Dimephosphonum:
Professor Vadim G. Malyshev, Head of the Department of Pathology, Ulyanovsk State University, Russia, is studying the biological properties of new phosphorous-containing drugs, synthesized at the Kazan State Institute of Organic and Physical Chemistry. He reports that one of these agents, Dimephosphonum, produces a normalizing effect on the functioning of the nervous system, mechanisms of blood circulation control, the tonicity of vessels, and on the acid-base state in acidosis of different aetiology and membrane functions of tissues.
When locally applied, he reports that dimephosphonum exhibits an antiseptic, antiphlogistic, and antiallergenic effect, increasing the protective barrier of the skin and the mucous membrane functions, thus contributing to the healing of wounds.

Dimephosphonum produced a normalizing effect on

1. Brain functioning in stroke due to:
   1. Vertebral and carotid artery lesions (initial manifestations, transient ischemic attacks, ischemic and haemorrhagic insults, post insult complications, discirculatory encephalopathy, myelopathy and radiculopathy)
   2. Arterial hypertension
   3. Vasomotor dystonia
2. In neurosurgical trauma in the course of cranial and spinal operations;
3. In craniocerebral injuries (concussion and contusion of brain);
4. In Meniere's syndrome and disease.
5. In vegetative dysfunction.

Malyshev reports that dimephosphonum is more effective than sermionum and pyracetam in correction of cerebral vessel reactivity.
