Toxicity of morphazinamide compared with pyrazinamide.

L Zítková, J Stastná, J Tousek

    Czechoslovak Medicine
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Morphazinamide (MZA) and pyrazinamide (PZA) are both hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic drugs. MZA is not a suitable substitute for PZA due to its own toxicity and PZA accumulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Pharmacology
    • Drug Development

    Background:

    • Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a first-line antituberculosis drug known for its hepatotoxicity.
    • Morphazinamide (MZA) has been investigated as a potential substitute for PZA.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the toxicological profiles of MZA and PZA in rats.
    • To evaluate the suitability of MZA as a safer alternative to PZA.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats were administered MZA or PZA at a dose of 2.5 g/kg body weight.
    • Body weight, food intake, and biochemical parameters (blood and liver tissue) were monitored.
    • PZA concentrations in blood and tissues were measured over 24 hours after repeated MZA administration.

    Main Results:

    • Both MZA and PZA significantly altered rat weight, food intake, and biochemical markers.
    • MZA administration led to PZA accumulation in blood and organs.
    • Both drugs exhibited hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity at high doses.
    • MZA also caused decreased plasmatic iron and spleen atrophy.

    Conclusions:

    • MZA and PZA share similar toxic effects, including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.
    • MZA is not a suitable substitute for PZA due to its own adverse effects and potential for PZA accumulation.
