Succinate is an endogenous substrate of the human organism that participates in various redox processes, reactions of the Krebs cycle, and the mitochondrial oxidation chain. This universal intracellular metabolite plays an important role in the regulation of physiological, metabolic, and energy-producing processes. The article discusses the issues of neuroplasticity, the importance of correction of energy deficiency, oxidative stress and other pathophysiological processes, and maintenance of adequate functional activity of neuronal structures after cerebral circulation disorders. The problems of neuroprotective therapy in ischemic stroke, which is pathogenetically justified in all stages of restorative treatment after cerebrovascular accident, are considered. Cytoflavin is one of the most studied original cytoprotectors, which demonstrated safety, efficacy, and good tolerability. Results of numerous clinical trials revealed significant positive clinical and morphological dynamics of cytoflavin administration in patients after ischemic stroke.

The purpose of the study - to determine the feasibility of using the succinate-based antioxidant for the in vitro reduction of excessive methemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin in blood. Materials and Methods. Blood sampling was performed in five healthy donors in microvettes containing EDTA during prophylactic examinations. NaNO2 solution was added to blood samples in vitro in order to yield methemoglobin (MetHb). The complex drug containing the following active ingredients: succinic acid, inosine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, was used as an antioxidant. The absorption spectrum of red cell suspensions with different drug content Dl(λl) exper was measured with 1 nm increments. The non-linear regression method was used to calculate concentrations of hemoglobin derivatives in suspensions. Results. In our experiments, when methemoglobin reacted with drug the optical density of peaks typical for oxyhemoglobin increased and the spectral peak of methemoglobin decreased. The greater the concentration of drug, the more was the incubation time, the more efficient was the process of reduction of MetHb to HbO2. Conclusion. We proved experimentally that while the baseline concentration of MetHb was an average of 91-93%, addition of drug decreased its concentration to 25-7%. Without drug, due to autoreduction, the concentration of MetHb decreases only to 84%. The revealed effect provide a potential for practical applications in critical illness, during the storage of donor blood, in blood transfusions, and under the action of physico-chemical factors on blood.
