[Possible pharmacological correction of metabolic impairments experimental diabetes mellitus by antioxidant].

On model of experimental diabetes in rats the possibility of correction of impairments of lipid, carbohydrate and albumin metabolism by SEMOP in a dose of 25 or 5 mg/kg, dimephosphone (100 mg/kg) and alpha-tocopherol (25 mg/kg) has been Advantage of SEMOP consists in its ability to decrease a level of total protein and albumin of blood of animals with experimental diabetes.

[Studying the mechanism of antiarrhythmic action of a tertiary derivative of lidocaine].

The investigation of electrophysiological parameters of the cardiac activity in cats showed that, a derivative of lidocaine with glutamic acid (anion), does not influence the cardiac pacemaker and the myocardial excitability of atrium and ventricles, but decreases the atrioventricular conduction and increases the refractory period of myocardium in the left ventricle of intact heart. Under the conditions of myocardial ischemia, LKhT-3-00 exhibits a negative chronotropic effect. Lidocaine glutamate increases the refractory period of atrium and decreases the excitability and refractory period of ventricles.

[Effect of trimecaine derivatives and lidocaine on hemodynamics].

The results of experiments on cats showed that quaternidine, a quaternary ammonium derivative of trimecaine, does not induce significant variations in the hemodynamic parameters, being advantageous in this respect to some well-known antiarrhythmic drugs. LKhT-3-00 (dialkylaminophenylacetamide glutaminate)--a tertiary derivative of lidocaine--leads to a slight decrease in the heart rate, an insignificant decrease in the arterial pressure for 10 min, and a pronounced enhancement of the pumping ability of the left ventricle over a time period of 30 min.

[Study of antiarrhythmic activity and duration of action of quaternidine].

The results of experiments on dogs showed that quaternidine, a quaternary ammonium derivative of trimecaine, produces a significant antiarrhythmogenic effect in cases of rhythm disorders in the late stage of a model myocardial infarction. For drugs administered in a single isotoxic dose, the therapeutic effect of quaternidine in animals with acute myocardial ischemia considerably exceeds the duration of action of lidocaine and trimecaine.

[The antiarrhythmic activity of the trimecain ammonium derivative in myocardial ischemia].

The results of experiments on cats and dogs showed that quaternidine, a quaternary ammonium derivative of trimecaine, exceeds the structural precursors (trimecaine and lidocaine), as well as the reference drugs quinidine and propranolol, in intensity of the antiarrhythmic action upon single administration on the occlusive and reperfusive arrhythmia models. The therapeutic effect of quaternidine in animals with acute myocardial ischemia lasts for about 8 h, which more than 20 times longer as compared to the duration of action of both lidocaine and trimecaine.

[Efficacy of galstena in liver damage induced by antitubercular agents].

It is established that galstena possesses hepatoprotector activity and is capable of reducing pathological changes in animals treated with toxic doses of antituberculous drugs. Galstena prevents from the development of cytolysis, as evidence by inhibition of the activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase. The anti cholestatic effect of galstena is confirmed by suppression of the growth in the levels of total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutarate transpeptidase.

[Hepatoprotective effect of plant preparations].

The hepatoprotector activity of original compositions of plant origin, containing beet and carrot juices, decoction of dog rose fruits, and extracts of corn silk, peppermint leaves, and common horsetail herbs was studied on an acute hepatitis model induced by tetrachloromethane. An analysis of the data on the hepatocyte cytolysis, cholestasis, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant system of blood serum showed that the preparations possess membranoprotector and antioxidant properties. This was manifested by a decrease in the activity of alanine aminotransferase and in the levels of total bilirubin and the final (malonaldehyde) and intermediate (diene conjugates) lipid peroxidation products, and by the absence of decline in the level of endogenous alpha-tocopherol and in the activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes.

[Effect of plant preparations on lipid peroxidation parameters in acute toxic hepatitis].

The influence of the original vegetable complexes (which include: juices of beet-rout and carrot, decoction of degrose berries, extracts of corn silk, leaves of peppermint and some other components) on the indicators of the cytolysis, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system of serum of the laboratory rats with acute toxic hepatitis, was investigated. The vegetable complexes exhibited antioxidant effects which were proved by the reduction of the final and intermediate products of lipoperoxidization, the absence of decline of the level of endogenous alpha-tocopherol content and glutathione dependent enzymes.

[The anti-arrhythmia activity of amino acid-containing trimecaine derivatives on models of early occlusive and reperfusion arrhythmias in cats].

Experiments were conducted on models of early occlusion and reperfusion arrhythmias in cats to study the antiarrhythmic activity of trimecain, its morpholine analogue (MPT), and MPT derivatives containing glycine, magnesium salt of aspartic acid, and N-acetylglutaminic acid. All the compounds were injected in doses of 5% of LD50. A 22.

[The effect of ximedon on adaptation to prolonged immobilization stress].

It was shown in rabbit experiments that the use of ximedon in long-term immobilization stress limits activation of lipid peroxidation, stimulates the main enzymes of the antioxidant systems, causes of hypolipidemic, preventive endotheliotropic, and cardiotropic effect.

[Effect of UV-irradiation of blood on the course of adaptation to conditions of hypodynamia].

The rabbit experiment has studied the impact of ultraviolet (UV) blood irradiation on the course of adaptative processes under restrictive stress. Thirty-day hypodynamia was demonstrated to result in chronic stress whose pathogenetic links are activated neutrophilic leukocytes, developed disseminated intravascular coagulation, atherogenic metabolic changes. UV blood irradiation enhanced the body's adaptative potentialities under long-term hypodynamia, by diminishing restriction-induced stress lesion.

[The anti-arrhythmia activity of energy-providing and electron-acceptor compounds].

The protective effects of fructose-1, 6-diphosphate, sodium malate and cytochrome C were studied in the experiments on rats with disorders of the cardiac rhythm of various origin. The compounds studied prevent the strophantine and adrenaline-induced cardiac rhythm disturbances, but appeared ineffective on aconitine and calcium chloride models.

[The antiarrhythmic activity of glycolysis and Krebs cycle intermediates in early occlusion and reperfusion arrhythmias in rats].

Acute experiments on unconscious rats have demonstrated that fructose-1,6-diphosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate and malate of sodium produced a marked antiarrhythmic activity in acute occlusive and reperfusion arrhythmias, prevented the development of ventricular fibrillation and tachycardias, considerably reduced the duration of arrhythmia paroxysms, but they were ineffective in ventricular extrasystole.

[The effect of fructose-1,6-diphosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate on the course of early occlusion and reperfusion arrhythmias in rats].

Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (150 and 50 mg/kg) and phosphoenolpyruvate (0.5 and 0.1 mg/kg) decreased the development of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and the intensity of ventricular extrasystoles after coronary occlusion in experimental rats.

[The effect of a combination of N-propylajmaline bromide and trimecaine on heart arrhythmias of different origins and on the electrophysiological parameters of the myocardium].

In experiments on dogs and cats with disorders of the atrial and ventricular rhythms of various genesis the combination of N-propylaymalinebromide and trimecaine (the antiarrhythmic drugs of classes IA and IB) was found to potentiate the antiarrhythmic action. This effect was studied in electrophysiological experiments by using the microelectrode technique or on the dog and rat myocardium tissue. The combination of the antiarrhythmic drugs was shown to exert a more significant effect on some electrophysiological parameters determining the arrhythmic readiness of the myocardium.

[Combined action of anti-arrhythmia agents].

A significant potentiation of antiarrhythmic effect was observed in 121 dogs with arrhythmias 24 and 48 hours after the coronary artery ligation when the following drugs were combined: N-propylajmaline bromide (1A class) and trimecaine (1B class), quinidine (1A class) and trimecaine, N-propylajmaline bromide and anaprilin (2 class). The potentiation is attributed to the different molecular mechanisms of action of the drugs.
