[Comparative antioxidant and antihypoxic activities of new 1,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrimidine derivative--compound PDMpT.HCl and mexidol].

Compound PDMpT.HCI reduces intensity of lipoperoxidation, activates antioxidant system and increases animal life expectancy under hypoxic circumstance.

[Effect of flavicin on vasodilating and antithrombotic endothelial functions in animals with experimental diabetes mellitus].

It is established that flavonoid flavicin improves antithrombotic and vasodilating functions of blood vessels in rats with endothelial dysfunction caused by streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

[Development and estimation of nanosomal rifampicin].

A lab-scale method for preparation of rifampicin-loaded polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles (nanosames) was developed. The biodistribution of the nanosome-entrapped rifampicin after its intravenous administration was studied on healthy mice. The nanoparticles provided significant liver and spleen accumulation of rifampicin.

[Enzymatic acetylation of xenobiotics: its efficacy and role in side effects].

Quantum-chemical calculations of a series of molecules with primary amino groups were carried out, and the results were compared with experimental data on the in vivo acetylation degree. A criterion of the interaction efficiency of primary amines with arylamine N-acetyltransferase was suggested. An analysis of the known data and the results of our calculations showed that the interaction peculiarities of xenobiotics containing primary amino groups with the acetylating system of an organism largely define the spectrum of side effects of these xenobiotics.

[Morphologic changes in the rat inferior olive after its neurotoxic destruction with different doses of 2-acetylpyridine].

Neurotoxic effect of 3 acetylpyridine administered in different doses to adult outbred albino rats caused morphological changes in neurons of inferior olive: nucleus translocation towards cell body periphery with central chromatolysis, cytoplasm homogenisation complete dissolution of chromatophilic substance, disappearance of cell contours with glia preservation. The most severe lesion of the nervous tissue was observed in basal olive and dorsal accessory olive in all cases studied. Majority of neurons remained unchanged in medial accessory olive and its subdivisions.
