Preclinical pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and plasma protein binding of sodium (±)-5-bromo-2-(α-hydroxypentyl) benzoate (BZP), an innovative potent anti-ischemic stroke agent

Sodium (±)-5-bromo-2-(α-hydroxypentyl) benzoate (BZP) is a potential cardiovascular drug and exerts potent neuroprotective effect against transient and long-term ischemic stroke in rats. BZP could convert into 3-butyl-6-bromo-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone (Br-NBP) in vitro and in vivo. However, the pharmac...
