| Bioactivity | PBT 1033 (PBT 2) is an orally active copper/zinc ionophore. PBT 1033 restores cognition in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). PB 1033 also has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | PB 1033 displays antibacterial activity against S. uberis, with a MIC value of 14.5 μM[2].PBT2 (1, 3 and 7.5 μM, 6 h) protects neurons against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity[3].PBT2 (10 μM, 1 or 6 h) reduces NMDAR-mediated Ca2+ flux in mouse cortical neurons[3].PBT2 (0-10 μM, 1 h) increases GSK3α/β phosphorylation in SH-SY5Y cells[4].PBT2 (20 μM, 1 h) prevents the formation of Zn-induced protease resistant Aβ aggregates[5].
