Abstract
|
|
|
|
When pyrazinamide is used in the treatment of tuberculosis, the measurement of pyrazinoic acid which is an intermediate metabolite of pyrazinamide in body is required in order to prevent its associated side-effects, especially that of hyperuricemia. Effects of vitamin B6 on pyrazinoic acid metabolism were studied in this experiment. The activity of hepatic pyrazinoic acid oxidizing enzyme in the presence of pyridoxal was powerfully inhibited, and the pattern was competitive inhibition type. Whereas, its enzyme activity was significantly increased by the treatment of pyridoxal, and the characteristics of the increase may include induction of enzyme proteins. As mice received pyrazinoic acid(300mg/kg) after pyridoxal-pretreatment(40mg/kg) once daily for 4 days, the blood level of pyrazinoic acid and uric acid was decreased significantly.
