| Targets |
Simufilam dihydrochloride targets filamin A (FLNA), a protein that plays a critical role in cytoskeletal organization and cell signaling. The compound preferentially binds altered FLNA and restores its native conformation. This restoration leads to restoration of receptor and synaptic activities and reduces FLNA's α7nAChR/TLR4 associations and downstream pathologies. The compound also targets NMDAR signaling and Arc expression. It inhibits overactive mTOR signaling. By restoring normal FLNA conformation, the compound improves insulin sensitivity, reduces Aβ42-induced neuroinflammation, and reduces tau protein hyperphosphorylation. These effects suggest potential therapeutic applications in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
