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...

Cofilin inhibitor for the treatment of hemorrhagic brain injury-induced inflammation

Project ID D2019-35 Background Cofilin regulates actin filament assembly and organization in most cells, including during macrophage, T-cell, and dendritic activation and migration. Over-activation of cofilin can lead to microglia inflammation in the brain. Although Cofilin has been shown to be involved in the secondary injury of intracerebral hemorrhage...

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...
