Abstract
The antiradical properties and biological activity of carnitine 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine (СP) were investigated. The drug had high antiradical activity. In the concentration range 10-6–10-9M, CP prevented the activation of lipid peroxidation in the membranes of mouse liver mitochondria incubated in a hypotonic medium. Such an incubation caused a change in the fatty acid (FA) composition of the lipid component of mitochondrial membranes: the total relative percentage of 18:2ω6, 18:1ω9 and 22:6ω3 – the main FAs that make up cardiolipin decreased by 8.1%. The introduction of CP into the incubation medium led not only to the restoration of the pool of these FAs, but also to an increase in their content by 15%, which, possibly, contributed to an increase in the efficiency of mitochondrial functioning and an increase in the body’s resistance to stress.
