Notes: PTIQ is a neuroprotective compound.{60561} It inhibits tetrahydro-L-biopterin-induced cytotoxicity and increases in matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) levels in CATH.a cells (IC50s = 1.8 and 0.06 µM, respectively). PTIQ inhibits LPS-induced production of MMP-3, TNF-α, and COX-2 in BV-2 microglia (IC50s = 2.4, 6.5, and 9.3 µM, respectively). In vivo, PTIQ (3 and 30 mg/kg) increases survival of striatal nigral dopaminergic neurons, reduces microglial activation, and alleviates motor deficits in a mouse model of MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease.
