Beyond its antiplatelet capacity, the potential neuroprotective mechanisms of prasugrel are poorly addressed experimentally. Relevant to the imbalance between neuro-inflammation and neuroprotective pathways in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), our study evaluated the anti-ischemic potential of prasugrel treatment through tackling novel targets. Male Wistar rats were allocated into 2 sets; set 1 (I/R 60min/3days) to assess the neurological deficits/biochemical impact of prasugrel and set 2 (I/R 60min/5days) for evaluating short memory/morphological/immunoreactive changes. Each set comprised 4 groups designated as sham, sham + prasugrel, I/R, and I/R + prasugrel. Post-administration of prasugrel for 3 and 5 days reduced neurological deficit scores and improved the spontaneous activity/short term spatial memory using the Y-maze paradigm. On the molecular level, prasugrel turned off SUMO2/3-inhibitory kappa (Im) BÜ, Ubc9 and nuclear factor kappa (NF-m) B. Besides, it inhibited malondialdehyde (MDA) and inactivated astrocytes by downregulating the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) hippocampal immune-expression UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
