Ebselen, a seleno-organic compound which inhibits arachidonic acid lipoxygenase activity and exerts glutathione peroxidase-like activity, ameliorated delayed cerebral vasospasm in a canine two-hemorrhage model. Twenty-five dogs were exposed to subarachnoid hemorrhage and divided into two groups. In the Ebselen-treated group (6 dogs), 50 mg kg-1 of Ebselen was administered twice a day, for 7 days. The other 19 dogs without administration of Ebselen were used as a control group. In the Ebselen-treated group, the basilar artery on Day 7 after subarachnoid hemorrhage was constricted to 68.1 +/- 6.4% (mean +/- SD, n = 6) of the angiographic diameter on Day 0, before subarachnoid hemorrhage. This percentage was significantly larger than the 41.3 +/- 4.6% (n = 19) in the control group. The basilar artery segment obtained on Day 7 in the Ebselen-treated group produced 3.32 +/- 1.82 nmol of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid/mg protein/5 minutes (n = 5), significantly less than the 6.73 +/- 0.95 (n = 3) produced by the artery in the control group. Thus, administration of Ebselen suppressed arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase activation and had a beneficial effect on angiographically detected delayed vasospasm.

D002546 Ischemic Attack, Transient Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic).

D006893 Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acids Eicosatetraenoic acids substituted in any position by one or more hydroxy groups. They are important intermediates in a series of biosynthetic processes leading from arachidonic acid to a number of biologically active compounds such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.

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.

D001094 Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 5-hydroperoxyarachidonate (5-HPETE) which is rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE). The 5-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in leukocytes. 5-Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 5-Lipoxygenase,LTA4 Synthase,Leukotriene A Synthase,Leukotriene A4 Synthase,Leukotriene A4 Synthetase,5 Lipoxygenase,5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate,5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid,Arachidonate 5 Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 5 Lipoxygenase,Synthase, LTA4,Synthase, Leukotriene A,Synthase, Leukotriene A4,Synthetase, Leukotriene A4
