Neuroprotective agent 12

Neuroprotective agent 12 is an orally active compound capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, offering significant neuroprotective properties. It exhibits robust antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, markedly inhibiting cell death induced by glutamate and acrolein. This agent reduces the expression of PDE4B while elevating levels of HO-1, p-CREB, and BDNF. In a traumatic brain injury (TBI) mouse model, Neuroprotective agent 12 demonstrates potent neuroprotection and holds potential for research into TBI and other central nervous system disorders.
