A cell-permeable phenylsulfonamide compound that reversibly binds to pocket I of the monomeric α-synuclein (α-syn) and reverses α-syn-induced impairment of phagocytosis in H4 neuroglioma cells over-expressing wild-type α-syn and microglia isolated from α-syn BAC transgenic animals over-expressing the E46K mutant form of human α-syn (~1-10 µM). Reduces α-syn-mediated impairment of vesicular dynamics and diminishes α-syn translocation to the synaptic region in rat primary neuronal cultures by 50% (at ~ 1 µM) and in cortical cultures in transgenic mice over-expressing human α-syn. Also shown to protect dopaminergic neurons against the toxic effects of over-expressed α-syn A53T and reduces neurite retraction in TH- and MAP2-positive neurons.
Please note that the molecular weight for this compound is batch-specific due to variable water content.
