Naturally occurring or synthetic substances that inhibit or retard oxidation reactions. They counteract the damaging effects of oxidation in animal tissues.
Drugs intended to prevent damage to the brain or spinal cord from ischemia, stroke, convulsions, or trauma. Some must be administered before the event, but others may be effective for some time after. They act by a variety of mechanisms, but often directly or indirectly minimize the damage produced by endogenous excitatory amino acids.
DescriptionTirilazad mesylate, a novel 21 -aminosteroid derivative, has been marketed in Austria for the intravenous treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in male patients. Studies have indicated involvement of lipid peroxidation and/or lipid hydrolysis in the genesis of SAH-initiated microvascular damage and prolonged vasospasm of the large cerebral vessels. Tirilazad mesylate is a highly lipophilic compound that localizes to the cell membrane. It is a potent inhibitor of lipid peroxidation induced by oxygen free radicals, purely through a mechanism similar to vitamin E by scavenging lipid peroxyl radicals, and is a stabilizer of biological membranes. Tirilazad mesylate has been demonstrated to have a positive effect in reducing symptomatic vasospasm, cerebral infarction, and neurological dysfunction. Clinically, it is reportedly effective in reducing mortality in male SAH patients relative to the control group. The title compound is also reportedly in clinical trials for ischemic stroke, spinal cord injury, and for non-systemic ocular applications. Little or no behavioral and physiological side effects have been reported.
