Ameliorative effect of ozagrel, a thromboxane A2 synthase inhibitor, in hyperhomocysteinemia-induced experimental vascular cognitive impairment and dementia
© 2020 Société Française de Pharmacologie et de Thérapeutique..
The present study investigates the effect of ozagrel, a selective thromboxane A2 (TXA2) inhibitor, in rat model of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-induced vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Wistar rats were administered L-methionine (1.7 g/kg/day; p.o. × 8 weeks) to induce VCID. Morris water maze (MWM) test was employed to assess learning and memory. Endothelial dysfunction was assessed in the isolated aorta by observing endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation and levels of serum nitrite. Various biochemical and histopathological estimations were also performed. L-methionine produced significant impairment in endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and decreases serum nitrite levels indicating endothelial dysfunction. Further, these animals performed poorly on MWM, depicting impairment of learning and memory. Further, a significant rise in brain oxidative stress level (indicated by increase in brain thiobarbituric acid-reactive species and decrease in reduced glutathione levels), brain acetylcholinesterase activity, brain myeloperoxidase activity, brain TNF-α and IL-6 levels, and brain leukocyte (neutrophil) infiltration was also observed. Treatment of ozagrel (10 and 20 mg/kg, p. o.)/donepezil (0.5 mg/kg, i.p., serving as standard) ameliorated L-methionine-induced endothelial dysfunction, memory deficits, and biochemical and histopathological changes. It may be concluded that ozagrel markedly improved endothelial dysfunction, learning and memory, and biochemical and histopathological alteration associated with L-methionine-induced VCID and that TXA2 can be considered as an important therapeutic target for the management of VCID.
