Abstract Introduction: In tyrosinemia type I (HT1) accumulation of succinylacetone causes severe hepatic and renal dysfunction and hepatocellular carcinoma, and the only drug used in the treatment is nitisinone (NTBC). While succinylacetone measurement from dried blood spots (DBS) is used in the diagnosis of patients, simultaneous measurements ...

Osteoarticular cells tolerate short-term exposure to nitisinone-implications in alkaptonuria [PDF]
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare genetic disease resulting in severe, rapidly progressing, early onset multi-joint osteoarthropathy. A potential therapy, nitisinone, is being trialled that reduces the causative agent; homogentisic acid (HGA) and in a murine ...

Nitisinone decreases homogentisic acid (HGA) in Alkaptonuria (AKU) by inhibiting the tyrosine metabolic pathway in humans. The effect of different daily doses of nitisinone on circulating and 24 h urinary excretion of phenylalanine (PA), tyrosine (TYR ...

Monitoring tyrosinaemia type I: Blood spot test for nitisinone (NTBC).
Background: Quantification of nitisinone, 2-(nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC) has been repeatedly described. Nevertheless monitoring of NTBC has not yet become part of routine therapy surveillance in tyrosinaemia type I (OMIM ...

Tyrosinemia type I: an unusual case presentation
Background: Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by the fumerylacetoacetate hydrolase enzyme deficiency. It is characterized by liver dysfunction and/ or failure, renal tubular dysfunction.

First Macedonian child with tyrosinemia type 1 successfully treated with nitisinone and report of a novel mutation in the FAH gene [PDF]
Introduction. Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a severe hereditary metabolic disorder of tyrosine metabolism due to fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) deficiency and accumulation of toxic products in tissues. More than 80 mutations in the FAH gene

ABSTRACT Effective chemotherapy for canine histiocytic sarcoma (CHS) has yet to be established. In our previous study, CHS cell lines were subclassified into two groups based on their gene expression profiles: Group A and Group B. This study aimed to identify novel therapeutic agents that are effective against each CHS subgroup, and we performed high ...

Predicting tyrosinaemia: a mathematical model of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibition by nitisinone in rats [PDF]
Nitisinone or 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione, is a reversible inhibitor of 4- hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), an enzyme important in tyrosine catabolism.
