Neuroprotective effects of mebudipine and dibudipine on cerebral oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion injury.
In the present study, we investigated the effects of mebudipine and dibudipine, two new Ca(2+) channel blockers, on primary murine cortical neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. The experiments were performed on cells after 11-16 days of culture. To initiate oxygen-glucose deprivation /reperfusion, the culture medium was replaced by glucose-free medium, and the cells were transferred to a humidified incubation chamber in a mixture of 95% N(2) and 5% CO(2) at 37 degrees C for 30 min. The cultures were pretreated with mebudipine and dibudipine 3 h prior to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion, in order to explore their effects on neurons under oxygen-glucose deprivation conditions. Cell viability and nitric oxide (NO) production were assessed by MTT assay and the modified Griess method, respectively. Exposure of murine cortical neuronal cells to 30 min oxygen-glucose deprivation significantly decreased cell viability and increased NO production. Pretreatment of the cultures with mebudipine and dibudipine significantly increased cell viability and decreased NO generation in a dose-dependent manner. However, the drugs had no protective effect in cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation for 60 min. Pretreatment of cultures with MK-801 (10 microM), a non-competitive NMDA antagonist, decreased neuronal death after 30-min oxygen-glucose deprivation, while application of NBQX (30 microM), a selective AMPA-kainate receptor antagonist, partially attenuated the cell injury. oxygen-glucose deprivation -induced cytotoxicity and NO production were also inhibited by N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor and MK-801. We conclude that mebudipine and dibudipine could protect cortical neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation /reperfusion-induced cell injury in a dose-dependent manner, and that this could be mediated partially by decreased NO production.

AMPA glutamate receptor antagonism reduces neurologic injury after hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Pharmacologic inhibition of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor can reduce the neurologic injury associated with hypothermic circulatory arrest; however, other receptor subtypes, such as the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoazole-4-propionic acid/kainate or AMPA/kainate subtype, may predominate in the adult brain. In this experiment, a selective AMPA antagonist, NBQX, was used in a canine survival model of hypothermic circulatory arrest. Twelve male dogs (20 to 25 kg) were placed on closed-chest cardiopulmonary bypass, subjected to 2 hours of hypothermic circulatory arrest at 18 degrees C, and rewarmed on cardiopulmonary bypass. All were mechanically ventilated and monitored for 20 hours before extubation and survived for 3 days. Six dogs received NBQX beginning 2 hours after arrest (3 mg/kg for 3 hours then 1.5 mg/kg for 2 hours). Control dogs received vehicle only. Neurologic recovery was assessed every 12 hours using a species-specific behavior scale that yielded a neurodeficit score ranging from 0 (normal) to 500 (brain dead). After sacrifice at 72 hours, brains were examined by receptor autoradiography and histologically for patterns of selective neuronal necrosis and scored blindly from 0 (normal) to 100 (severe injury). Dogs given NBQX had better neurologic function compared with controls (neurodeficit score, 58.6 +/- 15 versus 204 +/- 30; p < 0.004) and had less neuronal injury (18.2 +/- 3 versus 52.5 +/- 6; p < 0.004). Densitometric receptor autoradiography revealed preservation of neuronal NMDA receptor expression only in dogs given NBQX. These results suggest that antagonism of the non-NMDA glutamate receptor AMPA may be neuroprotective in adults after hypothermic circulatory arrest.

BW1003C87 and NBQX but not CGS19755 reduce glutamate release and cerebral ischemic necrosis.
This study examines the relationship between the concentration of extracellular glutamate released during 30 min of forebrain ischemia, and the subsequent development of ischemic neural necrosis, in the presence of three agents which act at distinct sites on the glutamatergic synapse: a presynaptic inhibitor of glutamate release (5-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)-2,4-diamino-pyramidine ethane sulphonate (BW1003C87)); a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist (cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidine carboxylic acid (CGS19755)); and a competitive AMPA receptor antagonist (2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(F)quinoxaline (NBQX)). Pretreatment with either BW1003C87 or NBQX markedly attenuated the peak concentration of extracellular glutamate and offered protection from post-ischemic neuronal necrosis in the CA1 hippocampus. In contrast, pretreatment with CGS19755 had no effect on extracellular glutamate release and did not protect CA1 hippocampal neurons from ischemic injury.

Systemic excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor and of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor relieve mechanical hypersensitivity after transient spinal cord ischemia in
We have previously reported that transient spinal cord ischemia induced a behavioral hypersensitivity (allodynia) to innocuous cutaneous mechanical stimulation in rats. The spinal ischemia-induced allodynia was not relieved by morphine, but it was relieved by the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-B receptor agonist baclofen, indicating that the allodynia may be related to dysfunction of the spinal GABA-ergic inhibitory system. In the present study we report that systemic application of 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(f)quinoxaline (NBQX), an antagonist of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor for excitatory amino acids, dose-dependently relieved allodynia after spinal cord ischemia. The analgesic effect of NBQX at a low dose (7.5 mg/kg) was not accompanied by motor deficits or sedation. On the other hand, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801) only partially alleviated allodynia, even at doses that produced severe motor deficits. It is suggested that the abnormal, possibly painful, sensations elicited by innocuous mechanical stimulation observed after spinal cord ischemia may be mediated by excitatory amino acids, acting mainly on the AMPA receptor. Antagonists of excitatory amino acid receptors, especially at the AMPA site, may be effective in treating pain conditions where input from low threshold afferents triggers painful sensations.
