title: Protective effect of T-588 on toxic damage by serum deprivation and amyloid-beta protein in cultured neurons.
abstract: The present study examines the effect of the cognition enhancer (1R)-1-benzo[b]thiophen-5-yl-2-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]ethan-1-ol hydrochloride (T-588) on neuronal injury induced by serum deprivation or amyloid-beta protein (A beta). T-588 protected partially against neuronal injury induced by serum deprivation or A beta in cultured cortical neurons. T-588 did not affect the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in cortical neurons and SH-SY5Y cells. These results suggest that T-588 has a protective effect in neuronal injury models and the effect is not mediated by an ERK signal pathway.
