Abstract :
Stroke or ischemia is caused by a blockage in a specific blood vessel that partially or completely reduces the
blood flow to the brain. Nutritional factors such as antioxidants and healthy eating patterns are important
variables in preventing stroke. Molecular composition properties such as molecular binding and screening can
be used to evaluate the specific activity and morphological changes. The present study aimed to evaluate the
effectiveness of pharmacological correction of the consequences of a hemorrhagic stroke in rats with a new
derivative of taurine magnesium-bis-(2-aminoethanesulfonic)-butadioate. The animals (n=170) were divided
into four groups as follows: 1) control group (n=20), 2) group 2 suffered a hemorrhagic stroke without
pharmacological correction (n=50), 3) group 3 (n=50) underwent simulation of hemorrhagic stroke received
Taurine at the dose of 50 mg/kg, 4) Group 4 underwent simulation of hemorrhagic stroke with correction of
hemorrhagic stroke with magnesium-bis-(2-aminoethanesulfonic)-butadioate at the dose of 150 mg/kg (LKHT
3-17) (n=50). Hemorrhagic stroke was induced by transfusing autologous blood into the parietal lobe of the
right hemisphere of the brain. Lethality, neurological status, locomotor, and exploratory behavior, as well as the
morphological pattern of the brain damage, were assessed on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days after the pathology
simulation. Neurological deficit was determined in animals by the McGrow stroke index scale. The locomotor
and exploratory behavior was evaluated using the Acti-track software and hardware complex. Two criteria were
considered when assessing morphological changes in the brain: the average thickness of the cerebral cortex (in
micrometers) and the number of neurons without degenerative changes. LKHT 3-17 (150 mg/kg) and taurine
(50 mg/kg) reduced lethality by 1.7 and 1.36 times, respectively, on the 3rd day after stroke compared to that of
the control (p<0.05). In parallel, a neurological deficit was effectively corrected LKHT 3-17 and taurine to
5.3±0.8 and 6.5±0.9, respectively, on the 1st day in contrast to the control of 8.1±0.7 points. The locomotor and
exploratory behavior was significantly different on the 7th day and was accompanied by a significant increase in
total activity under the influence of LKHT 3-17 to 491 conventional units (CU) compared to the control of 110
conventional units. On the 1st day, the thickness of the cortex was 1943.7±44.08 μm, and 1491.0±38.61 μm in
the control and LKHT 3-17 groups, respectively. The number of neurons without neurodegenerative changes
prevailed in LKHT 3-17 group (18.7±4.32), and the lowest number was observed in the group without
pharmacological correction of the pathology (14.3±3.78). The taurine derivative magnesium-bis-(2- aminoethanesulfonic)-butadioate, which is a combination of the amino acid, magnesium ion, and succinic acid,
decreases the neurological deficits, lethality, and enhances the locomotor and exploratory behavior in
experimental hemorrhagic stroke in rats. The effect of the studied medication on the dynamics of molecular
pathophysiological mechanisms occurring in the cell requires additional research.
