Abstract
The present invention is based on the discoveries that PAN-811 (1) reduces infarct volume, suppresses brain edema and decreases mortality associated with ischemia; (2) blocks veratridine-induced swelling and neuronal cell death; (3) chelates free calcium and inhibits MMP-9 activity; and (4) blocks calcium-induced neuronal cell death and suppresses glutamate-induced calcium influx into neuronal cells. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for treating, ameliorating or preventing vasogenic and/or cytotoxic brain edema, by administering to a subject in need thereof certain thiosemicarbazone compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. An example of such a thiosemicarbazone is 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (PAN-811).
