Bioactivity | Neuropathiazol, a neuronal differentiation inducer, selectively induces neuronal differentiation of multipotent hippocampal neural progenitor cells[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Neuropathiazol (5-15 μM; 5 hours) significantly slows cell proliferation without visible cytotoxic effects[1].Neuropathiazol (10 μM; 1-4 days) down-regulates Sox2 (a neural progenitor marker) and up-regulates NeuroD1 (a neuronal cell marker)[1].Neuropathiazol also inhibits astroglial differentiation that is induced by LIF and BMP2[1].Neuropathiazol induces neuronal differentiation of multipotent adult hippocampal neural progenitor cells[1].Neuropathiazol can competitively suppress astrogliogenesis by LIF/BMP2/FBS in a dose-dependent manner[1].
