Disclosed is a method for preventing neuronal cell death subsequent to an injury to neuronal tissue, particularly central nervous tissue exposed to an ischemic or hypoxic event, to trauma or to a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. The method includes exposing the cells to a glutaminase inhibitor that is relatively impermeable to healthy, intact cell membranes, and which is preferably a specific inhibitor of the form of glutaminase that is widely present in brain tissue.
