Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Edaravone, also known as Radicut and MCI-186, is a novel potent free radical scavenger that has been clinically used to reduce the neuronal damage following ischemic stroke. Edaravone exerts neuroprotective effects by inhibiting endothelial injury and by ameliorating neuronal damage in brain ischemia. Edaravone provides the desirable features of NOS: it increases eNOS (beneficial NOS for rescuing ischemic stroke) and decreases nNOS and iNOS (detrimental NOS).

Product Data
Biological target:
Edaravone is a strong novel free radical scavenger.
In vitro activity:
To explore the effect of EDA (edaravone) on LPS-stimulated phenotypic transformation of microglia, the expression of Arg-1 and TNF-α was detected by ELISA and RT-PCR (Figures 5A,B). The results showed that immunoreactivity of M1 marker (TNF-α) was in a high level and that of M2 marker (Arg-1) was low in LPS-treated cultures. However, TNF-α and Arg-1 expressions were significantly reversed in the EDA groups. This result suggested that EDA shifted the inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.

In vivo activity:
Cd-induced neurotoxicity was observed in position navigation training (days 1–6, Fig. 2B-C), as it impaired the spatial exploration and memory abilities of mice in the Morris water maze test, with prolonged escape latency compared to controls (Fig. 2B and C). However, Eda (edaravone) treatment eliminated Cd-induced neurotoxicity and improved learning and memory deficits in mice.
