Abstract:
Neuroprotective effects of heptapeptide mystixin were studied on the neurons of the olfactory cortex in cultured slices of rat brain. Repeated applications of mystixin in doses of 100 mg/ml on brain slices rapidly reduced the amplitudes of AMPA and NMDA receptor-dependent processes. The effects were reversible and activities of these processes partly restored after washout. The peptide in a dose of 250 mg/ml suppressed epileptic discharges induced by chemical convulsive agent pentylenetetrazole. Thus, heptapeptide mystixin exhibited significant neuroprotective properties.
