Abstract
The neuroprotective activity of tryptanthrin and its oxime was compared in male Wistar rats with a model of intraluminal occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Neurobehavioral tests were performed 4, 24, and 48 h after focal cerebral infarction (FCI) using a modified neurological severity score (mNSS); additionally, the horizontal stability test, the plantar sensitivity test of the fore and hind limbs, holding on the tilted cage top test, and negative geotaxis test were performed. The size of FCI and the severity of brain tissue swelling were examined on day 2 after occlusion. Tryptanthrin and its oxime were administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally during FCI, then daily for 2 days. In the control group, the mean score of neurological deficit remained at a high level for 2 days. FCI size was 43.8±3.4% of hemisphere area, and the hemisphere volume increased by 18.5±2.0% due to brain tissue swelling and edema. Administration of tryptanthrin and its oxime significantly decreased neurological deficits at all control points and reduced FCI size (by 24.2 and 30.4%, respectively) and brain tissue swelling of the affected hemisphere (by 64.9 and 62.7%, respectively). Therefore, the neuroprotective effect of tryptanthrine and its oxime in the acute period of FCI is largely determined by their anti-inflammatory activity.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
