eflornithine and Diarrhea

eflornithine has been researched along with Diarrhea in 5 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Twenty-two patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and severe debilitating diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium received eflornithine as therapy."3.67Intestinal crytosporidiosis treated with eflornithine: a prospective study among patients with AIDS. ( Bodey, GP; Fainstein, V; Rolston, KV, 1989)
"Subacute (2 week) oral or intravenous administration of DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), caused diarrhea and frequent emesis as early as 4 to 5 days in dogs (dose greater than or equal to 200 mg/kg/day)."3.66Intestinal changes caused by DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase. ( Diekema, KA; Gibson, JP; Loudy, DE; McCann, PP; Sprinkle, DJ; Yarrington, JT, 1983)
" This open trial shows that DFMO is as active as and possibly less toxic than melarsoprol."2.67Efficacy and toxicity of eflornithine for treatment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense sleeping sickness. ( Ethier, L; Loko, L; Milord, F; Mpia, B; Pépin, J, 1992)
