Recent developments in the molecular biology and pharmacology of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxa-zole-4-propionic acid (AMPA)-subtype of glutamate receptors have led to the discovery of selective, potent and systemically active AMPA receptor potentiators. These molecules enhance synaptic transmission and play important roles in plasticity and cognitive processes. In the present studies we characterized a novel AMPA receptor potentiator, LY503430, on recombinant human GLU<sub>A1-4</sub> and native preparations <i>in vitro</i>, and then evaluated the potential neuroprotective effects of the molecule in rodent models of Parkinson's disease. Results indicated that at submicromolar concentrations LY503430 selectively enhanced glutamate-induced calcium influx into HEK293 cells transfected with human GLU<sub>A1</sub>, GLU<sub>A2</sub>, GLU<sub>A3</sub>, or GLU<sub>A4</sub> AMPA receptors. The molecule also potentiated AMPA-mediated responses in native cortical, hippocampal and substantia nigra neurones. LY503430 had good oral bioavailability in both rats and dogs. We also report here that LY503430 provided dose-dependent functional and histological protection in animal models of Parkinson's disease. The neurotoxicity following unilateral infusion of 6-hyrdoxydopamine (6-OHDA) into either the substantia nigra or the striatum of rats and that following systemic 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in mice were reduced. Interestingly, LY503430 also had neurotrophic actions on functional and histological outcomes when treatment was delayed until well after (6 or 14 days) the lesion was established. LY503430 also produced some increase in brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the substantia nigra and a dose-dependent increase in growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) expression in the striatum. Therefore, we propose that AMPA receptor potentiators such as LY503430 offer the potential of a new disease modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":94307,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"11 1","pages":"77-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1527-3458.2005.tb00037.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25262581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 1968, several pairs of the AKR/J strain of mice were donated by the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) to the Department of Pathology (currently the Department of Senescence Biology), Chest Disease Research Institute (currently Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences), Kyoto University, Japan. While continuing sister-brother mating to maintain the inbred strain, researchers were aware that in certain litters most of the mice showed a moderate-to-severe degree of loss of activity, hair loss, lack of glossiness, skin coarseness, periophthalmic lesions, increased lordokyphosis, and early death. In 1975, five litters of mice with severe exhaustion were selected as the progenitors of the senescence-prone series (P series). Litters in which the aging process was normal were selected as progenitors of the senescence-resistant series (R series). Thereafter, selective breeding was based on the data of the grading score of senescence (16), life span, and pathogenic phenotypes in addition to the routine sister-brother mating (56,57,59). SAM consists of senescence-accelerated-prone mouse (SAMP) and senescence-accelerated-resistant mouse (SAMR), the latter of which shows normal aging characteristics. At present, there are 12 lines of SAM: nine SAMP substrains, including SAMP1, SAMP2, SAMP3, SAMP6, SAMP7, SAMP8, SAMP9, SAMP10, and SAMP11; and three SAMR substrains, including SAMR1, SAMR4, and SAMR5 (56). SAM strains manifest various phenotypes that are characteristic enough to differentiate the SAM strains (Table 1): senile amyloidosis in SAMP1, SAMP2, SAMP10, and SAMP11 (14,15,60); impaired immune response in SAMP1, SAMP2 (18,19), and SAMP8 (1); contracted kidney in SAMP1,","PeriodicalId":94307,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"4 4","pages":"361-375"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1527-3458.1998.tb00076.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35217600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reviews the preclinical data for enoxaparin in <i>in vivo</i> models of ischemia and brain trauma in rats. Following a photothrombotic lesion in the rat, enoxaparin significantly reduced edema at 24 h after lesion when the treatment was started up to 18 h after insult. Enoxaparin was also tested after an ischemic insult using the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model in the rat. Enoxaparin, 2 × 1.5 mg/kg i.v., significantly reduced the lesion size and improved the neuroscore when the treatment was started up to 5 h after ischemia. Enoxaparin, administered at 5h after insult, reduced cortical lesion size in a dose-dependent manner. In permanent MCAO, enoxaparin (5 and 24 h after insult) significantly reduced lesion size and improved neuroscore. A slight and reversible elevation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) suggests that enoxaparin is neuroprotective at a non-hemorrhagic dose. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often accompanied by secondary ischemia due in part to edema-induced compression of blood vessels. When enoxaparin, at 0.5 mg/kg i.v. + 4 × 1 mg/kg s.c., was administered later than 30h after TBI, it significantly reduced edema in hippocampus and parietal cortex. At one week after TBI the lesion size was significantly reduced and the neurological deficit significantly improved in enoxaparin treated animals. Finally, the cognitive impairment was significantly improved by enoxaparin at 48 h to 2 weeks after TBI. The anticoagulant properties of unfractionated heparin and specifically enoxaparin can explain their anti-ischemic effects in experimental models. Furthermore, unfractionated heparin and specifically enoxaparin, have, in addition to anticoagulant, many other pharmacological effects (i.e. reduction of intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> release; antioxidant effect; anti-inflammatory or neurotrophic effects) that could act in synergy to explain the neuroprotective activity of enoxaparin in acute neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we demonstrated, that in different <i>in vivo</i> models of acute neurodegenerative diseases, enoxaparin reduces brain edema and lesion size and improves motor and cognitive functional recovery with a large therapeutic window of opportunity (compatible with a clinical application). Taking into account these experimental data in models of ischemia and brain trauma, the clinical use of enoxaparin in acute neurodegenerative diseases warrants serious consideration.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":94307,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1527-3458.2002.tb00213.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80496877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
