Protective effect of phenyl-t-butylnitrone in rats with focal cerebral ischemia.

摘要

Phenyl-t-butylnitrone produces a potent neuroprotective effect in rats with focal cerebral ischemia modeled by distal occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. The infarction area markedly decreased after treatment with phenyl-t-butylnitrone. The content of phenyl-t-butylnitrone in the brain, liver, and kidneys was measured by the method of electron paramagnetic resonance.
