[Study of the neuroprotective action of hybrid structures based on fullerene C60].

The neuroprotective action of hybrid structures based on fullerene C60 with attached proline amino acid has been studied. Hybrid structures contained natural antioxidant carnosine or addends with one or two nitrate groups. It has been shown that all studied compounds had antioxidant activity and decreased the concentration of malondialdehyde in homogenates of the rat brain.

[Anticonvulsants as bioantioxidants under stress conditions].

The action of heterocyclic amides series (ethosuximide, phenytoin, primidone) on lipid peroxidation and membrane bound monoamine oxidases A and B under stress condition has been studied. The intraperitoneal injection of the drugs resulted in enhancement of SOD, decrease of brain malondialdehyde content and mitochondrial activity of monoamine oxidases A and B.
