    Product Description

    NXY-059 is a nitrone free radical spin trap with neuroprotective properties.1,2,3 It inhibits transport of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) from the luminal to the abluminal compartment in an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) under ischemic conditions at a concentration of 250 μM.4 NXY-059 (10 mg/kg per h) decreases infarct volume by 59% in a rat model of transient ischemia induced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA).2 It decreases functional disability in the hemiparetic arm of marmosets in the Hill-and-Valley staircase, two-tube choice, and six-tube search tests following MCA occlusion-induced ischemia when administered at a dose of 16 mg/kg per hour.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
