    Substantial evidence indicates that mitochondria are a major checkpoint in several pathways leading to neuronal cell death, but discerning critical propagation stages from downstream consequences has been difficult. The mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) may be critical in stroke-related injury. To address this hypothesis, identify potential therapeutics, and screen for new uses for established drugs with known toxicity, 1,040 FDA-approved drugs and other bioactive compounds were tested as potential mPT inhibitors. We report the identification of 28 structurally related drugs, including tricyclic antidepressants and antipsychotics, capable of delaying the mPT. Clinically achievable doses of one drug in this general structural class that inhibits mPT, promethazine, were protective in both in vitro and mouse models of stroke. Specifically, promethazine protected primary neuronal cultures subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reduced infarct size and neurological impairment in mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion. These results, in conjunction with new insights provided to older studies, (a) suggest a class of safe, tolerable drugs for stroke and neurodegeneration; (b) provide new tools for understanding mitochondrial roles in neuronal cell death; (c) demonstrate the clinical/experimental value of screening collections of bioactive compounds enriched in clinically available agents; and (d) provide discovery-based evidence that mPT is an essential, causative event in stroke-related injury

    This research paper provides a new platform for the graph labelling method of 3-isobutyl-2,6bis(m-nitrophenyl)-piperidin4-one semicarbazone. A futuristic approach for the synthesised compound has been developed in the graph theory and sequence of reaction mechanism of compound is done through complete tripartite graph accepting continuous monotonic decomposition concepts. In the same way we have desired functional illustration and acceptance of graph theory to chemistry dictionary. Thus the complex compound is enhanced in mathematical theory to correlate the mode of arrangement of compound in graph labelling. The focus of this application is to bridge the qualitative relationship and representation of research compound in graphical decomposition factors
