlorpromazine availability in rabbit blood.

1974

Kaninchen uberlebten die letale Dosis von 30 mg/kg Chlorpromazin (i.v.) nur zusammen mit einer Fettinfusion (0,5 ml/kg/min Lipofundin S 10®). Es konnte in vitro gezeigt werden, dass der Zusatz einer Fettemulsion (Lipofundin S 10®) zu Kaninchenblut (25 mg Fett/ml) den Anteil an freiem Chlorpromazin (Gesamtkonzentration 10−4M) von 2,05% auf 0,87% herabsetzt.

Die Aufnahme von Promazin, Chlorpromazin und deren Desmethylmetaboliten in das isoliert perfundierte Rattenhirn

1971

The uptake of promazine, chlorpromazine, desmethylpromazine, and desmethylchlorpromazine into the isolated rat brain was determined in relation to their lipophilic character and their binding to albumin and erythroeytes in the perfusion media. The desmethylmetabolites showed about the same degree of binding as their parent compounds promazine and chlorpromazine. On the other hand the partition coefficients of promazine and chlorpromazine were about 10 times higher than those of their desmethylmetabolites. The more hydrophilic desmethyl-metabolites permeated more slowly into the rat brain, but in the distribution equilibrium they may obviously come up to the same concentration in the brain a…

Characterization of a common binding site for basic drugs on human ?2-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid)

1983

The interaction of chlorpromazine, dl-propranolol, and imipramine with isolated α1-acid glycoprotein is characterized by relatively high association constants and only one binding site per protein molecule. The mutual displacement between the three drugs indicates that all three compounds are bound to the same binding site. Several other basic drugs from different pharmacological and chemical classes also displace chlorpromazine, dl-propranolol, and imipramine with potencies, one would predict from their association constants or from the degree of their plasma binding in humans. It is concluded that displacement phenomena like those observed in this study in vitro are likely to occur also i…
