Disease relevance of trientine

 

High impact information on trientine

  • A 20% reduction in sciatic nerve motor conduction velocity after 2 mo diabetes was 90% ameliorated by 2 wk of treatment with deferoxamine or trientine [6].
  • We investigated whether chronic treatment with deferoxamine and trientine, transition metal chelating agents which can prevent autoxidation, could correct nerve conduction and blood flow changes in streptozotocin-diabetic rats [6].
  • In most of the patients the toxic symptoms which forced a change of therapy were reversed on trien therapy; however, elastosis perforans did not seem to benefit, and two patients with penicillamine-induced systemic lupus erythematosus were not helped by the change [7].
  • In the long-term administration of trientine, the incidence of hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC) in the treated rats was 67 percent that of the untreated LEC rats, and the number of HCCs per rat in the treated group was 0.7 +/- 0.5, being significantly lower as compared with 4.7 +/- 3.5 in the untreated rats [8].
  • Trientine caused the Cu balance to become negative in diabetic subjects through elevated urinary Cu losses and suppressed elevated EC-SOD [3].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of trientine

 

Biological context of trientine

  • Kinetics of copper(II)--glycylglycyl-L-histidine reactions. Acid decomposition and proton-assisted nucleophilic displacement by triethylenetetramine [13].
  • These results suggested that Cu plays a pivotal role in tumor development and angiogenesis in the murine HCC cells, and Cu-chelators, especially trientine, could inhibit angiogenesis and enhance apoptosis in the tumor with consequent suppression of the tumor growth in vivo [5].
  • Trientine treatment resulted in a marked suppression of neovascularization and increase of apoptosis in the tumor, whereas tumor cell proliferation itself was not altered [5].
  • They were synthesized in nonaqueous media from triethylenetetramine (TT) by monoalkylation of a primary amino group, followed by exhaustive carboxymethylation of the remaining amino groups using ethyl bromoacetate and subsequent alkaline hydrolysis of the ester [14].
  • However, TETA and TEPA produced significant increases in the amount of UDS activity, and thus were considered positive in inducing primary DNA damage in this assay [15].
 

Anatomical context of trientine

  • In addition, with a myeloid leukemic cell line (HL-60), triethylenetetramine inhibited SOD without causing significant GSH oxidation [16].
  • Reversal treatment (4 weeks untreated diabetes, 4 weeks trientine) did not effect endothelium-dependent relaxation compared with aortas from rats with 4 weeks of diabetes, however, there was a 22.5 +/- 6.2% improvement compared with 8 weeks of diabetes [17].
  • Ca uptake in rat liver mitochondria is accelerated by various aminoglucoside antibiotics and, to a lesser degree, by triethylenetetramine and by protamine [18].
  • Treatment of the rat gastric fundus with the inhibitors of Cu/Zn SOD, diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC, 1 mM for 2 h) or triethylenetetramine (TETA, 100 microM for 2 h) had no effect on the relaxations to NANC nerve stimulation (1-8 Hz), NO (0.03-3 microM) or on those to ATP (10 microM) [19].
  • Here we describe a highly reproducible in vivo model, in which hepatocytes are induced in the pancreas of adult rats that were maintained on copper-deficient diet containing a relatively non-toxic copper-chelating agent, triethylenetetramine tetrahydrochloride (0.6% w/w) for 7-9 weeks and then returned to normal rat chow [20].
