Abstract:
:A reduction in nerve conduction velocity and an increase in resistance to ischemic conduction failure are early signs of neural dysfunction in both diabetic patients and animal models of diabetes. The effect of Bimoclomol (BRLP-42), a drug under clinical development for the treatment of diabetic complications, on experimental peripheral neuropathy was examined in rats made diabetic by injection of streptozotocin. Daily oral doses of Bimoclomol (10 or 20 mg/kg) or control dose of gamma-linolenic acid (260 mg/kg), an agent with known neuropathy-improving effects, were administered for 3 months. Treatments began 1 day after diabetes induction to assess the prophylactic efficacy of Bimoclomol. Neuropathy was evaluated electrophysiologically by measuring motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities and resistance to ischemic conduction failure of sciatic nerve in vivo. Bimoclomol significantly reduced nerve conduction slowing and retarded the typical elevated ischaemic resistance due to streptozotocin-induced neuropathy, suggesting that the drug might be a useful treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathies.
