title: [Clinico-experimental correlation of the hypolipemic effects of mepartricin].
abstract: Mepartricin (SPA-S-160) fat-lowering effect was evaluated in several groups of rats, normal or with experimental hyperlipidemia. The substance had a normalizing action on the lipid levels, and in particular on the cholesterol component. These findings, compared to those obtained in preliminary clinical studies, confirm a mechanism of action, common to some other polyenes, selecting as molecular target the interaction with the cholesterol component.
