Effects of SKF 525-A, phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene on the toxicity of lobeline sulfate. 1985

H L Kim

Pretreatment of mice with the microsomal enzyme inducers and inhibitors modified the toxicity of lobeline sulfate. The intraperitoneal LD50 of lobeline sulfate following SKF 525-A (75 mg/kg), phenobarbital (PB), and 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) were 18.3, 85.5 and 82.1 mg/kg, respectively, as compared to that of saline treated controls, 55.3 mg/kg. Pretreatment of mice with disulfiram (DSF), diethylmaleate (DEM), or ethoxyquin hydrochloride (EQ-HC1) exhibited a very slight effect on the toxicity of lobeline sulfate. These results suggest that the hepatic microsomal monooxygenase system, but not glutathione (GSH), is involved in the detoxication of lobeline sulfate.

D008120	Lobeline	An alkaloid that has actions similar to NICOTINE on nicotinic cholinergic receptors but is less potent. It has been proposed for a variety of therapeutic uses including in respiratory disorders, peripheral vascular disorders, insomnia, and smoking cessation.	Lobeline Sulfate,Smokeless,Sulfate, Lobeline
D008658	Inactivation, Metabolic	Reduction of pharmacologic activity or toxicity of a drug or other foreign substance by a living system, usually by enzymatic action. It includes those metabolic transformations that make the substance more soluble for faster renal excretion.

D010634	Phenobarbital	A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.

D004221	Disulfiram	A carbamate derivative used as an alcohol deterrent. It is a relatively nontoxic substance when administered alone, but markedly alters the intermediary metabolism of alcohol. When alcohol is ingested after administration of disulfiram, blood acetaldehyde concentrations are increased, followed by flushing, systemic vasodilation, respiratory difficulties, nausea, hypotension, and other symptoms (acetaldehyde syndrome). It acts by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenase.
