Polyprenols as Promising Neuropharmacological Agents

Abstract

The article presents information about the potential effectiveness of polyprenols as a means of neuropharmacology. To confirm the neuroprotective effect of polyprenols, their effectiveness was studied in the case of chronic exposure to carbendazim. In such conditions, chronic damage to nerve cells is developed through violating the homeostasis of neurospecific proteins (S-100, MBP) and trophic factors, as well as a sharp activation of lipid peroxidation processes. The administration of polyphenols (2 mg/kg once a day for 2 weeks) to laboratory animals under modelled conditions reduced the manifestations of neurointoxication and statistically significantly contributed to the reduction of oxidative stress and activation of antioxidant defence enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase).
