mexiletine and Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery

mexiletine has been researched along with Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery in 2 studies

Mexiletine: Antiarrhythmic agent pharmacologically similar to LIDOCAINE. It may have some anticonvulsant properties.
mexiletine : An aromatic ether which is 2,6-dimethylphenyl ether of 2-aminopropan-1-ol.

Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery: NECROSIS occurring in the MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY distribution system which brings blood to the entire lateral aspects of each CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE. Clinical signs include impaired cognition; APHASIA; AGRAPHIA; weak and numbness in the face and arms, contralaterally or bilaterally depending on the infarction.

"Left middle cerebral artery occlusion following microcraniectomy and simultaneous bilateral carotid artery occlusion were performed."1.35The preventive effect of mexiletine on cerebral ischemic injury following experimental middle cerebral artery occlusion. ( Akar, A; Altinors, N; Caner, H; Cansever, T; Gulsen, S; Kabatas, S; Ozger, O; Yilmaz, C, 2009)
"Mexiletine treatment, on the other hand, had no significant effect on the down-regulation of either gene."1.32The sodium channel blocker RS100642 reverses down-regulation of the sodium channel alpha-subunit Na(v) 1.1 expression caused by transient ischemic brain injury in rats.
