Fuente: WIPO "biotechnology" Neurite outgrowth-promoting prostaglandins (NEPPs) and other electrophilic compounds bind to Keapl, a negative regulator of the transcription factor Nrf2, and prevent Keapl -mediated inactivation of Nrf2 and, thus, enhance Nrf2 translocation into the nucleus of neuronal cells. Therefore, neuroprotective compositions and related methods are provided that employ such neuroprotective compounds, and prodrugs of such compounds, to cause dissociation of Nrf2 from a Keapl /Nrf2 complex.
