Subeffective doses (0.5 mg) of 3H-phencyclidine (PCP) were given intravenously to three healthy men under two regimens designed to alkalinize or acidify their urine (oral sodium bicarbonate or ammonium chloride). The concentrations of PCP and its metabolites in saliva, plasma, and urine for 7 hr after injection were determined by high-performance liquid radiochromatography. A sample of perspiration from one subject was analyzed. The effects of physical exercise on the plasma concentration and urinary excretion of PCP were also studied. Multiple linear regression analysis showed the logarithm of renal clearance the renal clearance of PCP. PCP and its metabolites are also excreted in perspiration. Our results support clinical reports of the importance of vigorous acidification of urine and diuresis in treatment of PCP intoxication.

Biosynthesis of lactacystin as a proteasome inhibitor.
Commun Chem
January 2025
Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, N13-W8, Kita-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, 060-8628, Japan.
Lactacystin is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces lactacystinicus. Despite its importance for its biological activity, the biosynthesis of lactacystin remains unknown. In this study, we identified the lactacystin biosynthetic gene cluster by gene disruption and heterologous expression experiments.

Exposure Patterns of Multiple Pesticides and Urinary Alterations of Trimethylamine (TMA) and Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) among Pregnant Women.
Environ Health (Wash)
March 2024
Key Laboratory of Public Health Safety of Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Health Technology Assessment of National Health Commission, School of Public Health, Fudan University, No. 130 Dong'an Road, Shanghai 200032, China.
Article Synopsis
- Environmental exposure to pesticides is common, especially among pregnant women, and this study explores its potential impact on TMAO, a compound linked to heart and metabolic diseases.
- Researchers examined over 1,000 pregnant women in a rural area using statistical models to identify how different pesticides and their mixtures affect urinary levels of TMA and TMAO.
- They found that certain pesticides, particularly carbofuran phenol, pentachlorophenol, and 2-phenylphenol, were associated with increased levels of TMAO, indicating that pesticide mixtures can significantly alter these metabolites in the body.

Article Synopsis
- Pesticide exposure during childhood can affect neurodevelopment, with varying impacts as children grow.
- The study aimed to track pesticide exposure patterns in children from ages 1 to 10 and link these patterns to behavioral issues at age 10.
- Results revealed three exposure trajectories; children with higher early exposure had increased hyperactivity and inattention issues compared to those with consistently low or fluctuating exposure levels.

Article Synopsis
- * Animal experiments indicated that low doses of PCP can lead to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and disrupt glycemic control, while also revealing non-linear dose-response relationships.
- * Additional analysis showed that PCP exposure alters gut microbiota and serum metabolites, suggesting that these changes might contribute to increased diabetes risk by affecting biosynthesis of amino acids and fatty acids in rats, paving the way for further research on PCP's impact on human diabetes.
