FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a therapeutic and diagnostic agent used in treatment or diagnostics of a cerebral disease caused by a mitochondrial dysfunction, or in a method for prevention within a surgical intervention and an intravascular surgery, and also to a diagnostic technique for cerebral diseases. The therapeutic agent contains an iron compound and -aminolevulinic acid or its salt by formula R2R1NCH2COCH2CH2COR3 (1) where each R1 and R2 independently represents hydrogen atom, and R3 represents a hydroxyl group or C1-24 alkoxy group. The diagnostic agent contains 8-aminolevulinic acid or its salt by formula specified above. The diagnostic technique for the cerebral disease caused by mitochondrial dysfunction, involves a stage of introduction of the specified diagnostic agent followed by a stage of exposure of a diagnosed brain region to light, capable to excite protoporphyrin IX, accompanied by emission of red light, and a stage of diagnostics of the involved brain by the detected emission of red light. ^ EFFECT: higher diagnostic efficiency. ^ 7 cl, 4 dwg, 2 ex |
