Biological Activity
| Description | Homotaurine (Tramiprosate, Alzhemed, 3-Amino-1-propanesulfonic acid) is a synthetic organic compound that has GABAergic activity by mimicking GABA. It is a GABAA partial agonist as well as a GABAB receptor partial agonist with low efficacy. | |

| Targets |
|
|
| In vitro | Homotaurine is a small aminosulfonate compound naturally found in seaweeds. It is a compound with features typical of glycosaminoglycanes (GAGs). Homotaurine has been shown to be able to counteract Aβ fibrillogenesis reducing the toxic effects on neurons. Besides the anti-amyloid action, homotaurine has direct effects also on neuronal activity as a modulator of excitatory neurotransmission, due to its binding affinity for GABAA receptors (GABAARs)[1]. | |
| In vivo | In experimental models homotaurine administration induced inhibition of Aβ fibrils formation, reduction of the brain pathologic burden, and formation of physiological LTP[1]. |
