TAU-IN-3

TAU-IN-3 (Compound 2) is an orally active TAU inhibitor. TAU-IN-3 inhibits the expression of MAPT exon 10 DDPAC mutant gene in HeLa cells (IC50: 0.6 µM) . TAU-IN-3 reduces the 4R/3R MAPT mRNA ratio in HeLa cells transfected with WT or DDPAC minigenes. TAU-IN-3 inhibits the insertion of endogenous MAPT exon 10 and the production of 4R tau protein in cells. TAU-IN-3 modulates tau splicing in htau mice and improves the associated behavioral phenotypes. TAU-IN-3 can be used to study neurodegenerative diseases[1].
