Interaction of two groups of bioregulators, which oppositely affect activity of adenylate cyclase and phosphoinositide cellular signaling systems, with the Langmuir monolayer films made of natural lecithin was studied. Most significant influence on the structural and energy characteristics of lipid monolayers was revealed for the group of bioregulators, which inhibit polyphosphoinositide signaling system or/and activate adenylate cyclase signaling system. It is shown, that using the cluster analysis the bioregulators can be divided into two groups according to general orientation of their action on the considered systems of transduction of a signal.

Interaction of ATP and its derivative "ATP-LONG", the preparations raising general resistanse of an organism to physical stress, with the model phospholipid monolayer membrane of distearoylphosphatidylcholine has been investigated. It is shown, that these substances interact with a monolayer under partial embedding of a purine base between the phospholipid molecules. However their regulatory influence cannot be explained only by the effect of plasmatic membrane lipid components on physical parameters.

The effects of specific agonists and antagonists of adrenoceptors and inhibitors of cAMP phosphodiesterase on electrostimulated phasic contractions in the ureter of guinea pig were studied. It has been shown that there mainly excitatory alpha 1-adrenoceptors in this object, the density of beta-adrenoceptors is slight and functional alpha 2-adrenoceptors are probably absent. Some aspects of adrenergic regulation of the contractile function of guinea pig ureter are discussed.
