The fundamental pathophysiology of ischemic-hypoxia is oxygen depletion. Fischer's ratio is essential for monitoring hypoxia intensity. the current study highlighted the prophylactic role of sophoretin (QRC) and/or melatonin (MLN) versus sodium nitrite (SN) brain hypoxia. Prophylactic treatment with sophoretin and MLN, was preceded with hypoxia-induction via sodium nitrite (60 mg/kg, S.C.). SN decreased hemoglobin (Hb), elevated , HSP-70, IL-6 and TNF-α. Sophoretin and/or MLN restored the ameliorated inflammatory biomarkers, modulated norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Similarly, single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE or COMET) DNA damage assay confirmed this finding. Treatment via sophoretin and MLN was the most effective therapy for improving sodium nitrite-induced brain injury.
