Effects of the new chemical agent, bifemelane, on ischemic cerebral edema were studied in 70 mongolian gerbils. Five different doses of bifeme-lane (0.2-25.0 mg/kg) as well as saline were admi-nistered intraperitoneally in 6 groups of animals (n=46), and 30 min afterward both common caro-tid arteries were occluded. The brain was re-moved 90 min after the occlusion, and the cerebral water content (CWC) in the bifemelane treated groups and the controls was compared. To assess hemodynamic effects of bifemelane, regional ce-rebral blood flow (rCBF) was also measured in 24 animals using hydrogen clearance techniques.

The CWC in the saline-treated controls (79.9± O.4%) was significantly increased compared to the normal values (78. 4±0.3%). The CWC in the groups receiving 1 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg of bifemelane showed 79.3 ± 0.3%, 79.5 ± 0.2% and 78.9±0.3%, which were significantly lower than the controls (p <O.005, p<0,02, p <O.001). Thus, bifemelane reduced a development of ischemic cerebral edema in a dose-dependent manner.

The rCBF in the bifemelane groups and the controls measured before the drug administration was the same ranging within 35.0-37.0 ml/100 g brain/min. The administration of bifemelane pro-duced small rCBF increase. After the carotid artery occlusion, rCBF in all control animals decreased below 6.0 ml/100 g brain/min, the cri-tical level for cellular ion-pump function. The majority of bifemelane-treated animals also showed a similar flow reduction. However, in 33% of animals receiving 10 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg of bife-melane, rCBF was maintained above this critical level.

The results of the present study suggest that bifemelane may have suppressive effects on ische-mic cerebral edema. Judging from the fact that cerebral edema was most remarkably depressed in 10 mg/kg group associating with some collateral blood flow increase, the circulatory improvement might play some role in the mechanism of edema suppression. However, the role of circulatory improvement is probably small, since 25 mg/kg of bifemelane also produced a collateral blood flow increase but failed to suppress the edema. The anti-edma effects of bifemelane seem to be based on some other mechanisms, such as the inhibition of membrane lipid hyperoxidation, which was found to exist in this agent recently.
