Sounds like this is fixing several of the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week.
Maybe these? Ask your doctor when a protocol is coming and who is working on fixing 3 and 5.

Cryptotanshinone (CTs), an active component isolated from the root of
Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM), has been shown to exert potent
neuroprotective property. We here established an oxygen-glucose
deprivation/recovery (OGD/R)-injured Neurovascular Unit (NVU) model
in vitro
to observe the neuroprotective effects of CTs on cerebral
ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI), and explore the underlying
mechanisms. CTs was observed to significantly inhibit the OGD/R-induced
neuronal apoptosis, and decease the activation of Caspase-3 and the
degradation of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), as well as the
increase of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in neurons under OGD/R condition. The
inhibitory effects of CTs on neuron apoptosis were associated with the
blocking of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.
CTs also remarkably ameliorated OGD/R-induced reduction of
transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values and the increase of
transendothelial permeability coefficient (Pe) of sodium fluorescein
(SF) by upregulating the expression of ZO-1, Claudin-5, and Occludin in
brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), which might be related to
the down-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression.
Based on these findings, CTs may play a neuroprotective role in OGD/R
injure in NVU models
in vitro by inhibiting cell apoptosis and alleviating the damage of blood-brain barrier (BBB).
