Uses
Rosolutamide (ASC-JM17), a curcumin analog, is an orally active, potent Nrf1 and Nrf2 activator. Rosolutamide activates Nrf1, Nrf2 and heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1), thereby activating the expression of proteasome subunits, antioxidant enzymes and molecular chaperones. Rosolutamide degrades the polyglutamine (polyQ) androgen receptor (AR) via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and improves motor function in mouse models of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). Rosolutamide improves mitochondrial function and promotes autophagy, decreases mutant protein aggregates, and attenuates intracellular/mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels[1][2].
