[Biologically active substances from medicinal plants as a factor of the organism detoxication]
Abstract:
Reported detail analysis of reguirements to the multicomponents plant systems for detoxication and cleaning of stomach and intestinal tract including absorption of harmful compounds, compensation of losses of benefit micronutrients, antiinflamatory, antiucler, anticancer activity, increase local immunity, activation of intestinal endocrinocytes, antioxidative and antihypoxantive activity ets. Molecular mechanisms of body detoxication with participation of medicinal and food plants compounds are discussed. Its include influence of this compounds on a) biochemical mechanism of detoxication and elimination from tissues of hydrophobic xenobiotics, drugs and hydrophobic metabolits (microsomal monooxygenases--cytochrome P-450--dependent system) and enzymes of conjugation(glutathion--S-transferase, glucuronyltransferase etc.; b) on antioxidant system (enzymatic superoxidedismutase-glutathionperoxidase and catalase seguence) and nonenzymatic chains (influence of flavonoids, anticyanines, antioxidant vitamins etc.)

Antidotes
Specific antidotes operate by inhibiting the enzymes that control biochemical pathways, reducing the production of harmful metabolites.
An example of an antidote is atropine, which counteracts the detrimental effects of cholinesterase inhibitors. It achieves this by deactivating muscarinic receptors,...

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
Renal excretion is the...
