Dl-3-N-Butylphthalide Alleviates the Blood–Brain Barrier Permeability of Focal Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion in Mice

In conclusion, NBP exerts neuroprotective effects through attenuating cerebral infarct volume and neurological deficit score, reducing cerebral edema and BBB permeability. The neuroprotective effect of NBP is possibly related to its ability to improve blood flow in cerebral ischemic areas. NBP may turn into a novel treatment drug to prevent BBB dysfunction in ischemic stroke.
