Abstract

The 21-aminosteroid ("lazaroid") U-74389G (U74), an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation (LP), was used to protect mitochondrial function following TBI in young adult male rats. The animals received a severe (2.2 mm) controlled cortical impact-TBI. U74 was administered intravenous at 15 min and 2 h post injury (hpi) followed by intraperitoneal dose at 8 hpi at the following doses (mg/kg): 0.3 (IV) + 1 (IP), 1 + 3, 3 + 10, 10 + 30. Total cortical mitochondria were isolated at 72 hpi and respiratory rates were measured. Mitochondrial 4-HNE and acrolein were evaluated as indicators of LP-mediated oxidative damage. At 72 h post-TBI injured animals had significantly lower mitochondrial respiration rates compared to sham. Administration of U74 at the 1 mg/kg dosing paradigm significantly improved mitochondrial respiration rates for States II, III, V(II) and RCR compared to vehicle-treated animals. At 72 h post-TBI injured animals administration of U74 also reduced reactive aldehydes levels compared to vehicle-treated animals. The aim of this study was to explore the hypothesis that interrupting secondary oxidative damage via acute pharmacological inhibition of LP by U74 following a CCI-TBI would provide mitochondrial neuroprotective effec...Continue Reading
