Abstract: The penetration of the free radical trapping neuroprotectant NXY-059 into the brain has been examined in rats subjected to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). NXY-059 (125 mg/kg bolus followed by 125 mg/kg/h) was infused for 4 h 45 min starting 15 min after right pMCAO or sham operation. At 5 h, there was a similar plasma total NXY-059 concentration (μmol/L) in both groups [sham: 623 ± 44 (6); pMCAO: 605 ± 43 (5)] and a similar drug concentration (nmol/g) in the right cortex [sham: 6.92 ± 1.05 (6); pMCAO: 6.14 ± 2.18 (6)]. A subsequent experiment in normal rats, infusing NXY-059 at both a similar and higher concentration (252 mg/kg bolus and 252 mg/kg/h), demonstrated that the concentration of NXY-059 in cortex increased linearly with respect to the plasma concentration. These data demonstrate that NXY-059 does penetrate brain tissue in control animals and ischemic tissue of animals subjected to pMCAO. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
