Abstract

Relevance. Depression and cognitive impairment are common complications of acute cerebrovascular accidents. Disorders of hippocampal neuroplasticity associated with a decrease in BDNF expression are considered as one of the causes of these complications. A dimeric dipeptide mimetic of the BDNF loop 4, (bis (N-monosuccinyl-L-seryl-L-lysine) hexamethylenediamide) (GSB-106) was created at the V.V. Zakusov Research Institute of Pharmacology. GSB-106 demonstrated antidepressant, neuroprotective and neuroregenera-tive properties in in vivo experiments. Objective. Experiments were performed on 40 male rats Wistar weighing 240-280 g. Purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of GSB-106 on depression-like behavior and memory impairments in rats induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Material and methods. GSB-106 was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg for 21 days after surgery. Depressive-like be havior was detected in the forced swimming test, and memory impairments - in the novel object recognition test. Conclusions. GSB-106 is a promising compound for further development as a drug for the treatment of post-stroke depression and cognitive impairment.
