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
GABA receptor [1]
In vitro
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 vivo In experimental models homotaurine administration induced inhibition of Aβ fibrils formation, reduction of the brain pathologic burden, and formation of physiological LTP[1].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
