Barbiturates
Secobarbital
Pentobarbital
A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p236)
Amobarbital
Thiopental
Barbital
Methohexital
Phenobarbital
Mephobarbital
GABA Modulators
Substances that do not act as agonists or antagonists but do affect the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID receptor-ionophore complex. GABA-A receptors (RECEPTORS, GABA-A) appear to have at least three allosteric sites at which modulators act: a site at which BENZODIAZEPINES act by increasing the opening frequency of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-activated chloride channels; a site at which BARBITURATES act to prolong the duration of channel opening; and a site at which some steroids may act. GENERAL ANESTHETICS probably act at least partly by potentiating GABAergic responses, but they are not included here.
Hypnotics and Sedatives
Receptors, GABA-A
Thiamylal
Methaqualone
Primidone
Opium
The air-dried exudate from the unripe seed capsule of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, or its variant, P. album. It contains a number of alkaloids, but only a few - MORPHINE; CODEINE; and PAPAVERINE - have clinical significance. Opium has been used as an analgesic, antitussive, antidiarrheal, and antispasmodic.
Benzodiazepines
Anesthetics
Meprobamate
A carbamate with hypnotic, sedative, and some muscle relaxant properties, although in therapeutic doses reduction of anxiety rather than a direct effect may be responsible for muscle relaxation. Meprobamate has been reported to have anticonvulsant actions against petit mal seizures, but not against grand mal seizures (which may be exacerbated). It is used in the treatment of ANXIETY DISORDERS, and also for the short-term management of INSOMNIA but has largely been superseded by the BENZODIAZEPINES. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p603)
Macedonia (Republic)
Formerly a constituent republic of Yugoslavia, comprising the Yugoslav section of the region of Macedonia. It was made a constituent republic in the 1946 constitution. It became independent on 8 February 1994 and was recognized as The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia by the United States Board on Geographic Names 16 February 1994.
Picrotoxin
A noncompetitive antagonist at GABA-A receptors and thus a convulsant. Picrotoxin blocks the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-activated chloride ionophore. Although it is most often used as a research tool, it has been used as a CNS stimulant and an antidote in poisoning by CNS depressants, especially the barbiturates.
Diazepam
Phenytoin
An anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization. The mechanism of its muscle relaxant effect appears to involve a reduction in the sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and interactions with other drugs.
Chlormethiazole
A sedative and anticonvulsant often used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal. Chlormethiazole has also been proposed as a neuroprotective agent. The mechanism of its therapeutic activity is not entirely clear, but it does potentiate GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID receptors response and it may also affect glycine receptors.

Uridine Phosphorylase
Benzyl Alcohol
Glycogen Phosphorylase
An enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of GLYCOGEN in animals by releasing glucose-1-phosphate from the terminal alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond. This enzyme exists in two forms: an active phosphorylated form ( PHOSPHORYLASE A) and an inactive un-phosphorylated form (PHOSPHORYLASE B). Both a and b forms of phosphorylase exist as homodimers. In mammals, the major isozymes of glycogen phosphorylase are found in muscle, liver and brain tissue.
Significance of acute cerebral swelling in patients with sylvian hematoma due to ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm, and its management. (1/447)
A retrospective study of 75 patients treated surgically for ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm within 48 hours evaluated clinical grade at admission, secondary development and management of cerebral swelling associated with space-occupying hematoma, cerebral infarction caused by vasospasm, development of hydrocephalus, and clinical outcome. Clinical grade at admission was significantly better in patients without than in those with hematoma (p < 0.01). Twenty-seven patients with sylvian hematoma caused by ruptured MCA aneurysm often developed ipsilateral cerebral swelling in the early period after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Seventeen of these patients developed serious cerebral swelling and received barbiturate therapy. Nine of these 17 patients had good outcome, but six patients died of cerebral swelling. The incidence of hydrocephalus was significantly higher in patients with than in those without hematoma (p < 0.01). The incidence of infarction was more pronounced in patients with sylvian hematoma. Clinical outcome was significantly better in patients without than in those with sylvian hematoma (p < 0.01). Development of cerebral swelling in patients with sylvian hematoma due to ruptured MCA aneurysm has a significant effect on outcome, and improvements in management are required. (+info)Surgical treatment of internal carotid artery anterior wall aneurysm with extravasation during angiography--case report. (2/447)
A 54-year-old female presented subarachnoid hemorrhage from an aneurysm arising from the anterior (dorsal) wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA). During four-vessel angiography, an extravasated saccular pooling of contrast medium emerged in the suprasellar area unrelated to any arterial branch. The saccular pooling was visualized in the arterial phase and cleared in the venophase during every contrast medium injection. We suspected that the extravasated pooling was surrounded by hard clot but communicated with the artery. Direct surgery was performed but major premature bleeding occurred during the microsurgical procedure. After temporary clipping, an opening of the anterior (dorsal) wall of the ICA was found without apparent aneurysm wall. The vessel wall was sutured with nylon thread. The total occlusion time of the ICA was about 50 minutes. Follow-up angiography demonstrated good patency of the ICA. About 2 years after the operation, the patient was able to walk with a stick and to communicate freely through speech, although left hemiparesis and left homonymous hemianopsia persisted. The outcome suggests our treatment strategy was not optimal, but suture of the ICA wall is one of the therapeutic choices when premature rupture occurs in the operation.

The feasibility of flow cytometric antifungal susceptibility testing has been studied using the fluorescent anionic membrane potential probe, bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid) trimethine oxonol [DiBAC4(3)]. The in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing of amphotericin B was performed on 8 Candida isolates from clinical specimens and 2 ATCC strains by flow cytometry with the results compared to those of the National Committee of Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M27-T, broth macrodilution method. The flow cytometric method is based on an increase of fluorescence given out by DiBAC4(3) in fungi when they are killed by antifungal agents. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of amphotericin B ranged from 0.25 to 1 microg/mL. All results agreed within +/-2 dilution between the flow cytometric method and the M27-T method. MIC with ATCC strains were within recommended ranges of M27-T. The new flow cytometric method revealed a clear and distinct reproducible test end point. A four hr of incubation was sufficient for the test. In conclusion, flow cytometry using DiBAC4(3) is a rapid and accurate in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing method. (+info)Long-term potentiation in the dentate gyrus is not linked to increased extracellular glutamate concentration. (4/447)
Long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory transmission is a likely candidate for the encoding and storage of information in the mammalian brain. There is a general agreement that LTP involves an increase in synaptic strength, but the mechanisms underlying this persistent change are unclear and controversial. Synaptic efficacy may be enhanced because more transmitter glutamate is released or because postsynaptic responsiveness increases or both. The purpose of this study was to examine whether increased extracellular glutamate concentration was associated with the robust and well-characterized LTP that can be induced in the rat dentate gyrus. To favor the detection of any putative change in extracellular glutamate associated with LTP, our experimental strategy included the following features. 1) Two separate series of experiments were carried out with animals under pentobarbital or urethan anesthesia; 2) changes in extracellular concentration of glutamate were monitored continuously by microdialysis coupled to enzyme amperometry; and 3) dialysate glutamate levels and changes in the slope of excitatory postsynaptic potential evoked by activation of the perforant path were recorded precisely at the same site. Tetanic stimulation of the perforant path increased persistently test-evoked responses in the dentate gyrus (by 19 and 14% in barbiturate and urethan group, respectively), but there was no glutamate change either during or after LTP induction and no indication of increased glutamate efflux when low-frequency stimulation was applied. The results do not rule out a possible contribution of enhanced glutamate exocytosis to LTP induction and/or maintenance because such a presynaptic change may not be detectable extracellularly. However, our findings and other data supporting the notion that neurotransmitter glutamate may hardly leak out of the synaptic cleft conflict with the hypothesis that LTP could also involve a broad synaptic spillover of glutamate. (+info)Assessment of the effect of amphotericin B on the vitality of Candida albicans. (5/447)
The processes involved in cell death are complex, and individual techniques measure specific fractions of the total population. The interaction of Candida albicans with amphotericin B was measured with fluorescent probes with different cellular affinities. These were used to provide qualitative and quantitative information of physiological parameters which contribute to fungal cell viability. SYBR Green I and 5,(6)-carboxyfluorescein were used to assess membrane integrity, and bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid)trimethine oxonol and 3,3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide were used to evaluate alterations in membrane potential. The fluorescent indicators were compared with replication competency, the conventional indicator of viability. By using these tools, the evaluation of the response of C. albicans to amphotericin B time-kill curves delineated four categories which may represent a continuum between alive and dead. The data showed that replication competency (CFU per milliliter) as determined by conventional antifungal susceptibility techniques provided only an estimate of inhibition. Interpretation of fluorescent staining characteristics indicated that C. albicans cells which were replication incompetent after exposure to greater than 0.5 microgram of amphotericin B per ml still maintained degrees of physiological function. (+info)Comparison of fungal laccases and redox mediators in oxidation of a nonphenolic lignin model compound. (6/447)
Several fungal laccases have been compared for the oxidation of a nonphenolic lignin dimer, 1-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propan-1,3-diol (I), and a phenolic lignin model compound, phenol red, in the presence of the redox mediators 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1-HBT) or violuric acid. The oxidation rates of dimer I by the laccases were in the following order: Trametes villosa laccase (TvL) > Pycnoporus cinnabarinus laccase (PcL) > Botrytis cinerea laccase (BcL) > Myceliophthora thermophila laccase (MtL) in the presence of either 1-HBT or violuric acid. The order is the same if the laccases are used at the same molar concentration or added to the same activity (with ABTS [2, 2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] as a substrate). During the oxidation of dimer I, both 1-HBT and violuric acid were to some extent consumed. Their consumption rates also follow the above order of laccases, i.e., TvL > PcL > BcL > MtL. Violuric acid allowed TvL and PcL to oxidize dimer I much faster than 1-HBT, while BcL and violuric acid oxidized dimer I more slowly than BcL and 1-HBT. The oxidation rate of dimer I is dependent upon both kcat and the stability of the laccase. Both 1-HBT and violuric acid inactivated the laccases, violuric acid to a greater extent than 1-HBT. The presence of dimer I or phenol red in the reaction mixture slowed down this inactivation. The inactivation is mainly due to the reaction of the redox mediator free radical with the laccases. We did not find any relationship between the carbohydrate content of the laccases and their inactivation. When the redox potential of the laccases is in the range of 750 to 800 mV, i.e., above that of the redox mediator, it does not affect kcat and the oxidation rate of dimer I. (+info)Pharmacological evidence for a KATP channel in renin-secreting cells from rat kidney. (7/447)
1. Openers of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel) increase and blockers decrease renin secretion. Here we report the effects of levcromakalim (LCRK, a channel opener) and glibenclamide (GBC, a blocker) on membrane potential, whole-cell current and the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration of renin-secreting cells (RSC). Studies were performed on afferent arterioles from the kidney of Na+-depleted rats. 2. As monitored with the fluorescent oxonol dye DiBAC4(3), LCRK (0.3 and 1 microM) induced a hyperpolarization of approximately 15 mV which was abolished by GBC (1 microM). 3. Whole-cell current-clamp experiments showed that RSC had a membrane potential of -61 +/- 1 mV (n = 16). LCRK (1 microM) induced a hyperpolarization of 9.9 +/- 0.2 mV (n = 16) which, in the majority of cells, decreased slowly with time. 4. Capacitance measurements showed a strong electrical coupling of the cells in the preparation. 5. At -60 mV, LCRK induced a hyperpolarizing current in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 152 +/- 31 nM and a maximum current of about 200 pA. 6. Application of GBC (1 microM) produced no effect; however, when applied after LCRK (300 nM), GBC inhibited the opener-induced hyperpolarizing current with an IC50 of 103 +/- 36 nM. 7. LCRK (0.3 and 1 microM) did not significantly affect the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration either at rest or after stimulation by angiotensin II. 8. The data show that LCRK induces a GBC-sensitive hyperpolarizing current in rat RSC. This current presumably originates from the activation of KATP channels which pharmacologically resemble those in vascular smooth muscle cells. The stimulatory effect of KATP channel opening on renin secretion is not mediated by a decrease in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. (+info)Preparation of barbiturate optical isomers and their effects on GABA(A) receptors. (8/447)
BACKGROUND: Barbiturate anesthetics are optically active and usually exist in two mirror-image enantiomeric forms. Their stereoselective effects in mammals are well known, but remarkably few data are available concerning their effects on anesthetic targets in vitro. This is in part because of the lack of availability of pure barbiturate enantiomers. Such in vitro data could be used to test the relevance of putative molecular targets. METHODS: A high-performance liquid chromatography technique using a permethylated beta-cyclodextrin column was used to separate the optical isomers of three barbiturates in preparative quantities. The effects of the isomers on GABA-induced currents in stably transfected mouse fibroblast cells were investigated using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. RESULTS: Highly purified optical isomers of hexobarbital, pentobarbital, and thiopental were prepared, and their effects were studied on a gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor of defined subunit composition. For each of the three barbiturates, both enantiomers potentiated gamma-aminobutyric acid-induced currents at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, with the S-enantiomer being more potent than the R-enantiomer by a factor of between 1.7 and 3.5. The degree of stereoselectivity did not vary greatly with anesthetic concentration. CONCLUSIONS: The rank order and degree of stereoselectivity that we have observed for the enantiomers of hexobarbital, pentobarbital, and thiopental acting on the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor are entirely consistent with this receptor playing a central role in the anesthetic actions of barbiturates.

Effects of cannabis
The most prevalent psychoactive substances in cannabis are cannabinoids, most notably THC. Some varieties, having undergone careful selection and growing techniques, can yield as much as 34% THC.[16] Another psychoactive cannabinoid present in Cannabis sativa is tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), but it is only found in small amounts and is a cannabinoid antagonist.[17] There are also similar compounds contained in cannabis that do not exhibit any psychoactive response but are obligatory for functionality: cannabidiol (CBD), an isomer of THC; cannabivarin (CBV), an analog of cannabinol (CBN) with a different side chain, cannabidivarin (CBDV), an analog of CBD with a different side chain, and cannabinolic acid. How these other compounds interact with THC is not fully understood. Some clinical studies have proposed that CBD acts as a balancing force to regulate the strength of the psychoactive agent THC. CBD is also believed to regulate the body's metabolism of THC by inactivating cytochrome P450, an ...
Alcohol intoxication
Some religious groups permit the consumption of alcohol. Some permit consumption but prohibit intoxication, while others prohibit alcohol consumption altogether. Many Christian denominations such as Catholic, Orthodox, and Lutheran use wine as a part of the Eucharist and permit the drinking of alcohol but consider it sinful to become intoxicated. In the Bible, the Book of Proverbs contains several chapters dealing with the bad effects of drunkenness and warning to stay away from intoxicating beverages. The book of Leviticus tells of Nadab and Abihu, Aaron the Priest's eldest sons, who were killed for serving in the temple after drinking wine, presumably while intoxicated. The book continues to discuss monasticism where drinking wine is prohibited. The story of Samson in the Book of Judges tells of a monk from the tribe of Dan who is prohibited from cutting his hair and drinking wine.[46] Romans 13:13-14,[47] 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21,[48] and Ephesians 5:18[49] are among a number ...
