title: [31P]MRS study of the protective effects of prostaglandin oligomers on forebrain ischemia in rats.
abstract: Two ester-type prostaglandin oligomeric compounds were synthesized, one from prostaglandin E1 (termed MR-356) and the other from prostaglandin B2 (termed OC-5186). Using in vivo [31P]MRS, the protective effects of these oligomers on forebrain ischemia (15 min) were evaluated in a rat model. Forebrain ischemia caused a decrease in intracellular high energy phosphates and intracellular pH (pHi) in the control and compounds-treated groups, but changes of these values in the OC-5186-treated group were significantly smaller than those in the control group. Moreover, the cerebral energy metabolism of the OC-5186-treated group returned to the preischemia level more rapidly than in the control group after forebrain ischemia. MR-356 had some effects, but the differences were not significant.
