영문 초록

Brovincamine is a selective cerebral vasodilator that was apparently produced via a slow calcium blockade. Brovincamine has been shown to increase ATP production and glucose and oxygen consumption in brain, improving energy metabolism. Also brovincamine inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP and collagen in vivo and in vitro via an increase of cAMP concentration, promoting therapeutic effects on cerebral circulatory disorders. So we investigated and represented the clinical effects and safety of brovincamine in patients with cerebral stroke. Thirty patients of cerebral stroke that was older than 2 months, who were 22 cases of cerebral infarction, 6 of cerebral embolism that originated from cerebral infarction, 6 of cerebral embolism that originated from cardiac diseases, and 2 of cerebral embolism that originated from cardiac diseases, and 2 of cerebral hemorrhage, were administered of 20 mg of oral brovincamine three times daily for 8 weeks. Improvement rates of each symptom after 8 week administration were 30.8% for subjective symptoms, 76% for psychiatric symptoms and 65.6% for neurologic symptoms. In final global improvement rates, much improvement was 10%, improvement was 23.3% slight improvement is 36.7%, and no change was 30%. So global improvement rate including slight improvement was 70%. As for side effects, there were 3 cases of mild gastrointestinal symptoms, but there were no other subjective side effects and significant fluctuation in laboratory examination. Conclusively throughout the present study, brovincamine is judged to be well tolerated and effective in patients with cerebral stroke.
