Tetramisole produced by ICI, England, and Tetramisole Pharmachim, Bulgaria, were comparatively studied in terms of their acute and subchronic toxicity, and the local and general tolerance and antinematode activity. No differences were found in their acute toxicity (LD50) for albino mice at oral, subcutaneous, and venous application, the index of resorption being 6.3. The same was true so far as the tolerance in calves, sheep, goats, and pigs was concerned. Orally at the rate of 45 mg/kg in sheep and over 30/kg with calves (3, resp., 2 times as high as the therapeutic dose) tetramisole produced nervous and locomotor excitement, tremor, salivation, higher respiration and pulse rate, frequent urination and defecation. Following the tenfold oral administration at intervals, of 3 days at rates of 15 and 45 mg/kg tetramisole Pharmachim did not affect unfavourably the appetite, behaviour, general status, and the clinical and biochemical composition of the blood as well as the structural pattern of the viscera in sheep. Tetramisole Pharmachim was shown to be well tolerated with regard to the conjunctivae at concentrations of up to 5 per cent, the subcutaneous tissues and muscles at conc. of up to 3 per cent, and mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines at conc. of up to 10 per cent.

We present the first reported study of Ruta graveolens toxicity in 7-8-month-old Nubian goats. Oral administration of 5 g/kg bw per day of R. graveolens leaves caused tremor, dyspnoea, frequent urination, incoordination of movement, ataxia and recumbency, with death after 1-7 days. In goats receiving oral doses of 1 g/kg bw per day of the leaves, the course of toxicity was prolonged and the animals had pallor of the visible mucous membranes and loss in condition; one died on day 17, the others being slaughtered on days 41 and 46. The clinical effects were correlated with pathological changes in various organs, alterations in serum aspartate transaminase, creatine kinase, total protein, cholesterol, urea and other serum constituents, haematological values and the concentrations in the tissues of copper, iron, zinc, manganese, calcium and phosphorus.

The purpose of the present work was to study the effects of tolerance to ethanol on the sleep-wakefulness cycle (SWC) structure. Experiments were carried out in chronic conditions on the adult cats (n=5). The following methods were used: the stereotaxic - for implanting electrodes; polysomnographic - for EEG registration of the SWC structure. Alcoholisation (0.2-2.5 g/kg 25% ethanol solution) was conducted by intraperitoneal injections that lasted for two weeks. The obtained results were processed statistically and significance of the changes was determined by the Student t-test. Low single doses of ethanol (0.2 - 0.5 g/kg) did not induce any significant changes in the structure of the SWC. While using doses of 0.6 g/kg it was noted only increasing of the latent period of the onset of sleep. However, the structure of the SWC recovered within 1-2 hours after injection. Increasing the dose to 1 g/kg caused severe intoxication. This was reflected in a behavioral (anxiety, tremor, vocalizations) and autonomic (vomiting and frequent urination) signs. Against the background of restless behavioral wakefulness synchronization of the characteristic of light slow-wave sleep developed. The volume of deep slow-wave sleep was statistically significantly decreased and the latent period of the onset of paradoxical sleep was increased. The structure of sleep was fragmented, due to frequent awakenings. For the fifth-eighth day of alcoholization the structure of the SWC restored, behavioral and vegetative signs of intoxication disappeared, which must indicate the development of tolerance to this dose of ethanol. The obtained results signify that development of tolerance to ethanol can be reflected in the alteration of the structure of SWC. Alcoholization disturbs the subtle mechanisms of the sleep due to destruction of brain homeostasis.
