The objective of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of the chitosan-ethacridine adduct in white rats. It was demonstrated that the kinetics of ethacridine release from adduct are significantly different from that for intraperitoneally introduced ethacridine. When free ethacridine was introduced, 80% of the administered amount was detected in blood of rats in 30 min. This quantity decreased gradually until 20 h, when 1.25% of the administered amount was detected. Contrary, for chitosan-ethacridine adduct, the ethacridine content in the blood slowly increased for 8 h and then decreased. Even after 72 h of the injection, 3% of the injected amount of ethacridine was detected. The experiment demonstrates a significant delay in the release of ethacridine from the chitosan-ethacridine adduct in the blood of treated rats. Thus, a possibility of using chitosan for prolongation of action of the ethacridine as an antiseptic agent was shown.
The aim of the research was to study the chemical composition and effectiveness of the seed oil of Spindle tree (Euonymus europaea L.) on the non-allergic contact dermatitis model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
