New Xymedon Analogues for Stimulation of Posttraumatic Regeneration of the Spinal Cord in Rats

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Effect of systemic administration of synthetic pyrimidine derivatives, xymedon and compounds 29D and 34D, was studied in rats with experimental dosed contusion spinal cord injury. Xymedon promoted recovery of motor function after injury. Compounds 29D and 34D more effectively restored the parameters of open-field and Rotarod tests in comparison with xymedon. Compound 29D more effectively than xymedon maintained the number of Olig2+ oligodendrocytes in the corticospinal tract and NG2 cells in all investigated areas of the white matter. In the group treated with compound 34D, the differences in the number of NG2+ cells were revealed only in the anterior funiculi, where the number of these glial cells was 2-fold higher than in the xymedon-treated group. Obtained results suggest that the studied xymedon analogs, compounds 29D and 34D, can exert their therapeutic action through different molecular and cellular pathways.
