The invention relates to medicine, in particular to mono- and divalent salts of N-(5-hydroxynicotinoil)-L-glutaminic acid exhibiting psychotropic antidepressant, anxiolytic, heroprotective, neuroprotective, antihypoxia cerebroprotective and nootropic action. The novel compounds differ from the known preparations, including the closest prior art in the form of a N-(5-hydroxynicotinoil)-L-glutaminic acid base (nooglucotyl), in that they produce psychotropic effects, namely antidepressant, anxiolytic, neuroprotective and heroprotective actions, in such a way that lesion focuses caused by apoplectic attacks are reduced and age-specific neurological deficiencies and intellectual and physical work capacities are improved.
