nimodipine and Necrosis

nimodipine has been researched along with Necrosis in 9 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.

Necrosis: The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We conclude that the combination of nimodipine and MK-801, if begun 20 minutes after ischemia, may offer a neuroprotective effect against neuronal necrosis in transient forebrain ischemia and that protection is maximal in the major extrahippocampal brain regions."3.68Combination therapy with nimodipine and dizocilpine in a rat model of transient forebrain ischemia. ( Auer, RN; Rod, MR, 1992)
"Several authors have recently proposed that excessive calcium (Ca++) influx into postsynaptic cells may be the mechanism by which excitotoxins such as glutamate (Glu), N-methylaspartate (NMA) and kainic acid (KA) cause neuronal necrosis."3.67Calcium influx accompanies but does not cause excitotoxin-induced neuronal necrosis in retina. ( Labruyere, J; Olney, JW; Price, MT; Samson, L, 1985)
"Liver necrosis was produced in rats by administering 3 doses o a mixture o carbon tetrachloide+olive oil, 2 ml/kg, ip."1.29Protection of CCL4-induced liver damage in rats by some calcium channel blockers. ( Kaur, AH; Mathur, SK; Singh, J, 1995)
"Nimodipine-treated as well as parathyroidectomied animals showed significantly fewer hypertensive cerebral lesions."1.28Therapy of diseased stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats with nimodipine. ( Kazda, S; Lenz, P; Luckhaus, G; Stasch, JP, 1990)
