The blood brain barrier (BBB) maintains the basic stability of the brain tissue under physiological conditions, while destroys and exaggerates brain edema and inflammatory response after ischemic stroke. In this study, we researched S-oxiracetam (S-ORC), a nootropic drug, alleviates BBB dysfunction and protects against ischemic stroke in rats. Middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)/reperfusion in rats is applied to mimic ischemic stroke. One hour after reperfusion, rats are administered intravenously with different dose (0.12, 0.24, or 0.48g/kg) of S-ORC for continuative three days. Seventy-two hours after MCAO, TTC staining, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, brain water content, immunohistochemical staining, EB extravasation, western blot are provided to evaluate the protective effect and possible mechanism of S-ORC on BBB dysfunction. Furthermore, brain concentration of verapamil (P-glycoprotein substrate) and atenolol (paracellular transport marker) were assayed by UPLC-MS/MS co administration with or without S-ORC. The results show that post-treatment of S-ORC decreases cerebral infarct size, lessens brain edema, inhibits neutrophil infiltration and cytokines releasing. Furthermore, S-ORC treatment decreases EB leakage, downregulates MMP-9, upregulates occludin and claudin-5, and decreases brain concentration of verapamil and atenolol after MCAO surgery. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that post-treatment of S-ORC alleviates BBB dysfunction by regulating tight junction proteins (TJPs), upregulating P-glycoprotein function, and protects against ischemic stroke as result.
