The invention discloses an application of
sunitinib in preparation of a
medicine for treating secondary injury caused by intracranial hemorrhage. It is found for the first time that
sunitinib can act on a CSF-1R / PI3K / Akt axis,
pathological activation and pro-
inflammatory response of microglial cells are effectively inhibited, the normal phagocytic function and
lipid metabolism balance of the microglial cells are remarkably recovered,
myelin sheath damage around
hematoma is effectively relieved, and the
neurological function score, the movement coordination ability and the exploration behavior of ICH mice are remarkably improved; the progress of secondary injury caused by intracranial hemorrhage is hindered from multiple dimensions, the
curative effect is superior to that of a
positive control drug pecetinib (PLX3397), and a brand new molecular target and an interference strategy are provided for comprehensive treatment of ICH.
