The ability of H3R antagonist 1 hydrochloride-1 to enhance in vivo remyelination is determined with the Cuprizone/Rapamycin-induced demyelination model. Mice are treated with Cuprizone diet combined with intraperitoneal injections of Rapamycin for 5 weeks followed by 9 days of compound administration. Cuprizone diet plus intraperitoneal injections of Rapamycin induced severe demyelination in both corpus callosum and cortex and treatment with H3R antagonist 1 hydrochloride (30 mg/kg, 9 days) significantly increases density of myelin specific Black-gold II staining in the lesion of corpus callosum and cortex in forebrain, compared to vehicle control group[1].
