Arimoclomol is an orally available, CNS-penetrant coinducer of heat shock proteins (HSPs), notably HSP70, that exhibits in vivo efficay in disease models of diabetes, Gaucher disease (GD), sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), and neurological disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1). Note: arimoclomol maleate and citrate salt forms are known as BRX-220 and BRX-345, respectively.
Orally available, CNS-penetrant coinducer of heat shock proteins (HSPs), notably HSP70 (HSP72), with in vivo ALS, GD, NPC1, and sIBM therapeutic efficacy.
Nontoxic heat shock protein (HSP) inducer compounds open up promising therapeutic possibilities by activating one of the natural and highly conserved defense mechanisms of the organism. In the present experiments, we examined the effects of a HSP coinducer drug-candidate, BRX-220
Heat shock proteins (hsps) are induced in a variety of cells following periods of stress, where they promote cell survival. In this study, we examined the effect of upregulating hsp expression by treatment with BRX-220, a co-inducer of hsps, on
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative condition in which motoneurons of the spinal cord and motor cortex die, resulting in progressive paralysis. This condition has no cure and results in eventual death, usually within 1-5 years of diagnosis.
In this study, we examined the effect BRX-220, a co-inducer of heat shock proteins, in injury-induced peripheral neuropathy. Following sciatic nerve injury in adult rats and treatment with BRX-220, the following features of the sensory system were studied: (a) expression

Bimoclomol (BML), a symptomatic antidiabetic agent, has been developed by Biorex R & D Co. to treat diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. BRX-220, an orally active member of the BRX family, has been developed to treat diabetic complications and insulin resistance
