Hypothesis-generating for PBN/S-PBN neuroprotection in cardiac arrest; human trials needed before clinical adoption.
Does PBN or S-PBN improve neurological outcome and reduce oxidative damage in a piglet model of circulatory arrest?
PBN and S-PBN demonstrate neuroprotective effects in a piglet model of circulatory arrest, suggesting potential as therapeutic agents for global ischemic injury.
Lars Wiklund (2005) studied Cardiac arrest and global ischemic injury. PBN (alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone) and S-PBN was evaluated on Neurological outcome and peroxidation/inflammation markers. In a piglet model of cardiac arrest, administration of PBN and S-PBN enhanced neurological outcome, decreased oxidative damage markers, and improved cerebral cortical blood flow autoregulation.
