CZC-54252 HCl (1784253-05-9) is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of the leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2), IC50 = 1.28 nM. Also inhibits G2019S mutant LRRK2, IC50 = 1.85 nM.1?CZC-54252 attenuates the neuronal damage elicited by the action of LRRK2 G2019S mutant in primary human neurons (EC50 = 1 nM).1 The G2019S mutant is a common mutation found in familial Parkinson’s disease patients.2?Cell permeable.
