COMPOUND FOR USE IN THE INCREASING OF MENTAL CAPABILITY

摘要

The invention relates to a compound, to the stereoisomers, enantiomers or diastereomers thereof, to the physiologically acceptable salts thereof and to mixtures of said compound for use in the increasing of mental capability. The invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition. The increasing of mental capability is tested in learning experiments with Drosophila melanogaster larvae or older animals, which are raised with standard feed mash or with different concentrations of FSE-20 in the feed mash. In the learning experiment, the animals are each subjected to one of two inverse training regimens and then subjected to a test. In the training, a first scent (white square) was presented with the feed reward (fructose) (white circle with longitudinal stripes) to the first group, while a second scent (black square) was presented alone (white circle without the longitudinal stripes) to the first group. The second group was trained inversely. In the test of the learning experiment, it was subsequently examined whether the larvae of both groups prefer the first scent or the second scent in a selection situation, and thus their learning and memory capability (performance index) was determined.
