Abstract

The study purpose to evaluate the effect of the Lophanthus chinensis dry extract on the Wistar rats brain morphofunctional state against the background of long-term alcoholization.

Material and methods. Alcohol intoxication was induced by long-term administration (6 weeks) of 40% ethanol in rats. Lophanthus chinensis dry extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg was administered from the 3rd week of the experiment. On days 42-45, the animals were tested in an "open field", an elevated plus maze, and they developed a conditioned passive avoidance reaction. After which a neurons pathomorphological study in the cerebral cortex was carried out.

Results. It has been established that L. chinensis dry extract exhibits a neuroprotective effect during long-term alcohol intoxication, preventing the development of structural disorders in the cerebral cortex, thereby reducing anxiety and emotionality in animals, enhancing orientation-exploratory activity and normalizing mnestic functions.

Conclusion. L. chinensis dry extract has a neuroprotective effect during long-term alcohol intoxication.
