This invention provides the use of dicyclohexanone oxaloyl dihydrazone in
stroke medications and a
stroke medication itself. The use includes the application of dicyclohexanone oxaloyl dihydrazone in the preparation of medications for treating
stroke, particularly
ischemic stroke. This invention effectively promotes
myelin regeneration and
neurological function repair in the very early post-stroke period (e.g., within 24 hours) by targeting and regulating the "
ceruloplasmin-iron
metabolism-
myelin regeneration" axis. The specific mechanisms include upregulating
ceruloplasmin expression in the brain, enhancing its ferrooxidase activity, promoting
iron transport and reuse in the brain, thereby promoting the survival, differentiation, and myelination of
oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Animal experiments show that stroke model mice exhibit significant improvement in
neurological function as early as day 1 after administration, with a faster
onset of action than existing technologies. This invention has the advantages of
rapid onset of action, clear target, and comprehensive repair effects, and has promising clinical application prospects.
