- Description
- The neuroprotective properties of aspirin were investigated using cyanide-induced neurotoxicity as model. Cyanide, a known neurotoxic agent significantly increased lipid peroxidation and superoxide anion levels in rat brain homogenate in a concentration-dependent manner (0.25–1.0 mM). When homogenate, containing 1.0 mM KCN was cotreated with aspirin (1.0 mM) there was a significant decrease in lipid peroxidation. Aspirin (0.5 mM and 1.0 mM) also significantly reduced KCN-induced superoxide anion generation. The results of the present report therefore indicate a neuroprotective role for aspirin.
