The present invention provides methods of attenuating or preventing brain injury mediated damage in the central nervous system by attenuating or preventing leukotriene-mediated events following a brain injury or long-term neuroinflammation after brain injury, in Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The methods comprise administering at least one 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor either before or after the brain injury. The method finds use in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder and other brain injuries associated with production of leukotrienes in the central nervous system. Preferably the FLAP inhibitor is administered intranasally and preferably for certain high risk individuals prophylactically prior to any potential brain injury event.
本发明提供了在阿尔茨海默病、多发性硬化症、中风和创伤后应激障碍中,通过减轻或预防脑损伤后或脑损伤后长期神经炎症后
白三烯介导的事件,减轻或预防脑损伤介导的中枢神经系统损伤的方法。这些方法包括在脑损伤之前或之后施用至少一种 5-脂氧合酶活化蛋白(F
LAP)
抑制剂。该方法可用于治疗创伤性脑损伤(TBI)、中风、多发性硬化症、阿尔茨海默病、创伤后应激障碍和其他与中枢神经系统
白三烯生成有关的脑损伤。F
LAP
抑制剂最好经鼻给药,对于某些高危人群,最好在任何潜在脑损伤事件发生前进行预防性给药。
