Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate protects against thioacetamide-induced fulminant hepatic failure in rats
Journal of Hepatology, 2002Reactive oxygen species and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cell injury in experimental models of liver damage. The aim of the present study was to examine whether pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an anti oxidant and inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation, would prevent hepatic damage induced in a

Potentiation of bacterial killing activity of zinc chloride by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate
The Journal of Microbiology, 2010Zinc has antimicrobial activity and zinc salts including zinc chloride (ZnCl(2)) have been used for the control of oral malodor. In this study, we hypothesized that pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a zinc ionophore, may enhance antimicrobial efficacy of ZnCl(2).

Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate improves mortality in a rat model of severe hemorrhage
Journal of Surgical Research, 2013Hemorrhagic shock is a life threatening condition characterized by diminishing organ function. The aim of this study was to determine whether an effective pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) treatment protocol could be established to decrease organ dysfunction and mortality in a lethal hemorrhagic shock-resuscitation (HSR) model.Sprague-Dawley rats were

Effects of Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate on apoptosis
2007Pyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a metal chelating compound with antioxidant properties. PDTC is a copper and zinc ionophore and exerts many different effects in biological systems. It is able to inhibit the activation of NFB, the replication of picornaviruses and proteasome-dependent proteolysis.

Effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate on endothelial cells: protection against oxidative stress
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 1999The dithiocarbamates are well known for their antioxidant properties and effects on cellular transcriptional events. For example, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is widely used as an inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) and this, or related compounds may have therapeutic potential in inhibiting atherosclerosis.

Repeated exposure to pyrrolidine-dithiocarbamate induces peripheral nerve alterations in rats
Toxicology Letters, 2005Pyrrolidine-dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a synthetic compound widely used in cell biological investigations, recently attracted considerable interest as a putative anticancer agent. However, different dithiocarbamates have previously shown to cause neurological symptoms and morphological alterations in peripheral nerves. The purpose of the present study was

PYRROLIDINE DITHIOCARBAMATE IMPROVES THE SEPTIC SHOCK SYNDROMES IN SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RATS
Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1998SUMMARY1. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of nuclear factor‐kB (NF‐kB), on septic shock induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).2.

Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate attenuates the development of acute and chronic inflammation.
British journal of pharmacology, 2002The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor which plays a pivotal role in the induction of genes involved in physiological processes as well as in the response to injury and inflammation. Dithiocarbamates are antioxidants which are potent inhibitors of NF-kappaB.
