The purpose of the study. To study the effect of Mexol's drug on the level of factors regulating neurogenesis.

Material and methods. The study is performed on Wistar rats. Focal cerebral ischemia was reproduced by endovascular occlusion-repertension of the right middle brain artery according to the J. Koizumi method (1986). The duration of occlusion was 60 minutes. During the start of reperfusion of animals, saline or Mexidol at a dose of 50 mg/kg were once introduced once intravenously. After 4, 8 hours and 24 hours after the start of reperfusion in the ischemic hemisphere, the relative number of molecules regulating neurogenesis was estimated by Western-Blot. Additionally, 24 hours after the start of reperfusion, the size of the cerebral infarction was analyzed after painting with a 1% solution of 2.3.5, -rypheniltetrazoli.

Results. When modeling occlusion-reperture of the medium brain artery, the volume of necrosis in the affected hemisphere of animals, which was introduced by the physiological solution, was 37.75 ± 7.46%, the administration of Mexidol at a dose of 50 mg/kg led to a decrease in necrosis to 20.48 ± 2.33% (p = 0,0006). Modeling Occlusion-Reperterposition of the middle cerebral artery was accompanied by the activation of neurotrophic factors IGF-1, NGF and vascular factor of VEGF. A single intravenous administration of Mexidol at a dose of 50 mg/kg during reperfusion was accompanied by a more significant increase
in the level of neurotrophic factors IGF-1, NGF, BDNF and VEGF in the ischemized area of ​​the brain compared to the introduction of saline, which leads to an increase in neuro-regeneration for all surveillance periods (4, 8 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours and 24 hours After reperfusion), the marker of which is tubulin-3.

Conclusion. The results indicate that Mexidol not only has a protective effect on neurons, but can also stimulate neuroregeneration, increasing the level of basic regulatory molecules.

Summary:
Purpose of the study. To study the effect of ethyl-hydroxypyridine of the succinate (EMGPS) on the anti-Bolar effect of the non-election inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COO) of the sodium diclofenac and selective chief-2 ethrioxib inhibitor on the models of acute visceral and somatic pain and evaluate the possibility of using EMGPS in combination with the inhibitors of the TSU for the reduction their doses with the preservation of anti -Bolar efficiency . Material and methods. The effect of EMGPS was studied with a single oral effect on anti-Bolar effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): a non-melting inhibitor of the diclofenac sodium and selective TSOG-2-2 etrica inhibitor-on the models of acute visceral (vinegar croching test) and somatic pains (formalin tests the one Hyperalgesia with inflammation) in an experiment on mice and rats. Results. On the model of acute visceral pain in EMGPS mice (25–100 mg/kg) does not have a significant effect on its severity, but enhances the anti -Bolea effect of sodium diclofenac (0.5 mg/kg) and ethricoxib (1 mg/kg). In the formalin test in rats that simulates pain during operational cuts (injury), EMGPS (25 mg/kg) increases the severity of the anti -folly action of TSOG inhibitors (1 mg/kg) primarily due to a decrease in pain in the acute phase, due to the effect of formalin on afferent neurons . On the model of mechanical hyperalgesia in rats caused by exudative inflammation after injection of the Karraginan solution in the paw, the EMGPS enhances the effect of diclofenac to a greater extent than ethricoxib. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate the appropriateness of clinical study of the use of EMGPS in combination with NSAIDs for visceral and somatic pain in order to evaluate its ability to increase the therapeutic effect of NSAIDs. Keywords: ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs, visceral pain, somatic pain, mouse, rats.

Resume

The purpose of the study . Studying the ability of the drug Mexidol to induce cerebral mitochondriogenesis in the brain of young and aging rats.
Material and methods. In the cerebral cortex of young (3 months; n = 216) and aging (6, 9, 12 and 15 months; n = 168), outbred rats by Western-Blot Analysis, the level of expression of cerebral mitochondriogenesis protein-markers with course use of Mexidol (20, 40, 100 mg/kg; 20 days; intra-abdominal).
Results. For the first time, it was shown that the exchange rate of Mexidol in doses of 40 and 100 mg/kg is accompanied by a dose-dependent induction of SUCNR1 sucnr1 and mitochondrial biogenesis proteins: PGC-1α transcriptional coactivator, transcription factors (NRF1, TFAM), catalytic subunits of respiratory enzymes (NDUFV2, SDHA, CYT B, COX2) and ATP-syntase (ATP5A) in the cerebral cortex of outbred rats of young and aging age. Mexol-dependent oven-sequences of subunits of mitochondrial enzymes and PGC-1α are noted only with the course use of the drug.
Conclusion. The data obtained indicate the ability of Mexidol to induce cerebral mitochondriogenesis and eliminate mitochondrial dysfunction in young and aging animals and, thus, influence one of the key pathogenetic links in the development of disorders during aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Summary:
Purpose of the study. Studying the influence of Mexidol on cognitive and motor functions disturbed during aging, the threshold of convulsive reaction, body weight and life expectancy in the old rat smams of the Vistar line. Material and methods. In a long experiment, a violation of cognitive functions (a test of conditional reflex of passive avoidance), motor disorders (tests of a rotating rod and pulling on the crossbar), a convulsive threshold (a test of subcutaneous administration of the pentilentetrazole), an animal mass and life expectancy were evaluated in a long experiment. Mexidol in the form of a 0.15% solution that replaced drinking water, rats received 2 courses of 2 months: at the age of 18-20 and 22-24 months. The dose of Mexidol consumed by the rat was 40–75 mg/kg/day. Results. Mexol in the old rat smams of the Vistar line with prolonged course use improves training, preservation and reproduction of a memorable trace in the test of conditional reflex of passive avoidance, increases the convulsive threshold and improves muscle tone and coordination of movements disturbed during aging, and increases life expectancy. The use of Mexidol allows us to prevent a significant increase in body weight, characteristic of aging. Conclusion. Mexidol reduces the severity of the cognitive and neurological deficiency that occurs during aging in the rats of the Vistar line, increases the threshold of convulsive reaction and increases life expectancy, which is determined by its ability to influence mitochondrioogenesis and antioxidant properties. Keywords: aging, Mexidol, life expectancy, memory violation, neurological deficit, convulsive threshold.

Summary:
Purpose of the study. Comparative chemorectic analysis of the Mexidol molecule (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate) with control molecules (alpha alphascerate, piracetam, glycine, semax). Material and methods . Comparisons of the chemical structure of Mexidol with molecules in the database of human metabolism and molecules in the databases of drugs. More than 40,000 compounds given in the HMDB (Human Metabolome Database) were used as a human metabolism. Results and conclusion. Hemorestom analysis showed that Mexidol can be an agonist of acetylcholine and gamut-a receptors; anti -inflammatory agent, the effects of which occur due to inhibiting the synthesis of pro -inflammatory prostaglandins; neuroprotective agent with neurotrophic properties; coagulation inhibitor; sugar -lowering and hyalipidemic agents. Mexol molecules are distinguished by a more pronounced safety profile (less impact on serotonin, dopamine and adrenergic receptors, a lower degree of interaction with potassium potatoes, Mao enzymes and p450 cytochromas). The results of modeling allow at the molecular level to clarify the mechanism of action of the Mexidol molecule.
