A Novel Immunophilin Ligand: Distinct Branching Effects on Dopaminergic Neurons in Culture and Neurotrophic Actions after Oral Administration in an Animal Model of Parkinson's Disease

Protection or regeneration of the dopaminergic (DA) system would be of significant therapeutic value for Parkinson's disease. Immunophilin ligands, such as FK506, can produce neurotrophic effectsin vitroandin vivo,but their immunosuppressive effects make them unsuitable for neurological applica...
