quinacrine and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

quinacrine has been researched along with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in 2 studies

Quinacrine: An acridine derivative formerly widely used as an antimalarial but superseded by chloroquine in recent years. It has also been used as an anthelmintic and in the treatment of giardiasis and malignant effusions. It is used in cell biological experiments as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2.
quinacrine : A member of the class of acridines that is acridine substituted by a chloro group at position 6, a methoxy group at position 2 and a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]nitrilo group at position 9.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A good model of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is intravenously injected phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), which causes pulmonary sequestration of neutrophils and a neutrophil-dependent acute edematous lung injury in rabbits."1.27Mepacrine but not methylprednisolone decreases acute edematous lung injury after injection of phorbol myristate acetate in rabbits. ( Canham, EM; Harada, RN; McMurtry, IF; Repine, JE; Shoemaker, SA; Tate, RM, 1983)
"Peritonitis has been produced in rabbits by the spreading of 5 ml of caecal contents throughout the peritoneal cavity."1.27A phospholipase inhibitor modifies the pulmonary damage associated with peritonitis in rabbits. ( Bennett, ED; Hynd, J; Moss, R; Parker-Williams, J; Tighe, D, 1987)
