Toxicity as prime selection criterion among SARS-active herbal medications

2021

We present here a new selection criterion for prioritizing research on efficacious drugs for the fight against COVID-19: the relative toxicity versus safety of herbal medications, which were effective against SARS in the 2002/2003 epidemic. We rank these medicines according to their toxicity versus safety as basis for preferential rapid research on their potential in the treatment of COVID-19. The data demonstrate that from toxicological information nothing speaks against immediate investigation on, followed by rapid implementation of Lonicera japonica, Morus alba, Forsythia suspensa, and Codonopsis spec. for treatment of COVID-19 patients. Glycyrrhiza spec. and Panax ginseng are ranked in …

Are the Adverse Drug Reactions of Amoxycillin and Amoxycillin-Clavulanic Acid Similar?

1996

UNLABELLED In an attempt to assess the relative toxicity of amoxycillin and amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, we compared the adverse drug reactions reports collected using the spontaneous reporting system of a Regional Drug Surveillance Centre of Spain for both drugs between November 1986 and December 1992. During the 7-year period 1986-92, the 247 reports of amoxycillin-clavulanic acid represent twice the number of reports of amoxycillin alone, and the number of reports related with sales received concerning the association were higher than those concerning amoxycillin alone. The adverse effects classified as severe were quantitatively and qualitatively similar for both drugs and gastrointesti…

Structural invariants for the prediction of relative toxicities of polychloro dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans

2004

Multivariate models are reported that can predict the relative toxicity of compounds with severe environmental impact, namely polychloro dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Multiple linear regression analysis (MLR) and partial least square projections of latent variables (PLS) show the usefulness of graph-theoretical descriptors, mainly topological charge indices (TCIs), in these series. The general trends of the group are correctly reproduced and better results are presented than have previously been published. In general, the more toxic compounds exhibit more symmetric molecular structures.
