Abstract

The invention provdes methods of reducing tissue damage resulting from ischemia which comprise administering to a mammal in need of such reduction an effective amount of a combination, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising Such combination, of an NHE-1 inhibitor and a second compound selected from the group consisting of: (a) a complement modulator, (b) a metabolic modulator, (c) an anti-apoptotic agent, (d) a nitric oxide synthase-related agent, and (e) an enzyme/protein modulator. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an amount of an NHE-1 inhibitor; an amount of a second compound selected from the group consisting of (a) a complement modulator, (b) a metabolic modulator, (c) an anti-apoptotic agent, (d) a nitric oxide synthase-related agent, and an enzyme/protein modulator selected from the group consisting of a protein kinase C activator, an endothelin converting enzyme inhibitor, a tissue-activated fibrinolytic inhibitor (TAFI), a Na+/Ca+2 exchanger isoform-1 (NCX-1) inhibitor, and a poly (ADP ribose) synthetase (PARS/PARP) inhibitor; and, preferably, a pharmaceutically acceptable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, vehicle, or diluent.
