[Effect of drugs on superoxide formation by neutrophilic granulocytes].

The in-vitro influence of drugs on the superoxide production of human neutrophils was investigated. The superoxide production is inhibited by colchicine, g-strophanthin, propranolol, fluphenazine and stimulated by levamisole and lithium. The superoxide production is inhibited or stimulated by chloramphenicol, hydrocortisone and amphotericin B in concentration dependent manner.
