摘要

2105571 9215546 PCTABS00016 Compounds and a method useful for protection of tissue cells in a mammalian body from irreversible damages due to lactic acidosis caused by oxygen deficiency. The protection is achieved by administering a compound having a cell membrane permeability and/or ability to cross the blood brain barrier and being able to provide a buffering action to prevent an increase in a hydrogen ion concentration over the physiologically acceptable levels.
