Background and Purpose During a cerebral infarction, a complex cascade of cytotoxic events ultimately determines the volume of brain cell loss. The studies presented here demonstrate that aminoguanidine, an experimental therapeutic currently in clinical trials to prevent diabetic complications, is cerebroprotective in focal cerebral infarction.Methods Adult Lewis rats (n=6 to 12 per group)were anesthetized with ketamine and subjected to focal cerebral infarction by tandem permanent occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery and ipsilateral common carotid artery (CCA), followed by temporary occlusion of the contralateral CCA. Infarct volume (cortical) was assessed 24 hours after the onset of ischemia by planimetric analysis of coronal brain slices stained with tetrazolium.Results Aminoguanidine (320 mg/kg IP) administered 15 minutes after the onset of ischemia resulted in a significant reduction of infarct volume (7.6+/-2.6% of hemisphere in controls versus 1.3+/-0.2% of hemisphere in aminoguanidine-treated rats; P
