Trifluopromazine (TFPro) administration to rats (50 mg/kg, ip) 30 min before or 6 or 10 hr after CCl4 treatment (1 ml/kg ip in olive oil) partially prevented necrogenic effects of this compound at 24 hr. TFPro has only minor effects on the covalent binding (CB) of CCl4-reactive metabolites to cellular constituents and even an enhancing action on CCl4-promoted lipid peroxidation (LP). Determination of TFPro levels in liver 1 and 3 hr after administration by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed its presence in that tissue at concentrations well above those needed for calmodulin (CaM) inhibitory effects of this drug. TFPro lowered body temperature in CCl4-treated animals during the 24-hr observation period. Protective effects of TFPro at 6 or 10 hr, when most of the CB and all of the LP has already occurred, suggest but do not prove a role for CaM in late stages of CCl4-induced necrogenic effects. Decreases in the body temperature of CCl4-poisoned animals provoked by TFPro might also play a role in the preventive actions of this drug.

Apyrase activity has been found in tissue of all investigated plant species. Seedlings soluble fractions accounted for 45-75% of the cell apyrase activity, whereas the apyrases isolated from microsomes accounted for 0.2-7% of the total homogenate activity. The ratio of the rate of ATP hydrolysis to the rate of ADP hydrolysis, Ksh, divides the apyrases into two groups: of Ksh > 1 (enzymes from most of monocot plants and bovine tissues) and of Ksh < 1 (enzymes from dicot plants). Triflupromazine strongly decreased the activity of wheat and bovine apyrases (first group) and does not inhibit the activity of the enzyme from potato (second group). Analysed apyrases reveal a significant antigenic diversity. Antibodies developed against soluble potato apyrase have no affinity to apyrase from microsomes of wheat seedlings. Immunological analysis confirmed that ATPase and ADPase activities of potato apyrase were associated with one protein. Apyrases, including animal ones, are insensitive to ATPases inhibitors and reagents of SH groups, whereas sodium deoxycholate inhibits all of the studied enzymes. NaF decreases activity plant enzymes, whereas erythrosine B and NaN3 only decreases bovine apyrases.
