Aim: To evaluate the role of swelling-induced activation of volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) in a neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury model using the selective VRAC blocker 4-(2-butyl-6,7-dichloro-2-cyclopentyl-indan-1-on5-yl) oxobutyric acid (DCPIB).Methods: Cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury was induced in 7-day-old mouse pups with Rice-Vannucci method: Prior to the onset of ischemia, the animals were ip administered DCPIB (10 mg/kg). The animals were sacrificed 24 h afterwards, coronal sections of the brains were cut and the areas of infarct were examined using TTC staining and an image-analysis system. Cultured PC12 cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 4 h. The cellular viability was assessed using Cell Counting Kit 8. Intracellular chloride concentration [Cl-](i) was measured using 6-methoxy-N-ethylquinolinium iodide.Results: DCPIB-treated mice showed a significant reduction in hemispheric corrected infarct volume (26.65%+/- 2.23%) compared to that in vehicle-treated mice (45.52%+/- 1.45%, P
