Iodide urinary

Since this first study revealed in the majority of the academies a low iodide urinary excretion and a low iodine content of the culinary salt we tried 7 years later to evaluate the possible improvement of this situation. 

A 1,8-naphthyridine, nalidixic acid (39), shows clinically useful antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria as such, the drug is used in the treatment of infections of the urinary tract. Condensation of ethoxymethylenemalonate with 2-amino-6-methylpyridine (36) proceeds directly to the naphthyri-dine (38) the first step in this transformation probably involves an addition-elimination reaction to afford the intermediate, 37. W-Ethylation with ethyl iodide and base followed by saponification then affords nalidixic acid (39). 

The biologic half-lives of the five salts of 2-PAM calculated from both the data on plasma concentrations at various times after Ingestion and those on urinary excretion are given in Table 4. The table demonstrates that the iodide was cleared from the plasma more slowly than the other salts and that the dihydrogen phosphate was cleared from the plasma a little more rapidly than the others. 

Loop diuretics are useful in treating toxic ingestions of bromide, fluoride, and iodide, which are reabsorbed in the TAL. Saline solution must be administered to replace urinary losses of Na+ and to provide , so as to avoid extracellular fluid volume depletion. 

The inhalation of trace amounts of [ 32i]niethyl iodide was followed by a decrease in plasma radioactivity, a thyroid uptake pattern and urinary excretion that were similar to those observed after oral administration of inorganic iodide (LARC, 1986). 

Data from several experiments with rats suggest that absorbed methyl iodide is excreted mainly in bile. Approximately 25% of an oral dose of 50 mg/kg bw was excreted in bile as 5-methylglutathione, while 2% of the same subcutaneous dose was recovered from urine and 1% of a 76 mg/kg bw oral dose was present, unchanged, in expired air within 30 min. The urinary metabolites detected in rats after subcutaneous injection, presumed to originate from. S -inethylglutathione, were. S -mcthylcysteine, A-acetyl-.S-methylcysteine, 5-methylthioacetic acid and jV-(methylthioacetyl)glycine (IARC, 1986). 

A number of muscarinic agonists and antagonists are launched or in clinical trials, especially as antiemetics (e.g. scopolamine), as treatment for urinary incontinence (e.g. tolterodine), glaucoma (pilocarpine), and airway diseases (e.g. ipratropium bromide), but, to the best of our knowledge, only few are used as adjuvants in analgesic compositions, e.g. tiemonium iodide which is used in various combinations with analgesics like paracetamol or metamizole (Coffalon , Visceralgine ). 

Although it is claimed to be relatively free of effects usually attributed to anticholinergic activity, trazodone does cause complaints of dry mouth and blurred vision, which may be mediated through its actions on alpha-adrenoceptors. Urinary retention has been reported in a 69-year-old woman taking a combination of trazodone and an anticholinergic drug (isopropamide iodide) (15). Cholinergic overactivity has also been described in two patients after withdrawal (16). 

The presence of isopropamide iodide in some over-the-counter cold remedies, for example alongside antihistamines, should be borne in mind as a hidden cause of urinary retention. 

Metabolic studies with I-labeled Ethiodol indicated that the iodized oil was rapidly deiodinated by enzymes in tissues with the iodine appearing as inorganic iodide, which was excreted by the kidney. In humans, no more than 0.5%of the injected iodized oil was found in the blood at any one time, and the urinary excretion was less than 2.5% of the dose per day (159). The most serious side effect of the iodized oils is pulmonary or systemic embolization and granuloma formation (160), which is related to the particle size of the oily drops (150,157), but Kupffer cells can actively capture and phagocytize the iodized oil droplets (161). 

When l-[14C]methyl-pyridinium aldoxime iodide or radioactive pralidoxime [14C]-labelled in the oxime group was parenterally administrated to rats, 90% of the radioactivity was recovered in urine and 6% in the faeces, irrespective of the position of the label. About 90% of the urinary radioactivity was associated with intact pralidoxime. In addition, some 5% of the dose was excreted as l-methyl-2-pyridone, indicating some cyanogenesis (Enandcret al., 1962). In humans, the l-methyl-2-cyanopyridinium ion was detected in urine of male volunteers without significantly increased urinary thiocyanate. Since 90% of pralidoxime chloride, 5 mg kg 1 IV, was recovered from urine, cyanide formation is probably of no toxicological concern (Garrigue etal., 1990). 

Chemiluminescence (CL) methods assure good results for analysis of body fluids and tissues. This is demonstrated by urinary iodide,185 cholesterol,186 and serum glucose187 assay. The CL method has had a major impact on all forms of DNA diagnostic techniques.188 189 NMR spectroscopy can also be used for in vivo measurements for diagnosis of illness. For example, the relationships between fiber composition and NMR assessment in human... 

There are no case reports of toxicity in man for monoalkyltin compounds. Diiodo diethyl tin contaminated with 10% triethyl-tin iodide in STALINON capsules (a preparation proposed for the treatment of furuncles) caused 100 fatalities in France between 1953 and 1954. The lesion was an interstitial edema of the white matter of the brain, and the symptoms included headache, vertigo, psychic and visual disturbances, hypothermia, loss of vigilance, paresthesia, vomiting, abdominal pain, urinary retention, tremors, and convulsions. Another 100 patients survived the intoxication, but presented headaches and weakness over a period of several years (Alajouanine etal. 1958)... 

Urinary iodide was measured using paired-ion reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection employing a silver working electrode (Rendl etal., 1994). A detection limit of 5 pg was achieved.
