ALLM (Calpain inhibitor II), a potent calpain and cathepsin protease inhibitor, not only prevents neuronal cell death but also enhances chronic neurological function following spinal cord injury (SCI)[1][2].
ONO-1714 is a inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS-2) inhibitor. ONO-1714 reduces hyperoxic lung injury in mice. ONO-1714 attenuates inflammation-related large bowel carcinogenesis in male Apc(Min +) mice. ONO-1714 also inhibits neuronal NOS and exerts an
Connexin43 mimetic peptide. Reduces swelling, astrogliosis, neuroinflammation and neuronal cell death following spinal cord injury ex vivo and in vivo. Exhibits analgesic effects in models of neuropathic pain. O'Carroll et al (2008) Connexin 43 mimetic peptides reduce swelling, astrogliosis and neuronal cell death after spinal cord injury.
