Biological activities

Edaravone is a potent scavenger of hydroxyl radicals. Edaravone is a neuroprotective agent for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. [1] In vitro, edaravone protects the vascular endothelial cells and neurons against oxidative stresses. Edaravone also attenuates cerebral edema due to ischemia in a dose-dependent manner. Edaravone salvages the boundary zone of infarct by scavenging reactive oxygen species especially in the neurons during permanent focal cerebral ischemia. [2] Edaravone preserves myocardial ATP levels and prevents cytochrome c release. Moreover, edaravone inhibits the caspase cascade activation responsible for pathological apoptosis. Edaravone also inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition pore and upregulates Bcl-2 expression. [3] In vivo, edaravone significantly reduces the infarct volume and improves the neurological deficit scores at 24 hours after reperfusion. [1]

Protocols

Edaravone (30 mg) is dissolved in 0.5 mL of 1 N NaOH and 8 mL of distilled water, and fits to pH 7 by addition of 1 N HCl. [2]
