    Notes: Summary Fibrin(ogen) degradation products, platelet counts, antithrombin III, and the components of the Factor VIII complex were studied in a total of 80 patients with Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax or Plasmodium ovale infections. The haemostatic findings were correlated to the numbers of parasitized erythrocytes and to each other. The results indicate that haemostatic changes in malaria correlate with the degree of parasitaemia. Evidence for moderate hyperfibrinolysis was found in patients with high P. falciparum parasitaemias only. Thrombocytopenia closely corresponded to parasitaemia and to von Willebrand factor levels, but appeared not to be linked to a consumption of coagulation factors. It was concluded that thrombocytopenia in malaria is not indicative of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) but may relate to endothelial damage.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Probenecid bewirkt bei Ratten einen dosisabhängigen Anstieg der Konzentration von zyklischem Adenosin-3′, 5′-Monophosphat (cAMP) im zisternalen Liquor. Maximaler Anstieg durch Sättigung des Anionencarriers erfolgt 2 h nach einer Dosis von 150 mg/kg Körpergewicht. Am isolierten Plexus chorioideus läßt sich eine überwiegend kompetitive Hemmung der Aufnahme von cAMP nachweisen. Probenecid hemmt ferner nichtkompetitiv eine für cAMP hochaffine Phosphodiesterase des Rattenhirns mit einer Inhibitorkonstante von 3.4×10−3M. Nachdem Probenecid als Testsubstanz in der neurologisch-psychiatrischen Diagnostik für die Untersuchung des Dopamin- und Serotonin-Umsatzes im Liquor bereits vielfach eingesetzt wird, stützen diese Befunde seine Verwendbarkeit auch für cAMP als second messenger.
    Notes: Summary In rats, probenecid exhibits a dose-dependent increase in the concentration of cyclic adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate (cAMP) in cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Maximal accumulation is reached 2 h after IP administration at a dosage of 150 mg/kg body weight. Serum levels of cAMP are unchanged after 200 mg/kg probenecid. In vitro investigations show an inhibitory effect of probenecid on the uptake of cAMP into the isolated choroid plexus of the rabbit. A non-competetive inhibition of probenecid on a high affinity fraction of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from rat brain homogenates is demonstrated with an inhibitor constant of 3.4×10−3M. The results appear to validitate the “probenecid test” for cAMP in clinical diagnostics.
