The influence of new coumarin derivatives on survival rate of mice in model conditions of acute hypoxia

Abstract

Objective. The article is devoted to study the anti-hypoxemic properties of new coumarin derivatives in the models of hypoxemic hypoxia with hypercapnia, hemic hypoxia and histotoxic hypoxia. Materials and methods. Нypoxemic hypoxia with hypercapnia was modeled as follows: mice were placed in hermetic 200 cm3 jars one in a jar. Hemic hypoxia was reproduced in mice by single subcutaneous introduction of sodium nitrite in a dose of 230 mg/kg. Histotoxic hypoxia was caused in mice by intraperitoneal introduction of sodium nitroprusside in a dose of 20 mg/kg. Coumarin derivatives under lab codes IEM-2266 and IEM-2267 were dissolved in distilled water with addition of twin-80, and then a single intraperitoneal infusion of them in doses 25 and 50 mg/kg was made 45 minutes before placing to the model conditions. Increased life time of an animal compared with the control served the criterion of anti-hypoxemic effect of the studied substances. Results. In hypoxemic hypoxia with hypercapnia test compound under IEM-2267 in doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg increased mice life time by 26 and 34% respectively in comparison with control. In hemic hypoxia model, the positive effect was seen with IEM-2266 compound in a dose of 50 mg/kg which increased life time of animals by 45% in comparison with control. In histotoxic hypoxia model, at preventive introduction of IEM-2266 compound in a dose of 25 mg/kg and IEM-2267 in a dose of 50 mg/kg life time increased up to 117% and 123% respectively. Conclusion. The coumarin derivatives IEM-2266 and IEM-2267 relieved the course of acute hypoxia and increased life time of animals in the models of hypoxemic hypoxia with hypercapnia, hemic hypoxia and histotoxic hypoxia.
