Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and adult disability worldwide. Nevertheless, acute treatments for stroke are severely limited. Neuroprotective drugs, which boast the ability to halt the ischemic cascade ischemic cascade Vascular disease A series of events lasting for hrs to several days after an initial ischemic event that results in extensive necrosis and tissue damage beyond the tissue zone first affected by the initial lack of blood flow , offer huge hope to sufferers, but as yet, no such compound has received US approval. Successful neuroprotection is limited by the short window of opportunity for active intervention A procedure used in a lawsuit by which the court allows a third person who was not originally a party to the suit to become a party, by joining with either the plaintiff or the defendant. . A more in-depth understanding of the mechanisms involved in cell injury and death is needed to aid drug development. The cascade of cell death is multi-faceted and although simple single target mechanisms have shown some efficacy in pre-clinical trials, a more complex multi targeted approach may prove more successful in patients.

Several promising compounds are currently in development.
