Popis: 1. Chronic treatment of Sprague-Dawley rats with the new terpenoid mucoregulating drug (I) did not modify activities of the drug-metabolizing enzymes (phase I and phase II) of liver and lung. 2. Acute treatment of rats with I did not affect the GSH content of liver and lung, but administration of the corresponding alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone (II) produced considerable GSH depletion in both tissues, the original GSH levels being restored after a few hours. 3. The results are discussed in comparison with those previously obtained with the structurally related drug trans-sobrerol (III).
