NSP-116
NSP-116 is an orally active antioxidant and neuroprotective agent. NSP-116 protects corneal epithelial cells from UV-A and blue light LED-induced photo-oxidative damage. NSP-116 scavenges DPPH, superoxide anion, and hydroxyl radicals, inhibits light-induced ROS production in photoreceptor cells, and inhibits lipid peroxidation in retinal homogenates. NSP-116 prevents light-induced photoreceptor cell death and retinal degeneration, and inhibits intracellular Fe2+ accumulation, autophagy, apoptosis, p38 phosphorylation, and microglial/macrophage activation. NSP-116 exerts neuroprotective effects in hemorrhagic stroke models. NSP-116 can be used for research on photokeratitis, dry age-related macular degeneration, and intracranial hemorrhage.

-
Animal Model:ddY mice (male, 7 weeks old)[1]
-
Dosage:10 μM
-
Administration:Eye drops; twice daily; 10 days
-
Result:Inhibited the increase of TUNEL-positive cells to 2.5 cells per 1000 μm corneal arc in the whole cornea, compared to the vehicle group which had 3.3 cells per 1000 μm corneal arc.
Suppressed TUNEL-positive cells significantly on the upper side of the cornea (Vehicle group: 4.1 cells/1000 μm; NSP-116 group: 2.2 cells/1000 μm).
Had no effect on apoptosis in the lower side of the cornea.

Animal Model:ddY mice (eight-week-old, male)[2]
-
Dosage:10 or 30 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; single dose; 30 min before light exposure
-
Result:Protected against the reduction in the a-wave amplitude induced by light exposure compared with the vehicle-treated group.
Showed a tendency to suppress the reduction in the b-wave amplitudes.
Suppressed the light-induced ONL thinning compared with the vehicle-treated group.
