The pyrazolone derivatives antipyrine and 4-(N,N-dimethyl)-aminoantipyrine (aminopyrine) have long been used as analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, in spite of its recognized therapeutic benefits, the use of pyrazolones has been associated with agranulocytosis. Though the oxidation of aminopyrine by neutrophil-generated hypochlorous acid (HOCl), leading to the formation of a cation radical, has been considered responsible for the potential bone marrow toxicity, the reaction mechanisms of pyrazolones against other reactive oxygen species (ROS) remains elusive. Thus, the reactions of 4-aminoantipyrine and methylated derivatives with hydroxyl radicals (HO*) were studied as a model of their reactivity against ROS. The results show that 4-(N,N-dimethyl)-aminoantipyrine (aminopyrine) undergoes demethylation when reacting with HO. radical, leading to 4-(N-methyl)-aminoantipyrine, which is further demethylated to 4-aminoantipyrine. In addition, it was also observed that another favorable reaction of 4-aminoantipyrines in these conditions is the hydroxylation on the aromatic ring, a reaction that is common to aminopyrine, 4-(N-methyl)-aminoantipyrine, and 4-aminoantipyrine. Whether these reaction mechanisms give rise to harmful reactive intermediates requires further chemico-biological evaluation.

The development of advanced optical probes for point-of-care testing holds great importance in the field of diagnostic technologies. This study focused on the synthesis of a probe featuring both fluorescent and photothermal responses with single excitation wavelength, which was achieved through the combination of oxidized camellia oleifera shell powder (OC) and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs). Notably, OC derived from the direct processing of raw material showed fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions simultaneously, and the positions of the two peaks overlapped with the absorbance range of PBNPs, making the fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions of OC effectively quenched by PBNPs.

Metamizole (dipyrone) is a non-opioid analgesic widely used in human and veterinary medicine, despite ongoing concerns about its safety due to risks such as agranulocytosis and potential hepatotoxicity. This study investigates the cytotoxic (MTT assay) and pro-apoptotic effects of metamizole and its primary metabolites, 4-methylaminoantipyrine (4-MAA) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA), on the LX-2 liver cell line. These metabolites are implicated in both the therapeutic and adverse effects of the drug.

The colorimetric point-of-care test (POCT) offers a rapid and efficient method for detecting specific targets in real samples. However, traditional colorimetric methods often rely on complex signal amplification techniques or electronic devices to enhance detection sensitivity, which can inadvertently increase both cost and time, thus contradicting the fundamental goals of visual detection methods. Here, we presented a distance-based fluorescent immunosensor that utilized a gas-producing nanozyme for continuous gas production reaction as a signal.

Purpose: This study aimed to summarize the evidence on the teratogenic effects of dipyrone used during pregnancy.
Methods: Databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, Lilacs, SciELO, SCOPUS, OasisBR, and OpenGray) were reviewed until September 2023. We included studies that compared pregnant women who used dipyrone during any gestational period with those who used other analgesics or did not use any analgesics during the same gestational period.
