ABSTRACT:

Dimecron (Phosphamidon) (2 Chloro-2-diethyl carbamoy 1-Methyl Vinyl diroctby) pbnsphate) 5 mg Kg body weight was injected intraperitonealiy (i p) daily for 10 days. The dairy i p dose of Dimecron (Hindustan Ciba Geigy Ltd.) depleted the level of D N A i n all brain regions, whereas the level of R N A decreased in cerebral hemisphere and increased in rest of the brain parts. Increased level of Protein was observed in cerebral hemisphere while the level decreased in cerebellum and brain stem
