How Anatibant works
Anatibant is a new potent and selective non-peptide antagonist of the bradyknin B2 receptor. Anatibant crosses the blood brain barrier, reduces brain edema formation and brain damage, and improves neurological function following experimental traumatic brain injury. The underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. So far bradykinin B2 receptor-mediated neuroprotection was mainly explained by the reduction of vascular permeability and subsequent reduction of post-ischemic or post-traumatic brain edema.
