“…The reasons for this difference are unclear; however, a pharmaco dynamic interaction between nitrofurantoin and spironolactone is biologically plausible, because the former may suppress aldosterone levels. 25 Our study has important clinical implications. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and spironolactone are commonly prescribed medications, and the likelihood of co-prescription is high.…”

“…9 This finding may reflect a selection bias, whereby patients at high risk of sudden death are preferentially prescribed nitrofurantoin rather than trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Alternatively, some data suggest that nitrofurantoin dramatically reduces aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, 25 which implies a mechanistically different interaction between spironolactone and nitrofurantoin that predisposes susceptible patients to hyperkalemia and sudden death. However, as noted earlier, the association between nitrofurantoin and sudden death should be interpreted in light of the discrepant findings of our sensitivity analysis.…”

“…In vitro experiments show that nitrofurantoin inhibits steroid biosynthesis, resulting in a 50% reduction in aldosterone release from adrenocortical cells. 28 An additional, previously underappreciated drug interaction may thus exist between nitrofurantoin and spironolactone that may predispose susceptible patients to hyperkalaemia.…”

“…Eles apresentam ativação associada à sua redução química/biológica com a mais extensa aplicação clínica e esta redução é um pré-requisito de toda sua atividade biológica [Jager et al, 1997;Tocher, 1997]. A redução do grupo nitro na ausência de oxigênio está associada à sua toxicidade seletiva e a possíveis ações mutagênicas, pois o composto reduzido causa a desestabilização ou até mesmo a quebra da hélice do DNA [Hogg e Kalyanaraman, 1999].…”

“…As atividades bactericidas e antiinflamatórias dos compostos nitroheterocíclicos são bastante estudadas [Suntres e Shek, 1992;Degterev et al, 1993Degterev et al, , 1999aJager et al, 1997;Makareyeva et al, 1997]. Foi descoberto também que a fotoativação dos nitrofuranos provoca efeitos colaterais, tais como reações alérgicas e anemias hemolíticas [Borisevitch e Degterev, 1992].…”
