[6,8-Dimethyl-2-piperidinomethyl-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-f]xanthine: a new inductor of the monooxygenase system inhibits experimental intrahepatic cholestasis in rats].

6,8-Dimethyl-2-piperidinomethyl-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-f]xanthine, a new inductor of the monooxygenase system, inhibited the development of experimental intrahepatic cholestasis induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate in rats. The drug stimulated the detoxicating function of liver, increased the survivability of rats, restored the level of microsomal protein and cytochrome P-450, decreased the cell-average erythrocyte fragility, and reduced the activity of cholestasis markers and the amount of TBA-active products in hepatocytes.
