Bopindolol Malonate

The objective of this study was to evaluate the protection conferred by lactoferrin, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin in cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were used to construct an oxygen and glucose deprivation model in vitro, and ICR mice underwent carotid artery "ligation-relaxation" to construct a cerebral I/R injury model in vivo. The levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and downstream factors including nuclear factor-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-1β were measured. Metabonomics detection and data mining were conducted to identify the specific metabolic sponsor of the 3 proteins. The results showed that lactoferrin, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin protected neurons from cerebral I/R injury by increasing the level of bopindolol and subsequently inhibiting the TLR4-related pathway to different degrees; β-lactoglobulin had the strongest activity of the 3 proteins. In summary, this study is the first to investigate and compare the protective effects of lactoferrin, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin in a cerebral stroke model. The results implicate TLR4 as a novel target of the 3 bioactive proteins to prevent cerebral I/R injury.
