THX-B is a potent and non-peptidic p75NTR (neurotrophin receptor p75) antagonist. THX-B can be used in the research of diabetic kidney disease, neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders[1][2][3].
THX-B (10 μM, 4 days) decreases proliferation of myoblasts[1].
THX-B (10 μM, 1 h) inhibits NGF-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in C2C12 myoblasts[1].
THX-B (20 μM, 24 h) decreases photoreceptor cell death and reactive gliosis in cultured rd10 retinas[2].
THX-B (50 μg in 125 μL PBS, i.p. weekly for 4 weeks) improves bladder function in a mouse model of diabetic voiding dysfunction[3].
THX-B (2 μL of 2 μg/μL, IVT injection, a single dose) elicits a neuroprotective effect on photoreceptor cells in P17 rd10 mice[2].
THX-B (40 μg in 20 μL, IVT injection) resolves the inflammatory, vascular, and neurodegenerative phases of the retinal pathology[4].
