Comparative analysis of metal-complex and aminothiol antihypoxants efficiencies in the experiment

Abstract

Aim. Comparative analysis of the efficiency of metal-complex (πQ1983, πQ2721) and aminothiol (Amtizole, Sunazole) antihypoxants in experiments on rats exposed to acute hypoxia with hypercapnia. Methods. Experiments performed on 182 male rats of Wistar line weighing 150-170 g. The study of antihypoxic activity of substances was carried out on the model the AH+Hc. The condition of acute hypoxia in rats was formed by placing them in glass airtight containers with a free volume of 1.0 L. Antihypoxic effect was evaluated by the life expectancy of animals in the described conditions. Substances πQ2721, πQ1983, Amtizole and Sunazole was administered once intraperitoneally at doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg. Previously each substance was dissolved in 0.9% NaCl (1.0 ml). Testing the effectiveness of the substances on AH+Hc model was carried out after 1 h after administration of the substances and after 24 h. Animals of control groups were injected with 1.0 ml of 0.9% NaCl. In animals exposed to test AH+Hc in 1 h after administration were performed measurements of the rectal temperature before the experiment and through 1 h after administration, i.e. before AH+Hc. In animals selected for 24-hour observation, rectal temperature was measured before the experiment, and then after 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h of observation, after which they were exposed to AH+Hc. Results. The antihypoxic effect of a selenium-containing substance πQ2721 based on Zn2+ was confirmed in experiments on rats. In a number of substances for comparison the πQ2721 proved himself not only as equally effective. It is found that after 1 h after administration at a dose of 50 mg/kg πQ2721 superior to all studied compounds, including antihypoxant with succinate Sunazole. An important advantage of the new promising antihypoxic agent was the preservation of its action for 24 hours after injection. (For citation: Evseev AV, Surmenev DV, Evseeva MA, et al.
