Abstract

The administration of new Schiff heterocyclic bases and their copper (II) complexes, thiosemicarbazide derivativesinduces various influences on the activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes in splenic tissue. The selective action of thestudied compounds on the expression of glutathione enzymes is evident, which is manifested by a tendency of insignificantdecrease of glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPO), insignificant increase of glutathione-S-transferase(GST) and marked depression of glutaredoxin levels. The slight increase of GST under the action of the studied compoundscan be considered as a protective reaction aimed at stagnating the intensity of peroxide processes and supporting the activityof the glutathione cycle, and decreased the activity of glutaredoxin denotes their antiproliferative, cytostatic effect. Furtherstudies are needed to evaluate the mechanisms of action of the investigated compounds on the activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes in other biosystems and animal experiments, to assess the practical importance of the obtained results.
