METHOD FOR INHIBITING APOPTOSIS UNDER ISCHEMIC CONDITION

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided is method for inhibiting apoptosis under ischemic condition which lacks an adequate supply of oxygen and glucose using antibiotics. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises the step of administering antibiotics of quinolones, quinones, aminoglycosides or chloramphenicol to an individual under ischemic condition which lacks an adequate supply of oxygen and glucose. In accordance with the method, the antibiotics increase cell viability under hypoxic and hypoglycemic condition, assuring that they can be applied as a therapeutic agent for ischemia-associated diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
