Background
Target: Hsp70IC50: N/ATRC 051384, belonging to substituted 2-propen-1-one class, is a potent inducer of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) [1]. Induction of HSP70 is a natural response of stressed cells that protects neuronal cells from a variety of insults including acute ischemia. Therefore, induction of HSP70 provides a potential target for the treatment of stroke [1]. In vitro: Induction of HSP70 by TRC 051384 (6.25, and 12.5 μM) involved heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) activation in HeLa cells and led to increasing chaperone and anti-inflammatory activity [1]. Moreover, TRC 051384 (10-50 μM) dose-dependently induced HSPA1B overexpression in endothelial cells as well as leucocyte origin [2].In vivo: TRC 051384 (9 mg/kg, intra-peritoneal administration) treatment significantly decreased stroke-associated neuronal injury, disability, and increased survival in a rat model of transient ischemic stroke [1]. In addition, TRC 051384 (9 mg/kg, intra-peritoneal administration) delayed thrombus formation without increasing bleeding risk in WT mice [2].
