| مستخلص: | The need to screen cerebroprotective compounds without anesthetic interference prompted the development of a model using hypoxic rats. In this model two outcome measures were used: (1) the time to reach isoelectric electroencephalogram (iEEG), caused by nitrogen gas inhalation in the test chamber, and (2) the time for behavioral recovery measuring the latency of restoration of the head-withdrawal reflex upon vibrissae stimulation. We report here data of blood chemistry, cerebral tissue oxygen measurements, a definition of a proposed scoring system, and the pharmacological results of RGH-2202. The findings with RGH-2202 are used here to show the utility of the screening method. Events during hypoxia:Arterial and venous pO2, pCO2, and pH, and brain tissue pO2significantly declined. Significant correlations were established among the pO2of cerebral tissue, blood, and the test chamber. RGH-2202 significantly and dose-dependently shortened the iEEG time; the compound’s Effective Dose30was 227.8 mg kg−1. Events during recovery:Immediately after the iEEG, when the atmosphere in the chamber was replaced with room air, the arterial, venous and brain tissue pO2increased above the control level and subsequently recovered to baseline levels. Behavioral recovery occurred before blood chemistry was otherwise normalized. RGH-2202 significantly and dose-dependently shortened the recovery time; the Effective Dose30was 8.71 mg kg−1. The available data define and support the physiological basis of this practicable rat-screening model. |
