Spinal Cord Injury

MF-DH-300 is a 15-PGDH inhibitor that can be applicable to the research of muscle disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Hydralazine is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable DNA methyltransferase inhibitor with vasodilatory, arterial smooth muscle relaxant and hypotensive activities. Hydralazine reactivates silenced tumor suppressor genes via mediating DNA demethylation, while exerting neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. Hydralazine inhibits NOS-2 (iNOS) and COX-2, and reduces the production of NO and PGE_E2; meanwhile, Hydralazine scavenges reactive oxygen species and inhibits macrophage activation. Hydralazine alleviates motor dysfunction, neuropathic inflammatory pain, and formalin-induced somatic and emotional pain responses. In addition, Hydralazine directly induces DNA strand breaks and sister chromatid exchange, exhibiting certain mutagenic characteristics. Hydralazine has been widely used in studies on hypertension, various cancers (such as cervical cancer, leukemia), spinal cord injury and the mechanisms of inflammatory pain.

BMS-561392 (BMS-561392) is a selective ADAM17(TACE) inhibitor. BMS-561392 inhibits TNF-α secretion by regulating signaling pathways such as p44 MAPK and NF-κB. BMS-561392 also affects the survival of central nervous system-related cells including oligodendrocytes and microglia. BMS-561392 promotes microglial apoptosis, enlarges the injury area and exacerbates astrogliosis in a mouse spinal cord injury model. BMS-561392 can be used in research related to spinal cord injury and inflammatory diseases.
