Abstract
Description
TITLE: ISOINDOLIN-1-ONE DERIVATIVES, COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOFRELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application claims the benefit of priority of co-pending United States provisional patent application no. 63 / 745,483 filed on January 15, 2025 the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to isoindolin-1-one derivatives to compositions comprising them, and to their use in therapy. More particularly, the present application relates to isoindolin-1-one compounds useful in stimulating neuritogenesis and / or providing neuroprotection, and for diseases, disorders or conditions that benefit from neuritogenesis and neuroprotection. The present application also relates to processes for their preparationBACKGROUND
[0003] The medical need for better therapies of all neurological diseases is enormous and encompasses neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease as well as neuropsychiatric diseases such as treatment resistant depression. Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, represent a mounting global health crisis impacting an estimated 50 million people worldwide. This burden is projected to triple to 152 million by 2050, underscoring the urgent need for effective therapeutic interventions [GBD Dementia Forecasting Collaborators, 2019], Neuropsychiatric diseases are a leading cause of disability and suicide [S. E. Hyman, 2008], The Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) is used to report the years lost to premature death and years lived with disability. Neuropsychiatric diseases contributed around 12% of all DALYs globally in the year 2000 [S. E. Hyman, 2008],
[0004] Neurotrophins (NTs), such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), have attracted interest as therapeutics of neurological disorders, due to their roles in neuronal survival, differentiation and plasticity in both the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) [J. Kim, 2023] [Huang EJ, 2001], Current therapeutic approaches offer symptomatic relief rather than disease modification. There is an immediate and unmet need for curative treatments of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, especially therapeutics that can reverse disease progression. While NTs themselves show promise as therapeutic agents, their clinical utility is limited by poor pharmacokinetic properties, including short half-life and limited permeability across the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). However, small molecule compounds mimicking neurotrophins ormodulating neurotrophin levels represent promising drug candidates for neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases [J. Xu, 2014],
[0005] Hericium erinaceus has emerged as a rich source of neurotrophic compounds, particularly isoindolinone alkaloids. Two members of this family, isohericerinol A and / V-de(phenylethyl) isohericerin (NDPIH), have demonstrated neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties [S. H. Ryu, 2021; M. Vishwanath, 2022], NDPIH has been shown to exhibit BDNF-like effects on primary hippocampal neurons, promoting neurite outgrowth [Ramón Martínez-Mármol, 2023],
[0006] There remains a need to further investigate neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties of isoindolinone derivatives.SUMMARY

[0220] In an embodiment the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is an acid addition salt or a base addition salt. The selection of a suitable salt may be made by a person skilled in the art (see, for example, S. M. Berge, et al., " Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19).
[0221] An acid addition salt suitable for, or compatible with, the treatment of subjects is any non-toxic organic or inorganic acid addition salt of any basic compound. Basiccompounds that form an acid addition salt include, for example, compounds comprising an amine group. Illustrative inorganic acids which form suitable salts include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric and phosphoric acids, as well as acidic metal salts such as sodium monohydrogen orthophosphate and potassium hydrogen sulfate. Illustrative organic acids which form suitable salts include mono-, di- and tricarboxylic acids. Illustrative of such organic acids are, for example, acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, glycolic, lactic, pyruvic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, benzoic, hydroxybenzoic, phenylacetic, cinnamic, mandelic, salicylic, 2-phenoxybenzoic, p-toluenesulfonic acid and other sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid and 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid. In an embodiment, the mono- or di-acid salts are formed, and such salts exist in either a hydrated, solvated or substantially anhydrous form. In general, acid addition salts are more soluble in water and various hydrophilic organic solvents, and generally demonstrate higher melting points in comparison to their free base forms. The selection criteria for the appropriate salt will be known to one skilled in the art. Other non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as but not limited to oxalates may be used, for example in the isolation of compounds of the application for laboratory use, or for subsequent conversion to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt.
[0222] A base addition salt suitable for, or compatible with, the treatment of subjects is any non-toxic organic or inorganic base addition salt of any acidic compound. Acidic compounds that form a basic addition salt include, for example, compounds comprising a carboxylic acid group. Illustrative inorganic bases which form suitable salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium or barium hydroxide as well as ammonia. Illustrative organic bases which form suitable salts include aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic organic amines such as isopropylamine, methylamine, trimethylamine, picoline, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins, and the like. Exemplary organic bases are isopropylamine, diethylamine, ethanolamine, trimethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, choline, and caffeine. The selection of the appropriate salt may be useful, for example, so that an ester functionality, if any, elsewhere in a compound is not hydrolyzed. The selection criteria for the appropriate salt will be known to one skilled in the art.
[0223] Solvates of compounds of the application include, for example, those made with solvents that are pharmaceutically acceptable. Examples of such solvents include water(resulting solvate is called a hydrate) and ethanol and the like. Suitable solvents are physiologically tolerable at the dosage administered.
[0224] In embodiments of the present application, the compounds described herein may have at least one asymmetric center. Where compounds possess more than one asymmetric center, they may exist as diastereomers. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof in any proportion are encompassed within the scope of the present application. It is to be further understood that while the stereochemistry of the compounds may be as shown in any given compound listed herein, such compounds may also contain certain amounts (for example, less than 20%, suitably less than 10%, more suitably less than 5%) of compounds of the present application having an alternate stereochemistry. It is intended that any optical isomers, as separated, pure or partially purified optical isomers or racemic mixtures thereof are included within the scope of the present application.
[0225] The compounds of the present application may also exist in different tautomeric forms and it is intended that any tautomeric forms which the compounds form, as well as mixtures thereof, are included within the scope of the present application.
[0226] The compounds of the present application may further exist in varying polymorphic forms and it is contemplated that any polymorphs, or mixtures thereof, which form are included within the scope of the present application.
[0227] The compounds of the present application may further be radiolabeled and accordingly all radiolabeled versions of the compounds of the application are included within the scope of the present application. The compounds of the application also include those in which one or more radioactive atoms are incorporated within their structure.III. Compositions of the Application
[0228] The compounds of the present application are suitably formulated in a conventional manner into compositions using one or more carriers. Accordingly, the present application also includes a composition comprising one or more compounds of the application and a carrier. The compounds of the application are suitably formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to subjects in a biologically compatible form suitable for administration in vivo. Accordingly, the present application further includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more compounds of the application and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In embodiments of the application the pharmaceutical compositions are used in the treatment of any of the diseases, disorders or conditions described herein.
[0229] In some embodiments of the application the pharmaceutical compositions are used in the treatment of any of the diseases, disorders or conditions described herein
[0230] Therefore, the present application further includes a method or use of stimulating neuritogenesis or inhibiting neurodegeneration, or treating or preventing a disease, disorder or condition that benefits from neuritogenesis and / or neuroprotection (optionally, inhibiting neurodegeneration, and / or increasing neural plasticity) as described above by administering or using a composition comprising a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug and / or solvate thereof
[0231] The compounds of the application are administered to a subject in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. For example, a compound of the application is administered by oral, inhalation, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, vaginal, patch, pump, minipump, topical or transdermal administration and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. In some embodiments, administration is by means of a pump for periodic or continuous delivery. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable compositions are described, for example, in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences (2000 - 20th edition) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 24 NF19) published in 1999.
[0232] Parenteral administration includes systemic delivery routes other than the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract, and includes, for example intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary (for example, by use of an aerosol), intrathecal, rectal and topical (including the use of a patch or other transdermal delivery device) modes of administration. Parenteral administration may be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.
[0233] In some embodiments, a compound of the application is orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it is enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or it is compressed into tablets, or it is incorporated directly with the food of the diet. In some embodiments, the compound is incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, caplets, pellets, granules, lozenges, chewing gum, powders, syrups, elixirs, wafers, aqueous solutions and suspensions, and the like. In the case of tablets, carriers that are used include lactose, corn starch, sodium citrate and salts of phosphoric acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include binding agents (e.g., pregelatinized maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g., potatostarch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulphate). In embodiments, the tablets are coated by methods well known in the art. In the case of tablets, capsules, caplets, pellets or granules for oral administration, pH sensitive enteric coatings, such as Eudragits™ designed to control the release of active ingredients are optionally used. Oral dosage forms also include modified release, for example immediate release and timed-release, formulations. Examples of modified-release formulations include, for example, sustained-release (SR), extended-release (ER, XR, or XL), time-release or timed-release, controlled-release (CR), or continuous-release (CR orContin), employed, for example, in the form of a coated tablet, an osmotic delivery device, a coated capsule, a microencapsulated microsphere, an agglomerated particle, e.g., as of molecular sieving type particles, or, a fine hollow permeable fiber bundle, or chopped hollow permeable fibers, agglomerated or held in a fibrous packet. Timed-release compositions are formulated, for example as liposomes or those wherein the active compound is protected with differentially degradable coatings, such as by microencapsulation, multiple coatings, etc. Liposome delivery systems include, for example, small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. In some embodiments, liposomes are formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful carriers or diluents include lactose and dried corn starch.
[0234] In some embodiments, liquid preparations for oral administration take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they are suitably presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. When aqueous suspensions and / or emulsions are administered orally, the compound of the application is suitably suspended or dissolved in an oily phase that is combined with emulsifying and / or suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening and / or flavoring and / or coloring agents are added. Such liquid preparations for oral administration are prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, methyl cellulose or hydrogenated edible fats); emulsifying agents (e.g., lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g., almond oil, oily esters or ethyl alcohol); and preservatives (e.g., methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid). Useful diluents include lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
[0235] It is also possible to freeze-dry the compounds of the application and use the lyophilizates obtained, for example, for the preparation of products for injection.
[0236] In some embodiments, a compound of the application is administered parenterally. For example, solutions of a compound of the application are prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. In some embodiments, dispersions are prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, DMSO and mixtures thereofwith or without alcohol, and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. A person skilled in the art would know how to prepare suitable formulations. For parenteral administration, sterile solutions of the compounds of the application are usually prepared, and the pH’s of the solutions are suitably adjusted and buffered. For intravenous use, the total concentration of solutes should be controlled to render the preparation isotonic. For ocular administration, ointments or droppable liquids are delivered, for example, by ocular delivery systems known to the art such as applicators or eye droppers. In some embodiment, such compositions include mucomimetics such as hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or polyvinyl alcohol, preservatives such as sorbic acid, EDTA or benzyl chromium chloride, and the usual quantities of diluents or carriers. For pulmonary administration, diluents or carriers will be selected to be appropriate to allow the formation of an aerosol.

[0357] Throughout the processes described herein it is to be understood that, where appropriate, suitable protecting groups will be added to, and subsequently removed from, the various reactants and intermediates in a manner that will be readily understood by one skilled in the art. Conventional procedures for using such protecting groups as well as examples of suitable protecting groups are described, for example, in “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", T. W. Green, P. G. M. Wuts, Wiley-lnterscience, New York, (1999).
[0358] It is also to be understood that a transformation of a group or substituent into another group or substituent by chemical manipulation can be conducted on any intermediate or final product on the synthetic path toward the final product, in which the possible type of transformation is limited only by inherent incompatibility of other functionalities carried by the molecule at that stage to the conditions or reagents employed in the transformation. Such inherent incompatibilities, and ways to circumvent them by carrying out appropriate transformations and synthetic steps in a suitable order, will be readily understood to one skilled in the art. Examples of transformations are given herein, and it is to be understood that the described transformations are not limited only to the generic groups or substituents for which the transformations are exemplified. References and descriptions of other suitable transformations are given in “Comprehensive OrganicTransformations- A Guide to Functional Group Preparations” R. C. Larock, VHC Publishers, Inc. (1989). References and descriptions of other suitable reactions are described in textbooks of organic chemistry, for example, “Advanced Organic Chemistry", March, 4th ed. McGraw Hill (1992) or, “Organic Synthesis", Smith, McGraw Hill, (1994).
[0359] Techniques for purification of intermediates and final products include, for example, straight and reversed phase chromatography on column or rotating plate, recrystallisation, distillation and liquid-liquid or solid-liquid extraction, which will be readily understood by one skilled in the art.
[0360] The products of the processes of the application may be isolated according to known methods, for example, the compounds may be isolated by evaporation of the solvent, by filtration, centrifugation, chromatography or other suitable method.
[0361] Generally, the reactions described above are performed in a suitable inert organic solvent and at temperatures and for times that will optimize the yield of the desired compounds. Examples of suitable inert organic solvents include, but are not limited to, 2-propanol, dimethylformamide (DMF), 1,4-dioxane, methylene chloride, chloroform, tetra hydrofuran (THF), toluene, and the like.
[0362] Salts of compounds of Formula I may be formed by methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art, for example, by reacting compounds of Formula I with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.
[0363] Prodrugs of the compounds of the present application may be, for example, conventional esters formed with available hydroxy, thiol, amino or carboxyl groups. For example, available hydroxy or amino groups may be acylated using an activated acid in the presence of a base, and optionally, in inert solvent (e.g. an acid chloride in pyridine).
[0364] The formation of a desired compound salt is achieved using standard techniques. For example, the neutral compound is treated with an acid or base in a suitable solvent and the formed salt is isolated by filtration, extraction or any other suitable method.
[0365] The formation of solvates of the compounds of the application will vary depending on the compound and the solvate. In general, solvates are formed by dissolving the compound in the appropriate solvent and isolating the solvate by cooling or using an antisolvent. The solvate is typically dried or azeotroped under ambient conditions. The selection of suitable conditions to form a particular solvate can be made by a person skilled in the art.
[0366] One skilled in the art will recognize that where a reaction step of the present application is carried out in a variety of solvents or solvent systems, said reaction step may also be carried out in a mixture of the suitable solvents or solvent systems.

(chloroform: 8H7.26, 8C77.16; acetone: 8H2.05, 8C29.84, 206.26; methanol: 8H3.31, 8C49.00; DMSO: 8H2.50, δC39.52) (Gottlieb, H. G et al. 1997). When peak multiplicities are given, the following abbreviations are used: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; sept., septet; dd, doublet of doublets; m, multiplet; br, broad; app., apparent; gem, geminal.1H NMR spectra were acquired at 400 or 700 MHz with a default digital resolution (Bruker™ parameter: FIDRES) of 0.22 and 0.15 Hz / point, respectively. Coupling constants reported herein therefore have uncertainties of ±0.4 Hz and ±0.3 Hz, respectively. All assignments of protons and carbons relied on data from 2-dimensional NMR experiments including COSY, HMQC, and HMBC. The13C NMR spectra provided herein (13C{1H} DEPTQ-135; Bruker pulse program deptqgpsp) show CH and CH3carbon signals above the baseline and C and CH2carbons below the baseline. Melting points (mp) are uncorrected. Reactions were carried out at room temperature (rt) if temperature is not specified. Compounds purified by normal or reversephase flash chromatography used Teledyne CombiFlash Rf+ and NextGen 300+ purification systems (www.teledyneisco.com) with pre-packed silica cartridges (either 40–63 μM or 20–40 μM particle size). High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data was obtained using a Bruker micrOTOF II system with electrospray ionization (ESI) and paired with an Agilent HPLC and UV detector. Solvents used were anhydrous unless noted and dried by solvent purification system (SPS) or using 4A molecular sieves.Synthesis of Precursor Aldehyde 4geranyl bromide (1.5 eq)Methyl 2-formyl-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate (2)OMeO OH O1 70% BRSM 2

[0375] Aldehyde 4 (1 equiv.), or derivative of, containing the same ortho aldehydeester functionality, was added to a sealed vial. Amine (1.5 equiv.) was added to the vial followed by methanol (0.2M) and the vial sealed with cap. The reaction mixture was heated in methanol at 60 °C until TLC indicated complete formation of the new imine species. At this point, NaBH4(2.75 equiv.) was added, and the reaction was returned to heat. Careful monitoring by TLC indicated complete consumption of the intermediate imine and the reaction was quenched with a few drops of saturated NaHCO3If solids crashed out they could be collected by filtration washing thoroughly with water and pentane to yield desired product. Alternatively, the reaction mixture could be subjected to aqueous work-up extracting the water / methanol reaction with ethyl acetate three times. The collected organic layers were washed with brine, then dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo.

[0401] NDPIH (C-1) and isohericerin (C-2) were tested for their neuritogenic activity in primary rat cortical neurons, which play a role in cognition and motor function. To study the effects of NDPIH (C-1) and isohericerin (C-2) on neuritogenesis, primary cortical neurons were isolated from rat fetuses. Primary cortical neurons were treated with NDPIH (C-1) or isohericerin (C-2) for 72 h at concentrations 1000, 100, 10 and 1 nM. BDNF was tested at 50 ng / mL as a positive control and the vehicle (0.1 % DMSO) served as the untreated control. NDPIH (C-1) and isohericerin (C-2) both significantly stimulated neuritogenesis, with activity observed at concentrations as low as 10 and 1 nM, respectively (Table 2).
[0402] Exemplary compounds of the application were synthesized and the neuritogenic activity of the exemplary compounds of the application was evaluated in the primary rat cortical neurons. A summary of the neuritogenic activity for the exemplary compounds of the application is provided in Table 2.Table 2: Summary of the minimum compound concentration at which neuritogenesis is observedChemical Name Minimum neuritogenesis cone.C-1 ++++C-2 +++++1-1 +I-2 +I-3 +++++I-4 +I-5 ++++++I-6 +I-7 +++++I-8 +++I-9 ++++1-10 +1-11 +1-12 +1-13 +1-14 +++++1-15 +++1-17 +1-18 +1-19 +I-20 +Legend:+ (>1000 nM) ++ (1000 nM) +++ (100 nM) ++++ (10 nM) +++++ (1 nM) ++++++ (0.01 nM)Biological Experimental ProceduresPrimary culture of cortical neurons
[0403] Rat cortical neurons were cultured as described by N. Callizot, 2013 with modifications. Briefly pregnant female rats (Wistar, Janvier) of 15 days of gestation were killed using a deep anesthesia with CO2chamber and a cervical dislocation. Fetuses were collected and immediately placed in ice-cold L15 Leibovitz medium with a 2% penicillin (10,000 U / mL) and streptomycin (10 mg / mL) solution (PS) and 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Cortex was specifically dissected and treated for 20 min at 37°C with a trypsin- EDTA solution at a final concentration of 0.05% trypsin and 0.02% EDTA. The enzymatic dissociation was stopped by addition of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) with 4.5 g / L of glucose, containing DNAse I grade II (final concentration 0.5 mg / mL) and 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Cells were mechanically dissociated by three forced passages through the tip of a 10-mL pipette. Cells were then centrifuged at 515 x g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in a defined culture medium consisting of Neurobasal medium with a 2% solution of B27 supplement, 2 mmol / liter of L-glutamine, 2% of PS solution, and 10 ng / mL of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Viable cells were counted in a Neubauer cytometer, using the trypan blue exclusion test. The cells were seeded at a density of 25,000 per well in 96-well plate precoated with poly-L-lysine and were cultured at 37°C in an air (95%)-CO2(5%) incubator. For 96 well-plates, only 60 wells were used. To avoid any edge effect, the first and last columns as well as first and last rows of the plate were not used in the study. Empty wells were filled with water.Test compoundsVehicle: culture medium (0.1% DMSO)
[0404] Treatment: On day 1 (day of seeding), the test compounds were diluted in the appropriate vehicle and applied to the culture and incubation was for 3 days. Test compounds were tested on cultures in 96-well plates (n=6 culture wells per condition). BDNF was used as a positive control at a concentration of 50 ng / mL. The vehicle was tested as the no treatment control.Immunostaining: MAP-2
[0405] 72 hours after treatment, the cell culture supernatant was removed, and then the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The cortical neurons were fixed with a cold solution of ethanol (95%) and acetic acid (5%) for 5 min at -20°C. They were washed twice again in PBS, and then permeabilized. Non-specific sites were blocked with a solution of PBS containing 0.1% saponin and 1% FCS, for 15 min at room temperature (RT). Cells were then incubated for 2 hours with a mouse monoclonal antibody anti microtubule-associated-protein 2 (MAP-2), at a dilution of 1 / 400 in PBS, with 1% fetal calf serum and 0.1% of saponin. This antibody binds specifically neurons and neurites, allowing study ofneuronal cell survival and neurite network. This antibody was revealed with a secondary antibody, goat anti-mouse IgG coupled with an Alexa Flour488 at the dilution 1 / 400 in PBS containing 1% FCS, 0.1% saponin, for 1 h at RT. Cell nucleus were counterstained with a fluorescent dye, Hoechst, at a 1 / 1000 dilution (Sigma-Aldrich).Automated image analysis
[0406] For each condition, 30 images per well were automatically captured using ImageXpress® (Molecular Devices) or Operetta CLSTM(PerkinElmer) at 20x magnification. All images were generated using the same acquisition parameters. Image analyses were automatically performed by MetaXpress® (Molecular Devices) or Harmony™ (PerkinElmer). To evaluate the neuritogenic activity of the treatments, the following read-outs were investigated (see Figure 1):
[0407] - Total neurite network (lengths of MAP-2 positive neurite in pm)
