Improvement Effect of the Compound of the Present Invention in Experimental Model of Parkinson's Disease Induced by Administration of MPTP

[0067] Male C57BL / 6 mice (body weight: 20 to 28 g) were divided into groups each having 6 to 12 animals. Without anesthetizing, MPTP (10 mg / kg; 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride) was intraperitoneally administered to the mice 4 times at intervals of 1 hour (Brain Res., 824: 224-231 (1999)). To the models thus prepared, Compound A of the present invention ((R)-2-propyloctanoic acid) was administered after 1, 6, 24 and 48 hours. Three days after the final administration, striata of the mice were collected. After weighing, the striata were immediately frozen and stored. Then, dopamine content and DOPAC (3,4-dihydroxypyenylacetate) content were measured by HPLC in a conventional manner and evaluated. Table 1 shows the results.
