HUP-55 is a prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM). HUP-55 reduces the dimerization of alpha-synuclein in Neuro2a cells and induces autophagy (Autophagy) in HEK293 cells. It also decreases the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by hydrogen peroxide in SH-SY5Y cells at a concentration of 10 µM. In a mouse Parkinsons disease model, HUP-55 (10 mg/kg) improves motor function (reduces the use frequency of the impaired paw) and decreases the levels of harmful oligomers of alpha-synuclein in the striatum caused by overexpression of alpha-synuclein[1].
