Administration of CBG000592 (riboflavin/vitamin B2) in patients with acute ischemic stroke to know if it causes a reduction of glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity.
The investigators hypothesis focuses on the effect of riboflavin given for the first three hours of ischemic stroke, as a reducing agent of cerebral glutamate concentration. This administration would produce a reduction of excitotoxic damage and consequently generate clinical improvement, while a lower income and a better functional outcome of patients at three months.

Reduction of serum glutamate concentration
Difference between serum glutamate concentration from basal (prior to medication infusion) and levels at 3 ± 1 and 6 ± 1 hours, from administered medication, including branch CBG000592 (riboflavin/vitamin B2) and placebo.
Time frame: 7 hours
Days of hospitalisation
To study the average length of stay in patients with acute ischemic stroke: difference in days, between patient arrival and the patient's discharge, between the two treatment arms.
Time frame: 3 months
Percentage of clinical improvement (basal-high)
To study the rate of clinical improvement in patients with acute ischemic stroke: clinical improvement according to the formula: (NIHSSbasal-NIHSSalta) / NIHSSbasal x 100 and compared between the two treatment arms.
Time frame: 3 months
Functional outcome using Rankin Scale at 90 days
Study the functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke: modified Rankin scale at 90 days, between two treatment arms.
Time frame: 3 months
Serum glutamate concentrations
Variations of serum glutamate curves in patients with acute ischemic stroke between two branches: all concentrations of serum glutamate.
Time frame: 7 hours
Prognosis of patients using Rankin Scale at 90 days
To explore the prognosis of patients without stroke, evaluating modified Rankin scale at 90 days.
Time frame: 3 months
