The novel compound LOE 908 attenuates acute neuromotor dysfunction but not cognitive impairment or cortical tissue loss following traumatic brain injury in rats.

Abstract：

:Experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates massive disturbances in Ca2+ concentrations in the brain that may contribute to neuronal damage. Intracellular Ca2+ may be elevated via influx through voltage-operated cation channels, ligand-gated ionotropic channels, and store-operated cation channels (SOCs). In the present study, we evaluated the neurobehavioral and histological effects of acute posttraumatic administration of (R,S)-(3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-isoquinoline-1-yl)-2-phenyl-N,N-di[2-(2 ,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-acetamide (LOE 908), a broad spectrum inhibitor of voltage-operated cation channels and SOCs. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 53) were trained in the Morris water maze, anesthetized (60 mg/kg pentobarbital, i.p.), and subjected to lateral fluid percussion brain injury (2.5-2.7 atm; n = 38) or surgery without injury (n = 15). At 15 min postinjury, animals were randomized to receive intravenous administration of either a high dose of LOE 908 (4 mg/kg bolus followed by 160 mg/kg over 24 h; n = 13), a low dose of LOE 908 (2 mg/kg bolus followed by 80 mg/kg over 24 h; n = 12), or vehicle (n = 13). Uninjured controls received the high dose of LOE 908 (n = 8) or vehicle (n = 7). Treatment with either dose of LOE 908 significantly improved neuromotor function at 48 h postinjury when compared to vehicle treatment. Although a significant deficit in visuospatial memory was observed in brain-injured animals at this timepoint when compared to uninjured animals, neither dose of LOE 908 attenuated injury-induced cognitive dysfunction. Histological evaluation revealed that neither dose of LOE 908 affected cortical lesion size at 48 h postinjury. These data suggest that broad spectrum cation channel blockers may be beneficial in the treatment of neurological motor dysfunction when administered in the acute posttraumatic period.
