HUP-55 is a prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM). HUP-55 reduces the dimerization of α-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 Parkinson’s 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 α-synuclein in the striatum caused by overexpression of α-synuclein.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
