The antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive activity of HEPIDA-Ca and HEPIDA-Zn complex compounds.

The authors investigated the immunological and pharmacological activity of N-/2, 4-dimethylacetanilido/iminodiacetic complex compounds with calcium and zinc (HEPIDA-Ca and HEPIDA-Zn). An antiinflammatory, therapeutic effect of these compounds and also an immunosuppressive action were observed. Both complex compounds inhibited the GvH reaction in rats and attenuated the transplantation barrier.

Studies on the influence of cysteine derivatives on the cell-mediated immunity.

The study concerns the effect of cysteine derivatives and its hydrazides on cell mediated immunity. Cysteine derivatives appeared to exert marked suppressive influence on development and course of post-adjuvant polyarthritis in rats. L-cysteine hydrazides prolonged skin allograft survival time in rats to higher degree than cysteine. The results of in vitro experiments point to the inhibition of the non-stimulated and stimulated PHA incorporation of 3H-thymidine by lymphocytes. It was observed that cysteine derivatives examined, and mainly its hydrazides, exert stronger than cysteine suppressive effect on cell mediated immune response.

L-cysteine hydrazide--its pharmacological and immunosuppressive activity.

The authors investigated the immunological and pharmacological activity of l-cysteine hydrazide. It was found, that the preparation exhibited an interesting immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect, which was evoked by the interference of the drug in nucleic acids and by stabilization of the cell membranes. Moreover it diminished the number of T lymphocytes. L-cysteine hydrazide showed no significant side effects. The authors discussed the possibility of its application in clinical therapy.

Influence of the cysteine derivatives on the cell-mediated immunity.

The immunosuppressive action of N,N, S-trimethyl-cysteine, S-methyl-L-cysteine hydrazide hydrochloride and L-cysteine hydrazide on the course of post-adjuvant polyarthritis, graft-versus-host reaction, turpentine oedema and incorporation of 3H-thymidine into spontaneous or PHA stimulated lymphocyte cultures was examined. Inhibition of post-adjuvant polyarthritis and prolongation of skin allograft survival time were observed. L-cysteine hydrazide had shown the most inhibiting action. In vitro, S-methyl-L-cysteine hydrazide hydrochloride decreased and N,N, S-trimethyl-cysteine increased the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into the lymphocyte cultures stimulated by PHA. The obtained results were compared with the action of DL-cysteine hydrochloride.
