Biological Activity

Description MPP+ iodide (N-Methyl-4-Phenylpyridinium Iodide), the metabolite of a neurotoxin MPTP, causes symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) in animal models by selectively destroying dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. MPP+ induces autophagic cell death in SH-SY5Y cells. MPP+ induces dopamine transporter (DAT) externalization in dopaminergic (DA) neurons, but internalization of serotonin transporter (SERT) in serotonergic (5-HT) neurons.
Targets
DAT [1] SERT [1]
In vitro

Vacuolin-1 potently and reversibly inhibits the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes in mammalian cells, thereby inducing the accumulation of autophagosomes. Vacuolin-1 activates RAB5A to block autophagosome-lysosome fusion. [1]
In vivo

MPP+ iodide decreases mitochondrial oxidation-reduction activity and membrane potential in rat striatum.
