[Comparison of 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine hydrochlorides and iodomethylates by the degree of decrease in curare toxicity]. 1979

V Spasov, and D Getova, and A Spasov

The authors carried out studies on rats with apnoea, indiced by (+)-tubucurarine and found protective action, due to galantamine, neostigmine, hydrochlorides and jodometilates of 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine. Jodmethylates had protective action in larger doses in comparison with the respective hydrochlorides of nonsubstituted pyridilamines. The authors proposed a method for determination and comparison of the effect of compounds, eliminating the action of antidepolarizating myorelaxants, on tubocurarine toxicity.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009388	Neostigmine	A cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike PHYSOSTIGMINE, does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

D003472	Curare	Plant extracts from several species, including genera STRYCHNOS and Chondodendron, which contain TETRAHYDROISOQUINOLINES that produce PARALYSIS of skeletal muscle. These extracts are toxic and must be used with the administration of artificial respiration.
D003643	Death	Irreversible cessation of all bodily functions, manifested by absence of spontaneous breathing and total loss of cardiovascular and cerebral functions.	End Of Life,End-Of-Life,Near-Death Experience,Cardiac Death,Determination of Death,Death, Cardiac

D005702	Galantamine	A benzazepine derived from norbelladine. It is found in GALANTHUS and other AMARYLLIDACEAE. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor that has been used to reverse the muscular effects of GALLAMINE TRIETHIODIDE and TUBOCURARINE and has been studied as a treatment for ALZHEIMER DISEASE and other central nervous system disorders.

D006847	Hydrocarbons, Iodinated	Hydrocarbon compounds with one or more HYDROGEN atoms substituted with IODINE.	Iodinated Hydrocarbons
D006851	Hydrochloric Acid	A strong corrosive acid that is commonly used as a laboratory reagent. It is formed by dissolving hydrogen chloride in water. GASTRIC ACID is the hydrochloric acid component of GASTRIC JUICE.	Hydrogen Chloride,Muriatic Acid,Acid, Hydrochloric,Acid, Muriatic,Chloride, Hydrogen
D000631	Aminopyridines	Pyridines substituted in any position with an amino group. May be hydrogenated but must retain at least one double bond.	Aminopyridine
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.
