Abstract:
Ischemic stroke (IS) is an acute, life-threatening condition, the outcome of which is determined by the extent of brain tissue damage and the quality and speed of medical care in the first minutes and hours of illness. Oxidative stress is an important mechanism of brain tissue damage during both ischemia and reperfusion. This review examines the adverse effects of oxidative stress during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in IS. The results of preclinical studies demonstrating Mexidol's ability to neutralize free radicals and activate antioxidant defenses are presented. Data from clinical trials using Mexidol in combination with thrombolytic therapy in patients with IS are also considered. Keywords: ischemic stroke, revascularization, oxidative stress, Mexidol.
