Abstract:
This article provides a review of Russian and international literature on the importance of comprehensive medical and social interventions for the prevention and treatment of gerontological pathologies. The morphological and biochemical foundations of brain aging are examined, and methods for pharmacological correction of these changes are presented. The broad therapeutic effects of the original Russian drug ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (Mexidol), based on its biochemical mechanisms of action, its high clinical efficacy, and its favorable safety profile with no drug interactions make Mexidol a promising candidate for the comprehensive treatment of elderly patients.

Key words : brain aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, cognitive functions, G-protein coupled receptor 91, succinate, ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, Mexidol.
