biological activity | ALLM (Calpain inhibitor II) is a potent inhibitor of calpain (calpain) and cathepsin (cathepsin). ALLM inhibits neuronal death and improves chronic neurological function after spinal cord injury (SCI). |
in vivo study | ALLM (Calpain inhibitor II) (0.5 mg/kg) is injected every 24 h for 5 days after SCI and inhibits the activation of calpain but not that of caspase 3. ALLM prevents this neuronal cell death. ALLM (0.05-2.5 mg/kg; I. p.; every 24 h for 1 week) reduces motor disturbances after spinal cord injury (SCI). Animal Model: Adult Male Wistar Rats (280-300g) (spinal cord injury model) Dosage: 0.05, 0.5, and 2.5 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneally; Every 24 h for 1 week Result: showed significantly better motor function. |
