Abstract
There is controversy about the anti- or pro-oxidative effects of the nitric oxide (NO)-donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Hence, the activity of the antioxidant enzyme catalase (CAT) and the status of malondialdehyde (MDA) were investigated after a 2.5 mg/kg dose of SNP had been i.p. administered to different and comparable groups of mice (n = 48). The drug was administered at two different circadian times (1 and 13 h after light onset [HALO]). There were, irrespectively of sampling time, no significant differences in the means of CAT activity and MDA status between control and SNP-treated groups, no matter the treatment time. However, CAT activity was significantly (Student's t-test, p < 0.001) increased 1 h following SNP administration at 1 HALO, whereas the significant (p < 0.001) increase in the enzyme activity was found only 3 h after injection at 13 HALO. The drug dosing either at 1 or 13 HALO resulted in no significant differences of MDA status between control and treated groups regardless to the sampling time. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) detected a significant (F0.05(7,88)= 5.3; p < 0.0006) interaction between sampling time and treatment in mice injected at 1 HALO, suggesting the influence of treatment on sampling-time-related changes in CAT activity. However, ANOVA validated no interaction between the two factors in mice treated at 13 HALO, illustrating that the sampling-time differences in enzyme activity were greater. Furthermore, two-way ANOVA revealed no interaction in the variation of MDA status in animals treated either at 1 or 13 HALO. This study indicates that SNP significantly affected the anti-oxidant system.

Dosing-time dependent effects of sodium nitroprusside on cerebral, renal, and hepatic catalase activity in mice. JOURNAL OF DRUG DELIVERY 2015; 2015:790480.

Abstract
To investigate the time dependence of sodium nitroprusside- (NPS-) induced oxidative effects, the authors study the variation of the antioxidant enzyme CAT activity in various tissues after the administration of a single 2.5 mg/kg dose of SNP or sodium chloride (NaCl 0.9%). For each of the two dosing times (1 and 13 hours after light onset, HALO, which correspond to the beginning of diurnal rest span and of nocturnal activity span of mice, resp.), brain, kidney, and liver tissues were excised from animals at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36 h following the drug administration and CAT activity was assayed. The results suggest that SNP-induced stimulation of CAT activity is greater in all three tissues when the drug is administered at 1 HALO than at 13 HALO. Two-way ANOVA revealed that CAT activity significantly (P < 0.004) varied as a function of the sampling time but not of the treatment in all three tissues. Moreover, a statistically significant (P < 0.004) interaction between the organ sampling-time and the SNP treatment was revealed in kidney regardless of the dosing time, whereas a highly significant (P < 0.0002) interaction was validated in liver only in animals injected at 13 HALO.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to investigate if the oxidative effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) are dosing-time dependent. Therefore, the variation of malondialdehyde (MDA) status was assessed after a single i.p. administration of SNP (2.5mgkg(-1) b.w.) or vehicle (9‰ NaCl) to different and comparable groups of mice (n=48) at two different circadian times (1 and 13h after light onset [HALO]). Brain, kidney, and liver tissues were excised over 36h, and their MDA contents were estimated at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36h after SNP administration. RESULTS indicated mean MDA level was not significantly changed in each investigated tissue compared with the control. In contrast, the mean MDA value varied among organs and was comparable in brain and liver but lower than in kidney. The data show SNP significantly (P<0.05) increases MDA status in both tissues and exerts time-dependent oxidative effects with the greatest toxicity coinciding with the beginning of the diurnal rest span (local time: 08:00h, i.e., at 1 HALO). The obtained results reveal SNP-induced oxidative damage (evidenced by MDA accumulation) varies according to both the dosing-time and the target organ.

Abstract
Background Valproic acid (VPA) is an antiepileptic drug widely used for the treatment of absence seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The present work aims to study whether VPA-induced toxicity varies according to the dosing-time in the 24 hour-scale. Methods The influence of dosing-time on tolerance to VPA was investigated in 120 male Swiss mice synchronized under a light-dark cycle (12:12). The mean VPA lethal dose was first determined to be 850 ± 0.2 mg/kg, i.p.. Such a dose was administered by i.p. route to a total of 90 mice divided in six circadian stages [1, 5, 9, 13, 17 and 21 Hours After Light Onset (HALO)] (15 mice/circadian time); 30 mice were used as control (5 mice / circadian time). Results The surviving treated mice exhibited a significant circadian variation in rectal temperature and body weight loss (p < 0.001). The least rectal temperature change and body weight loss occurred when VPA was injected at 9 HALO. Drug dosing at 9 HALO resulted in -9 % weight loss whereas drug dosing at 17 HALO was -15 % (Ø = 20.3 HALO ± 1.1 h, p ≤ 0.0001). Lethal toxicity also varied according to circadian dosing-time (χ2 = 42.1, p < 0.0001). The highest (60 %) and the lowest (6.67 %) survival rates were observed at 9 HALO and 17 HALO respectively. Cosinor analyses validated a significant circadian rhythm in survival duration with an acrophase at 8.4 HALO ± 0.75 h (p < 0.001). Conclusions With regards to these data the optimal tolerance to VPA occurred when the drug was administered in the second half of the light-rest span of mice which is physiologically analogous to the second half of the night for human patients.

Abstract
Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is widely used in pharmacological studies as a potent vasodilator or a nitric oxide donor. SNP-induced ataxic effects were assessed in mice by the Joulou-Couvoisier test. Swiss albino mice of both genders, 2-8 weeks of age, were acclimated at least for 2 weeks to 12 h light (rest span)/12 h dark (activity span). In 2 and 4 week old mice, maxima of ataxia were found following intraperitoneal administration of a dose ranging from 3 to 3.6 mg.kg-1 SNP at ≈ 1 and 13 HALO (Hours After Light Onset). The sublethal toxicity was statistically dosing-time dependent (χ2 test: P < 0.005). No rhythm was validated in neurotoxicity by cosinor analyses. At the 8th week of post-natal development (PND), SNP-induced ataxia was greatest at ≈ 1 HALO (69% in males vs. 49% in females) and lowest at ≈ 13 HALO (21% in males vs. 11% in females) (χ2 test: P < 0.00001). Cosinor analysis also revealed no statistically significant rhythm in mice injected with 3 or 3.3 mg.kg-1. However, a significant circadian (τ = 24 h) rhythm was detected by adjusted cosinor in 3.6 mg.kg-1-treated mice (P < 0.004). In all studied groups, SNP-induced motor impairment (expressed in %) was lower during the dark than the light phase. Furthermore, there was a non-significant gender-related difference in SNP-induced neuronal toxicity with the males more sensitive than females at every studied PND. The ataxic effects were inversely proportional to the lag time from injection and to the age of animals (with P < 0.05 only between 2 and 8 week old mice). These data indicate that both the administration time and age of the animal significantly affect the neurotoxic effects of SNP.
