Abstract

Effects of bifemelane hydrochloride (MCI-2016) on acetylcholine (ACh) and norepinephrine (NE) release from cortical slices of bilaterally carotid-artery-ligated Mongolian gerbils were examined. ACh and NE release from cortical slices of Mongolian gerbils were increased 1 hr after the ligation of bilateral carotid arteries. Pretreatment of MCI-2016 (25 mg/kg, i.p.) attenuated the increase in the release of both neurotransmitters. These effects may participate in the protective effect of MCI-2016 on cerebral ischemia in Mongolian gerbils.
