The pharmacological properties of coenzyme A disulfide

: Coenzyme A disulfide (CoA disulfide) was pharmacologically studied. It has been found to normalize lipid and carbohydrate metabolism when given in a dose of 2 mg/kg, i.m., in diverse liver dysfunctions. It possesses an antihypoxic action under hemic and histotoxic hypoxia. When given in small doses (80-160 micrograms/kg, i.v.), CoA disulfide depresses the function of cellular hemostasis.
