Comparative pharmacology of a 1:10 combination of indomethacin-sodium salicylate.

It has been found that gastrointestinal side-effects of indomethacin could be abolished when administered in combination indomethacin:sodium salicylate (ratio 1:10). In this paper comparative pharmacological data of this combination and its basal compounds are presented. Acute toxicity of the combined preparation was 72 times less in rats than that of indomethacin alone. All therapeutic indexes were markedly increased in the combination of indomethacin-sodium salicylate compared with the separate drug treatments.

Tape test as a simple new method for the study of compounds increasing the problem-solving ability of the rat.

A simple new method, the "tape test" has been developed for studying the enhancement of learning by drugs in "learning-dull" rats. A piece of adhesive tape is pressed on the left front pad of the rats. The time of tape removal by the animal, i.e., the problem-solving time is measured. In our experiments the selected learning-dull rats were used which were unable to remove the tape within 60 s observed on 3 consecutive days. The problem-solving ability of the rats was studied on 4 consecutive days, by posttrial administration. The problem-solving ability was found to be increased after treatment with different drugs such as para-chlorphenylalanine (PCPA), pemolin, orotic acid, vitamin B12. The stimulatory effect of vitamin B12 could be inhibited by vincristine.
