Abstract
In a dose of 25 mg/kg, 20 min after intraperitoneal injection, ethimizole stimulates oxidative phosphorylation, increases the creatine phosphate content and reduces the concentration of inorganic phosphorus in the brain tissue of rats. It is postulated that ethimizole stimulates energy metabolism through its activating effect on adenyl cyclase.
