Intramuscular loading dose of quinine for falciparum malaria: pharmacokinetics and toxicity. by Wattanagoon, Y, Phillips, R, Warrell, D, Silamut, K, Looareesuwan, S, Nagachinta, B, Back, D

“…In all patients plasma quinine concentrations exceeded the high minimum inhibitory concentration for Plasmodium falciparum malaria prevalent in Thailand within four hours of the start of treatment but did not cause toxicity other than mild cinchonism. When intravenous infusion is not possible an intramuscular quinine loading dose is an effective means of starting treatment in patients with moderately severe falciparum malaria who cannot swallow tablets.…”

Potentiation of TNF-alpha toxicity by conjugation with ricin A-chain. by Gould, D, Foxwell, B, Feldmann, M, Chernajovsky, Y

“…Structural association of the hybrid toxin composed of TNF-alpha and ricin A-chain was confirmed by Western blot analysis. The hybrid toxin was toxic to HeLa cells (IC50=4 pM) not sensitive to native TNF-alpha, and sensitive WEHI cells with substantially increased lethality (LD50=0.01 fM). …”

Pharmacology and toxicity of nicotinamide combined with domperidone during fractionated radiotherapy. by Bussink, J, Stratford, MR, van der Kogel, A, Folkes, L, Kaanders, J
