Use of composition containing cilostazol in cerebrovascular diseases

Abstract

Disclosed is the use of a composition containing cilostazol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and edaravone in the preparation of a drug for treating cerebrovascular diseases, especially ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. The experiment result shows that the tail vein administration of 1-15 mg/kg of cilostazol or 1.67-8.33 mg/kg of edaravone on rats with a focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury can significantly ameliorate neurological defects in rats with an MCAO and reduce a cerebral infarction area; and performing compound combination within the dosage range (the mass ratio of cilostazol:edaravone is 1:5 to 5:1) can be synergistic. The tail vein administration of 3.33-16.67 mg/kg of cilostazol or 3.33-16.67 mg/kg of edaravone on mice with a focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury can significantly ameliorate neurological defects in mice with an MCAO and reduce a cerebral infarction area.
