Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited genetic disorder, characterized by cognitive dysfunction and abnormal body movements, and at present there is no effective treatment for HD. Therapeutic options for HD are limited to symptomatic treatment approaches and there is no cure for this devastating disease. Here, we examined whether SUN N8075, (2S)-1-(4-amino-2,3,5-trimethylphenoxy)-3-{4-[4-(4-fluorobenzyl)phenyl]-1-piperazinyl}-2-propanol dimethanesulfonate, which exerts neuroprotective effects by antioxidant effects and induction of VGF nerve growth factor inducible (VGF), has beneficial effects in STHdh cells derived from striatum of knock-in HD mice and R6/2 HD mice. In an in vitro study, SUN N8075 inhibited the cell death caused by mutant huntingtin (mHtt) and upregulated the VGF mRNA level via the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Furthermore, 30 amino acid of VGF C-terminal peptide, AQEE-30 inhibited the cell death and the aggregation of mHtt. In an in vivo study, SUN N8075 improved the survival and the clasping response in the R6/2 mice. Furthermore, SUN N8075 increased the number of surviving neurons in the striatum of the R6/2 mice. These findings suggest that SUN N8075 may be an effective candidate for HD treatments.

Abstract
A novel series of pyrrolidine derivatives as Na(+) channel blockers was synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on neuronal Na(+) channels. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of a pyrrolidine analogue 2 led to the discovery of 5e as a potent Na(+) channel blocker with a low inhibitory action against human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channels. Compound 5e showed remarkably neuroprotective activity in a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, suggesting that 5e would act as a neuroprotectant for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD), a neurodegenerative movement disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta region of the midbrain. Although the etiology of PD is not completely understood and is believed to be multifactorial, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are widely considered major consequences, which provide important clues to the disease mechanisms. Studies have explored the role of free radicals and oxidative stress that contributes to the cascade of events leading to dopamine cell degeneration in PD. In general, in-built protective mechanisms consisting of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in the CNS play decisive roles in preventing neuronal cell loss due to free radicals. But the ability to produce these antioxidants decreases with aging. Therefore, antioxidant therapy alone or in combination with current treatment methods may represent an attractive strategy for treating or preventing the neurodegeneration seen in PD. Here we summarize the recent discoveries of potential antioxidant compounds for modulating free radical mediated oxidative stress leading to neurotoxicity in PD.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most frequent adult-onset motor neuron disease, and recent evidence has suggested that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of ALS. Here we identified a small molecule, SUN N8075, which has a marked protective effect on ER stress-induced cell death, in an in vitro cell-based screening, and its protective mechanism was mediated by an induction of VGF nerve growth factor inducible (VGF): VGF knockdown with siRNA completely abolished the protective effect of SUN N8075 against ER-induced cell death, and overexpression of VGF inhibited ER-stress-induced cell death. VGF level was lower in the spinal cords of sporadic ALS patients than in the control patients. Furthermore, SUN N8075 slowed disease progression and prolonged survival in mutant SOD1 transgenic mouse and rat models of ALS, preventing the decrease of VGF expression in the spinal cords of ALS mice. These data suggest that VGF plays a critical role in motor neuron survival and may be a potential new therapeutic target for ALS, and SUN N8075 may become a potential therapeutic candidate for treatment of ALS.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effect of SUN N8075, a radical scavenger with neuroprotective properties, on murine retinal damage induced by intravitreous injection of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) or high-intraocular pressure (IOP). In both models, systemic administration of SUN N8075 decreased the cell loss in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) after retinal damage occurred. Moreover, SUN N8075 reduced the number of apoptotic cells and the expression of an oxidative stress marker in GCL in the NMDA model. These findings suggest that SUN N8075 has a neuroprotective effect against retinal damage, presumably via the radical scavenging effect.

Abstract
SUN N8075 is a novel antioxidant with neuroprotective properties. This study was designed to elucidate its neuroprotective effects against 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA)-induced cell death and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced neurotoxicity (known as in vitro and in vivo models of Parkinson's disease, respectively). In the in vitro study, on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, SUN N8075 decreased the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced production of reactive oxygen species and protected against 6-OHDA-induced cell death. In the in vivo study, SUN N8075, when injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) twice with a 5-h interval, inhibited lipid peroxidation (viz. the production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) in the mouse forebrain at 1 h after the second injection. Mice were injected i.p. with MPTP (10 mg/kg) four times at 1-h intervals, and brains were analyzed 7 days later. SUN N8075 at 30 mg/kg (i.p., twice) exhibited a protective effect against the MPTP-induced decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive fibers in the striatum. Moreover, SUN N8075 at 10 and 30 mg/kg (i.p., twice) had a similar protective effect against the MPTP-induced decrease in TH-positive cells in the substantia nigra. Further, SUN N8075 30 mg/kg (i.p. twice) markedly suppressed the MPTP-induced accumulation of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in the striatum. These findings indicate that SUN N8075 exerts protective effects, at least in part via an anti-oxidation mechanism, in these in vitro and in vivo models of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
The identification and characterization of potential pharmacological targets in neurology and psychiatry is a fundamental problem at the intersection between medicinal chemistry and the neurosciences. Exciting new techniques in proteomics and genomics have fostered rapid progress, opening numerous questions as to the functional consequences of ligand binding at the systems level. Psycho- and neuro-active drugs typically work in nerve cells by affecting one or more aspects of electrophysiological activity. Thus, an integrated understanding of neuropharmacological agents requires bridging the gap between their molecular mechanisms and the biophysical determinants of neuronal function. Computational neuroscience and bioinformatics can play a major role in this functional connection. Robust quantitative models exist describing all major active membrane properties under endogenous and exogenous chemical control. These include voltage-dependent ionic channels (sodium, potassium, calcium, etc.), synaptic receptor channels (e.g. glutamatergic, GABAergic, cholinergic), and G protein coupled signaling pathways (protein kinases, phosphatases, and other enzymatic cascades). This brief review of neuromolecular medicine from the computational perspective provides compelling examples of how simulations can elucidate, explain, and predict the effect of chemical agonists, antagonists, and modulators in the nervous system.

Abstract
(2S)-1-(4-Amino-2,3,5-trimethylphenoxy)-3-{4-[4-(4-fluorobenzyl) phenyl]-1-piperazinyl}-2-propanol dimethanesulfonate (SUN N8075) is a novel antioxidant with neuroprotective properties. We examined whether SUN N8075 inhibited the neuronal damage resulting from permanent focal cerebral ischemia, and examined its neuroprotective properties in vivo and in vitro mechanism. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice, and the resulting infarction, brain swelling, and neurological deficits were evaluated after 24 h or 72 h. Brain damage was assessed histochemically using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining and antibody recognizing 4-hydroxynonenal histidine adduct (4-HNE). In the in vitro study, we examined the effects of SUN N8075 on 1) lipid peroxidation in mouse brain homogenates and 2) cell viability and caspase-3 protease activity under a hypoxic insult or FeSO(4) in rat cultured cerebrocortical neurons. SUN N8075 administered either 10 min before or at 1 h after the occlusion reduced both infarction size and neurological deficits. SUN N8075 reduced brain swelling when administered 10 min before, 1 h, or 3 h after occlusion. Furthermore, only pretreatment (administered 10 min before) decreased infarct volume and brain swelling at 72 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion. SUN N8075 reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells and decreased the level of oxidative damage, as assessed by immunopositive staining to 4-HNE. SUN N8075 inhibited lipid peroxidation, leakage of lactate dehydrogenase, caspase-3 activation induced by in vitro hypoxia, and the neuronal damage induced by in vitro FeSO(4) exposure. These findings indicate that SUN N8075 has neuroprotective effects against acute ischemic neuronal damage in mice and may prove promising as a therapeutic drug for stroke.

Abstract
Two types of novel diphenylalkyl piperazine derivatives containing the thio or aminopropanol moiety substituted by phenyl or benzyl group were synthesized, and evaluated for their calcium antagonistic and antioxidative activities. These compounds showed apparent inhibitions against KCl-induced contractions in isolated rat aorta. Among them, phenylamino compound 9 and benzylamino compound 13 also possessed potent inhibitory activities against auto-oxidative lipid peroxidations in canine brain homogenates. Two representative compounds 3a and 9 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against KCl-induced contractions in isolated canine arteries (basilar, coronary, mesenteric, and renal). Both compounds showed the most potent inhibitions to basilar artery.
