Disease relevance of Propanidid

  • An adverse reaction to the intravenous anaesthetic agent propanidid is described in which the main features were hypotension, facial erythema, and abdominal pain [1].
  • Contact dermatitis due to propanidid in an anesthetist [2].
  • The depression of arterial pressure caused by propanidid is moderated by two compensatory mechanisms: normal barostatic reflexes causing an increased sympathetic tone in response to hypotension and a vagolytic action of propanidid [3].
  • A further dose of propanidid (1 mg/kg body weight) was administered 3 minutes after the initial injection of this drug, as a means of preventing maternal awareness during equilibration with the anaesthetic gas mixture [4].
 

High impact information on Propanidid

  • Unlike barbiturates, propanidid did not stimulate the binding of [3H]flunitrazepam to membranes [5].
  • Enhancement of [3H]muscimol binding was observed only in the presence of Cl- ions, half-maximal activation being achieved at approx. 40 mM-Cl-. Picrotoxinin inhibited the stimulation of [3H]muscimol binding by propanidid with an IC50 (concentration causing 50% inhibition) value of approx. 25 microM [5].
  • Propanidid (1 mM) exerted little effect on the affinity of muscimol binding (KD approx. 10 nM), but increased the apparent number of high-affinity binding sites in the membrane by 2-fold [5].
  • On the other hand, the general lipophilic anaesthetics, propanidid and althesin, led to an increase, by 70 and 32%, respectively, while the local anaesthetic, procaine, led to a decrease by 20%, in the fluidity of the erythrocyte membrane [6].
  • The two closely related enzymes that are responsible for the microsomal hydrolysis of palmitoyl-CoA and long chain monoacylglycerides exhibit the highest propanidid-and aspirin-cleaving rates [7].
