Crisdesalazine (AAD-2004) is a microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) inhibitor. Crisdesalazine acts as a potent free radical scavenger that directly neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide, exerting neuroprotective effects against apoptosis and axonal damage. Crisdesalazine inhibits PGE2 production, mediates inflammatory responses, and promotes the conversion of macrophages from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Crisdesalazine is applicable to neuroprotection research in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury.

Description

Crisdesalazine (AAD-2004) is a microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) inhibitor. Crisdesalazine acts as a potent free radical scavenger that directly neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide, exerting neuroprotective effects against apoptosis and axonal damage. Crisdesalazine inhibits PGE2 production, mediates inflammatory responses, and promotes the conversion of macrophages from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Crisdesalazine is applicable to neuroprotection research in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury[1][2].

In Vitro

Crisdesalazine (0.2-50 μM; 24 h) is non-cytotoxic to murine RAW 264.7 macrophages at concentrations up to 50 μM and to human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells at concentrations up to 10 μM, with reduced viability only at 50 μM in SH-SY5Y cells[1].
Crisdesalazine (0.2-5 μM; 24 h post-LPS stimulation) promotes the transition of LPS-stimulated murine RAW 264.7 macrophages from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype by reducing pro-inflammatory marker and cytokine expression and increasing anti-inflammatory marker expression[1].
Crisdesalazine (0.2-5 μM; 24 h during co-culture) reduces neuroinflammation and neuronal necrosis in human SH-SY5Y cells co-cultured with LPS-stimulated murine RAW 264.7 macrophages by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and decreasing necrotic cell populations[1].
Crisdesalazine (1 mM) reduces H2O2 levels in primary mouse spinal cord astrocytes, attenuates astrocytic reactivity, and exerts neuroprotective effects against apoptosis and axonal injury in primary mouse cortical neurons co-cultured with OGD/R-challenged astrocytes[2].

In Vivo

Crisdesalazine (3.3 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) significantly alleviates clinical symptoms, reduces inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination, shifts microglia/macrophage polarization toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, and expands Treg populations in a mouse EAE model of multiple sclerosis[1].
Crisdesalazine (3.3 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 14 days) reduces spinal cord H2O2 levels, inhibits glial scar formation and astrocyte proliferation, promotes neuronal and axonal regeneration, and improves motor function in a mouse model of spinal cord injury[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
