A unique feature of ANAVEX®2-73, compared to another sigma-1 receptor agonist we studied, is that ANAVEX®2-73 accelerates the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC) to oligodendrocytes (OL)” said Dr Robert P. Lisak. “This is an important feature since OPCs can replace lost OLs by maturing into new potential myelin-producing cells. In other words, ANAVEX®2-73 might promote remyelination. Further data also demonstrates that ANAVEX®2-73 provides protection for OL, OPC’s, as well as central nervous system neurons in addition to helping repair by increasing OPC proliferation and maturation in tissue culture.“
