Thalidomide: Effects on Enzymes of Glutamic Acid Metabolism in Mice

Abstract: Thalidomide caused no significant alteration in the activity of glutamic decarboxylase in extracts of brain or of glutamic dehydrogenase or glutamic oxalacetic transaminase in extracts of brain or liver when added in vitro or injected into normal mice. Administered to pregnant mice, thalidomide had no effect on the activity of the latter enzymes in extracts of embryos with adhering uterus tissue.

“…Frank et al (1963) found that glutamine contributed to the reversal by nicotinic acid of the toxic effects of thalidomide on protozoa and those of its derivatives containing the phthalimide ring. Hirschberg et al (1964) could find no statistical evidence of alterations in the glutamic dehydrogenase or glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activities of the livers of thalidomide-treated mice, but in every case the livers showed increased enzyme activity. Schumacher et ai.…”
