Bioactivity | Arimoclomol citrate (BRX-220 citrate) is a co-inducer of heat shock proteins (HSP)[1]. Arimoclomol citrate protects motor neurons by enhancing Hsp expression, thus directly affecting protein aggregation and clearance of misfolded assemblies via the proteasome-ubiquitin system[2]. |
In Vivo | Arimoclomol (BRX-220; 20 mg/kg; orally administered for 5 d) has a protective effect against cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK)-induced acute pancreatitis[1]. Animal Model: |
