Abstrakt: The antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and ethoxyquin protected rats against intoxication and mortality normally produced by hexachlorophene (HCP, 100 mg/kg). BHT also prevented the elevation of cerebrospinal fluid pressure, a central nervous system effect of HCP poisoning. In addition, both phenobarbital and SKF-525A protected against HCP poisoning, with the barbiturate also offering significant protection against triethyltin. L-Ascorbic acid, vitamin E, N,N-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine and reduced and oxidized glutathione over a range of doses were ineffective in preventing HCP lethality. The protective effect of phenobarbital against HCP and triethyltin intoxication further supports existing evidence of a common or similar mechanism of toxic action for these two structurally dissimilar compounds.
