Abstract
Brain function and neuroprotective activity of cyclopentyladenosine in rats with focal cerebral ischemia were evaluated by recording the steady-state potential. Cerebral ischemia was modeled by intravasal occlusion of the left internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries and bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries. Recording of the steady-state brain potential during experimental ischemia allowed identifying the development of ischemic depolarization by a negative potential shift. Changes in the steady-state potential after cyclopentyladenosine administration reflected delayed development of ischemic depolarization in the nervous tissue. Cyclopentyladenosine holds much promise for the protection of nerve cells from ischemic injury.
