A Simple Procedure For Determining The Aqueous Half-Lives Of Pyrrolic Metabolites Of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, R. A. Cooper, R. J. Huxtable Apr 1996

A Simple Procedure For Determining The Aqueous Half-Lives Of Pyrrolic Metabolites Of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, R. A. Cooper, R. J. Huxtable

Roland A. Cooper

We report a simple and rapid procedure for estimating the aqueous half-lives of the reactive metabolites of pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are responsible for toxicity. The metabolites (dehydroalkaloids; DHAs) were rapidly added to a 0.5 mM HEPES solution, pH 8.0. The subsequent fall in pH, due to ester hydrolysis, was followed potentiometrically. The change in pH was well described by single-component exponential decay, allowing the derivation of rate constants and half-lives of hydrolysis. Half-lives varied from 0.31 sec for dehydro-7-acetyllycopsamine to 5.36 sec for dehydrotrichodesmine. The results support the view that alkaloids whose DHA metabolites have longer half-lives produce greater extrahepatic …

Physicochemical And Metabolic Basis For The Differing Neurotoxicity Of The Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, Trichodesmine And Monocrotaline, R. J. Huxtable, C. C. Yan, S. Wild, S. Maxwell, Roland Cooper Jan 1996

Physicochemical And Metabolic Basis For The Differing Neurotoxicity Of The Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, Trichodesmine And Monocrotaline, R. J. Huxtable, C. C. Yan, S. Wild, S. Maxwell, Roland Cooper

Roland A. Cooper

Monocrotaline and trichodesmine are structurally closely related pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) exhibiting different extrahepatic toxicities, trichodesmine being neurotoxic (LD(50) 57 mu mol/kg) and monocrotaline pneumotoxic (LD(50) 335 mu mol/kg). We have compared certain physicochemical properties and metabolic activities of these two PAs in order to understand the quantitative and qualitative differences in toxicity. Both PAs were metabolized in the isolated, perfused rat liver to highly reactive pyrrolic dehydroalkaloids that appear to be responsible for the toxicity of PAs. More dehydrotrichodesmine (468 nmol/g liver) than dehydromonocrotaline (116 nmol/g liver) was released from liver into perfusate on perfusion for 1 hr with 0.5 …

Interviewing As A Teaching Strategy For Promoting Cultural Sensitivity, Ida Slusher, C. Newel-Withrow Dec 1995

Interviewing As A Teaching Strategy For Promoting Cultural Sensitivity, Ida Slusher, C. Newel-Withrow

Ida Slusher

Interviewing was found to be an excellent teaching strategy in the promotion of cultural sensitivity in the course described in this article. Students were active learners in the acquisition of knowledge and critical thinkers in the analysis of the knowledge. Leininger (1991) emphasized the need for cultural sensitivity and cultural specific care in assisting supporting, facilitating, and/or enabling "individuals or groups to maintain or regain their well being (or health) in culturally meaningful and beneficial ways, or to help people face handicaps or death" (p.47). The need for further research on teaching strategies for promoting cultural sensitivity and on interviewing …
