Description
Corynoxine is an enantiomer of Corynoxine B. It induces autophagy in different neuronal cell lines, including N2a and SHSY-5Y cells. By inducing autophagy, it promotes the clearance of wild-type and A53T α-syn in inducible PC12 cells. It also significantly decreased locomotor activity after oral administration to mice.
