Summary:
The Effect of Sulindac was studied on an animal model of ischemic stroke. Sulindac, a non steroid anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) could protect cell death due to hypoxia/reoxygenation. This drug was given 2 days before and 24 hrs after ischemia until animals were sacrificed on 3rd or 11th day. Infarct size was measured for these animals. Sulindac induced Hsp 27 in ischemic penumbra and core on Day 3 & 11 with uncoated nylon suture which shows its cell-survival and anti-apoptotic activity. Also, it increased expression of cell survival markers such as Akt, Bcl2 & Grp 78 in ischemic penumbra and core. With silicon suture it reduced expression of Hsp 27 in ischemic penumbra and core, alleviating cell stress and having pro-survival and anti-stress effects. In conclusion sulindac may have excellent potential as neuro protective agent against oxidative stress in cerebral ischemia.
