Use of L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate alone or in combination with glutathione esters and/or amino acids in the treatment of reperfusion injury.

摘要

The use of L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate for the preparation of a composition for treating and/or reducing ischemic reperfusion injury. To this end, in embodiment, the composition is used for treating and/or reducing reperfusion injury in a patient in danger of reperfusion injury. In an embodiment, the composition is used for limiting an expected ischemic reperfusion injury in a patient prior to an expected ischemic event. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the composition is used for limiting ischemic reperfusion injury in a patient after the onset of an ischemic event.
