    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Acute hypoxia triggers oxidative stress, leading to lipid peroxidation and suppressed antioxidant defenses.
    • Understanding protective mechanisms against hypoxia-induced damage is crucial for developing therapeutic interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the protective effects of ethomerzol against acute hypoxia-induced oxidative stress in rats.
    • To elucidate the antioxidant mechanisms of ethomerzol in vivo and in vitro.

    Main Methods:

    • Administration of ethomerzol (25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) to albino rats prior to inducing acute hypoxia.
    • Measurement of lipid peroxidation markers (conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde) and antioxidant parameters (thiols, enzyme activities) in brain and liver tissues.
    • In vitro assessment of ethomerzol's inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation in liposomes and brain homogenates.

    Main Results:

    • Ethomerzol administration significantly prevented lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system suppression in the brain and liver of rats exposed to acute hypoxia.
    • In vivo, ethomerzol decreased levels of conjugated dienes and malondialdehyde while increasing thiol levels and antioxidant enzyme activities.
    • In vitro studies demonstrated ethomerzol's ability to inhibit Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation in both liposomal and brain homogenate models.

    Conclusions:

    • Ethomerzol exhibits potent antioxidant properties and effectively protects against acute hypoxia-induced oxidative damage in vivo.
    • The compound's mechanism involves the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the enhancement of endogenous antioxidant systems.
    • Ethomerzol represents a potential therapeutic agent for conditions associated with oxidative stress and hypoxia.
