MedKoo CAT#: 510282

CAS#: 301353-96-8

Description: P7C3 is a proneurogenic, neuroprotective agent. P7C3 protects newborn neurons from apoptotic cell death, and promotes neurogenesis in mice and rats in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, the site of normal neurogenesis in adult mammals. P7C3 is orally available, nontoxic, stable in mice, rats, and cell culture, and capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier.

Product Data:
Biological target: P7C3 is an orally bioavailable and blood-brain barrier penetrant aminopropyl carbazole, with neuroprotective effects.
In vitro activity: This study showed that P7C3 specially suppressed the expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory factors but not influenced the anti-inflammatory factors in microglia. The inhibition of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway was involved in the mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effects by P7C3. LPS-induced activation of IκB kinase (IKK), degradation of the inhibitory κB alpha (IκBα) and nuclear translocation of NF-κB can be attenuated by the pretreatment of P7C3 in microglia. Furthermore, in LPS-treated microglia, P7C3-pretreatment decreased the toxicity of conditioned media to MES23.5 cells (a dopaminergic (DA) cell line).

In vivo activity: In vivo studies gave evidence that P7C3 exerts its proneurogenic activity by protecting newborn neurons from apoptosis. Mice missing the gene encoding neuronal PAS domain protein 3 (NPAS3) are devoid of hippocampal neurogenesis and display malformation and electrophysiological dysfunction of the dentate gyrus. Prolonged administration of P7C3 to npas3(-/-) mice corrected these deficits by normalizing levels of apoptosis of newborn hippocampal neurons. Prolonged administration of P7C3 to aged rats also enhanced neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, impeded neuron death, and preserved cognitive capacity as a function of terminal aging.
