High impact information on Prostigmin

  • In the in vitro study, HSR-803 inhibited cholinesterase dose-dependently, and IC50 was 2.9 x 10(-6) mol/L, while those of neostigmine and domperidone were 2.3 x 10(-8) mol/L and 1.7 x 10(-5) mol/L, respectively [11].
  • In 85% of experiments with guanethidine, neostigmine, glucose, and castor oil, giant migrating contractions occurred before defecation [12].
  • In order to investigate the pathophysiology of this symptom, we studied colonic compliance, as well as motor and myoelectrical activity, in the fasting and postprandial states and after neostigmine stimulation in 9 patients with clinically and electrophysiologically documented complete thoracic spinal cord injury [13].
  • Intraluminally administered neostigmine or atropine did not influence transport in either jejunum or ileum [14].
  • A considerable portal/femoral vein gradient ranging from twofold in the basal state to sevenfold during stimulation with neostigmine indicated that the gut was the main source of circulating VIP [15].

Gene context of Prostigmin

  • In conclusion, cholinergic agonists such as neostigmine are able to increase both basal and GHRH-induced GH secretion in short children even when given intranasally [30].
  • Responses to neurally released ACh were revealed in Sl/Sl(d) mice by inhibiting ACh breakdown with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor neostigmine [31].
  • In conclusion, these results indicate that IT neostigmine facilitates the activation of spinal M2 receptors and this activation ultimately leads to release of adrenal catecholamines which contribute to the anti-inflammatory effect observed at the site of tissue inflammation [32].
  • This possibility was supported by the finding that atropine and pirenzepine which are known to have comparable affinities for M1 but not M2 receptors, had comparable potencies in antagonizing the action of oxotremorine or neostigmine [33].
  • We asked if administration of neostigmine (an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) and/or succinylcholine (an agent which competes for and inhibits butyrylcholinesterase) altered ACh responsiveness in hyporesponsive C3H/HeJ and hyperresponsive A/J mouse strains [34].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Prostigmin

  • Two patients who had an initial response to neostigmine required colonoscopic decompression for recurrence of colonic distention; one eventually underwent subtotal colectomy [2].
  • Thymopoietin and myasthenia gravis: neostigmine-responsive neuromuscular block produced in mice by a synthetic peptide fragment of thymopoietin [35].
  • They failed to demonstrate the postprandial increase in colonic motor and myoelectrical activity observed in a control group (p less than 0.01), but did respond to neostigmine with an increase in both motor and myoelectrical activity (p less than 0.02), suggesting an intact myogenic component [13].
  • A transection and reanastomosis in the mid-small intestine blocked the reflex inhibition by close intraarterial injection of neostigmine beyond the transection site [36].
  • These stimulatory effects of neostigmine on DA efflux in the striatum were confirmed using in vivo microdialysis [37].
