Compositions and methods for treating reperfusion injury or hemorrhage after recanalization therapy

Abstract

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating ischemic stroke in humans, using a tetrafluorobenzyl derivative of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof conjointly with a thrombolytic drug, endovascular thrombectomy, or both (e.g., endovascular thrombectomy and a thrombolytic drug). Administration of a tetrafluorobenzyl derivative of formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt can reduce reperfusion injury and other adverse events in patients conjointly receiving a thrombolytic drug, endovascular thrombectomy, or endovascular thrombectomy with a thrombolytic drug.
