title: [Effect of sanazole and metrinidazole on production of reactive oxygen species by macrophages].
abstract: The in vitro effect of sanazole (AK-2123; N-(2'-methoxyethyl)-2-[3"-nitro-1"-triazolyl]acetamide) and metronidazole (1-beta-hydroxyethyl-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole) on phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated and spontaneous (without stimulation by PMA) production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by peritoneal and splenic murine macrophages was studied. ROS production was analyzed using fluorescent probe 2',7'-dichlorofluoresceine diacetate (DCFH-DA). An increase in the spontaneous production of ROS by macrophagal cells with therapeutic concentration of sanazole (0.6-1.25 mM) in the incubation medium was observed. At these concentrations metronidazole had no effect on spontaneous production of ROS by macrophagal cells. PMA-stimulated ROS production was inhibited by high concentrations (2.5-10 mM) of sanazole and metronidazole. The spontaneous generation of ROS by peritoneal macrophages was stimulated by sanazole at all tested concentrations (0.6-10 mM).
