Effect of propentofylline (HWA 285) on metabolic and functional recovery in the spinal cord after ischemia.

The effect of propentofylline on metabolic and functional recovery in the spinal cord after ischemia and reperfusion was investigated. Ischemia was induced by abdominal aorta ligation below the left renal artery for 20 or 30 min. Propentofylline (1, 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) was administered intravenously, immediately after reperfusion and the animals recovered for 4 days. Propentofylline at a dose of 1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg had only a slight effect on energy metabolism recovery in the spinal cord and neurological recovery of hindlimbs. However, almost complete recovery of adenine nucleotides, lactate and glucose occurred after 20 min of ischemia in the animals treated with 10 or 20 mg/kg propentofylline. Partial metabolic recovery occurred even after 30 min of ischemia and 20 mg/kg propentofylline. The recovery of energy metabolism correlated closely with the recovery of neurological functions after ischemia and 4 days of survival.[1]
