Edaravone, a free radical scavenger, has been shown to be neuroprotective in vivo and in vitro. However, the impact of small temperature variations on its neuroprotective actions remains unknown.We examined the degree of neuroprotection conferred by various concentrations of edaravone on cortical cultures exposed to prolonged hypoxia (24 h) under three conditions: mild hypothermia (32 degrees C), normothermia (37 degrees C), and mild hyperthermia (39 degrees C). The survival of cortical neurones from E16 Wistar rats (SR) was evaluated using photomicrographs taken before and after exposure to hypoxia.The mean survival of neurones exposed to hypoxia at normothermia was 14.7 (sem 1.8)%. The addition of 50 mu M edaravone significantly improved the mean survival to 40.5 (4.7)%. This improvement was noted at higher doses of edaravone (5 mu M
