Protective effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate on liver injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion in rats

BACKGROUND: The nuclear translocation of transcription factors may be a critical factor in the intracellular pathway involved in ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in the pathogenesis of liver injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (IIR) and to investigate the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on this liver injury. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were divided randomly into three experimental groups (8 rats in each): sham operation group (control group); intestinal/reperfusion group(I/R group): animals received 1-hour of intestinal ischemia and 2-hour reperfusion; and PDTC treatment group (PDTC group): animals that received I/R subject to PDTC treatment (100 mg/kg). The histological changes in the liver and intestine were observed, and the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nitrite/nitrate (NO) were measured. The immunohistochemical expression and Western blot analysis of liver NF-κB and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) were observed. RESULTS: IIR induced liver injury characterized by the histological changes of liver edema, hemorrhage, polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration, and elevated serum levels of AST and ALT. The serum TNF-α level was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.01) and a high level of liver oxidant product was observed (P<0.01). These changes were parallel to the positive expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1. After the administration of PDTC, the histological changes after liver injury were improved; the levels of SOD and NO in the liver were elevated and reduced, respectively (P<0.01). The expressions of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in the liver were weakened (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: NF-κB plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver injury induced by HR. PDTC, an agent known to inhibit the activation of NF-κB, can reduce and prevent this injury.

Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and saxagliptin ameliorate ulcerative colitis in rats

Objective: To evaluate the antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and saxagliptin in rats with thioacetamide-induced ulcerative colitis. Methods: Animals were orally administered with a vehicle, sulfasalazine(500 mg/kg), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(100 mg/kg), and saxagliptin(10 mg/kg) for two weeks. Ulcerative colitis was induced by a single intrarectal instillation of thioacetamide on day 8. Colon samples were collected to assess mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK), phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK), c AMP response element-binding protein(CREB), interleukin-12(IL-12), caspase-3, β-defensin, inducible nitric oxide synthase(i NOS) and glucagon like peptide-1(GLP-1). Moreover, histopathological examination was performed. Results: Rats treated with thioacetamide caused increases in colonic MAPK, phosphorylated ERK, CREB, caspase-3, IL-12, β-defensin, i NOS, as well as decreases in body weight and GLP-1. In addition, distortion of colonic structure was found by histopathological examination. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and saxagliptin mitigated colitis severity by improving body weight decrease and GLP-1, and reducing colonic MAPK, phosphorylated ERK, CREB, caspase-3, IL-12, β-defensin and i NOS. Conclusions: Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and saxagliptin are efficient against thioacetamide induced colitis through improving inflammatory and oxidative changes.

Pyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate (PDTC) Attenuates Luteolin-Induced Apoptosis in Human Leukemia HL-60 Cells

Studies have indicated that flavonoid luteolin is a potential inhibitor of tumor cell proliferation and may function as an anticarcinogenic agent. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a synthetic compound, may exhibit biphasic effects on apoptosis depending on the experimental context. Previously, we found that luteolin induced the activation of the proapoptotic proteins, such as Bad, Bid, and Bax, in HL-60 human leukemia cells. We also explored the modulatory effects and molecular mechanisms of PDTC on the cytotoxicity of luteolin in HL-60 cells;PDTC could interfere with luteolin’s ability to cleave poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP) and DNA fragmentation of factor-45 (DFF-45). In the current study, we further investigated the effect of PDTC on the luteolin-induced death-receptor pathway and the cleavage of the Bcl-2 family members. We found that the combination of luteolin and PDTC increased the survival of the HL-60 cells such that PDTC inhibited both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in luteolin-induced apoptosis.

The Lead-Chelating Effects of Substituted Dithiocarbamates

The effectiveness of certain substituted dithiocarbamates in mobilizing lead from preexposed rats was investigated.The animals received 10mg Pb/kg/day, intragastrically.for 8 weeks and were treated thereafter with 400μmol/kg, intraperitoneally.of morpholine dithiocarbamate, tetraammonium ethylenediamine diacetic acid dithiocarbamate (EDDTC), ammonium diethanolamine dithiocarbamate (ADDTC), sodium diethyldithiocarbamate.N-benzyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate (NBGDTC), or dimercaptosuccinic acid, daily for 5 days.All the chelating agents were effective in lowering the hepatic and renal burden of Pb.ADDTC.EDDTC, and NBGDTC were also able to lower the long bone Pb content.The lowering of Pb burden had no relationship to restoration of Pb-induced hematopoietic alterations.The relatively lower lipophilicity of substituted dithiocarbamates, owing to the presence of hydrophilic groups, seems to be advantageous in preventing passage of metal chelale into the brain.None of the substituted dithiocarbamates caused excessive excretion of urinary Cu and Zn.ADDTC and EDDTC appear to be promising in the management of Pb poisoning. 1990 Academic Press.Inc.

Investigation of the False Positive Results of Dithiocarbamate Pesticides due to Endogenous Nonpathogenic Carbon Disulfide in Organically Grown Plants (Moringa oleifera)

Moringa plant belongs to the family Moringaceae within the order Brassicales. It is a magical plant which contains 7 timesthe vitamin C content of oranges,4 times the vitamin A content of carrots, 4 times the calcium content of milk ,3 times the potassiumcontent of bananas and 2 times the protein content of yogurt (gram to gram) . The most widely distributed species is Moringa oleiferaLam., referred as drumstick tree for the shape of its seed pods. Leaves of M. oleifera are rich in a unique glucosinolate namedglucomoringin. Moringa were found to release CS2 when submitted to experimental conditions of dithiocarbamate residue analysis.Gas chromatography was used to quantitate CS2 and control samples were obtained from Moringa plantations cultivated inexperimental areas, in which no treatment with fungicides of the dithiocarbamate group was applied. Endogenous CS2 levels werecompared with dithiocarbamate residues measured in Moringa samples from the field trials following applications of the macozeebfungicide. Use small leaves resulted in an observed decrease in CS2 concentration comparable to the large leaves. Temperature levelused has an effect on the concentration of CS2 measured as an indicator for dithiocarbamate pesticide residue. And use of hightemperature (100 °C) in drying of Moringa leaves after harvesting may lead to some biochemical changes that caused an observedincrease in CS2 concentration comparable to drying at (50 °C). Evidence for formation of dithiocarbamate compound from moringinin moringa leaves are metabolized/detoxified principally by the mercapturic acid pathway. Conjugation with glutathione (GSH)promoted by glutathione transferases gives rise to the corresponding Glucosinolate -. Isothiocyanate conjugates. These undergofurther enzymatic modifications to give rise sequentially to the cysteinylglycine cysteine - Isothiocyanate andN-acetylcysteine-Isothiocyanate conjugates, all of which are dithiocarbamates. The detection of an ion with a m/z value 430.40, withthe following fragments m/z 165.10 and m/z 121.05 respectively, among the ions analyzed by GC-MS gives a clear evidence forformation of dithiocarbamate by addition of glutathione to the isothiocyanate formed from glucosinolate in moringa plant.

An electron donor-acceptor photoactivation strategy for the synthesis of S-aryl dithiocarbamates using thianthrenium salts under mild aqueous micellar conditions

An eco-friendly and convenient method is developed herein for the synthesis of S-aryl dithiocarbamates via visible-light-induced SET process of an EDA complex between thianthrenium salt functionalized arenes and dithiocarbamate anions under mild aqueous micellar conditions.This strategy indirectly realizes the method for constructing S-aryl dithiocarbamates through site-selective C−H functionalization of arenes.Most importantly,the reaction proceeded smoothly without addition of any photocatalyst,and the by-product thianthrene is recycled in quantity,ultimately minimizing the production of chemical waste.This protocol provides a promising synthesis candidate for the construction of valuable S-aryl dithiocarbamates,which also opens up a new avenue for micellar photocatalysis.

Performance of dithiocarbamate-type flocculant in treating simulated polymer flooding produced water

Produced water from polymer flooding is difficult to treat due to its high polymer concentration, high viscosity, and emulsified characteristics. The dithiocarbamate flocculant, DTC （T403）, was prepared by the amine-terminated polyoxypropane-effier compound known as Jeffamine-T403. The product was characterized by IR spectra and elemental analysis. The DTC agent chelating with Fe2＋ produced a network polymer matrix, which captured and removed oil droplets efficiently. Oil removal by the flocculent on simulated produced water with 0, 200, 500, 900 mg/L of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide （HPAM） was investigated for aspects of effectiveness of DTC （T403） dosage and concentrations of HPAM and Fe2＋ ions in the wastewater. Results showed that HPAM had a negative influence on oil removal efficiency when DTC （T403） dosage was lower than 20 mg/L. However, residual oil concentrations in tested samples with different concentrations of HPAM all decreased below 10 mg/L when DTC （T403） dosage reached 30 mg/L. The concentration of Fe2＋ in the initial wastewater had a slight effect on oil removal at the range of 2-12 mg/L. Results showed that Fe3＋ could not be used in place of Fe2＋ as Fe3＋ could not react with DTC under flocculated conditions. The effects of mineral salts ions were also investigated.
