Afegostat is a pharmacological chaperone, which specifically and reversibly binds acid-β-glucosidase (GCase) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with high affinity.
Afegostat (AT2101) increases GCase activity in brain, liver, and spleen. Afegostat (100 mg/kg) administrates orally for 4 months to Thy1-aSyn mice improved motor and nonmotor function, abolishes microglial inflammatory response in the substantia nigra, reduces α-synuclein immunoreactivity in nigral dopaminergic neurons, and reduces the number of small α-synuclein aggregates, while increasing the number of large α-synuclein aggregates[1].
GCase[1] In Vivo Afegostat (AT2101) increases GCase activity in brain, liver, and spleen. Afegostat (100 mg/kg) administrates orally for 4 months to Thy1-aSyn mice improved motor and nonmotor function, abolishes microglial inflammatory response in the substantia nigra, reduces α-synuclein immunoreactivity in nigral dopaminergic neurons, and reduces the number of small α-synuclein aggregates, while increasing the number of large α-synuclein aggregates[1]. MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
