Neurotoxicological profile of actoprotector bromantane was studied on rats using S. Irwin's protocol of multi-test observation. The drug in doses of 30-300 mg/kg stimulated and in doses of 600-9,600 mg/kg suppressed behavioral activity. Spontaneous motor activity increased after single treatment with bromantane in doses of 30-300 mg/kg, did not change after treatment in doses of 600 mg/kg, and was inhibited after treatment in doses above 600 mg/kg. In doses of 300-600 mg/kg the drug reduced pain sensitivity threshold and in doses above 600 mg/kg elevated the pain threshold and tactile sensitivity and reaction to knock. Bromantane induced mydriasis in all studied doses; in doses above 10 g/kg the preparation induced blepharoptosis. In doses above 5 g/kg bromantane slightly increased respiration rate and depth (Kussmaul-like respiration). In some animals bromantane in high doses induced regurgitation, diarrhea, and polyuria. Rectal temperature decreased by 0.5-1 degrees C after virtually all doses. Behavioral effects of bromantane in doses of 30 and 600 mg/kg were associated with stimulation of the central dopamine and suppression of muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic structures, n-cholinolytic effects of bromantane was more pronounced at a dose of 30 mg/kg than at a dose of 600 mg/kg.

D000547 Amantadine An antiviral that is used in the prophylactic or symptomatic treatment of influenza A. It is also used as an antiparkinsonian agent, to treat extrapyramidal reactions, and for postherpetic neuralgia. The mechanisms of its effects in movement disorders are not well understood but probably reflect an increase in synthesis and release of dopamine, with perhaps some inhibition of dopamine uptake. 1-Aminoadamantane,Adamantylamine,Adekin,Aman,Amanta,Amanta-HCI-AZU,Amanta-Sulfate-AZU,Amantadin AL,Amantadin AZU,Amantadin Stada,Amantadin-neuraxpharm,Amantadin-ratiopharm,Amantadina Juventus,Amantadina Llorente,Amantadine Hydrochloride,Amantadine Sulfate,Amixx,Cerebramed,Endantadine,Gen-Amantadine,Infecto-Flu,Infex,Mantadix,Midantan,PMS-Amantadine,Symadine,Symmetrel,Viregyt,Wiregyt,tregor,1 Aminoadamantane,AL, Amantadin,AZU, Amantadin,Amanta HCI AZU,Amanta Sulfate AZU,AmantaHCIAZU,AmantaSulfateAZU,Amantadin neuraxpharm,Amantadin ratiopharm,Amantadinneuraxpharm,Amantadinratiopharm,Gen Amantadine,GenAmantadine,Hydrochloride, Amantadine,Infecto Flu,InfectoFlu,Juventus, Amantadina,Llorente, Amantadina,PMS Amantadine,PMSAmantadine,Stada, Amantadin,Sulfate, Amantadine
