title: Pharmacological activities and side effects of plafibride.
abstract: This paper reports on pharmacological properties of N-2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-isobutyryl-N'-morpholinomethyl-urea (plafibride, ITA 104) and its possible side effects. This work was carried out on CNS, ANS and PNS, cardiovascular system, respiratory and gastroenteric apparatus as well as anti-inflammatory activity and gastric tolerance. The most evident secondary effects were: a certain sedation, as a light tranquillizing agent, a hypothermic effect when it was administered at high doses, a certain beta-blocking and antiarrhythmic activity probably due to its local anaesthetic action. All the side effects appeared at high doses, much higher than the therapeutic ones.
