| Bioactivity | Leteprinim potassium (AIT-082) is a hypoxanthine derivative neurotrophic agent. Leteprinim potassium can induce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA production following spinal cord lesions, and nerve growth factor (NGF) mRNA production in basal forebrain. Leteprinim potassium reduces glutamate toxicity in cultured hippocampal neurons. Leteprinim potassium increases heme-oxygenase 1 and 2 mRNA levels that play role in cellular defense against reactive oxygen species. Leteprinim potassium has neuroprotective activity[1]. |
| In Vivo | Leteprinim potassium (60 mg/kg; IP; single dosage) significantly reduced the number of apoptotic neurons in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury rat pups[1]. Animal Model: |
