Abstract
We studied the influence of a derivative of 2-benzamido-2-(2-oxoindolin-2-iliden) acetic acid, which is designated as ZNM, on locomotor and orienting–exploratory activity, the state of muscle tonus, and coordination of movements, as well as on the physical stamina of rats after a moderate closed traumatic brain injury. It was revealed that the ZNM derivative promotes a change of the locomotor activity profile with an increase in orienting–exploratory activity and a decrease in the emotionality in animals, an increase in physical stamina in the swimming test with a load, and improved coordination of movements in the rod rotating test. The results of the studies indicate that the pharmacological activity profile of ZNM is similar to that of the reference drug mexidol: cerebroprotective, anxiolytic, and sedative effects.
