MCAO maie Sprague— Dawley rats |
10% solution of DFO in water delivered IN |
rats were pretreated 3X at 3 h intervals 48 h before MCAO with either 6 mg doses or 1.8 mg doses; p re treatment with a single 6 mg dose was also tested; 6 mg dose administered immediately after reperfusion, at 2 h, and at 4 h; 24 h after MCAO rats were dosed 3X at 3 h intervals |
0.9–18.5 μM after 30 min |
55% decrease in infarct volume in both pre- and post-treated rats; a 200- fold increase of DFO in the cortex relative to blood compared to IV delivery; decrease in post-ischemic weight loss in pretreated rats |
