Identification of actoprotective compounds among Krebs cycle acid/aminoethanol derivatives

Abstract

The screening study of the effects of several new diethylamino- and dimethylaminoethanol fumaric esters with Krebs cycle intermediates on the physical performance of male mice in the forced swimming test have been conducted. The compounds: Fumarate-DMAE-Fumarate at a dose of 75 mg/kg and Fumarate-DEAE-Succinate at a dose of 10 mg/kg, as well as Diethylaminoethanol (DEAE base) at a dose of 50 mg/kg. The study has shown that their effect on physical performance surpassed the comparison drug, deanol aceglumate, used at the optimal dose of 50 mg/kg. The latter provided a 74% increase in the maximum swimming time of animals, while the studied compounds showed +175%, +162%, +121% results compared to control. The actoprotective activity of the compounds Fumarate-DMAE-Fumarate (75 mg/kg dose) and Fumarate-DEAE-Succinate (FDES) (10 mg/kg dose) is comparable to the effect of ethylthiobenzimidazole hydrochloride (25 mg/kg dose).
