Dynamics of behavioral disorders in transgenic mice with modeled Alzheimer's disease.

Age-related development of behavioral disorders in transgenic mice with modeled Alzheimer's disease carrying V6S3-Tg(APP695)85Dbo Tg(PSENI)85Dbo) genotype was assessed at the age of 7.5, 10 and 20 months in the following tests: open-field, plus maze, T-maze, conditioned passive avoidance response, rotarod, conflict situation with water deprivation, behavioral despair, and arecoline tremor. The main behavioral disorder in transgenic mice at all observation terms was memory impairment in conditioning with positive (but not negative) reinforcement.

Possible involvement of neurokinin receptors in CNS and neuromuscular synapse in the realization of the effects of CAPAH and substance P.

Nootropic non-anticholinesterase organophosphorus preparation CAPAH and substance P produced similar and dose-dependent effects on the amplitude and temporal parameters of miniature endplate potentials in mammalian neuromuscular synapse. Neurokinin receptor antagonist Win-51.708 abolished the effects of these agents.

[Neuroprotective effect of kapakh, representative of new nootropic class non-anticholinesterase organophosphoric compounds].

In vivo and in vitro experiments revealed the neuroprotective activity of CAPAH, a representative of the new nootropic class phosphorylated carboxylic acid hydrazides. The mechanisms of this action, which were due to the membranous stabilizing activity of the drug and its affinity for glycine strychnine-sensitive sites of MMDA receptors (Ki = 8.8.
