Oxypangam is a substance applied therapeutically against a number of diseases, such as chronic liver damages, angina pectoris, and psychosomatic disturbances. The mode of action of oxypangam has not yet conclusively been described. The only well-known properties of this substance are its intensive methylating and lipolytic effects. The present paper serves to elucidate the influence of oxypangam on the induction of the tyrosine aminotransferase, on the NAD content and on the activity of the ADPR transferase in the liver. Our studies showed that in normal animals, increasing doses of oxypangam support the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase. Up to a concentration of 100 mg/kg oxypangam enhances also the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase by tryptophan. In both cases, however, it does not work in adrenalectomized animals. Under the influence of oxypangam the NAD content of the liver remained unchanged, while the activity of the ADPR transferase was influenced only slightly.

The article deals with the results of study of the intracellular metabolism of neutrophils in 96 patients including 56 (58.3%) patients with ischemic heart disease. It is established that in patients with ischemic heart disease as compared with patients without ischemic heart disease occurs the increase of neutrophils producing of active forms of oxygen against the background of decrease of intracellular activity of catalase and increase of concentration of lactate in phagocytes. Under severing of ischemic heart disease from unstable stenocardia to cardiac infarction the activation of oxygen-depending metabolism of neutrophils conditioned by increase of concentration of immune complexes circulating in blood was not compensated by increasing of intracellular activity of enzymes of system of antioxidant defense. The maximum activation of NAD(F)N-oxidase of neutrophils (production of superoxide anion-radical) was detected in patients with cardiac infarction with Q-wave. This condition was accompanied by maximal increase of concentration of lactate in phagocytes up to twice higher exceed the level of indicators in patients without ischemic heart disease. It can be assumed that in conditions of acute hypoxia occurring under myocardium ischemia in patients with ischemic heart disease, the lactate production increases in neutrophils hence the triggering of development of intracellular acidosis, impact of oxygen-depending factors and phagocytes destruction.
