Product Data
Biological target:
Brazilin inhibits the cells proliferation, promotes apoptosis, and induces autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR pathway.
In vitro activity:
Brazilin treatment prevented the induction of ThT positive aggregates. Control brain homogenates from control corticobasal degeneration (CBD) patients did not induce ThT fluorescence. Imaging by TEM confirmed that Brazilin treatment prevented the formation of fibrillar α-syn aggregates in RT-QuIC (Figure 7b). Reference: J Mol Biol. 2021 Apr 16; 433(8): 166878. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7610480/
In vivo activity:
In OFT, CMS mice spent less time in the central zone (F1,19 = 13.296, p < 0.005, Fig. 4B) compared with naïve mice. The brazilin (3 mg/kg) treatment increased the time spent in the central zone in the OFT (F3,35 = 2.052, p < 0.05, Fig. 4B) compared to the mice in CMS + VEH group.
