Alcoholism (Alcohol Abuse)

07/01/1988 - "Ca AOTA appears to be a promising drug against alcoholism because of its effects on the multiple targets involved in the mechanism of alcohol dependence. "
07/01/1988 - "Since Ca AOTA is the most active against acetaldehyde and ethanol toxicity, this central nervous action first relies on its effects on neuromodulators, neuromediators and cations primarily involved in the mechanisms of alcohol dependence through its taurine (TA) structure, its gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist actions, its anti-opioid receptor "naloxone-like" effects and its possible activity as a subcellular Ca carrier.
