Abstract
Thrombolytic therapy is the most effective therapeutic strategy for the prevention of brain injury and reduction of mortality in patients with acute cerebral infarction. A combination of established thrombolytic therapy and effective neuronal protection therapy has more beneficial effects for patients with acute cerebral infarction. Edaravone (chemical name: 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one) is a strong, novel scavenger of free radicals. Several lines of evidence have shown that edaravone has preventive effects on brain injury following ischaemia and reperfusion in patients with brain attack. This review focuses on putative mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of edaravone on the atherosclerotic process in patients with stroke and on the possibility of edaravone-induced extension of the therapeutic time window in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
