Propranolol-induced dyspnea in a nonasthmatic male.

The authors report the onset of wheezing and dyspnea in a 32-year-old, nonasthmatic male who was receiving propranolol for chronic migraine headaches of 20 years' duration. The symptoms first appeared during the "cold season"; the diagnosis was bronchitis. After three months without propranolol, the patient, prompted by continuing migraine headaches, again took the drug (40 mg bid). Within 48 hours he complained of rhinitis that rapidly progressed to wheezing, resembling bronchitis. Other reports in the literature are discussed.

Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of 4-nitropyridine 1-oxide derivatives.

Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of 4-nitropyridine 1-oxide (4-NPO) and 7 kinds of its alkyl derivatives were tested on mice and on Salmonella typhimurium strains and Escherichia coli strains. 3-Methyl-4-NPO is the most potent carcinogen, followed by 3-ethyl-4-NPO and then 4-NPO. Mutagenicity was most potent in 3-methyl, 2,3-dimethyl, and 2,5-dimethyl derivatives, moderate in 4-NPO and 2-methyl and 2,6-dimethyl derivatives, and to a least extent in 3,5-dimethyl-4-NPO. Structure-mutagenicity relationship was discussed on the basis of molecular mechanism of the carcinogenesis of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide. Quantitative relationship between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity was not strictly found among the compounds examined.
