Background:

RN-1734 is selective antagonist of the TRPV4 channel, completely antagonizes 4αPDD-mediated activation of TRPV4 with comparable, low micromolar IC50s for all three species (hTRPV4: 2.3 μM, mTRPV4: 5.9 μM, rTRPV4: 3.2 μM)[1]. RN-1734 clearly decreases the production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) without altering the number of olig2-positive cells[2].

RN-1734 (27 hours; 10μM) reverses the increase in the apoptotic rate of oligodendrocytes induced by CM (LPS-activated microglia group) apoptosis[2].RN-1734 (27 hours; 10μM) alleviates CM-induced decreases in CNP[2].

RN-1734 (0.5 μl; microinjector pump; daily for 5 weeks) significantly reverses the decrease in CNP protein and improves myelination in CPZ-induced demyelination mouse[2].
