In Vivo Dimethyl malonate (6 mg/kg/min; intravenous infusion; 51 min) promotes return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and neurological performance in rats after cardiac arrest[1]. Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley male rats, cardiac arrest model[1] Dosage: 6 mg/kg/min Administration: Intravenous infusion, 51 min Result: Improved ROSC after CA. Prevented the decline in neurological function and inhibited the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons at day 3 after CPR. Inhibited caspase-3 cleavage and increased HIF-1α expression at day 3 after CPR. Decreased the level of oxidative stress at day 3 after CPR. Inhibited excessive hyperpolarization of MMP and restrained the leakage of cytochrome C after 45 min reperfusion.
