TPT-260 Dihydrochloride
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
TPT-260 Dihydrochloride (NSC55712), a thiophene thiourea derivative, is a retromer complex stabilizer against thermal denaturation (Kd = ~5 µM). TPT-260 Dihydrochloride increases the levels of retromer proteins, shifts amyloid-precursor protein (APP) away from the endosome, and decreases the pathogenic processing of APP. TPT-260 Dihydrochloride inhibits TLR4 upregulation, IKKβ phosphorylation, NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, and NLRP3 inflammasome formation. TPT-260 Dihydrochloride improves retromer-mediated cargo trafficking, reduces brain infarct area, and decreases amyloid plaque deposition. TPT-260 Dihydrochloride exhibits minimal cytotoxicity to primary microglia at tested concentrations. TPT-260 Dihydrochloride can be used for the research of inflammatory bowel disease, ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's disease.
