چکیده

Release of arachidonic acid (AA) is a neurotoxic mechanism of oxidative nature in trauma and ischemia. We studied ebselen effects on AA and 4-hydroxynonenal toxicity in rat cortical neurons in simulated ischemia in vitro by assessing cell viability and glutathione concentration. Ebselen normalized neuronal viability diminished by AA and 4-hydroxynonenal and increased glutathione level in normoxia and ischemia. AA elevated the glutathione level by 52 and 14% and 4-hydroxynonenal by 63 and 39% in normoxia and ischemia, respectively. Ebselen augmented the effect of AA in normoxia and diminished it in ischemia. Effect of 4-hydroxynonenal was similarly modulated by ebselen.

Neuroprotective effect of N-acetylcysteine in neurons exposed to arachidonic acid during simulated ischemia in vitro.

The aim of the study was to assess neuroprotective effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC; 100-200 microM) on cultured cortical neurons exposed to arachidonic acid (AA, 10 microM) during ischemia (oxygen-glucose deprivation). Ischemic conditions decreased neuron viability to 41-47% of normoxic controls; co-exposure with arachidonic acid further attenuated neuron viability to 36.73% after 24 h. Separa...

Effects of N-acetylcysteine and ebselen on arachidonic acid release from astrocytes and neurons cultured in normoxic or simulated ischemic conditions.

Arachidonic acid (AA) is released from cells after nervous tissue injuries.We treated rat cortical neurons and astrocytes cultured under normoxic or simulated ischemic conditions with N-acetylcysteine (100 or 200 microM) or ebselen (10 or 20 microM). N-acetylcysteine decreased AA release in normoxic astrocytes, while ebselen decreased AA release from astrocytes in both conditions. N-acetylcyste...

Ebselen attenuates oxidative stress in ischemic astrocytes depleted of glutathione. Comparison with glutathione precursors.

In this study, we investigated the protective effect of ebselen, a seleno-organic compound with antioxidant activity, towards astrocyte degeneration caused by exposure to simulated in vitro ischemic conditions and simultaneous depletion of glutathione (GSH). Depletion of GSH was induced by 24 h pretreatment with L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO). In this experimental paradigm, we examined th...

The neuroprotective agent ebselen modifies NMDA receptor function via the redox modulatory site.

Ebselen is a seleno-organic compound currently in clinical trials for the treatment of ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Its putative mode of action as a neuroprotectant is via cyclical reduction and oxidation reactions, in a manner akin to glutathione peroxidase. For this reason, we have investigated the effects of ebselen on the redox-sensitive NMDA receptor. We have found that ebs...

Effects of preconditioning with ebselen on glutathione metabolism and stress protein expression.

Selenium induces several proteins, including glutathione and stress proteins. These proteins have been shown to be cardioprotective against oxidative injury. To determine whether ebselen, a seleno-organic compound, can also induce these proteins and exert cardioprotective action, we examined the effects of preconditioning with ebselen on glutathione metabolism and stress protein expression and ...
