Description

General description

A brain penetrating azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivative with anti-cholinergic and anti-histaminergic properties. Acts as an antagonist of muscarinic M1 and M3 receptors induces robust differentiation of oligodendrocytes precursor cell differentiation (OPC; EC₅₀ = 500 nM) and promotes myelination. Reduces the expression of Notch 1 in immature OPC and reduces the levels of cyclin D1 and D2 and c-Fos and c-Jun indicating its inhibitory effect on cell cycle progression. Shown to reduce the severity of the acute phase of multiple sclerosis and virtually eliminates the relapse phase in animal models. Significantly reduces the severity in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis when administered alone or co-administered with FTY720 (Cat. No. 344597).
