[The pathomorphological characteristics of the action on the body of the antitumor antibiotic asterin under stress conditions].
The action (on the organism) of antitumour antibiotic asterine isolated from plant of family Asteraceae under stress conditions at D. K. Zabolotnyĭ Institute of Microbiology and Virology has been pathomorphologically characterized. Asterine is stated to be able to decrease the harmful effect of stressor, preventing the expression of structural alterations in adrenal glands, cortex and lungs of stress-subjected organism. Adaptogenic effect of antitumour antibiotic is confirmed.
