The effect of complexes of lidocaine with zinc, copper and cobalt on histamine release from peritoneal rat mast cells induced by various secretagogues was investigated. The complexes of lidocaine with metal ions inhibited histamine release induced by compound 48/80 and ionophoreous antibiotics: A23187 and X537A. The ionic complex of lidocaine with zinc was found to be the most potent against 48/80--induced histamine release and exerted the significant inhibition in the concentration of 10(-5) M. The action of coordination complex of lidocaine with zinc was somewhat weaker. The significant inhibitory effect on 48/80-induced histamine release of the copper and cobalt lidocaine complexes was observed in concentration of 10(-4) M. Histamine release by ionophores A23187 and X537A was also affected by zinc lidocaine complexes. However, coordination complex had more potent action on histamine release than the ionic one.

Upon stimulation and activation, mast cells (MCs) release soluble mediators, including histamine, proteases, and cytokines. These mediators are often stored within cytoplasmic granules in MCs and may be released in a granulated form. The secretion of cytokines and chemokines occurs within hours following activation, with the potential to result in chronic inflammation.

Disruption of cholinesterases and, as a consequence, increased levels of acetylcholine lead to serious disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system, including death. The need for rapid administration of an antidote to restore esterase activity is critical, but practical implementation of this is often difficult. One promising solution may be the development of antidote delivery systems that will release the drug only when acetylcholine levels are elevated.

Background: Patients with hematological malignancies are at high-risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Oral vancomycin is a first-line treatment for CDI. Vancomycin has been widely reported to induce flushing syndrome (also known as Red man syndrome), a well-known hypersensitivity reaction mostly occurs after intravenous administration.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifaceted inflammatory skin condition characterized by the involvement of various cell types, such as keratinocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and mast cells. Research indicates that flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial in the management of AD. However, the investigation of the glycoside forms for anti-AD therapy is limited.
