Possible mechanisms of action forantihypoxants πQ1968
In experiments on rats (in the tests of open field and elevated plus maze) and mice (test of hexenal-induced sleep) was showed that a new derivative of ascorbic acid πQ-1968 100 mg/kg had psychosedative action. In acute hypoxia the compound reduced the emotional anxiety of animals, stimulated the orienting-investigative activity, showed the stress-protective effect. Therefore, these effects of the compound on the functional state of the CNS in normoxia and hypoxia had a definite meaning in its antihypoxic effect.
