P7C3

• Background:

  P7C3 exerts proneurogenic activity by protecting newborn neurons from apoptosis. Prolonged administration to aged rats impedes neuronal death and preserves cognitive capacity (1). Delays disease progression in G93A-SOD2 mutant mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (2). Blocks MPTP-mediated cell death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of adult mice, a model of Parkinson's disease (3). Restores hippocampal neurogenesis in a mouse model of Down Syndrome (4). The mechanism of action involves activation of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) with concomitant increase of intracellular levels of NAD (5). Active in vivo.
