Amelioration of Inflammation and Cytotoxicity by Dipyridamole in Brain Endothelial Cells

摘要

BackgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that beyond its antiplatelet properties, dipyridamole may have pleiotropic effects on other cells within the neurovascular elements of the brain. In this experimental cellular study, we asked whether dipyridamole can ameliorate brain endothelial injury after exposure to inflammatory and metabolic insults.
