title: Pharmacological studies on anethole trithione.
abstract: Pharmacological studies on trithio-p-methoxy-phenylpropene (anethole trithione, ANTT, Felviten) were performed. ANTT at a dose of 100 mg/kg, p.o. lowered the increased serum transaminases GOT and GPT, and protected the liver from injuries caused by CCl4 in mice. In other studies in vivo, ANTT at a dose of 1000 mg/kg showed no effect on the central nervous system or the autonomic nervous system. In vitro experiments with smooth muscle preparations showed no significant effects of ANTT.
