We studied the in vitro effect of dipyrone on the determination of free triiodothyronine (free T3), cortisol, progesterone, estradiol, carcinoembryonic antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein measured with an immunoenzyme assay based on enhanced luminescence that uses peroxidase as label. We found significant interference from dipyrone (p < 0.01) in the determination of all the analytes mentioned: for progesterone and estradiol the interference was present at high doses of dipyrone; for free T3 and cortisol the minimum dipyrone concentration producing interference was 712 mumol/l and for carcinoembryonic antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein 44 mumol/l. Dipyrone has an analytically and statistically significant interference effect on the determination of the mentioned analytes.

Ferroptosis is a form of non-apoptotic cell death, regulated by phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a selenoprotein with a selenocysteine residue (sec) in the active site. GPX4 is a promising target for cancer cells in therapy-resistant conditions via ferroptosis, which can reduce the level of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). So far, all existing GPX4 inhibitors covalently bind to GPX4 via a reactive alkyl chloride moiety or masked nitrile-oxide electrophiles with poor selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties and most were obtained by cell phenotype-based screening.

Backgraund: There is evidence that the adverse effects of metamizole occur due to the effect of the drug on the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, and therefore, the disruption of hematopoiesis. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the effects of metamizole on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells using cell culture techniques.

Material And Methods: In our study, samples were taken from stem cell products of healthy allogeneic stem cell transplant donors.

Aims: Metamizole (dipyrone) is a prodrug not detectable in serum or urine after oral ingestion. The primary metabolite, 4-methylaminoantipyrine (4-MAA), can be N-demethylated to 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) or oxidized to 4-formylaminoantipyrine (4-FAA) by cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent reactions. We aimed to identify the CYPs involved in 4-MAA metabolism and to quantify the effect of CYP inhibition on 4-MAA metabolism.
