Although, the dexamethasone have been used for the managements, against various ailments as single API or in combination with other drugs as acetate or palmitate salt. However, Dexamethasone as palmitate salt has not been investigated so far for sub acute toxicity on intravenous administration. Therefore, an attempt has been made to investigate sub-acute toxicity of dexamethasone palmitate injection. The drug was administered in experimental animals at different dose levels (0.07, 0.18 and 0.44 mg/kg, b.w.), for 28 days, and alteration in biochemical and haematological parameters was recorded along with histological examinations. The result data revealed that intravenous administration of dexamethasone palmitate does not causes any significant alteration in experimental animals examined at different levels. The observed changes were either well established adverse effects of Dexamethasone or were in laboratory reference range limit. The intravenous administered doses of drug were found safer, although somewhat adverse reactions may be observed at higher dose level (s).

We examined whether activated protein C (APC) reduces ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)–induced renal injury by inhibiting leukocyte activation. In a rat model, intravenous administration of APC markedly reduced I/R-induced renal dysfunction and histological changes, whereas intravenous administration of dansyl glutamylglycylarginyl chloromethyl ketone–treated factor Xa (DEGR-FXa; active-site–blocked factor Xa), heparin or diisopropyl fluorophosphate–treated APC (DIP-APC; inactive derivative of ARC) had no effect. Furthermore, APC significantly inhibited the I/R-induced decrease in renal tissue blood flow and the increase in the vascular permeability, whereas neither DEGR-FXa, heparin, nor DIP-APC produced such effects. Renal I/R-induced increases in plasma levels of fibrin degradation products were significantly inhibited by APC, DEGR-FXa, and heparin. These observations suggest that APC reduces I/R-induced renal injury independently of its anticoagulant effects but in a manner dependent on its serine protease activity. Renal levels of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), rat interleukin-8, and myeloperoxidase were significantly increased after renal I/R. These increases were significantly inhibited by APC but not by DEGR-FXa, heparin, or DIP-APC. Leukocytopenia produced effects similar to those of APC. These findings strongly suggest that APC protects against I/R-induced renal injury not by inhibiting coagulation abnormalities but by inhibiting activation of leukocytes that play an important role in I/R-induced renal injury. Inhibition of leukocyte activation by APC could be explained by the inhibitory activity of TNF-.

Phenylamino-1,2 propanediol (PAP) and its mono-oleoyl ester have been identified in samples of the cooking oil thought to be responsible for the Toxic Oil Syndrome (TOS) which occurred in Spain in 1981. The acute toxicity of PAP and its mono-oleoyl ester have been examined in rats and mice, after daily administration for periods of up to 14 days to determine whether these compounds could produce any of the pathologies of TOS. Even at the highest dose, the 1-mono-oleoyl ester of 3-phenylamino-1,2 propanediol did not cause any toxicity in rats or mice when given intraperitoneally. 3-Phenylamino-1,2 propane diol, however, was toxic when administered to rats by this route. After 6-10 consecutive daily doses of PAP, at the highest dose administered (350 mg kg-1), all of the rats became unwell. Postmortem examination showed that the major pathology present was massive pulmonary throm boembolism. Further investigations of the toxicity of PAP after intravenous administration showed that it was not directly vasotoxic. The pulmonary thromboembolism seen with intraperitoneally administered PAP was due to the toxic effect of PAP on the mesenteric tissue and blood ves sels, causing thrombosis which subsequently embolised the blood vessels in the lung. Intra-gastric administration of PAP caused no toxicity in rats. Comparatively, the pathology seen after intraperitoneal administration of PAP was not thought to be representative of the pathology of the toxic oil syndrome in man.
