Scyllo-Inositol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Scyllo-Inositol is an inhibitor that targets the aggregation of misfolded proteins (such as α-synuclein and Amyloid-β), is orally effective, and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Scyllo-Inositol can selectively bind to and stabilize non-toxic oligomers, preventing them from converting into toxic fibers, exerting protein homeostasis regulation and neuroprotective activity. Scyllo-Inositol binds to the hydrophobic region of pathogenic proteins, inhibits protein aggregation, and promotes lysosome- and proteasome-mediated degradation pathways, thereby reducing neurotoxicity. Scyllo-Inositol can be used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease.

Biological Activity
|
Human Endogenous Metabolite |
Scyllo-Inositol (1:1 (w/v%) mixture; 1-21 d) inhibits fibril formation of human and mouse α-synuclein and was more potent than chiro-inositol (HY-N3021)[1].
Scyllo-Inositol (1-100 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently reduces polyQ-Htt protein levels and misfolded protein aggregates in PC12 cells. Scyllo-Inositol also activates the proteasome and lysosomal degradation pathways without affecting the levels of autophagy markers (LC3, p62)[2].
