Popis: The detoxifying efficacy of remaxol in the experimental model of cisplatin-induced toxicosis has been studied and the possibility of using this drug in cancer patients therapy is evaluated. Remaxol exhibited pronounced dose-dependent detoxifying effect in the model of toxicosis induced by cisplatin in a toxic dose (LD50). It reduced the death rate in test animals about three times when used at a 130 ml/kg dose, and prevented lethal outcome at a 500 ml/kg dose. Remaxol also normalized biochemical blood indices that characterized liver and kidney functions in survived animals. Remaxol did not stimulate growth of experimental carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma, and lympholeukosis. The drug did not interfere with the anti-tumor efficacy of cisplatin in the schemes with combined treatment of animals bearing tumors of various histogenesis. Remaxol can be recommended for clinical study as a detoxifying preparation for cancer patients with various malignancies.
