Title:
USE OF CYTOSKELETON MODIFYING COMPOUNDS AGAINST INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE CHANGES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001064219
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Cytoskeleton modifying compounds modulate water homeostasis in cells expressing aquaporin 4 water channels and thus offer the possibility of intervening in water shifts, edema formation and intracranial pressure rise during and after head trauma or ischemic episodes.
