Preclinical Toxicological Study of Release-Active Preparations for Prediction of Their Pharmacological Activity and Side Effects.

We studied chronic toxicity of a few release-active preparations: Dietressa (release-active preparation of affinity-purified antibodies to type 1 cannabinoid receptor), Divasa (releaseactive preparation containing a combination of affinity-purified antibodies to brain-specific S-100 protein and endothelial NO-synthase), Cardostin (release-active preparation containing a combination of affinity-purified antibodies to C-terminal fragment of angiotensin II type 1 receptor and endothelial NO-synthase), and Bation (release-active preparation containing a combination of affinity-purified antibodies to IFN-γ and CD4). We evaluated not only side and toxic effects, but also the relationships between these effects and pharmacological activities of the preparations. The data of preclinical toxicological studies of the release-active preparations can be used for prediction of their pharmacological activity.

Anxiolytic and Antidepressant Effects of Divaza and Brizantin.

The anxiolytic and antidepressant activities of complex preparations divaza and brizantin containing antibodies to brain-specific protein S100 were estimated using Vogel conflict test and Nomura forced swimming test. Course treatment (5 days) of brizantin in a dose of 2.5 ml/kg and divaza in a dose of 7.5 ml/kg significantly increased punished drinking in the Vogel conflict test in comparison with the control. Both drugs also improved general emotional behavior during training prior to the test procedure. Brizantin and divaza in a dose of 7.5 ml/kg increased the number of wheel revolutions in the Nomura forced swimming test in comparison with the control; the effect of divaza was more pronounced. High correlation coefficients between the number of wheel revolutions during the first and second 5-min sessions are also indicative of antidepressant action of divaza and brizantin.
