Purpose of the study. To assess the cerebroprotective activity of metformin, gosogliptin, citicoline and an agonist
GPR119 (compound ZB-16) in a focal cerebral ischemia (GM) model reproduced in animals with 4-week streptozotocin-
nicotinamide-induced diabetes mellitus (DM). Material and methods. The study was carried out on 73 male rats.
Hypoglycemic drugs and compound ZB-16 were administered from the first day of diabetes development, citicoline - after
modeling GM ischemia. Cerebroprotective effect was assessed using the Garcia, Combs and D'Alecy scales, rotarod and open
field tests, as well as by the volume of infarction and the severity of edema of the GM.results
and conclusion. The introduction of metformin with pronounced hypoglycemic activity did not provide significant
cerebroprotective effect in the subsequent modeling of GM ischemia. The introduction of agents affecting the incretin system
(gosogliptin and especially the ZB-16 compound), in addition to the hypoglycemic effect, contributed to a significant decrease in the
volume of infarction, HM edema and the severity of neuropsychiatric deficiency in surviving animals. At the same time, the
introduction of citicoline without correct hypoglycemic therapy slightly reduced the severity of the course of GM ischemia.

Hypoglycemic agents of some groups: sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
receptor agonists reduce the risk and / or severity of cardiovascular diseases. Studies of such properties are currently focused on
metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Agonists of GPR119 receptor, increasing the secretion of GLP-1 and insulin,
are also actively studied as hypoglycemic drugs with endothelial and cerebroprotective potential.Objective... To evaluate the
cerebroprotective activity of metformin, gosogliptin, citicoline and an agonist of GPR119 (ZB-16) in middle cerebral artery occlusion
(MCAO) in animals with 4-week streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetes.Material and methods... A study included 73 male rats.
Hypoglycemic agents and ZB-16 were administered on the first day of diabetes and citicoline was administered after MCAO.
Cerebroprotective effect was evaluated using Garcia, Combs and D'Alecy score test, "Rotarod" and "open field" test, as well as the
infarct volume and severity of brain edema measurement.Results and conclusion... Preventive administration of metformin resulted
in the pronounced hypoglycemic activity without a significant cerebroprotective effect in subsequent brain ischemia modeling.
Administration of substances with incretin activity (gosogliptin and, in particular, ZB-16) in addition to the hypoglycemic action
promoted a significant reduction of infarct volume, brain edema and severity of neurologic deficit of the surviving animals. At the
same time, the introduction of citicoline without proper glycemic control didn't reduce the brain ischemia severity.
Against the background of diabetes mellitus (DM), a significant increase and severity of the course of
vascular complications increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including disorders of
cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, in the study of pharmacology (NMC) [1].
