Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Arimoclomol, also known as BRX-220, is a heat shock protein amplifier, and is potentially useful for the treatment of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C). Arimoclomol is believed to function by stimulating a normal cellular protein repair pathway through the activation of molecular chaperones. Arimoclomol could treat a broad range of diseases. Arimoclomol activates the heat shock response. It is believed to act at Hsp70.

Biological target:
Arimoclomol maleate (BRX-220) is a co-inducer of heat shock proteins (HSP).
In vitro activity:
Arimoclomol is a co-inducer of the heat shock response, which includes the amplification of HSP70 chaperones. Whether arimoclomol amplifies and prolongs the expression of HSP70 encoded by HSPA1A was tested in primary L444P/L444P GD (Gaucher Disease) cells. Doses of arimoclomol of 100–400 μM increased the expression of HSPA1A suggesting a relatively high stress-threshold in the fibroblasts under standard cell culture conditions (Supplementary Fig. 1a). In addition, a time-dependent increase of HSPA1A and HSPA5 was seen by treatment with 400 μM arimoclomol (Supplementary Fig. 1a–b). The folding and ER-to-golgi transition of mutant GCase variants with or without arimoclomol treatment was also investigated. Arimoclomol dose-dependently increased the amount of GCase in primary GD fibroblasts across all tested genotypes, including neuronopathic and non-neuronopathic associated mutations (Fig. 1d–e).

In vivo activity:
The effect of BRX-220, a co-inducer of heat shock proteins, in injury-induced peripheral neuropathy was examined. Following sciatic nerve injury in adult rats and treatment with BRX-220, the following features of the sensory system were studied: (a) expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP); (b) binding of isolectin B4 (IB4) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord; (c) stimulation-evoked release of substance P (SP) in an in vitro spinal cord preparation and (d) nociceptive responses of partially denervated rats. BRX-220 partially reversed axotomy-induced changes in the sensory system. In vehicle-treated rats there was a decrease in IB4 binding and CGRP expression in injured neurones, while in BRX-220-treated rats these markers were better preserved. Thus, 7.0 +/- 0.6% of injured DRG neurones bound IB4 in vehicle-treated rats compared to 14.4 +/- 0.9% in BRX-220-treated animals. Similarly, 4.5 +/- 0.5% of DRG neurones expressed CGRP in the vehicle-treated group, whereas 9.0 +/- 0.3% were positive in the BRX-220-treated group. BRX-220 also partially restored SP release from spinal cord sections to electrical stimulation of primary sensory neurones.
