Emidonol is a Russian antioxidant drug, widely used in veterinary medicine both for prophylactic purposes and under pathological conditions associated with oxygen deficiency. The product of its biotransformation in animals is meldonium, which is a metabolic modulator and has been included on the Prohibited List by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since 2016. In the presented research, volunteers once consumed samples of milk from cows that had undergone a 15-day course of the veterinary drug Emidonol® 10%, obtained from one of the farms in the Moscow region.

Meldonium is a substance with known anti-anginal effects demonstrated by numerous studies and human clinical trials; however, it does not possess marketing authorization within the European Union, only in ex-Soviet republics. Since 2016, meldonium has been included by the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) on the S4 list of metabolic modulators. In performance athletes, meldonium is now considered a doping agent due to its capacity to decrease lactate production during and after exercise, its capability to enhance the storage and utilization of glycogen, and its protective action against oxidative stress.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion in CAG repeat on huntington (Htt) gene, leading to a degeneration of GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum, resulting in the generation of reactive oxygen species, and decrease antioxidant activity. These pathophysiological alterations impair mitochondrial functions, leading to an increase in involuntary hyperkinetic movement. However, researchers investigated the neuroprotective effect of antioxidants using various animal models.

Meldonium (MID) is a synthetic drug designed to decrease the availability of L-carnitine-a main player in mitochondrial energy generation-thus modulating the cell pathways of energy metabolism. Its clinical effects are mostly evident in blood vessels during ischemic events, when the hyperproduction of endogenous carnitine enhances cell metabolic activities, leading to increased oxidative stress and apoptosis. MID has shown vaso-protective effects in model systems of endothelial dysfunction induced by high glucose or by hypertension.
