Bioactivity | Azeliragon (TTP488) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in development as a potential treatment to slow disease progression in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD)[1]. Azeliragon also can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB)[2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Azeliragon (4 nM; 16 hours; T cells) treatment inhibits of wild type mice (WT) but not the deletion of the receptor (RAGE-/- mice) T cells and significant reduction in the production of IFN-γ[3]. Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Azeliragon (100 mcg/d; intraperitoneal injection; every day) treatment reduces syngeneic islet graft and islet allograft in NOD and B6 mice (Islets were isolated from young prediabetic NOD/LtJ mice and transplanted into NOD mice with spontaneous diabetes; islets were isolated from WT BALB/c mice and transplanted into B6 mice with diabetes)[3].
