abstract: Changes in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of psycholeptic drugs in the course of radiation disease. Effect of premedication with cystamine on dynamics and kinetics of thioridazine. Acta Physiol. Pol. 1977, 28 (2): 169--179. The effect of premedication with cystamine (100 mg/kg) applied before irradiation (600 R) on exploring mobility and cataleptic action of thioridazine was investigated in rats. The levels of thioridazine in blood serum, brain tissue and in bile were determined. It was found that cystamine prevents the changes in dynamics of thioridazine action in radiation disease through abolition of disturbances in kinetics of this drug. Half-life period of thioridazine was found to be reduced and its level in the brain tissue was diminished in the irradiated, cystamine-pretreated animals in comparison with the irradiated, untreated ones.
