Abstract
It is important to understand the features of the interaction of drug components with body receptors and obtain data on its distribution in various administration routes in recommended doses in order for its usage in clinical practice to be safe and effective. PURPOSE To investigate in vitro the interactions of a drug consisting of water-soluble polypeptide fractions produced on animal retina with a wide range of receptor targets, and to assess its biodistribution in the organs of laboratory animals. MATERIAL AND METHODS The biodistribution of the radioactively marked drug in different organs and tissues of laboratory mice in various routes of administration was studied at the National Research Centre «Kurchatov Institute». Evaluation of the ligand-receptor interaction of the drug was carried out in the laboratory at Eurofins Pharma Discovery Services by the method of competitive radioligand binding. RESULTS A significant effect of the interaction of the polypeptide drug was revealed with different subtypes of glutamate receptors: AMPA, NMDA, and mGluR1. As a result of an in vivo test, we have obtained biodistribution data of the drug for intravenous, intramuscular and parabulbar administration, and the dynamics of drug accumulation in the tissues of the brain and eyes. CONCLUSION According to the study results, the peptide drug binds to receptors associated with the loss of retinal ganglion cells. Interaction with these receptors potentially provides the test subject with neuroprotective effect. The content dynamics of the studied drug in the blood of animals depends on the route of administration and the amount of drug administered. At the time point of 0.5 hours for intravenous and intramuscular administration in the dose of 1.7 mg/kg, the studied drug has sufficiently high bioavailability in the tissues of the brain and eye. The data suggest that the main route of excretion of the studied drug is through kidneys.

Abstract
Despite prophylaxis and attempts to select a therapy, the frequency of preeclampsia does not decrease and it still takes the leading position in the structure of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. In this review, we present a new theory of the etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia that is based on the interaction of Na/K-ATPase and its endogenous ligands including marinobufagenin. The signaling pathway of marinobufagenin involves an inhibition of transcriptional factor Fli1, a negative regulator of collagen synthesis, followed by the deposition of collagen in the vascular tissues and altered vascular functions. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo neutralization of marinobufagenin is associated with the restoration of Fli1. The inverse relationship between marinobufagenin and Fli1 opens new possibilities in the treatment of cancer; as Fli1 is a proto-oncogene, a hypothesis on the suppression of Fli1 by cardiotonic steroids as a potential anti-tumor therapeutic strategy is discussed as well. We propose a novel therapy of preeclampsia that is based on immunoneutralization of the marinobufagenin by monoclonal antibodies, which is capable of impairing marinobufagenin-Na/K-ATPase interactions.

Abstract
The genotoxic and antigenotoxic potential of BP-C2, a novel lignin-derived polyphenolic composition with ammonium molybdate, was investigated as a radioprotector/radiomitigator for civil applications and as a medical countermeasure for radiation emergencies. Using the alkaline comet assay and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS, 40 mg/kg) as the DNA-damaging agent, these effects of BP-C2 on liver, bone marrow cells and blood leukocytes in rats were studied. The DNA damage was estimated by the DNA content in the comet tail (TDNA, %) 1, 6 and 18 h post exposure to MMS. BP-C2 at doses of 20, 200 and 2000 mg/kg did not exert genotoxic activity in the tested tissues in rats. BP-C2 administered at doses of 20, 100 and 200 mg/kg 1 h before MMS significantly (p < 0.01) mitigated MMS-induced DNA damage, showing a strong genoprotective effect in the liver. In blood leukocytes and bone marrow samples of animals treated with BP-C2, the TDNA % was slightly higher than in the negative control (vehicle) but significantly lower than in the positive control (MMS). Thus, BP-C2 exerted a genoprotective effect against MMS-induced DNA damage to a greater extent towards liver cells, requiring further evaluation of this substance as a genoprotective agent.

Abstract
To develop the approaches for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome (MS), a pathological state widespread in modern population, that involves a complex of metabolic and functional disorders, appropriate animal models of MS are required. One of these models is induced by the consumption of combined high-carbohydrate and high-fat (HC/HF) diet consisting of excess amount of easily digestible carbohydrates and saturated fats. At the same time, the character, temporal dynamics and severity of metabolic abnormalities in MS induced by HC/HF diet are still poorly understood. The aim of work was the characterization of metabolic changes in Wistar rats with MS induced by 10- and 15-week HC/HF diet that includes the consumption of 30% sucrose solution (instead of drinking water) and food rich in saturated fats. Rats that received HC/HF diet for 15 weeks had a number of features characteristic of MS, such as increased body weight and content of abdominal fat, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinaemia, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, as well as the markers of impaired function of the cardiovascular system (hyperhomocysteinemia, the reduced level of vasodilator nitric oxide, the increased concentration of vasoconstrictor endothelin 1). In rats, which were on the diet for 10 weeks, the metabolic abnormalities were less pronounced, indicating an insufficiency of 10-week duration of HC/HF diet for MS induction. Thus, the model of MS induced by 15-week HC/HF diet has the characteristic features that allow for extrapolation of the obtained data to similar pathologic changes in human, and can be used to study the etiology and pathogenesis of MS and the search of effective ways of MS prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The influence of angioprotector and endothelium-protector drugs pentoxifylline and unifuzol as components of supportive therapy on the efficacy of combined cytostatic treatment has been experimentally studied. It is established that pentoxifylline and unifuzol do not affect the antitumor and antimetastatic activity of doxorubicin and cyclophosphan with respect to Pliss lymphosarcoma and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma, and in some cases even potentiate the effect of cytostatic therapy.

Abstract
Presented herein is a review of scientific publications dedicated to studying the pharmacodynamics of L-arginine and possibilities of its clinical application. Interest to L-arginine is associated, first of all, with its role as a precursor in endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), playing an important role in regulation of the functional state of the vascular wall. According to numerous studies, oral and parenteral administration of L-arginine restores endothelial production of NO in such diseases as atherosclerosis, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obliterating diseases of arteries of lower extremities. The NO-mediated effect of L-arginine manifests itself in increasing the capability of vessels to dilatation, decreasing blood platelet aggregation, and inhibiting proliferation of smooth muscle cells of vessels. The effect is most pronounced in patients presenting with hypercholesterolaemia and initially decreased reactivity of the blood channel. The mostly pronounced NO-mediated effect of L-arginine is observed in parenteral route of its administration. Prolonged administration of L-arginine slows down progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
AIM To explore the endogenous and pharmacological activation of neurotrophic mechanisms in a model of brain ischemic lesion in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was performed on 170 male albino rats (195-205 g). The model of ischemic stroke was accomplished by the electrocoagulation of the proximal segment of the left middle cerebral artery and simultaneous permanent ligation of the left common carotid artery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The evaluation of NSE, NO, VEGF, NGF levels in the brain cytoplasmic lysate and plasma showed the delayed activation of neurotrophic mechanisms in astrocytes accompanied by a decrease in delayed alteration of neurons. The use of cytoflavin in the treatment of stroke was accompanied by the earlier and more intense activation of neurotrophic mechanisms in astrocytes, delayed activation of neurotrophic mechanisms in endothelial cells, which promoted neuroprotection in acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
108 albino male rats were used in two experimental rat models reproducing urolithiasis for the assessment of metabolic drug medicine Remaxol nephroprotective effect upon the development of this disease. "Ethyleneglycol" model consisted of adding 1% ethylene glycol solution in drinking water for 37 days and "fructose-induced" one--of adding 10% fructose solution in drinking water for the same period. Therapy included a 10-day course of daily i.v. injections of Remaxol (14 ml/kg). Both experimental models were successful in producing urolithiasis with considerable disturbances in the structure and functioning of kidneys up to revealing microconcrement formation. The "ethyleneglycol" model proved to cause maximum changes while the "Fructose-induced" model--only moderate ones. Metabolic correction of these changes was successful in nephroprotection effectively normalizing kidney functions and the total protein concentration, eliminating hyperglycemia and reducing creatinine and urea blood plasma concentration in both rat experimental models.

Abstract
Age-dependent angiogenesis intensity changes have been studied in transgenic HER-2/neu (FBV/N) mice characteristic of breast tumors' high incidence with hyperexpression of HER-2/neu. Concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor, insulin-dependent growth factor 1, nitrogen monoxide, tissue plasminogen activator and type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor were assessed by means of immune-enzyme assay. The results testify to angiogenesis processes activation side by side with aging and growth of the tumors. Maximum manifestation of these disturbances (growth factors' blood concentrations increase and endotheliocytes' functional activity inhibition) has been revealed in 6-month-old mice during neoplasma maximum intensive and aggressive growth period.

Abstract
Developed and approved a pathogenic grounded experimental model of brain condition during cardiovascular bypass surgery. Undertaken in Wistar rats research allowed to evaluate in detail effectiveness and safety of protracted cerebroprotective treatment. Advantages of this model are researches in laboratory animals with the aim to research condition of nerve tissue, not intensive procedures and consequently high reproducibility and possibility of complex evaluation of changes at every stage of research. Results of neurons, neuroglia and activation of neurotrophic mechanisms prove that simulation of brain condition during cardiovascular bypass surgery is accompanied with acute and delayed brain injuries. Use of Cytoflavin under pharmalogic cerebroprotection had prolonged multimodal and neuroprotactive effect, leading to improvement of neurotrophic protection from the first days.

Abstract
The functional state of the brain and the potential of pharmacologic cytoprotection after an acute cerebral hypoxia were studied. The experiment involved 186 adult male rats. The rats in experimental groups underwent acute thromboembolism of the right carotid artery. The functional state of the brain and the efficacy and safety of the Cytoflavin complex cytoprotective drug treatment had been analyzed over the 10 days following the thromboembolism. A neurological examination was accomplished daily, the serum levels of NSE, GFAP, S100beta and brain cytolysate levels of NSE were measured on the 1st, 3rd, 10th day. The NSE brain cytolysate level went up on the 1st day and the NSE serum level was up on the 3rd day following the thromboembolism, which may have indicated an acute delayed alteration of neurons and an increase of the blood-brain barrier permeability on the 3rd day after the thromboemboIism. Neuroglial biomarkers went up on the 1st (GFAP), 3rd and 10th (S100beta) day, which indicated an acute delayed alteration and/or activation of glial cells. Therefore, the applied experimental model promotes acute delayed alteration of neurons and neuroglia with a possible activation of the latter. The Cytoflavin proved to have a cytoprotective effect on neurons and to diminish the alteration and/or activation of glial cells over the observed period after the acute thromboembolism of the carotid artery.

Abstract
Cell differentiation affections substantiate the urgency of the problem related to studying mutual impact of primary or
secondary endocrine pathology and hyperproliferative skin diseases. Psoriasis is one of the most demonstrative pathologies
for this study for being a prevalent and genetically predetermined disease with a chronic and relapsing course characterized
by increased proliferation of keratinocytes, abnormal differentiation process of epidermis cells, inflammatory and immune
changes in derma, and dyshormonal disorders are among factors triggering the disease. The study involved 61 male patients.
The study group (n = 43) comprised patients with circumscribed psoriasis vulgaris at the progression stage while the control
group (n = 18) comprised healthy people. Blood concentration of such hormones as prolactin and cortisone was assessed
by the immune-enzyme assay method. An increased cortisone concentration in patients suffering from psoriasis vs. control
group was revealed. Psoriatic patients tend to have an increased prolactin level.
