Embodiment

[0051] The neuroprotective efficacy of amphetamines after transient ischemic injury has not been previously investigated. In this study, methamphetamine (MA) was evaluated using in vitro and in vivo models of transient cerebral ischemia. For the in vitro model, rat hippocampal slice cultures were challenged under hypoxia and glucose deficiency. In a second series of experiments, the in vivo neuroprotective efficacy of MA was investigated using a combination of a 5-minute 2-VO occlusion gerbil model and behavioral testing. During this study it was surprisingly found and demonstrated that administration of MA within 16 hours after transient cerebral ischemia is indeed neuroprotective, reducing neuronal cell damage, including death.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of reducing the occurrence of neuronal cell damage, including death, caused by transient cerebral hypoxia and / or ischemia. The method comprises the steps of: diagnosing a subject having a transient cerebral hypoxic and / or ischemic condition; and within 16 hours after onset of the condition, administering to the subject a neuroprotective amount of a pharmaceutical agent. The pharmaceutical agent is preferably selected from the group consisting of: a central nervous system stimulant (CNSS), monoamine neurotransmitter, monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), or a combination thereof. Preferred agents include amphetamines, methamphetamine, methylphenidate, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or a combination thereof.

Description

[0001] Information about the application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application 60 / 839,974, filed August 23, 2006, the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a method for alleviating neuron cell damage including cell death caused by transient cerebral hypoxia and / or ischemia. The method comprises the steps of: diagnosing a patient with a transient cerebral hypoxic and / or ischemic condition; and administering to the patient a neuroprotective amount of the agent within 16 hours of onset of the condition. The agent is preferably selected from: central nervous system stimulants (CNSS), monoamine neurotransmitters, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or combinations thereof. Preferred agents include amphetamine, methamphetamine (MA), methylphenidate, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or combinations thereof. Ba...
