5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antidotes

Agents counteracting or neutralizing the action of POISONS. (See all compounds classified as Antidotes.)


Emetics

Agents that cause vomiting. They may act directly on the gastrointestinal tract, bringing about emesis through local irritant effects, or indirectly, through their effects on the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the postremal area near the medulla. (See all compounds classified as Emetics.)


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

AFTER ADMIN COPPER(II) SULFATE, PENTAHYDRATE FOR 7 DAYS IP, COPPER ACCUMULATED IN MITOCHONDRIAL & LYSOSOMAL FRACTIONS OF RAT LIVER, MAINLY IN LYSOSOMES.

FELDMAN G ET AL; BIOL GASTRO-ENTEROL 5 (1): 37 (1972)


5.3 Mechanism of Action

HUMAN RBC INCUBATED WITH COPPER SULFATE WERE TESTED FOR OSMOTIC FRAGILITY, DEFORMABILITY, & ELECTROPHORETIC PROPERTIES OF MEMBRANE PROTEINS. COPPER TREATMENT OXIDIZED THE -SH OF THE MEMBRANE PROTEINS TO FORM INTERMOLECULAR DISULFIDE BONDS, CAUSING A REDUCTION IN MEMBRANE FLEXIBILITY. /COPPER SULFATE/

NAKASHIMA K ET AL; BIOMED RES 1 (6): 548-551 (1981)


COPPER SULFATE INJECTED IP AT 2 MG COPPER/KG INTO VITAMIN E & SELENIUM DEFICIENT RATS CAUSED A 6 FOLD INCREASE IN THE FORMATION OF THE LIPID PEROXIDATION PRODUCT ETHANE, & CAUSED ACUTE MORTALITY IN 4/5 RATS. SELENIUM SUPPLEMENTATION OF THE DIET AT 0.5 PPM SELENIUM PREVENTED THE INCREASE IN ETHANE PRODUCTION CAUSED BY COPPER INJECTION & REDUCED MORTALITY TO 1/5 RATS. THE CORRELATION OF INCREASED PRODUCTION OF ETHANE WITH INCREASED MORTALITY SUGGESTED THAT LIPID PEROXIDATION MAY BE IMPORTANT IN THE INCREASED TOXICITY OF COPPER IN VITAMIN E & SELENIUM DEFICIENT RATS. /COPPER SULFATE/
