Abstract
Edaravone,a free radical scavenger,has been used for the treatment of acute cerebral ischemic stroke. Recent researches show that the pharmacological effect of edaravone may involve many organs and its clinical application is not limited to ischemic stroke. This article reviewed the pharmacological progress in the protective effects of edaravone on different organ injuries( brain,heart,liver,lung, etc.) in order to provide evidence for the novel clinical applications of edaravone in future.
