Tocris Bioscience™ LM11A 31 dihydrochloride

Descripción

LM11A 31 dihydrochloride is a nonpeptide p75NTR ligand and nerve growth factor (NGF) antagonist. LM11A 31 blocks p75-mediated cell death, inhibits proNGF induced cell death (IC50 = 1-10 nM), increases proliferation and survival of hippocampal neural progenitors and inhibits Aβ-induced cell death (EC50 = 20 nM). In animal models of Alzheimer's disease LM11A 31 prevents and reverses atrophy of cholinergic neurites and reverses Alzheimer's pathology; in models of Huntington's disease LM11A 31 increases survival, reduces the formation of aggregates of mutant huntingtin and neuronal degeneration. Also promotes functional recovery in a mouse model of spinal cord injury. Orally available and brain penetrant.
