    Notes: Abstract. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the abil-ity of S1319 (4-hydroxy-7-[1-(1-hydroxy-2-methylamino) ethyl]-1,3-benzothiazol-2(3H)-one acetate), a novel β 2-adrenoceptor selective agonist derived from marine sponge, to inhibit IgE-mediated activation of human cultured mast cells (HCMC) in vitro.¶Materials and Methods: We examined the effect of S1319 (racemate) on tryptase release and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) production in HCMC generated from human cord blood cells, after cross-linking of high affinity immunoglobulin E receptors (FcεRI), compared with those of the non-selective β-adrenoceptor agonist, isoproterenol (R-isomer), the selective β 2-adrenoceptor agonist, salbutamol (racemate), and the selective and long-acting β 2-adrenoceptor agonist, formoterol (racemate). We also evaluated the effect of S1319 on the intracellular cAMP level, inositol phosphate production and protein tyrosine phosphorylation in HCMC.¶Results: S1319 and β-adrenoceptor agonists inhibited the IgE-mediated release of tryptase. Approximate IC50 values of S1319, formoterol, isoproterenol and albuterol for the inhibition of tryptase release were 0.51 ± 0.12, 0.15 ± 0.1, 0.80 ± 0.09, and 28 ± 32.4 nM, respectively. S1319 and β-adrenoceptor agonists also inhibited TNF-α production by HCMC in a concentration-dependent manner. Approximate IC50 values of S1319, formoterol and isoproterenol for the inhibition of TNF-α production were 0.19 ± 0.03, 0.28 ± 0.02 and 0.32 ± 0.03 nM, respectively. S1319 caused a concentration-dependent increase in total cell cyclic AMP levels in HCMC. On the other hand, S1319 inhibited the accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and IgE-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 42-kDa protein, p42 mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase (ERK-2).¶Conclusion: These results indicate that S1319 and β-adrenoceptor agonists are potent inhibitors of the IgE-mediated release of mediators from HCMC.

    Notes: Summary Disseminated fungal infection not infrequently complicates the course of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo BMT) in severely immunocompromised patients, and the prognosis of BMT patients who develop systemic fungal infection is very poor. We describe a patient who developed disseminatedCandida albicans infection with liver abscess after the first allo BMT for acute myelogenous leukemia (FAB M2). The infection was successfully eradicated by the administration of miconazole and amphotericin B. However, 1 year after the first allo BMT, the patient suffered a relapse of acute myelogenous leukemia with fungal liver abscess. A second allo BMT, accelerating granulocyte recovery by recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), was successfully performed and the fungal liver abscess resolved with a combination therapy of fluconazole and amphotericin B. The patient is alive and free of both leukemia and fungal disease more than 37 months after the first allo BMT and 25 months after the second allo BMT.
