Peripheral Myelin P0 Protein (180-199), derived from mice, is a purified component of the myelin found in the peripheral nerves. This protein serves as a neuritogenic peptide, initiating the growth of neuronal processes.
Epolactaene is a neuritogenic compound in human neuroblastoma cells which selectively inhibit the activities of mammalian DNA polymerases and human DNA topoisomerase II.
Gentiside B is a potent inducer of neurite outgrowth on PC12 cells, it shows a significant neuritogenic activity at 30 microM against PC12 cells that is comparable to that seen for the best nerve growth factor (NGF) concentration of 40 ng mL.
