Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how chronic exposure to digoxin affects locomotor activity and brain chemistry in zebrafish.
  • Zebrafish were housed in groups and exposed to 2 μM of digoxin for a week, resulting in increased hyperactivity and decreased anxiety in a novel environment test.
  • The findings reveal significant changes in brain monoamine levels, indicating that cardiotonic steroids like digoxin can influence neurotransmission, which might have implications for neuropsychiatric conditions.

Unlabelled: Monoamine neurotransmitter system dysfunctions lead to behavioral disorders, cognitive metabolic, and other pathological conditions. In this case, different amino acids are precursors of monoamines, while the parenteral path of monoamine administration has pharmacological restrictions. Therefore, intranasal administration one of the most promising methods of delivering an active substance is.

Background: Intracerebral cannulation bypasses the blood-brain barrier, and is frequently used for targeted drug delivery to specific brain structures. Despite the availability of brain infusion kits and manual injections without cannulation, the traditional design of guide cannulas continues to be utilized in research. Several protocols describing guide cannula manufacture from stainless steel needles have been published previously.

Cardiotonic steroids (CTSs), such as digoxin, are used for heart failure treatment. However, digoxin permeates the brain-blood barrier (BBB), affecting central nervous system (CNS) functions. Finding a CTS that does not pass through the BBB would increase CTSs' applicability in the clinic and decrease the risk of side effects on the CNS.

Derivatives of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), also known as oxylipins, are key participants in regulating inflammation. Neuroinflammation is involved in many neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease. The development of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) facilitated the study of oxylipins on a system level, i.
