Abstract
: Influence of membrane-active derivative of 3-hydroxypyridine on psychotropic activity of drugs with different chemical structure and type of action--neuroleptics (chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, reserpine), tranquillizers (diazepam, phenazepam, calcium valproate), hypnotics (Hexobarbital), was studied in the experiment on animals. Application of psychotropic drugs after preliminary 3-hydroxypyridine administration was established to induce a considerable increase of their pharmacological activity--anxiolytic, sedative and hypnotic. Mechanism of action of 3-hydroxypyridine on pharmacological effects of psychotropic drugs is supposed to be caused by its membrane-modulating action, precisely by its influence on physical-chemical properties and phospholipid composition of synaptic biomembranes.
