Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | PRE-084 (0.1-100 µM; 24 hours) lowers the levels of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax at 10 µM and shields cultured cortical neurons from beta-amyloid damage (maximum neuroprotection at 10 µM) [1]. |
| ln Vivo | PRE-084 (0.25 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times per week for 8 weeks) exhibited favorable effects on locomotor performance (increased motor neuron survival, decreased paw abnormalities, and grip strength performance) in wobbler mice, and Shows neuroprotective properties (increased BDNF levels in gray matter) [2]. PRE-084 (1 mg/kg; i.p.; single dosage) protects the heart via activating the Akt-eNOS pathway in a myocardial infarction model [3]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Types: Cortical cells (βAP(25-35) induced neurotoxicity model) Tested Concentrations: 0.1-100 µM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: diminished neuronal toxicity in a bell-shaped manner and at 10 µM . Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: Cortical cells (βAP(25-35)-induced neurotoxicity model) Tested Concentrations: 10 µM Incubation Duration: 24 h Experimental Results: βAP(25--induced pro-apoptotic protein Bax in cortical neurons Level diminished by 35). |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Wobbler mouse (4 weeks old) [2]. Doses: 0.25 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Experimental Results: Paw abnormalities were Dramatically improved from week 4 onwards, and paw grip strength was Dramatically improved by week 5. The number of reactive astrocytes diminished, while the number of panmacrophage markers CD68-positive cells and CD206+ cells involved in tissue repair increased. The average number of large-sized NISSL-positive motor neurons increased by 26.5%. Animal/Disease Models: Adult male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rat (220-250 g; myocardial infarction model) [3]. Doses: 1 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; single. Experimental Results: The degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis was Dramatically diminished. Resulting in a significant increase in p-Akt and p-eNOS expression. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.
