Synucleozid hydrochloride (NSC 377363 hydrochloride) is a potent inhibitor of the?SNCA?mRNA?that encodes α-synuclein protein. Synucleozid selectively?targets the?α-synuclein?mRNA 5′ UTR at the designed IRE site, decreases the amount of?SNCA?mRNA loaded into polysomes and thereby inhibits?SNCA?translation. Synucleozid has the potential for the investigation of Parkinson’s disease[1].
