Study of the N1-(2,3,4-Trimethoxybenzyl)-N2-{2-[(2,3,4-Trimethoxybenzyl)Amine]Ethyl}-1,2-Ethandiamine Compound Effect on the Physical Performance of Animals.

ABSTRACT

We studied the effect of N1-(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzyl)-N2-{2-[(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzyl)amino]ethyl}-1,2-ethanediamine (compound ALM-802) on the physical performance of mice after acute fatigue. The animals' performance was assessed on a treadmill. The criterion for assessing exercise tolerance was the length of the distance passed when running on a treadmill until complete fatigue. To assess the actoprotective activity of compound ALM-802, we used a method of stepwise increase in load with an initial running speed of 42 cm/sec and its subsequent increase by 5 cm/sec every 5 min. The maximum speed of movement of the treadmill belt is 77 cm/sec. Animals that received compound ALM-802 (2 mg/kg intraperitoneally), 1 day after acute fatigue, ran a distance to complete fatigue that exceeded that of control mice by 68% (387.9±60.5 and 230.6±29.6 m, respectively, p=0.023). The reference drug trimetazidine (30 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) did not have a significant effect on the distance traveled. Compound ALM-802 helps restore physical performance, i.e. exhibits significant actoprotective activity.
