Abstract

Une intervention pharmacologique de protection des cellules, tissus et organes humains contre des lésions par reperfusion après ischémie, ou d'atténuation des effets négatifs, consiste à faire passer une composition thérapeutique dans des cellules, des tissus ou des organes privés de sang et/ou d'oxygène, de préférence avant ou en même temps que la réintroduction d'oxygène. Dans un mode de réalisation pratique, la composition thérapeutique est une solution stérile isotonique comprenant environ 1 à 200 micromoles d'un composé anti-oxydant, tel que la riboflavine ou un analogue de riboflavine. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, ladite composition thérapeutique est une solution stérile isotonique comprenant environ 0,1 à 200 micromoles du composé anti-oxydant, de la pyrroliquinoline quinone. Dans les modes de réalisation préférés, on administre environ 5 à 10 millimoles d'une substance nutritive cellulaire, par exemple du glucose, conjointement avec le composé anti-oxydant.
