Abstract
It may be possible to protect catecholaminergic neurons from reactive oxygen species-induced apoptotic death by not only blocking catecholamine synthesis, but also, by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase-dependent chloride/bicarbonate exchange with acetazolamide or chlorthalidone. These agents may prove salutary in reducing cell death in patients with traumatic brain injury or stroke.
