Abstract

The cardioprotective effects of necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-7 were studied in the rat model of permanent coronary occlusion. It was found that intraperitoneal injection of necrostatin-7 at a dose of 14.5 mg/kg 60 minutes prior to permanent left coronary artery occlusion reduced the amount of scar tissue and scar length in the left ventricle on the 21st day after surgery. In addition, pretreatment with necrostatin-7 resulted in decreased plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, which points to the improvement in left ventricular function.
