Furoxans as Novel Therapeutics for Neurodegenerative Disorders
Project ID: D2017-15 Background Nitric oxide (NO) signaling plays a major role in brain activity and normal function of neurons. Disrupted NO signaling is implicated in several central nervous system (CNS) and neurodegenerative disorders. NO mimetic, such as nitrates, have been used against a variety of neurological disorders. This is due to the...
Novel Isoselenazolone Derivatives Show Effectiveness Against Multiple Human Disease-causing Pathogens
Project ID: D2015-17Invention Description:Neurodegenerative, inflammatory and other physiological diseases are linked to the activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione peroxidase is a Selenium-based enzyme that has been shown to protect biomembranes and other cellular components from damage caused by ROS, by scavenging hydrogen peroxide...
