VP3.15 dihydrobromide
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
VP3.15 dihydrobromide is a highly potent, orally bioavailable, and CNS-penetrant PDE7-GSK3 dual inhibitor, with IC50 values of 1.59 μM and 0.88 μM against PDE7 and GSK3, respectively. VP3.15 dihydrobromide elevates intracellular cAMP levels, suppresses immune responses, enhances remyelination, limits excessive tau phosphorylation, and alleviates neuroinflammation and neuronal loss. VP3.15 dihydrobromide promotes oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation, improves in vivo remyelination, inhibits autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and mitigates germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage-related brain injury, cerebral atrophy, ventricular enlargement, and cognitive impairment. VP3.15 dihydrobromide can be used in research related to multiple sclerosis and germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage.

VP3.15 dihydrobromide exhibits an IC50 of 1.59 μM against PDE7 and an IC50 of 0.88 μM against GSK3 in cell-free biochemical assays[1].
VP3.15 dihydrobromide (1 μM; 5-10 DIV (in vitro culture days)) enhances the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) from P0 CD1 mice into CNPase+-Olig2+ and MBP+-Olig2+ mature oligodendrocytes, without altering the morphology of oligodendrocytes[1].
VP3.15 dihydrobromide (1 μM; 5 DIV) significantly promotes the differentiation of adult oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into CNPase+ mature oligodendrocytes at 5 DIV without altering the morphology of oligodendrocytes[1].
VP3.15 dihydrobromide (5 μM; 1-3 DPL (days post-lesion)) significantly enhances remyelination at 3 DPL in demyelinated cerebellar slices from P7 CD1 mice induced by Lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) (HY-139414), whereas no effect is observed at 1 DPL[1].

Result:Improved learning in the Morris Water Maze (MWM) acquisition phase, restored time spent and number of entries in the target quadrant during 24-hour and 72-hour MWM retention tests, and normalized performance in the "where" paradigm of the New Object Discrimination test, compared to untreated GM-IVH mice.
Significantly reduced hemorrhage burden in the cortex at P14 and completely reversed cortical hemorrhage burden to control levels at P110; reduced hemorrhage burden in the hippocampus and striatum at P14, with a non-significant trend toward reduction at P110.
Reduced Iba1+ microglial burden to control levels in the cortex, hippocampus, and subventricular zone (SVZ) at P14; limited microglial burden increases in these regions at P110 compared to untreated GM-IVH mice.
Ameliorated reductions in brain weight at P14 and P110; significantly improved hemisection size at P110, normalized cortical size reductions at P14 and P110, and reduced ventricle enlargement at both time points compared to untreated GM-IVH mice.
Restored NeuN/DAPI ratios (neuronal density) in the cortex and SVZ at P14, and in the hippocampus at P110; reduced tau hyperphosphorylation (p-tau/total tau ratio) in the cortex at P110 to match control levels; restored myelin basic protein (MBP) levels in the cortex at P14.
Increased BrdU+ cell counts (proliferation), DCX+ area (neurogenesis), and BrdU/DCX ratio in the SVZ at P14; restored BrdU+ cell counts, DCX+ cell counts, and BrdU/DCX ratio in the dentate gyrus (DG) at P110, and normalized DCX+ cell counts in the DG at P14 compared to untreated GM-IVH mice.
