Abstract
The effects of the nootropic peptides selank (300 mg/kg), noopept (1 mg/kg), and semax (0.6 mg/kg) after subchronic intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intranasal (i.n.) administration on the binding of [3H]-MDL105,51 to NMDA glycine site in BALB/c and C57Bl/6 mice brain were examined. It was found that in C57Bl/6 mice in comparison with BALB/c the number of glycine binding sites (Bmax) at baseline was 15% higher in the cortex and 47% lower in the hippocampus. In the cortex i.n. administration of selank, noopept, and semax resulted in 18, 19, and 66% decrease in the number of glycine binding sites in BALB/c mice, and in 53, 49, and 66% in C57Bl/6 mice, respectively. In the hippocampus i.n. administration of selank, noopept, and semax resulted in 15, 63, and 95% increase in the number of glycine binding sites in BALB/c mice, respectively, while in C57Bl/6 mice all three peptides were not effective. In the cortex i.p. administration of selank and semax decreased glycine binding sites by 24 and 40% in the cortex and by 11 and 19% in the hippocampus in BALB/c mice, while in C57Bl/6 mice the reduction was 15% and 47% in the cortex and 45 and 24% in the hippocampus, respectively. Noopept did not affect the binding. These patterns observed in the cortex after i.n. and i.p. administration appear to be common to the both mice strains suggesting an engagement of the cortical NMDA glycine site in action(s) that underlie some common pharmacological effects of the selected peptides. Whereas the specific effect of selank, noopept, and semax after i.n. administration in the BALB/c hippocampi may be associated with the mechanisms of nootropic and anxiolytic activities of these peptides manifested in that mice strain.
