METHOD FOR INHIBITING APOPTOSIS UNDER ISCHEMIC CONDITION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting apoptosis under ischemic condition, which comprises a 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 present invention, 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.
