Abstract
Introduction
The anticonvulsant m-Cl-BHM is promising for the pathogenetically directed thrapy does not cause negative effects.
Objectives
Investigation of the effect of m-Сl-BHM on “immunochemical homeostasis” in rats with experimental alcoholism.
Methods
m-Cl-BHM was injected at a dose of 100 mg/kg (1/20 LD50) for 5 and 30 days into the stomach of male Wistar rats who preferred alcohol according to the screening conditions and kept for 10 months. in free access to a 15% ethanol solution, which made up the group of “heavy drinkers” (HD). Phenobarbital was administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg (1/20 LD50).
Results
The features of the monooxygenase system of cytochrome P450 of the liver and ECT in the lymphoid organs of rats were studied at different periods of administration of m-CL-BHM -5 and 30 days. to HD rats. m-CL-BHM has an inducing effect on the monooxygenase system of the liver, causes phase changes in the lymphoid organs and ECT. Long-term administration of m-CL-BHM caused a depletion of the cellular composition of lymphoid organs, a decrease in ECT of spleen cells and peritoneal exudate, these changes were less pronounced compared with phenobarbital. The activation of the immune system inversely regulates the production of enzymes of the cytochrome system, since the concentration of low molecular weight targets is sharply reduced with the help of antibodies. m-Cl-BHM metabolites conjugated to endogenous macromolecules form a full-fledged stimulus for the immune system.
Conclusions
Neuroimmune response to the introduction of m-CL-BHM is significant in behavioral disorders associated with alcoholism and the correction of this condition.
