Systemic administration of argatroban reduces secondary brain damage in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage: histopathological assessment
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of argatroban, a thrombin inhibitor, on brain edema and inflammation in a rat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model. ICH was induced by injecting collagenase IV into the right caudate nucleus. Argatroban was administered intraperitoneally. Argatroban reduced brain edema from 44.6 to 14.3 microl at 72 h. Infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes at 24 h and monocyte/macrophage at 24 and 72 h was significantly suppressed by argatroban. Argatroban did not increase the volume of hematoma. Systemic administration of argatroban reduced secondary brain damage including edema and inflammation in a rat ICH model.
