In this study, we evaluated hypidone hydrochloride (YL-0919), a self-developed antidepressant with selective sigma-1 receptor agonist properties, and its associated mechanisms and targets in traumatic brain injury. Behavioral experiments to assess functional deficits were followed by assessment of neuronal damage through histological analyses and examination of blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema. Next, we investigated the antioxidative effects of YL-0919 by assessing the levels of traditional markers of oxidative stress in vivo in mice and in vitro in HT22 cells. Finally, the targeted action of YL-0919 was verified by employing a sigma-1 receptor antagonist (BD-1047). Our findings demonstrated that YL-0919 markedly improved deficits in motor function and spatial cognition on day 3 post traumatic brain injury, while also decreasing neuronal mortality and reversing blood-brain barrier disruption and brain edema. Furthermore, YL-0919 effectively combated oxidative stress both in vivo and in vitro. The protective effects of YL-0919 were partially inhibited by BD-1047. These results indicated that YL-0919 relieved impairments in motor and spatial cognition by restraining oxidative stress, a neuroprotective effect that was partially reversed by the sigma-1 receptor antagonist BD-1047. YL-0919 may have potential as a new treatment for traumatic brain injury.
