Methods: Peritoneal macrophages were obtained from 14 cases of patients with endometriosis. Danazol at concentration of 10 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml were added to the peritoneal macrophages cultures. The tumor necrosis factor a (TNFα)and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels of peritoneal macrophage supernatant were detected by enzyme linked immunoassay. Results: Danazol at concentration of 100 ng/ml significantly inhibited TNFα and IL-6 production of peritoneal macrophages in patients with endometriosis. Conclusion: It is suggested that the immunomodulatory effect of danazol may contributed to the efficacy in the treatment of endometriosis.展开更多

In addition, to date the cellular site and mechanism of action of danazol at the cardiovascular level is very confusing. In order to clarify those phenomena in this study, a danazol derivative was synthesized with the objective of evaluating its activity on perfusion pressure and coronary resistance and comparing this phenomenon with the effect exerted by danazol. The Langendorff technique was used to measure changes on perfusion pressure and coronary resistance in an isolated rat heart model in the absence or presence of danazol and its derivative. Additionally, to characterize the molecular mechanism involved in the inotropic activity induced by danazol derivative was evaluated by measuring left ventricular pressure in the absence or presence of following compounds;flutamide, prazosin, metoprolol, indomethacin and nifedipine. The results showed that danazol derivative significantly increased the perfusion pressure and coronary resistance in comparison with the control conditions and danazol. Additionally, other data indicate that the danazol derivative increases left ventricular pressure in a dose-dependent manner;nevertheless, this phenomenon was significantly inhibited by flutamide. These data suggest that danazol derivative induces positive inotropic activity through of the activation androgen receptor.展开更多
