KIT-13
KIT-13 is an orally active plasmalogen derivative to inhibit neuroinflammation and mitochondrial DNA leakage associated with Mecp2 deficiency. KIT-13 significantly reduce neurological symptoms and improves the life span of the Rett Syndrome (RTT) model mice. KIT-13 can be used for the study of RTT and other neuroinflammation-related diseases.

Biological Activity
KIT-13 (5-10 g/mL, 48 h, BV2 cells) ameliorates mitochondrial functional deficits induced by Mecp2 gene deletion and mitochondrial membrane potential in Mecp2-KD BV2 cells is restored by treatment with PK11195 (HY-19567) [1].

Animal Model:Mecp2-KO in C57BL/6 mice (4 weeks)
-
Dosage:20 μg/kg
-
Administration:Daily oral administration 6 weeks
-
Result:Improved the survival of Mecp2-KO mice and reduced the RTT neurological symptom score including improvement of the general condition of the Mecp2-KO mice more effectively compared with Plasmaloge, KIT-08, KIT19 or KIT20.
Reduced the soma size and increased the dendrite length in the Mecp2-KO mice, partially restoring a healthy phenotype.
