Description

2-(4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)acetic acid (2-AMEPA) is a synthetic compound that has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and stroke. 2-AMEPA also has antiplatelet properties, which may result from its ability to potentiate sodium channels and inhibit the lipoprotein lipase that hydrolyzes triglycerides into free fatty acids. 2-AMEPA has been shown to have hypocholesterolaemic effects in clinical studies, with hyperlipidaemia being a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This compound also has potentiation activity at the N-methyl D-aspartate receptor, which is involved in the regulation of locomotor activity.
