Benserazide
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Benserazide is an aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) and L-DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor. Benserazide is also a PKM2 inhibitor. Benserazide directly binds to and blocks PKM2 enzyme activity, leading to inhibition of aerobic glycolysis concurrent up-regulation of OXPHOS. Benserazide can be used for the study of Parkinson's disease and melanoma.

Biological Activity
Benserazide and Levodopa (LD) individually and in combination (Benserazide + LD) (25 μM; 0 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours and 168 hours; SH-SY5Y) treatment inhibit protein aggregation and have the ability to minimise the amyloid-induced cytotoxicity in human neuroblastoma cell line. Benserazide and LD both can act as efficient inhibitors of the formation of cytotoxic HSA aggregates, and the inhibitory effects are more pronounced when both of these drugs are added simultaneously[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:SH-SY5Y cells
-
Concentration:25 μM
-
Incubation Time:0 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours and 168 hours
-

Dosage:5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg (Pharmacokinetic study)
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection
-
Result:Increased in exogenous L-DOPA-derived extracellular DA levels, the time to reach the peak DA levels were significantly prolonged in a dose-dependent fashion. The AADC activity in the denervated striatal tissues showed a significant decreased by 10 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg.
