Adenosine is a nucleoside that is composed of adenine and d-ribose, occurring in all cells of the body and play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard (adenosine injection) is used as an initial treatment for the termination of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PVST), including that associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome). When clinically advisable, appropriate vagal maneuvers. Adenocard does not convert atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, or ventricular tachycardia to normal sinus rhythm. In the presence of atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation, a transient modest slowing of ventricular response may occur immediately following Adenocard administration. Adenosine slows conduction time through the A-V node, can interrupt the reentry pathways through the A-V node, and can restore normal sinus rhythm. This effect may be mediated through the drug's activation of cell-surface A1 and A2 adenosine receptors. Adenocard is antagonized competitively by methylxanthines such as caffeine and theophylline, and potentiated by blockers of nucleoside transport such as dipyridamole. Adenocard is not blocked by atropine. Adenosine also inhibits the slow inward calcium current and activation of adenylate cyclase in smooth muscle cells, thereby causing relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. By increasing blood flow in normal coronary arteries with little or no increase in stenotic arteries, adenosine produces a relative difference in thallous (thallium) chloride TI 201 uptake in myocardium supplied by normal verus stenotic coronary arteries.

Administer approximately one-half inch of Vira-A Ophthalmic Ointment (Vidarabine), 3%, into the lower conjunctival sac five times daily at three-hour intervals.
Route of Administration:
Topical
Confluent monolayers of Vero cells in 12-well microplates were infected with approximately 200 PFU of virus and incubated at 37°C with twofold serial dilutions of antiviral drug. After 1 h, the inoculum was removed and replaced with medium containing 1% methylcellulose and Vidarabine. Control wells did not contain antiviral drugs. The cells were fixed in 100% methanol 40 h after infection and were stained with Giemsa stain. Plaques were visually inspected and counted using a dissecting microscope. The number of plaques at each drug concentration was plotted versus the log of the drug concentration, and the slope of the regression line in the linear range was determined. The amount of Vidarabine required to reduce the number of plaques by 50% from those in the control wells (EC50) was calculated from the equation of the regression line. Vidarabine was tested against each isolate at least twice in replicate wells, and the EC50 was calculated as an average value. Cytotoxicity in Vero cells for all the compounds was determined previously using a 3-(4,5- dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.
