Synergistic effects of Miconazole and Polymyxin B on microbial pathogens

The therapeutic value of antibiotics depends on the susceptibility of the infecting microorganism and the pharmacological profile of the drugs. To assess the value of an antibiotic combination of polymyxin B and miconazole this study examined the in vitro synergistic potential of the two drugs on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and yeast. Antifungal and antibacterial activity was tested by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of broth macrodilution and urea broth microdilution, by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Synergism was calculated using the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICi). With Staphylococcus intermedius as target we found up to an eightfold reduction of the individual MICs when both drugs were combined. However, the FICi was 0.63 suggesting no real interaction between the two drugs. With Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Malassezia pachydermatis as targets the antimicrobial drug combination reduced the MICs of polymyxin B and miconazole from fourfold to hundredfold resulting in FICi between 0.06 and 0.5 which defines a synergistic action. Thus, if polymyxin B and miconazole are combined their effect is greater than the sum of the effects observed with polymyxin B and miconazole independently, revealing bactericidal and fungicidal synergism. Our results indicate a strong therapeutic value for the combination of these antimicrobial agents against Gram-negative bacteria and yeast and a weaker value against Gram positive bacteria for clinical situations where these pathogens are involved.     

肝龙胶囊联合水飞蓟宾胶囊对肝纤维化大鼠的治疗作用

观察肝龙胶囊联合水飞蓟宾胶囊对肝纤维化大鼠的治疗效果,探讨肝龙胶囊是否对水飞蓟宾胶囊抗肝纤维化具有增效的作用。用猪血清制备大鼠肝纤维化模型,水飞蓟宾胶囊临床给药剂量单用及联合不同剂量肝龙胶囊处理肝纤维化大鼠,通过试剂盒及酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测大鼠血清和肝组织内肝纤维化标志物透明质酸(hyaluronic acid,HA)、层黏素(laminin,LN)、血清Ⅲ型前胶原氨基端肽(procollagenⅢN-termi,PCⅢ)、Ⅳ型胶原(typeⅣcollagen,Ⅳ-C)及转化生长因子β1(transforming growth factor-β,TGF-β1)、Ⅰ型胶原(collagen typeⅠ,Col-Ⅰ)的含量,以及肝脏内丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)、谷草转氨酶(glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase,AST)、谷丙转氨酶(Cereal third transaminase,ALT)、γ-谷氨酰转肽酶(γ-glutamyl transpeptidase,γ-GT)的含量。与模型组比较,各治疗组中大鼠血清肝纤维化标志物的含量均低于模型组(P<0.05);肝龙胶囊与水飞蓟素联合用药与单用水飞蓟宾组相比,可使大鼠血清内HA和TGF-β1的含量显著降低(P<0.05);大鼠肝脏组织中除PCⅢ外,其余血清肝纤维化标志物的含量治疗组均低于模型组。肝组织中的γ-GT和ALT高剂量联合给药组显著降低,AST无显著差异,MDA中剂量联合给药组显著升高。说明肝龙胶囊可增强水飞蓟宾胶囊对猪血清性肝纤维化大鼠的抗肝纤维化作用。     

Synergism of insecticides provides evidence of metabolic mechanisms of resistance in the obliquebanded leafroller Choristoneura rosaceana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

The interactions between six insecticides (indoxacarb, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, azinphosmethyl, tebufenozide and chlorfenapyr) and three potential synergists, (piperonyl butoxide (PBO), S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF) and diethyl maleate (DEM)) were studied by dietary exposure in a multi-resistant and a susceptible strain of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris). The synergists did not produce appreciable synergism with most of the insecticides in the susceptible strain. Except for tebufenozide, PBO synergized all the insecticides to varying degrees in the resistant strain. A very high level of synergism by PBO was found with indoxacarb, which reduced the resistance level from 705- to 20-fold when PBO was administered alone and to around 10-fold when used in combination with DEF. DEF also synergized indoxacarb, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, azinphosmethyl and tebufenozide in the resistant strain. DEM produced synergism of indoxacarb, chlorpyrifos, azinphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr in the resistant strain. DEM was highly synergistic to cypermethrin, and to some extent to tebufenozide in both the susceptible and resistant strains equally, implying that detoxification by glutathione S-transferases was not a mechanism of resistance for these insecticides. The high level of synergism seen with DEM in the case of cypermethrin may be due to an increase in oxidative stress resulting from the removal of the antioxidant, glutathione. These studies indicate that enhanced detoxification, often mediated by cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases, but with probable esterase and glutathione S-transferase contributions in some cases, is the major mechanism imparting resistance to different insecticides in C. rosaceana.

Synergistic interaction of physcion and chrysophanol on plant powdery mildew

The extract of the plant Rheum officinale Baill, mainly containing the anthraquinones physcion and chrysophanol, is highly active against plant powdery mildew. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory and greenhouse to determine the interaction of the two compounds on cucumber powdery mildew [Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht.) Poll] and on wheat powdery mildew [Blumeria graminis (DC.) Speer f. sp. tritici Marchal]. Physcion was much more bioactive than chrysophanol against these powdery mildews. There was a significant synergistic interaction between the two compounds on the diseases when the ratios of physcion to chrysophanol ranged from 1:9 to 5:5. The synergistic degree increased with increase in the chrysophanol proportion in the combination. The findings indicate that, in order to ensure constant efficacy of the extract on the disease, both the contents and the proportion of the main active ingredients physcion and chrysophanol have to be determined.
