Methods and compositions containing a phorbol ester or a derivative of a phorbol ester are provided for the treatment and prevention of stroke and the sequelae of stroke. Additional compositions and methods are provided which employ a phorbol ester or derivative compound in combination with at least one additional agent to yield more effective treatment tools to treat or prevent stroke and the long term effects of stroke in mammalian subjects.

Provided is a method for the alcoholysis of an amide. The method comprises subjecting an amide-containing compound to alcoholysis under alkaline conditions using an epoxy compound as an accelerant of alcoholysis, the method comprising: mixing the amide-containing compound, the epoxy compound, a pH adjuster and a solvent to form an alkaline reaction system, the pH of the alkaline reaction system being 7.5-9.5; reacting the alkaline reaction system at 50 C. 150 C. to subject the amide-containing compound to alcoholysis.
