Biochem/physiol Actions

Tat-NR2B9c (NA-1) is a 20-mer peptide composed of a membrane-permeant HIV-1 Tat protein transduction domain sequence (a.a. 47-57) N-terminal to the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) GluN2B carboxyl tail sequence KLSSIESDV that blocks intracellular NMDAR-PSD-95 interaction-induced neurotoxic signaling without affecting NMDAR-mediated synaptic activity or calcium influx. NA-1 protects cultured cortical neurons from NMDA excitotoxicity (50 nM; 20/40/100 μM NMDA) and reduces focal ischemic brain damage in rats in vivo (3 μmol/kg iv. bolus 1 hr post MCAO onset).

Since the most significant ischemic sequelae occur within hours of stroke, it is necessary to understand how neuronal function changes during this time. While histologic and behavioral models show the extent of stroke-related damage, only in vivo recordings can illustrate

The Tat-NR2B9c peptide has shown clinical efficacy as a neuroprotective agent in acute stroke. Tat-NR2B9c is designed to prevent nitric oxide (NO) production by preventing postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) binding to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and neuronal nitric oxide synthase;

We have previously reported that cationic poly-arginine and arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides display high-level neuroprotection and reduce calcium influx following in vitro excitotoxicity, as well as reduce brain injury in animal stroke models. Using the neuroprotective peptides poly-arginine R12 (R12) and

Following positive results with the poly-arginine peptide R18 when administered intravenously 30 or 60min after permanent and/or transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO; 90min) in the rat, we examined the effectiveness of the peptide when administered 2h after MCAO. R18

Antiepileptogenic agents that prevent the development of epilepsy following a brain insult remain the holy grail of epilepsy therapeutics. We have employed a label-free proteomic approach that allows quantification of large numbers of brain-expressed proteins in a single analysis in
