MPP+ IODIDE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

MPP+ iodide is an active metabolite of the dopaminergic neurotoxin MPTP.

Uses

Dopaminergic neurotoxin; a selective cytostatic agent in small-cell lung cancer cell lines with neuroendocrine properties.

General Description

1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) induces neurotoxicity by inhibiting mitochondrial redox functions in the striatal synaptosomes. It is a potential neurotoxin and induces Parkinson′s disease in animal models. It mediates apoptosis by the generation of reactive oxygen species in cerebellar granule neurons and neuroblastoma cells. MPP+ modulates the distribution of dopamine. It elicits neurotoxicity by activating neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), resulting in excess nitric oxide.
