J147 is a potent and orally active neurotrophic molecule discovered based upon efficacy in multiple cellular models of age-associated pathologies rather than exclusively amyloid metabolism. J147 is broadly neuroprotective, and active in six different assays that represent distinct neurotoxicity pathways related to aging and neurodegenerative diseases, with EC₅₀ between 10 and 200 nM. It can also improve memory in normal rodents, and prevent the loss of synaptic proteins and cognitive decline in a transgenic AD mouse model.

How to Use: 

• In vitro:  J147 was used at 1 µM in vitro and in cellular assays.
• In vivo: J147 was orally dosed to mice at 1-5 mg/kg once per day. Or the transgenic mice were fed with J147 in their chow at 200 ppm starting at 4 months of age.
