The Neuroprotective Effects of SIRT1 on NMDA-Induced Excitotoxicity
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, is involved in the regulation of gene transcription, energy metabolism, and cellular aging and has become an important therapeutic target across a range of diseases. Recent research has demonstrated that SIRT1 possesses neuroprotective effects; however, it is unknown whether it protects neurons from NMDA-mediated neurotoxici...

متن کاملNeuroprotective effect of resveratrol against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.
As the major neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), excessive extracellular glutamate (Glu) can activate the Glu receptors and neuronal calcium (Ca2+) overload, then produce neurotoxicity, which is a common pathway for neuronal injury or death, and is associated with acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, it has been a therapeutic strategy to investiga...
متن کاملNeuroprotective effects of eliprodil in retinal excitotoxicity and ischemia.
PURPOSE To evaluate whether eliprodil (SL82.0715), a NR2B-selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, is protective of retina subjected to an excitotoxic or ischemic insult. METHODS To evaluate protection against retinal excitotoxicity, eliprodil was administered intraperitoneally before and after the injection of NMDA (5 microl, 20 nmol) into the vitreous of rats. Integrity of the reti...
متن کاملUnraveling the Wacker oxidation mechanisms.
The Wacker processsolefin oxidation via a Pd(II)Cl2 catalyst and an air-recyclable CuCl2 co-oxidant (Scheme 1)swas one of the most important industrial breakthroughs in the fabrication of organic chemicals, and is widely regarded as one of the quintessential organometallic processes.1 Besides its industrial importance, the Wacker process and its analogues are continually used in fields relating...
