Pamoic acid (PA) prevents cerebral ischemia and improves sensorimotor dysfunction. A. PA treatment reduced infarct size 24 h after the MCAO at a dose of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg body weight. One-Way ANOVA, F(2/19) = 32.54, ***P = 0.001, (Bonferroni multiple comparison test) Values are means ± s.e.m, (n for MCAO = 10, n for 50 mg/kg PA = 7, and n for 100 mg/kg PA = 5). B. PA significantly affected the infarct distribution 24 h after the MCAO at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Two-Way ANOVA, F(1/70) = 45.1,**P ≤ 0.0065,***P = 0.0008, (Bonferroni multiple comparison test) Values are means ± s.e.m, n = 4. C. PA is neuroprotective 48 h after the MCAO at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW. *P = 0.0136 (unpaired t-test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n for MCAO = 6, and n for MCAO + PA = 7). D. PA treatment (100 mg/kg) lost its activity in the presence of ML194 (0.7 mg/kg, s.c, 20 min before PA injections) 24 h after the MCAO. One-Way ANOVA, F(3/24) = 6.957, *P = 0.0256, **P ≤ 0.0055, (Bonferroni multiple comparison test) Values are means ± s.e.m, n = 6–8, (n for MCAO = 7, and n for MCAO + PA = 8, MCAO + PA + ML194 = 7, and MCAO + ML194 = 6). E. Delayed treatment (The first dose was 1 h after the MCAO) with PA (100 mg/kg) reduced the infarct size 24 h after the MCAO. **P = 0.0038 (unpaired t-test), values are means ± s.e.m, (n = 5). F. PA treatment reduced the number of right turns in corner test 24 h after MCAO (100 mg/kg). Two-Way ANOVA, F(1/17) = 0.9158, *P = 0.0339, (Bonferroni multiple comparison test) Values are means ± s.e.m, (n for MCAO = 10, n for MCAO + PA = 9). G. Mice treated with PA improved the latency to move one full body length 24 h after MCAO(100 mg/kg). Two-Way ANOVA, F(1/19) = 7.082, **P = 0.0049, (Bonferroni multiple comparison test) Values are means ± s.e.m, (n for MCAO = 11, n for MCAO + PA = 10). H. In the rotarod test, PA treatment (100 mg/kg) reduced the latency to fall from the rod 24 h after the MCAO. Two-Way ANOVA, F(1/10) = 4.463, ***P = 0.001, (Bonferroni multiple comparison test) Values are means ± s.e.m, (n for MCAO = 5, n for MCAO + PA = 6).
