Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Prenatal Injuries:

1.	Erythropoietin FDA Link 01/01/2018 - "We hypothesized that a sustained postnatal treatment regimen that combines the endogenous neuroreparative agents erythropoietin (EPO) and melatonin (MLT) would mitigate molecular, sensorimotor, and cognitive abnormalities in adults rats following prenatal injury. " 07/01/2014 - "Further, administration of erythropoietin (EPO) in a clinically relevant postnatal dosing regimen following the prenatal injury protects the developing brain by reducing calpain activity, restoring oligomeric KCC2 expression and attenuating KCC2 fragmentation, thus providing the first report of a safe therapy to address deficits in KCC2 expression. "
2.	Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins (Growth Factors)IBA 11/01/2008 - "Analysis of the specific features of an inflammatory reaction, wound contraction, the synthesis of cell mediators, cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix modulators in response to a prenatal injury has allowed the discussion of the factors contributing to scar-free healing and the possible ways of minimizing fibrosis."
3.	Butyric Acid (Butanoic Acid)IBA 06/01/2010 - "To test the hypothesis that prenatal injury impairs the developmental switch of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)ergic synapses from excitatory to inhibitory, thereby disrupting cortical circuit formation and predisposing to epilepsy, we used immunohistochemistry to compare the expression of cation-chloride transporters that developmentally regulate postsynaptic GABAergic discharges in postmortem cerebral samples from infants born preterm with known white matter injury (n = 11) with that of controls with minimal white matter gliosis (n = 7). "
4.	Lactic Acid (Lactate)FDA LinkGeneric 09/01/1999 - "A false-negative MRS finding (normal lactate/choline but abnormal outcome) was seen in a patient who had an apparent prenatal injury. "
5.	CytokinesIBA 11/01/2008 - "Analysis of the specific features of an inflammatory reaction, wound contraction, the synthesis of cell mediators, cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix modulators in response to a prenatal injury has allowed the discussion of the factors contributing to scar-free healing and the possible ways of minimizing fibrosis."
6.	MelatoninIBA 01/01/2018 - "We hypothesized that a sustained postnatal treatment regimen that combines the endogenous neuroreparative agents erythropoietin (EPO) and melatonin (MLT) would mitigate molecular, sensorimotor, and cognitive abnormalities in adults rats following prenatal injury. "
7.	LipopolysaccharidesIBA 12/01/2018 - "To induce prenatal injury, time-mated C57BL6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 μg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS(on the day 15 of gestation. "
8.	Indicators and Reagents (Reagents)IBA 07/01/1999 - "Correlation of FTV with visceral thrombi in autopsy specimens might lead to a more accurate estimate of the prevalence of somatic thrombi as a significant and underrecognized cause of prenatal injury or perinatal death, and show the potential validity of placental FTV as an indicator of thrombotic lesions in the fetus and newborns who survive. "
9.	Glycine (Aminoacetic Acid)FDA LinkGeneric 02/01/2006 - "Prospective treatment with this regimen can favorably modify the early neonatal course of severe NKH but does not prevent the poor long-term outcome, suggesting glycine-induced prenatal injury and/or ongoing postnatal damage."
10.	gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)IBA 06/01/2010 - "To test the hypothesis that prenatal injury impairs the developmental switch of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)ergic synapses from excitatory to inhibitory, thereby disrupting cortical circuit formation and predisposing to epilepsy, we used immunohistochemistry to compare the expression of cation-chloride transporters that developmentally regulate postsynaptic GABAergic discharges in postmortem cerebral samples from infants born preterm with known white matter injury (n = 11) with that of controls with minimal white matter gliosis (n = 7).
