In a study involving 33 patients with initial manifestations of inadequate cerebral blood supply and in 22 patients with transient disorders of the cerebral circulation in the presence of atherosclerosis (n = 45) and atherosclerosis with arterial hypertension (n = 8) the authors studied the effect of intravenous administration of cavinton in combination with sulfocamphocain on the clinical manifestations and on the systemic (using the method of Evans' dilution) and cerebral (using Doppler ultrasonography) hemodynamics. It has been demonstrated that both a single intravenous administration of cavinton in conjunction with sulfocamphocain and a course of treatment with these drugs reduce the volume of the circulating blood, lower the stroke and cardiac indices, increase the linear velocity of blood flow along the carotid and vertebral arteries, and decrease neurological symptomatology. The authors discuss the questions related to indications for the administration of cavinton in combination with sulfocamphocain to patients with inadequate cerebral blood supply and transient disorders of the cerebral circulation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is marked by gradual neuronal decline and subsequent loss of cognitive functions and memory, poses significant treatment challenges. The present study involved the development, , and evaluation of a novel intranasal mucoadhesive in-situ gel of vinpocetine (VIN) with the aim to target the brain. An innovative gel formulation composed of poloxamer 407, HPMC E15 LV, and citric acid as a solubilizer was developed by 2 Factorial Design.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as intracranial injury, is a common condition with the highest incidence rate among neurodegenerative disorders and poses a significant public health burden. Various methods are used in the treatment of TBI, but the effects of cold-induced traumatic brain injury have not been thoroughly studied. In this context, vinpocetine (VPN), derived from Vinca minor, exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) is present with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vinpocetine (Vinpo) is used for treating cerebrovascular deficits, exhibiting some kidney-beneficial effects; however, its role in TIF is uncertain. So, the aim of this study was to investigate its potential impact on adenine-induced fibrotic CKD and explore the underlying mechanistic aspects.

Vinpocetine (VP) is distributed after oral and intravenous administration, and its uptake in the thalamus, basal ganglia, and visual cortex. Due to poor bioavailability (~7%) and marked first-pass effect (~75%), including a short half-life (2-3 h), oral administration of VP is limited. It requires frequent administration of the drug to obtain a therapeutic effect.

Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid reductase inhibitor that manages various malignancies as well as immune-mediated inflammatory chronic diseases. Despite being frequently prescribed, MTX's severe multiple toxicities can occasionally limit its therapeutic potential. Intestinal toxicity is a severe adverse effect associated with the administration of MTX, and patients are significantly burdened by MTX-provoked intestinal mucositis.
