Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Free radical-induced postasphyxial reperfusion injury has been recognized as an important cause of brain tissue damage. We investigated the effect of high-dose allopurinol (ALLO; 40 mg/kg), a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor and free radical scavenger, on free radical status in severely asphyxiated newborns and on postasphyxial cerebral perfusion and electrical brain activity. METHODS:Free radical status was assessed by serial plasma determination of nonprotein-bound iron (microM), antioxidative capacity, and malondialdehyde (MDA; microM). Cerebral perfusion was investigated by monitoring changes in cerebral blood volume (delta CBV; mL/100 g brain tissue) with near infrared spectroscopy; electrocortical brain activity (ECBA) was assessed in microvolts by cerebral function monitor. Eleven infants received 40 mg/kg ALLO intravenously, and 11 infants served as controls (CONT). Plasma nonprotein-bound iron, antioxidative capacity, and MDA were measured before 4 hours, between 16 and 20 hours, and at the second and third days of age. Changes in CBV and ECBA were monitored between 4 and 8, 16 and 20, 58 and 62, and 104 and 110 hours of age. RESULTS:Six CONT and two ALLO infants died after neurologic deterioration. No toxic side effects of ALLO were detected. Nonprotein-bound iron (mean +/- SEM) in the CONT group showed an initial rise (18.7 +/- 4.6 microM to 21.3 +/- 3.4 microM) but dropped to 7.4 +/- 3.5 microM at day 3; in the ALLO group it dropped from 15.5 +/- 4.6 microM to 0 microM at day 3. Uric acid was significantly lower in ALLO-treated infants from 16 hours of life on. MDA remained stable in the ALLO group, but increased in the CONT group at 8 to 16 hours versus < 4 hours (mean +/- SEM; 0.83 +/- 0.31 microM vs 0.50 +/- 0.14 microM). During 4 to 8 hours, delta CBV-CONT showed a larger drop than delta CBV-ALLO from baseline. During the subsequent registrations CBV remained stable in both groups. ECBA-CONT decreased, but ECBA-ALLO remained stable during 4 to 8 hours of age. Neonates who died had the largest drops in CBV and ECBA. CONCLUSION:This study suggests a beneficial effect of ALLO treatment on free radical formation, CBV, and electrical brain activity, without toxic side effects.
