IGF-1R Activator

Secretoneurin, rat is a 33-amino acid neuropeptide produced by proteolytic processing of chromogranin II, widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and its release is calcium-dependent. Secretoneurin, rat modulates the activities of caspase-3, caspase-1, the NLRP3 inflammasome, IGF-1R, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, FGFR3, AMPK, ERK1/2/MAPK, and Jak2/Stat3 pathways. Secretoneurin, rat regulates neuronal apoptosis, synaptic structure, inflammation, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, dopamine release, and cell migration and proliferation. Secretoneurin, rat is used in studies of global cerebral ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiac hypertrophy.

BN201 promotes neuronal differentiation, the differentiation of precursor cells to mature oligodendrocytes (EC₅₀ of 6.3 μM) in vitro, and the myelination of new axons (EC₅₀ of 16.6 μM). BN201 is able to cross the blood-brain barrier by active transport and activate pathways (IGF-1 pathway) associated with the response to stress and neuron survival. BN201 has potently neuroprotective effects.
