Results of multicenter study of efficacy and safety of divaza in the treatment of the asthenic and mild to moderate cognitive disorders in elderly and senile subjects


Abstract
Objective. To study the efficacy and safety of divasa in elderly and senile subjects with asthenic and mild to moderate cognitive disorders. Material and methods. The study included 126 patients with clinically significant asthenia and mild to moderate cognitive disorders. Asthenia was assessed with MFI-20, cognitive disorders with MMSE, clock drawing test and verbal association test. All patients were treated with divasa in dose 2 tablets 3 times a day.
Results and conclusion. The efficacy and safety of divasa in asthenic and mild to moderate cognitive disorders in elderly and senile subjects were shown. There is a need for a multicenter placebo-controlled trial on the efficacy of divasa to treat cognitive and asthenic disorders in elderly patients.

Preclinical toxicological study of release-active preparations for prediction of their pharmacological activity and side effects

Abstract
We studied chronic toxicity of a few release-active preparations: Dietressa (release-active preparation of affinity-purified antibodies to type 1 cannabinoid receptor), Divasa (releaseactive preparation containing a combination of affinity-purified antibodies to brain-specific S-100 protein and endothelial NO-synthase), Cardostin (release-active preparation containing a combination of affinity-purified antibodies to C-terminal fragment of angiotensin II type 1 receptor and endothelial NO-synthase), and Bation (release-active preparation containing a combination of affinity-purified antibodies to IFN-γ and CD4). We evaluated not only side and toxic effects, but also the relationships between these effects and pharmacological activities of the preparations. The data of preclinical toxicological studies of the release-active preparations can be used for prediction of their pharmacological activity.

Perspectives of the novel drug divaza in the treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia

Abstract
The present paper reviews preclinical research of divaza, the combination of release-active antibodies to brain-specific 5100 protein and release-active antibodies to endothelial NO-synthase. Preclinical studies have revealed that the specific pharmacological activity of the compounds is retained in the combination, and the components mutually potentiate each other's effects. The previous research have demonstrated high efficacy of divaza in the experimental models of cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. Divaza also displays the antihypoxant and antioxidant activity in the animal models of hypoxia by reducing the pathological changes of brain tissue. Significant reduction of the lipid peroxidation process in the affected brain regions can be one of the mechanisms of this effect. In standard experimental models of anxiety and depression, divaza positively influences the psycho-emotional state of animals.
