Increased survival and neuroprotective effects of BN82451 in a transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
There is substantial evidence that excitotoxicity and oxidative damage may contribute to Huntington's disease (HD) pathogenesis. We examined whether the novel anti-oxidant compound BN82451 exerts neuroprotective effects in the R6/2 transgenic mouse model of HD. Oral administration of BN82451 significantly improved motor performance and improved survival by 15%. Oral administration of BN82451 significantly reduced...
