Nitric Oxide Donors as Neuroprotective Agents after an Ischemic Stroke-Related Inflammatory Reaction
Cerebral ischemia initiates a cascade of detrimental events including glutamate-associated excitotoxicity, intracellular calcium accumulation, formation of Reactive oxygen species (ROS), membrane lipid degradation, and DNA damage, which lead to the disruption of cellular homeostasis and structural damage of ischemic brain tissue. Cerebral ischemia also triggers acute inflammation, which exacerb...
متن کاملNitric oxide-related brain damage in acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The neurotoxic and neuroprotective role of nitric oxide (NO) in experimental cerebral ischemia has generated considerable debate. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between NO metabolite (NO-m) concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and clinical and neuroimaging parameters of brain injury in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We studied...
متن کاملNitric oxide donors and cardiovascular agents modulating the bioactivity of nitric oxide: an overview.
Nitric oxide (NO) mediates multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes in the cardiovascular system. Pharmacological compounds that release NO have been useful tools for evaluating the pivotal role of NO in cardiovascular physiology and therapeutics. These agents constitute two broad classes of compounds, those that release NO or one of its redox congeners spontaneously and those th...
متن کاملNeuroprotective agents in ischemic stroke: past failures and future opportunities
Tissue plasminogen activator is the only US FDA-approved therapy for acute ischemic stroke treatment. There is a need for other therapies such as neuroprotective agents that can be used in acute ischemic stroke patients. Many neuroprotective agents have been shown to be promising after testing in animal models of acute stroke, but when tested in patients, efficacy signals are not consistent or ...
متن کاملNitric oxide donors and the skin: useful therapeutic agents?
Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in several processes in the skin, including wound healing, pigmentation and regulation of apoptosis. Pharmacological intervention with NO donors appears to be a promising treatment for conditions such as diabetic ulceration. In this issue of Clinical Science, Khan et al. describe the synthesis of a number of NO donors, based on nitrosylated thiosugars, structural c...
