Metaprot, Trekrezan and Polyoxidonium in rat macrophage assays

Study of multiple preparations

Peritoneal macrophage luminescence, 40 minutes
292 ± 5% at 0.1 mM each; 38 ± 2% at 20 mM eachTrekrezan plus Metaprot, relative to saline control (100%).Both marked p < 0.05 vs control.
Alveolar macrophage luminescence, 40 minutes
302 ± 15% with Metaprot; 20 ± 2% with Metaprot plus Trekrezan20 mM per included agent, relative to saline control.Each marked p < 0.05 vs control.
Polyoxidonium in alveolar macrophages, 40 minutes
163 ± 16% at 500 µg/mL; 69 ± 4% at 1,500 µg/mLRelative to saline control.Both marked p < 0.05 vs control.

After 40 minutes, low-concentration Trekrezan plus Metaprot raised peritoneal macrophage chemiluminescence to 292% of saline control. With the higher concentrations it fell to 38%.

Study notes · methods, sources and limitations

Participants or model Isolated peritoneal and alveolar macrophages from rats. The paper labels each results table n = 10.

Design The assay used 10 million cells per cuvette and a saline reference normalized to 100%. Metaprot and Trekrezan were tested at 0.1 or 20 mM, Polyoxidonium at 500 or 1,500 µg/mL, and combinations at matched low or high concentrations. Luminescence was recorded after 20 and 40 minutes of incubation.

Important limitations

  • Chemiluminescence is a superoxide-related assay signal. It does not measure infection resistance or a clinical immune response. The significance labels compare conditions with saline. They do not test an interaction between the two drugs.
  • The direction changed with concentration and cell source. The authors did not test pharmacological synergy.

Trekrezan and Polyoxidonium in experimental bronchopulmonary inflammation

Study of multiple preparations

Lymphocyte and lung metabolites

Polyoxidonium’s metabolic response was more pronounced in lung tissueQualitative description. The abstract describes a stronger general metabolic effect with Trekrezan.
Lymphocyte immune status
Improvement described with both drugsNo effect sizes in the abstract.

Both preparations were associated with lower lactate and higher pyruvate and ATP in blood lymphocytes and lung tissue.

Study notes · methods, sources and limitations

Participants or model Wistar rats with turpentine-induced bronchopulmonary inflammation.

Design The abstract describes a tracheal turpentine model, comparing Trekrezan 25 mg/kg with Polyoxidonium 0.75 mg/kg. It omits the drug administration route and timing.

Zarubina IV, Shabanov PD · Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine; 2015 Dec

In rat bronchopulmonary inflammation, combined Polyoxidonium and Metaprot showed a greater antioxidant effect than either alone. In macrophage assays, the direction of the biochemiluminescence response depended on concentration.
