Description:

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

Soticlestat, also known as TAK 935 and OV935, is a potent, highly selective, first-in-class inhibitor of the enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H), with the potential to reduce seizure susceptibility and improve seizure control. Soticlestat modifies acute seizure burden and chronic epilepsy-related behavioral deficits following Theiler's virus infection in mice. Soticlestat treatment reduced seizure burden, protected against hyperthermia-induced seizures, and completely prevented SUDEP in Scn1a+/- mice.

More Info
CH24H is predominantly expressed in the brain, where it converts cholesterol into 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24HC) to adjust the homeostatic balance of brain cholesterol. 24HC is a positive allosteric modulator of the NMDA receptor and modulates glutamatergic signaling associated with epilepsy. Glutamate is one of the main neurotransmitters in the brain and has been shown to play a role in the initiation and spread of seizure activity. Recent literature indicates that CH24H is involved in over-activation of the glutamatergic pathway through modulation of the NMDA channel and that increased expression of CH24H can disrupt the reuptake of glutamate by astrocytes, resulting in epileptogenesis and neurotoxicity. Inhibition of CH24H by soticlestat reduces the neuronal levels of 24HC and may improve excitatory/inhibitory balance of NMDA channel activit
Product Data
Biological target:
Soticlestat is a CH24H inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
To be determined
In vivo activity:
Soticlestat may have therapeutic potential for epilepsy treatment. In a murine model of epilepsy, soticlestat delayed the onset of epilepsy and decreased the number of ensuing seizures by about 3-fold compared to vehicle-treated mice. Soticlestat reduced significantly the number of spontaneous seizures in chronic epileptic mice when was administered during established epilepsy. Soticlestat-treated mice showed neuroprotection of hippocampal CA1 neurons and hilar mossy cells. Reference: Neurobiol Dis. 2022 Oct 15;173:105835. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35932989/
