Fasudil Hydrochloride (INN) is a potent Rho-kinase inhibitor and vasodilator[1]. Since it was discovered, it has been used for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm, which is often due to subarachnoid hemorrhage,[2] as well as to improve the cognitive decline seen in stroke victims. It has been found to be effective for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. [3] It was demonstrated in February of 2009 that Fasudil could also be used to enhance memory and improve the prognosis of Alzheimers patients.[4]
