1. Adenosine is an endogenous neuroprotective agent; stimulation of A1 receptors decreases excitatory amino acid neurotransmission and stimulation of A2 receptors inhibits platelet and neutrophil activation and promotes vasodilation. 2. Post-ischemic administration of propentofylline (HWA 285) reduces neuronal damage in
