AIM: To study a neuroprotective effect of mexidol on the cell model of glutamate stress. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cytological studies of an effect of glutamate stress on cerebellar granule cells were carried out. RESULTS: Mexidol increased neuronal survival after the addition of glutamate by 8-10% (p<0.05). The effect of mexidol was more pronounced at the stage of neuron culture growth (5 days), cell survivability increased on average by 20%. CONCLUSION: The results of the study confirmed the neuroprotective effect of mexidol in the neuronal culture in glutamate toxicity model.
