Neurite outgrowth-promoting prostaglandins (NEPPs) and other electrophilic compounds bind to Keap1, a negative regulator of the transcription factor Nrf2, and prevent Keap1-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 Keap1/Nrf2 complex.
神经突起促进前列腺素(NEPPs)和其他电子亲和力化合物结合到Keap1上,Keap1是转录因子Nrf2的负调节因子,防止Keap1介导的Nrf2失活,并增强Nrf2进入神经元细胞核的转位。因此,提供了使用这些神经保护化合物及其前药的神经保护组合物和相关方法,以使Nrf2与Keap1 / Nrf2复合物解离的方法。
