In 17 patients who more than 1 year ago had suffered from a dihydralazine induced hepatitis the biotransformation velocity was investigated and compared with a healthy control group. 15 out of the 17 patients and 5 out of the 10 volunteers are slow acetylators. All slow acetylators eliminate sulfamethazine more slowly than rapid acetylators.--The elimination of caffeine and metamizol--test substances for oxidative biotransformation reactions--was retarded in patients after dihydralazine induced hepatitis in comparison to control persons. Slow acetylators have to be controlled carefully because of their higher risk of dihydralazine induced drug hepatitis.

Background: Hypertension in pregnancy causes significant maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. A comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs for severe hypertension during pregnancy is needed to make informed decisions in clinical practice. This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of antihypertensive drugs in severe hypertension during pregnancy.

Macrodomains are a class of conserved ADP-ribosylhydrolases expressed by viruses of pandemic concern, including coronaviruses and alphaviruses. Viral macrodomains are critical for replication and virus-induced pathogenesis; therefore, these enzymes are a promising target for antiviral therapy. However, no potent or selective viral macrodomain inhibitors currently exist, in part due to the lack of a high-throughput assay for this class of enzymes.

Determination of dihydralazine based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer of hollow carbon nanodots.

The famous weak chemiluminescence (CL) system of potassium permanganate and sodium bisulfite (KMnO-HSO) was enhanced by the hollow fluorescent carbon nanodots (HCNs). The investigation of mechanism revealed that the enhanced CL was induced by the excited-state HCNs (HCNs), which could be produced from the electron-transfer annihilation of positively charged HCNs (HCNs) and negatively charged HCNs (HCNs) as well as by CL resonance energy transfer (CRET) from excited SO (SO)/O to HCNs. The dihydralazine sulfate (DHZS) had a diminishing effect on the CL of HCNs-KMnO-HSO system due to the competitive consumption of O.

Hyperglycemia results in the activation of tissue angiotensin II. Angiotensin II stimulates the synthesis of ECM proteins and causes a decrease activity of proteolytic enzymes. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of multilevel blocking of the RAAS, cathepsin B activity, and fibronectin accumulation in the glomerular in the rats diabetes model.
