Description

It has been reported that fasudil hydrochroride, which is an inhibitor of protein kinases such as myosine light chain kinase, has a vasodilating effect on cerebral arteries and a preventive effect for cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, its half life in blood is very short. Therefore, it is not clear whether it maintains an effective blood concentration in clinical cases. On the other hand, hydroxy fasudil(M3), which is metabolite of fasudil hydrochloride, has a brain protective effect and its half life in blood is very long. The authors investigated the time course of the blood concentration of fasudil hydrochloride and hydroxy fasudil, and evaluated their preventive effect for cerebral vasospasm.
