Noxythiolin (Noxyflex), aprotinin (Trasylol) and peritoneal adhesion formation: an experimental study in the rat. 1979

A T Raftery

Clinical and experimental studies have suggested that noxythiolin and aprotinin may prevent intraperitoneal adhesion formation. A comparison was therefore made of their efficacy in preventing the reformation of adhesions following surgical lysis in a controlled trial using rats. Neither noxythiolon nor aprotinin had any significant benefit over surgical lysis alone. The mortality rate was high in the noxythiolin-treated group.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007611	Aprotinin	A single-chain polypeptide derived from bovine tissues consisting of 58 amino-acid residues. It is an inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes including CHYMOTRYPSIN; KALLIKREIN; PLASMIN; and TRYPSIN. It is used in the treatment of HEMORRHAGE associated with raised plasma concentrations of plasmin. It is also used to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements in patients at high risk of major blood loss during and following open heart surgery with EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013890	Thiourea	A photographic fixative used also in the manufacture of resins. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck Index, 9th ed).
