Application

P7C3 is an aminopropyl carbazole agent with proneurogenic and neuroprotective properties in newborn neural precursor cells of the dentate gyrus. Its analogs may be used in neurodegenerative disease research to study the process of neurogenesis in brain regions such as the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. P7C3 and its analogs may be used to study its pharmacokinetics, metabolism, safety, efficacy and methods of delivery as potential drug for the treatment of condition such as Alzheimer′s disease, Parkinson′s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and traumatic brain injury.

Biochem/physiol Actions

P7C3 is neurogenic and protects new neurons against apoptosis. These activities may be related to its capacity to protect mitochondrial integrity.

Degeneration of the hippocampus is an early manifestation of Alzheimer′s disease. P7C3 promotes neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, the site of normal neurogenesis in adult mammals, making it an important lead compound in development of new Alzheimer′s treatments.

We previously reported the discovery of P7C3, an aminopropyl carbazole having proneurogenic and neuroprotective properties in newborn neural precursor cells of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. We have further found that chemicals having efficacy in this in vivo screening assay also

To determine whether P7C3-A20, a proneurogenic neuroprotective agent, can protect the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) of rats from optic nerve crushing. The left optic nerve of 67 rats was crushed, and 5.0 mg/kg/day of P7C3-A20 (crush-P7C3) or its vehicle (crush-placebo) was

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Although its pathogenesis remains unclear, growing evidencce suggests that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation contributes greatly to the progression of PD. P7C3, an aminopropyl carbazole, possesses significant neuroprotective effects in several neurodegenerative disease

Augmenting hippocampal neurogenesis represents a potential new strategy for treating depression. Here we test this possibility by comparing hippocampal neurogenesis in depression-prone ghrelin receptor (Ghsr)-null mice to that in wild-type littermates and by determining the antidepressant efficacy of the P7C3

An aminopropyl carbazole compound, P7C3, has been shown to be a potent neurogenesis promoting agent; however, its fundamental signaling action has yet to be elucidated. A cerebral ischemic/reperfusional (CI/R) injury model in mice was implemented to elucidate the neuronal protective
