[A preclinical study on the safety of a new antialcoholic drug inmecarb]

A preclinical study on safety of a new antialcoholic drug inmecarb was carried out on three species of experimental animals (rats, guinea pigs, dogs) receiving the drug at different doses including a subtoxic one (1/5 of LD50) for 6 months. The authors concluded that on the basis of a relatively low toxicity and the absence of specific toxicity and long-term side effects the drug may be recommended for clinical use as an antialcoholic agent.
