The effects of vincamine on experimental cerebral infarction in Mongolian gerbils: a pilot study. 1984

W A Ritschel, and T I Mandybur, and K W Grummich, and E D Means

Unilateral ligation of the common carotid artery was performed in 134 gerbils. Study I was comprised of 60 controls and 60 animals receiving I.P. vincamine 1 mg/kg q4h. In a small second study 14 animals received vincamine I.P. 40 mg/kg q12h. In all groups ligation of the carotid artery was performed 6 days after starting dosing. The animals were observed for a further 6 days after carotid artery ligation. Whereas vincamine had no effect on the percent of animals in each group dying after carotid ligation, the extent of stroke lesion, measured histometrically, was significantly reduced (P less than 0.05) in the vincamine treated animals.

D008297 Male Males
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002339 Carotid Arteries Either of the two principal arteries on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the head and neck; each divides into two branches, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. Arteries, Carotid,Artery, Carotid,Carotid Artery
D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014748 Vinca Alkaloids A group of indole-indoline dimers which are ALKALOIDS obtained from the VINCA genus of plants. They inhibit polymerization of TUBULIN into MICROTUBULES thus blocking spindle formation and arresting cells in METAPHASE. They are some of the most useful ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS. Alkaloids, Vinca
D014749 Vincamine A major alkaloid of Vinca minor L., Apocynaceae. It has been used therapeutically as a vasodilator and antihypertensive agent, particularly in cerebrovascular disorders. Cerebroxine,Devincan,Pervincamine,Vincapront,Vincimax
