J147B
Pharmacology
J147 is an inhibitor of ATP synthase and upregulates NGF, Egr, and AMPK. It is a synthetic analog of curcumin [1], and has completed Phase 1 human trials (but with limited information).
Besides neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects, J147 has demonstrated appreciable bioavailability and safety over curcumin [2]. The oral bioavailability and t1/2 of J147 in mice are 28% and 2.5 h, respectively [3][4]
J147 has been found to:
- Whiten skin via suppressing α-MSH induced melanogenesis [2]
- Upregulate 5-HT1A (and have an antidepressant effect) [5]
Note: There is a derivative of J147 called T-006.
