Quinine

Properties of QDP are comparable to those of a substituted carbostyril, for, although carbostyril itself reacts with diazomethane to give an Omethyl ether, the acidity decreases with substitution, and 6-methoxy-4methylcarbostyril does not react with diazomethane. Moreover carbostyrils are not smoothly oxidized under acid conditions 7 ; , which accounts for the fact that attempts to obtain recognizable oxidation products of QDP were unsuccessful. The slight basicity of the carbostyril nitrogen in QDP explains the nitrosamine test as well as the fact that on prolonged treatment with methyl iodide a solution of QDP becomes acid, without doubt by liberation of HI, although the N-methyl ether was not isolated. There remain two experimental observations for which a satisfactory explanation cannot be offered at this time, although neither observation necessarily conflicts with the structure II ; for QDP. The first of these is that QDP apparently does not isomerize to a quinicine-like structure as does quinine. This may be due to the altered quinoline ring in QDP, since any rearrangement involving the grouping -CgHOH-C8H-NI I might well be influenced by a change in the quinoline portion of the molecule from that of structure I ; to II ; The second is the formation of the compound with a melting point of 179-180" by the action of an excess of The analytical results are in benzenesulfonyl chloride on QDP in alkali. close agreement with the calculated values for the empirical formula C58H, j8N401&. This empirical formula could be accounted for on the assumption that the reactants have combined in any one of several proportions; e.g., 2 moles of QDP plus 3 moles of benzenesulfonyl chloride plus 4 moles of water with loss of 3 moles of HCI, or 2 moles of QDP plus 3 moles of benzenesulfonic acid plus 1 mole of HzO. However, it has not been possible to writ, e a structure which properly accounts for any such combination. The significant fact is that the compound is not likely to involve an S-N linkage, since QDP was recovered quantitatively after mild acid hydrolysis. Quinine and quinidine block a number of voltage-gated conductances in the horizontal cells, including those selective for potassium, sodium, and calcium ions. However, these alkaloids also appeared to promote an increase in membrane conductance when the horizontal cells were held at potentials more positive than 0 mV. The outward current elicited under these conditions turned off rapidly upon repolarization of the cell to a holding potential of -70 mV. Tail-current analysis indicated that the alkaloid-induced current had a reversal potential very close to 0 mV. The outward current elicited by quinine and quinidine was blocked by 4 mA4 cobalt or a halothane-saturated Ringer solution, and was also reduced by acidification of the cells via the application of 25 mA4 acetate. Moreover, depolarization in the presence of quinine or quinidine permitted entry into the cells of extracellularly applied Lucifer yellow. In sum, the large, apparently nonselective nature of the conductance suggestedby the tail current analysis, coupled with the block by halothane, cobalt, and acetate agents known to suppress gapjunctional communication between cells ; , and the influx of extracellularly applied Lucifer yellow, have led us to suggest that the current elicited by these drugs results from the opening of hemi-gap junctional channels. Several reports have indicated that large increasesin internal calcium i.e., 1 ; lead to the closure of gap junctions and a reduction in electrical communication between pairs of electrically coupled cells 1, 2 ; . On the other hand, the results of recent studies suggestthat gap junctions are permeant to calcium ions when intracellular calcium concentrations are below 1 PLM 3, 4 ; . We have recently undertaken experiments to examine whether the conductance opened in the presenceof the cinchona alkaloids is permeant to calcium. Using ratio imaging of the calcium-sensitive dye fura-2, we found that depolarizing horizontal cells in the presenceof 200 pA4 quinidine evoked a large increasein the level of intracellular calcium Fig. 1 this increase occurred despite the presence of the calcium channel blocker nifedipine 100 ; . Whether the increase in intracellular calcium results solely from the influx of extracellular calcium, or whether there is also a releaseof calcium from internal stores, are questions as yet unresolved. Nevertheless, our data raise the possibility that hemi-gap junctional channels are permeable to calcium ions.

Methoxazole content nor one containing 100 or 200 , ug of this drug gave any alteration in the shape of the zone around the trimethoprim disk with E. coli 114 R46 ; data not shown ; . A disk content of 50 , g sulfamethoxazole discriminated between the sulfamethoxaxole-resistant strains which showed synergy; in addition, the suitable laboratory media antagonize sulfamethoxazole by approximately 2.5 times 2 ; , thus giving an effective trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole ratio of about 1: 20. Distance between disks. The susceptibility tests were repeated with separate disks of 1 , ug trimethoprim and 50 , ug of sulfamethoxazole with their centers between 15 and 40 mm apart. The results Fig. 3 ; showed that with susceptible E. coli 114, the spacing of the disks was crucial. At 15 or apart, the disks were too close. These include treatment for drug addiction, sexually transmitted diseases, family planning, occupational health services for labourers and general health services in all health facilities.

With a loading dose and patients should be monitored for hypoglycaemia, a most important side-effect of cinchona alkaloids. There is some evidence of increasing resistance to uqinine therapy especially in Thailand and Vietnam. The difficulty in administration of intravenous infusion in rural areas and greater chance of hypoglycaemia favour use of artemisinin and its derivatives. Qinghaosu artemisinin - an ancient Chinese herbal medicine ; and its derivatives have been used successfully in treating of severe falciparum malaria. Their rapid effectiveness in eliminating parasites has been extensively documented. Large, randomised comparisons of artemether with quiinne in African children Gambian and Kenyan children ; with cerebral malaria and Vietnamese adults with severe falciparum malaria have confirmed that artemether is as effective as quinin in reducing case fatality. Coma was significantly prolonged in the artemether-treated groups in two of these studies. Some reported a faster clearance with artemether than with quinine, 4 5 whereas others found no difference.6 1718 Time to start oral intake and time to sit unsupported The clinical outcomes of times to starting oral intake and sitting unsupported were similar in both groups. Most studies comparing rectal artemether with intravenous quinine were in adults, and these outcome measures were not documented.4 5 Hence there are no studies with which to compare the current results. Adverse events Both drugs had few side effects. Vomiting was more common in the quinine group, but the difference did not reach significance P 0.24 ; . Persistent hypoglycaemia was seen in one child receiving quinine. This patient had poor liver function before starting treatment and died within 12 hours of admission despite intravenous 25% dextrose in water given every four hours. Strict, two hourly feeding could explain the low incidence of hypoglycaemia. Renal and liver function tests and haematological variables, which were altered on admission, improved in both groups. This agrees with other studies5 6 17 18 and reiterates the fact that neither drug has any adverse effects on these functions. We did not observe unwanted side effects of artemether suppogels, such as tenesmus after bowel irritation. This finding is at odds with observations on adults receiving rectal artemether in Ethiopia, 4 possibly because adults are more likely to report variations in their body function. Mortality was higher in the quinine group than in the artemether group 10 52 v 51; relative risk 1.29, 95% confidence interval 0.84 to 2.01 ; . The reason for the lower death rate with artemether is not clear. Several trials in south east Asian adults with severe malaria indicated that treatment with artemesinin derivatives might halve mortality.12 13 The overall fatality rate of 15.5% is comparable to that of other cerebral malaria studies: 17% in Kenya6 and 15% in Malawi.19 and tretinoin.
Beware of the dangerous use of homeopathic drugs, which aren't active and may be the cause of lethal evolution. B. On the other side, one must realise that at present a 100 % protection is no longer possible at this moment, as there isn't any method available to prevent completely malaria. All measures are aimed at reducing the risk of a malaria-attack to a minimum and for this reason, hence ALL MEASURES HAVE TO BE APPLIED TOGETHER. Since the risk is not anymore zero, THE INFORMATION ABOUT CORRECT TREATMENT DURING A POSSIBLE ATTACK IS INDISPENSABLE. Thus the strategy to be followed by anyone who stays in a malaria area, is based on the following 3 interventions: 1 ; measures to prevent contact with the malaria mosquito external protection by mosquito net, mosquito lotion ; as well as 2 ; internal measures: tablets chemoprophylaxis ; , that aim to prevent a malaria attack, and also 3 ; CORRECT AND TIMELY TREATMENT IN CASE OF BREAKTHROUGH MALARIA i.e. malaria in spite of taking tablets correctly ; . NB. So far, there is no vaccination available. Usually, for a traveller on land in the case of breakthrough malaria, prompt treatment is available, and we see at regular intervals cases of acute falciparum malaria in seamen who, thanks to their reception in the ports can be helped quickly and efficiently. However in the event of an attack at sea, things are quite different and it is really of paramount importance to give the appropriate treatment correctly and in time. If not, there is a major risk for the patient to die. In ports we sometimes encounter sailors with serious symptoms of falciparum malaria arriving in a pre-coma state. Urgent hospitalisation and correct treatment can only save them. They usually come from the West or East Coast of Africa. In Lisbon three seamen died after a trip along the West Coast of Africa. Better information and treatment could have saved their lives. It happened before that we were able to help with specific malaria advice over the radio, and even to hinder that ships were needlessly led to unforeseen harbours for hospitalisation for the sick sailor. When the patient is still able to swallow medication, we know that most of them can be treated on board with quinine and doxycycline see further ; . All seamen who were treated on board for suspected malaria have to consult when possible with blood slides ; the PORT DOCTOR in the next port because of: blood-examination and blood-slides blood smear ; , etc. hospitalisation in case of serious symptoms briefing on board about good anti-malaria preventive measures on board In consideration of the discussions on board and the frequent occurrence of malaria with seamen we realise there is a great need for up-to-date knowledge about MALARIA TREATMENT IN CASE OF BREAKTHROUGH MALARIA. Only knowledge of the disease and or updated guidelines written in an appropriate and comprehensive text can in conjunction with radiomedical advice ; help to save the life of a seaman with severe falciparum malaria. For this reason, viz. to protect himself and his crew, the necessary guidelines are described in this text. At the same time we refer to the "MEDICAL GUIDE FOR SHIP'S CAPTAINS" and other WHO papers. It is the responsibility of EVERY SEAMAN to prevent malaria, both for him and his fellow crewmembers. THIS TEXT is written for the captain and the officers but in fact even so for every sailor or seaman and every person travelling in the tropics ; , to protect himself and his crew in the best possible way.
