Abstract

This paper deals with the application of an AI language, based on mechanical theorem prover (PROLOG), to deduce drug interactions. One hundred and thirty-one drug interactions were predicted by logical deduction with a program system comprising about 52 drugs in practice and 32 independent possibilities of deduction. The database of the system contains the chemical and pharmaceutical characteristics of the active components of the drug preparations, and the deductions are based on general pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic or other biochemical relationships concerning interactions.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
