OX-201
OX-201 is a selective agonist for OX2R with an EC50 of 8 nM. Pathological proteins produced by neurons are released into the interstitial fluid (ISF) in a manner dependent on neuronal activity and are cleared from the brain via lymphatic pathways. The outflow of pathological proteins to the ISF is related to the arousal state of neurons. OX-201 can induce neuronal awakening and promote the release of tau into the hippocampal ISF. Although OX-201 does not alter hippocampal tau levels, it has potential applications for Alzheimer's disease (AD) associated with sleep/wake rhythm disturbances[1].
