Cuprizone (Standard)
Cuprizone (Standard) is the analytical standard of Cuprizone (HY-W115718). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Cuprizone is a copper-chelating agent that induces selective mature oligodendrocyte apoptosis and robust demyelination in C57BL/6 mouse brain, widely used as a toxic animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS) for studying de-and remyelination mechanisms.
