nimodipine and Brain Damage, Chronic

nimodipine has been researched along with Brain Damage, Chronic in 23 studies

Nimodipine: A calcium channel blockader with preferential cerebrovascular activity. It has marked cerebrovascular dilating effects and lowers blood pressure.
nimodipine : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, a (2-methoxyethoxy)carbonyl group at position 3, a m-nitrophenyl group at position 4, and an isopropoxycarbonyl group at position 5. An L-type calcium channel blocker, it acts particularly on cerebral circulation, and is used both orally and intravenously for the prevention and treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Brain Damage, Chronic: A condition characterized by long-standing brain dysfunction or damage, usually of three months duration or longer. Potential etiologies include BRAIN INFARCTION; certain NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; ANOXIA, BRAIN; ENCEPHALITIS; certain NEUROTOXICITY SYNDROMES; metabolic disorders (see BRAIN DISEASES, METABOLIC); and other conditions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In view of our negative results with the calcium antagonist nimodipine as a cerebroprotective agent in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation model in the rat, we examined the protective effects of nimodipine in the four-vessel (carotid and vertebral) occlusion model, a model of global brain ischemia without important cardiovascular depression."7.68Failure of nimodipine to prevent brain damage in a global brain ischemia model in the rat. ( Buylaert, WA; Calle, PA; De Ridder, LI; Paridaens, K, 1993)

( Buylaert, WA; Calle, PA; De Ridder, LI; Paridaens, K, 1993)
" The results of this experiment support this hypothesis by demonstrating that the calcium entry blocker nimodipine, which prevents trauma-induced retrograde amnesia in a 1-trial passive learning situation, will also facilitate the recovery of pre-operatively learned brightness discrimination in rats with visual neocortical injuries."3.67Recovery of function after brain damage: facilitation by the calcium entry blocker nimodipine. ( Brugler, T; Gray-Silva, S; LeVere, TE; Sandin, M, 1989)
"Nimodipine treatment resulted in a statistically significant reduction in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) from baseline compared with placebo during the first few days."2.69Effect of intravenous nimodipine on blood pressure and outcome after acute stroke. ( Ahmed, N; Näsman, P; Wahlgren, NG, 2000)
"Nimodipine was well tolerated and there were few adverse reactions; means of systolic and diastolic blood pressures and the intracranial pressure did not differ between the groups."2.67A trial of the effect of nimodipine on outcome after head injury. ( Bailey, I; Bell, A; Gray, J; Gullan, R; Heiskanan, O; Marks, PV; Marsh, H; Mendelow, DA; Murray, G; Ohman, J, 1991)
"Nimodipine has no consistent effect on brain oxygen consumption or cortical ATP or phosphocreatine levels, although the ischemia-induced fall of brain ATP levels in gerbils or the lowering of intracellular brain pH in rabbits with focal cerebral ischemia were antagonized by the drug."2.38Pharmacological basis for the use of nimodipine in central nervous system disorders. ( Schuurman, T; Scriabine, A; Traber, J, 1989)
"Nimodipine was given twice daily by subcutaneous injections."1.34Calcium antagonism in neonatal rats with kaolin-induced hydrocephalus. ( Del Bigio, MR; Khan, OH; McPhee, LC; Moddemann, LN, 2007)
"Nimodipine did not enhance recovery on any of the behavioral measures."1.28Neurological correlates of unilateral and bilateral "strokes" of the middle cerebral artery in the rat. ( Andersen, AB; Andersen, CS; Finger, S, 1991)
