Abstract

Using SVZ (subventricular zone) tissue explants from one-day-old mice, we investigated the activity of new amino aromatic disulfide analogues and polyazamacrocycles on the migration of SVZ cells (neuroblasts). We found that among the tested analogues, non-peptidic disulfide derivative 8 significantly decreases the migration of neuroblasts from SVZ cells, and antagonized the stimulating activity of disulfide cyclic peptide 1. Discovery of compounds 1 and 8 constitutes new chemical tools which could be used to understand the mechanism of neuroblast migration during neurogenesis and eventually to identify specific genes involved in the neurogenesis.
