EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF ADEMOL ON THE DYNAMICS OF NEURON-SPECIFIC ENOLASE IN TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY IN RATS.

The great hopes of modern medicine for neuroprotective therapy have stimulated scientists around the world to actively search for new effective means of influencing the pathophysiological cascades of the development of neuronal damage. Aim. To evaluate the effect of the use of the adamantane derivative 1-adamantylethyloxa-3-morpholino-2-propanol hydrochloride (ademol) compared with amantadine sulfate and 0.9% NaCl solution on the activity dynamics of neuron-specific enolase in rats with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) . The therapeutic effect of ademol in experimental traumatic brain injury was evaluated using a dose of 2 mg/kg (i/v) every 12 hours for 8 days. The pseudo-operated animals and the control group received a 0.9% NaCl solution at a dose of 2 ml/kg i/v, and the comparison group received amantadine sulfate at a dose of 5 mg/kg in the same mode. To determine the effectiveness of the studied drugs in brain injury, the level of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was used. The course infusion in rats with TBI of solutions of ademol (2 mg/kg) and amantadine sulfate (5 mg/kg) during the 8 days of the TBI model, significantly reduced the increase in the NSE level in animals of the control pathology group by an average of 52.1 and 38.2%. Thus, the results obtained indicate that when using ademol at a dose of 2 mg/kg i/v and amantadine sulfate (5 mg/kg i/v), powerful neurocytoprotective properties appear against the background of a model head injury. Moreover, the neuroprotective effect of ademol manifested itself more clearly, since in terms of the ability to prevent the increase in NSE levels, it significantly dominated the reference drug by an average of 22.5%.
