Stroke: S-roscovitine--a potential neuroprotectant for stroke.

摘要

A drug that targets cell cycle proteins could protect the brain from injury after stroke, according to new research conducted in France by Serge Timsit and colleagues. The team showed that the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor S-roscovitine could cross the blood-brain barrier and provide neuroprotection to the brain when delivered systemically in animal models of stroke.
