A pilot study evaluated the efficacy of the drug afalaza (mixture of affinity purified antibodies to PSA and endothelial NO-synthase) compared with the Serenoa repens extract in a model of chronic abacterial prostatitis in Wistar rats caused by suturing of prostate tissue by silk thread. Except for the animals of intact group, rats (n = 13 in each group) underwent intraperitoneal injection of distilled water (10 ml/kg), afalaza (at a doses of 5, 7.5 and 10 ml/kg) or an Serenoa repens extract (50 mg/kg) 1 month after surgery for 45 days.

Administration of Serenoa repens in a dose of 50 mg/kg for 1.5 months prevented the development of prostate sclerosis and increased luminal area, but did delay the development of atrophic processes.

It is established that a two-week therapy with kardostin at a dose of 5 and 15 mg/kg changed phases of the estrous cycle (with the estrus phase being most prevalent) and led to ambiguous changes in the sexual behavior of female rats (a dose of 5 mg/kg increased sexual behavior, while a dose of 15 mg/kg inhibited it), activated fertility, and improved the quality of conception.

All effects of the drug observed during a course of treatment were leveled and the parameters reached the basal values within 2 weeks after drug discontinuation, this confirming its safety.
