An investigation for a possible acute toxicity of the complex of water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPS) extracted from calamus root (Acorus calamus L.) has been performed. No toxic effect has been observed on the organisms of experimental animals after a twofold intragastric, subcutaneous, and intravenous introduction of the highest maximum dose of the WSPS being investigated. The results of the experiments did not allow detecting the average fatal dose (LD50) of the WSPS being investigated as no deaths among the experimental animals had been observed. The obtained data lead to the conclusion that the WSPS of calamus root are to be added to Substance Hazard Class IV (low hazard substances) in compliance with State Standard GOST 12.1.007-76.

An investigation has been performed as to the effect of a long-term parenteral introduction of the sum of water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPS) calamus root (Acorus calamus L.) extracted by means of the in-house technology on the functions of experimental animals. As it follows from the results of the experiments, the intragastric introduction of the WSPS to rats in the doses of 20, 100, and 200 mg/kg during a three-month term and the intravenous introduction to rabbits in the doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg during a one-month term do not lead to the death of the animals or to any pathological changes in their general condition, the dynamics of the general weight, or the functional activity of the investigated internal organs and systems.

In this study, the toxicities of “Da day An Chau” tablets (DDAC) were assessed on experimental animals. To evaluate the acute toxicity on Swiss mice according to World Health Organization Guidance and to determine LD50 refer to the method of Litchfield – Wilcoxon. The subchronic toxicity study of DDAC at two doses (0.58 g/kg/day and 1.74 g/kg/day) was conducted in rats for four consecutive weeks. Evaluation of general conditions and weight of rats during the study period. Rat’s blood was taken for hematological and biochemical evaluations. The livers and kidneys microscopes were evaluated at the end of the experiment. The result revealed that mice were taken up to a maximum dose of 25.71 g/kg with no symptoms of acute toxicity; LD50 of DDAC has not been determined. At two doses, the subchronic toxicity study did not change rats’ body weight, hematological, biochemical parameters, and microscopic of the livers and kidneys during the study period.

The goal of the work was to study of acute and sub-acute toxicity parameters of ‘Rybozuril’ biological product (AI — diclazuril) on the model of carp. This drug is effective in the treatment of diseases caused by parasitic Eimeriidae. Carp scales of two years old were used in experiments. To determine acute toxicity, the fish were prescribed with diclazuril in doses of 1 g/kg, 5, 10, and 15 g/kg of live weight. Two experimental and control fish groups of 30 individuals each were formed to determine sub-acute toxicity of ‘Rybozuril’. Experimental groups of fish were prescribed with ‘Rybozuril’ in a dose (by AI) of 50 and 10 mg/kg for two consecutive days. Blood samples were collected from six fish from each group for clinical and biochemical indicators after 2, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The hemoglobin content, number of red blood cells and leukocytes blood was determined. The intensity of peroxide oxidation of lipids (PОL), catalase activity, level of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total proteins, albumin, globulins and glucose, circulating immune complexes (CІC) and seromucoids concentration, level of enzymatic activity: aspartate transaminase (АSТ), alanine transaminase (АLТ), α-amylase blood plasma were determined. The acute toxicity of diclazuril for carp was estimated, LD50 is more than 15,000 mg/kg of live weight, the toxicity of diclazuril can be classified as undifferentiated and, in terms of toxicity, it can be classified as hazard class IV. Two administrations of the drug ‘Rybozuril’ in a daily dose of 50.0 mg/kg of live weight, the maximum expression of metabolic changes in fish was detected from the initial terms of the studies and up to day 21. According to the results the toxic effect of the drug in fish was estimated, which did not influence to a number of indicators. The drug in such dose was shown immunosuppression and membrane-toxic effects in fish. Two-time administration of the ‘Rybozuril’ drug in a daily dose of 10.0 mg/kg body weight leads to metabolic alterations in fish due to the activation of detoxification processes and lipoperoxidation maintenance in cell membranes at the physiological level. At the end of the experiment the toxic effect of ‘Rybozuril’ in fish characterized by stable parameters in comparing to the control group.

SummaryUbiquin (oligo-3-(N-methylmorpholinium)-l,2-propylene oxide chloride) is a stable, water soluble, active heparin antagonist producing prompt neutralization when administered in a 1:1 ratio to rats and dogs. Initial studies indicate that it is devoid of any effect on coagulation per se; nor are there any obvious side effects manifested during the process of neutralization. The acute toxicity is less than that of other compounds in use: toluidine blue, protamine and hexadimethrine.

In experimental studies on rats (males, females) at their infantile stage starting from 10 days, a potential delayed toxic effect of the antiviral drug Kagocel on the reproductive system was studied. The drug was administered for 12 days in a therapeutic dose and at a dose 10-fold higher than the therapeutic one. Reproductive safety was estimated after animals reached the reproductive age (2.5 months). It was found out that the drug, when administered in both doses, does not decrease the fertility of animals, does not induce morphological and pathological changes in the sex glands, and does not have toxic effect on the offspring. Obtained data characterize Kagocel as a preparation with a wide reproductive safety profile and show that it can be used in pediatric practice for infants.

Background: Anti-tumor effect of hydroxamic acid derivatives is largely connected with its properties as efficient inhibitors of histone deacetylases, and other metalloenzymes involved in carcinogenesis. Objective: The work was aimed to (i) determine the anti-tumor and chemosensitizing activity of the novel racemic spirocyclic hydroxamic acids using experimental drug sensitive leukemia P388 of mice, and (ii) determine the structure-activity relationships as metal chelating and HDAC inhibitory agents. Method: Outbreed male rat of 200-220 g weights were used in biochemical experiments. In vivo experiments were performed using the BDF1 hybrid male mice of 22-24 g weight. Lipid peroxidation, Fe (II) -chelating activity, HDAC fluorescent activity, anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activity, acute toxicity techniques were used in this study. Results: Chemosensitizing properties of water soluble cyclic hydroxamic acids (CHA) are evaluated using in vitro activities and in vivo methods and found significant results. These compounds possess iron (II) chelating properties, and slightly inhibit lipid peroxidation. CHA prepared from triacetonamine (1a-e) are more effective Fe (II) ions cheaters, as compared to CHA prepared from 1- methylpiperidone (2a-e). The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity, lipophilicity and acute toxicity were influenced by the length amino acids (size) (Glycine < Alanine < Valine < Leucine < Phenylalanine). All compounds bearing spiro-N-methylpiperidine ring (2a-e) are non-toxic up to 1250 mg/kg dose, while compounds bearing spiro-tetramethylpiperidine ring (1a-e) exhibit moderate toxicity which increases with increasing lipophility, but not excite at 400 mg/kg. Conclusion: It was shown that the use of combination of non-toxic doses of cisplatin (cPt) or cyclophosphamide with CHA in most cases result in the appearance of a considerable anti-tumor effect of cytostatics. The highest chemosensitizing activity with respect to leukemia Р388 is demonstrated by the CHA derivatives of Valine 1c or 2c.

Reactions of 10-(4-aminopiperazino)-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepins XIVa-XIVd with benzaldehyde, 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)benzaldehyde, 3-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)benzaldehyde and 3-ethoxy-4-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)benzaldehyde afforded a series of 19 hydrazones IIIa-Xc. Some of them showed the expected anticonvulsant effect but only towards pentetrazole; antagonism of maximal electroshock seizures was not observed. In general, the products have a character of tranquillizers: in higher does they produce central depression, potentiate the thiopental sleeping time, have hypothermic action; in single cases antiamphetamine, antireserpine, antihistamine and cataleptic effects were observed. The water-soluble salts of the basic hydrazones VIIIa, VIIIc, IXc and Xc, administered parenterally, showed a rather high acute toxicity and revealed also adrenolytic and hypotensive activity.
