Scyllo-Inositol

Scyllo-Inositol is an inhibitor that targets the aggregation of misfolded proteins (such as α-synuclein and Amyloid-β), is orally effective, and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Scyllo-Inositol can selectively bind to and stabilize non-toxic oligomers, preventing them from converting into toxic fibers, exerting protein homeostasis regulation and neuroprotective activity. Scyllo-Inositol binds to the hydrophobic region of pathogenic proteins, inhibits protein aggregation, and promotes lysosome- and proteasome-mediated degradation pathways, thereby reducing neurotoxicity. Scyllo-Inositol can be used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease[1][2][3].
