nomifensine and Pituitary Neoplasms

nomifensine has been researched along with Pituitary Neoplasms in 41 studies

Nomifensine: An isoquinoline derivative that prevents dopamine reuptake into synaptosomes. The maleate was formerly used in the treatment of depression. It was withdrawn worldwide in 1986 due to the risk of acute hemolytic anemia with intravascular hemolysis resulting from its use. In some cases, renal failure also developed. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p266)
nomifensine : An N-methylated tetrahydroisoquinoline carrying phenyl and amino substituents at positions C-4 and C-8, respectively.

Pituitary Neoplasms: Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A group of 17 hyperprolactinemic women was given 200 mg of nomifensine orally to evaluate its diagnostic potential to discriminate between tumors and nontumorous hyperprolactinemia."7.66Nomifensine test does not differentiate hyperprolactinemia associated with and without radiologic abnormalities in the sella turcica. ( Ablanedo, J; Canales, ES; Cano, C; Zárate, A, 1981)
"To verify the diagnostic capacity of some dynamic tests of the prolactin (Prl) secretion, the findings obtained by high-resolution computed tomography (CT) were compared with results obtained from tests using nomifensine (NOM) domperidone (DOM) and thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) in 72 patients with pathological hyperprolactinaemia."3.67Comparison between pituitary computed tomographic findings and tests of hypothalamo-pituitary function in 72 patients with hyperprolactinaemia. ( Bianchi, SD; Camanni, F; Ciccarelli, E; Gatti, G; Ghigo, E; Massara, F; Molinatti, GM; Müller, EE, 1986)
" Twenty-six women diagnosed by dynamic tests and radiologic examination as having PRL-secreting adenoma were treated surgically (15) or with bromocriptine (11) and their condition was evaluated one to three years later by TRH, nomifensine, and domperidone tests."3.67Prolactin secretion after surgery or bromocriptine treatment of prolactinoma. ( D'Antona, N; Danero, S; De Leo, V; Genazzani, AR; Petraglia, F; Sardelli, S, 1987)
"A group of 17 hyperprolactinemic women was given 200 mg of nomifensine orally to evaluate its diagnostic potential to discriminate between tumors and nontumorous hyperprolactinemia."3.66Nomifensine test does not differentiate hyperprolactinemia associated with and without radiologic abnormalities in the sella turcica. ( Ablanedo, J; Canales, ES; Cano, C; Zárate, A, 1981)
"Nomifensine failed to suppress the serum PRL in all subjects and PRL responses to TRH and insulin-induced hypoglycemia were impaired in all patients, irrespective of the origin of hyperprolactinemia."1.27Nomifensine, TRH and insulin-induced hypoglycemia tests in the diagnosis of prolactinomas. ( Fachinetti, A; Fachinetti, P; Iannotta, F; Pinotti, G; Usellini, L, 1983)
"The normality of the GH-ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors and hypothalamic tumor responses to TRH is one more factor in differentiating these from prolactinomas."1.27Evidence of abnormal dopaminergic control of prolactin in patients with hypothalamic and pituitary tumors. ( Almoguera, I; Cabranes, JA; Charro, AL; del Olmo, J; Pablos, I; Prensa, A, 1986)
"Domperidone did not increase PRL in about a third of acromegalic patients, while TRH increased PRL in the all normoprolactinemic acromegalic patients."1.27Disturbed prolactin responses to dopamine-related substances in patients with acromegaly and hyperprolactinemia. ( Ibayashi, H; Ikuyama, S; Karashima, T; Kato, K; Muta, K; Sekiya, K, 1985)
"Nomifensine has recently been proposed as a dynamic test to discriminate tumoral from functional hyperprolactinaemia."1.26Some critical considerations on the use of the nomifensine test in the hyperprolactinaemic syndrome. ( Aliffi, A; D'Agata, R; Gulizia, S; Mongioì, A; Vicari, E; Volpicelli, D, 1981)
