Use of xenon to treat neurointoxications, inhalable preparation and method for producing an inhalable preparation

摘要

"USE OF XENENIUM TO TREAT NEUROINTOXICATIONS, INHALABLE PREPARATION AND METHOD TO PRODUCE INHALABLE PREPARATION". The present invention relates to the use of xenon or gas mixtures of xenon to treat neurointoxications. In particular, the present invention is directed to such a use of xenon in which neurointoxication is caused by an excess of neurotransmitters. Xenon can reduce the release of neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine, which are caused by, e.g., hypoxic conditions such as stroke or craniocerebral trauma; the preparation containing xenon can also be used as a therapeutic agent in the case of depression, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease, where the balance of neurotransmitters is also disturbed. Inhalation application is simple and the harmlessness of xenon has already been proven by its use as an anesthetic agent.
