    Cerebral circulation disorders (CCD) are one of the most common causes of mortality and disability in the population. Improving the microcirculation of brain tissue is one of the main directions in the treatment and prevention of CCD.Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a new derivative of hydroxybenzoic (salicylic) acid on neurological deficit, hemostasis and functional state of arterial pial vessels in the study of prostacyclin-synthetic activity and evaluation of NOmediated endothelial dysfunction in rats under experimental CCD conditions. Material and methods. The experiment was carried out on 50 Wistar rats, which were simulated for CCD by occlusion of common carotid arteries. Within 7 days after the operation, the animals received treatment according to the group: saline, C-60 (N-(3-hydroxybenzoyl)taurine dipotassium salt) and acetylsalicylic acid. After treatment, the activity of the prostacyclin-synthetic system was assessed by the reaction of pial vessels to indomethacin, endothelial dysfunction was estimated by tests with acetylcholine and L-NAME. The parameters of plasma and platelet hemostasis were also studied, and behavioral tests (open field, adhesion test, rotarod, Morris water maze, passive avoidance task) were used to assess neurological deficits in animals. Results. When studying the level of neurological deficit in animals with brain ischemia after a course of administration of the test compound, it was noted that in the treated groups, compared with the control group, there was a significant increase in motor and exploratory activity, improvement in sensory-motor function and coordination of movements (p < 0.05). Also, in the group treated with the salicylic acid derivative, normalization of the parameters of platelet and plasma hemostasis, improvement of the functional state of the vascular endothelium was observed. According to the results of assessing the prostacyclin-synthesizing activity of the endothelium of the cerebral vessels, it follows that the test compound inhibits cyclooxygenase at a level comparable with effect of acetylsalicylic acid. Conclusions. A new derivative of salicylic acid, the dipotassium salt of N-(3-hydroxybenzoyl)taurine, reduces the severity of neurological deficit, improves hemostasis parameters and the functional state of cerebral vessels in rats with brain ischemia in the experiment
