Ischemic strokes are major causes of death and disability. Searching for
potential therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat stroke is necessary, given
the increase in overall life expectancy. Epidemiological reports indicate that
metformin is an oral antidiabetic medication that can reduce the incidence of
ischemic events in patients with diabetes mellitus. Its mechanism of action has
not been elucidated, but metformin pleiotropic effects involve actions in
addition to glycemic control. AMPK activation has been described as one of the
pharmacological mechanisms that explain the action of metformin and that lead to
neuroprotective effects. Most experiments done in the cerebral ischemia model,
via middle cerebral artery occlusion in rodents (MCAO), had positive results
favoring metformin's neuroprotective role and involve several cellular pathways
like oxidative stress, endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation, activation
of angiogenesis and neurogenesis, autophagia, and apoptosis. We will review the
pharmacological properties of metformin and its possible mechanisms that lead to
neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia.
