[Reporter Lin Huiqin/Taipei Report]Acetaminophen (APAP), an analgesic drug commonly used for antipyretic and analgesic, is used during the epidemic in response to symptoms caused by Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) or vaccination. almost become a reserve drug in every family, but at the “2022 International Symposium on Poisoning Prevention Research and Development” held today, experts reminded that overdose can lead to the risk of liver damage, and also new domestic research progress they shed light on the direction of detox.
APAP is a common cause of drug-induced acute liver failure worldwide. It is mainly due to the metabolism of the cytochrome P450 hepatic enzyme to produce the highly active toxic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). normal dose can usually be compared with glutathione (glutathione) ) combined to form non-toxic metabolites that are excreted by the kidneys, but if glutathione is depleted at a toxic dose, it can cause liver cell necrosis.
Hu Youpu, a professor at the National Defense Medical College, pointed out that a new formula “SNP-810” developed in China has been found through animal experiments to eliminate liver damage and abnormal pathological findings caused by high-dose APAP in rats and mice, even after taking the full dose. Up to 8000 mg/kg, which is equivalent to 70 kg of humans, still survived after taking 90 grams.
Hu Youpu explained that further research has found that SNP-810 can reduce the formation of NAPQI, and is now developing safe drugs, hoping not only to eliminate toxic metabolites, but also to inhibit the formation of toxic metabolites.
Dr. Richard C. Dart, former president of the American Association of Poison Control Centers and director of the American Rocky Mountain Poison Drug Center, said APAP also had a transient increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) at the therapeutic dose registered mail. A study in Colorado showed 204 subjects received 4 grams of APAP daily for at least 16 days. ALT was greater than 60 units/L at any time during monitoring, a total of 25 and a total of 179 did not increase . Allantoate, ornithine and other material differences, and further understand the relevant mechanisms.
In the seminar, Dr. Winai Wananukul, director of the Ramatibodi Poison Center in Thailand, shared that the explosive growth of e-commerce has made it easy for people who want to harm themselves to come into contact with toxic substances. suffered from sudden cardiovascular failure, a middle-aged man with hypotension and cardiac arrest, a young man with severe vomiting and abdominal pain after taking white powder, and finally determined that the exposed substances were potassium cyanide, sodium azide and hen mother of pearl powder , which were obtained by the patient through online shopping Substances, reminding that there should be countermeasures.
The Foundation for Poison Prevention and Development, Beirong Occupational Medicine and the Department of Clinical Toxicology yesterday held the “2022 International Symposium on Poison Prevention Research and Development-New Trends in Clinical Poisoning” for two consecutive days. In addition to the online participation of 2 Scholars British, there were also twelve experts from the United States, France, Norway, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and other places who came to Taiwan to discuss many important poisoning issues such as the abuse of drugs, poisonous snake bites and terrorist poisoning.
