, (2021/10/02)
Disclosed are methods of treating creatine transporter deficiency, comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that increases transport of a substrate by a mutant or wild-type creatine transporter. Also disclosed are methods of increasing transport of guanidinoacetic acid or a salt thereof across the blood-brain barrier of a mammal, and methods of decreasing accumulation or the concentration of guanidinoacetic acid or a salt thereof in a mammalian cell.

Honokiol, a biphenyl-type neolignan, which shows the remarkable neurotrophic effect in primary cultured rat cortical neurons, has been effectively synthesized in 21% yield over 14 steps starting from 5-bromosalicylic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid by utilizing Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction as a key step. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship between neurite outgrowth-promoting activity and its O-methylated and/or its hydrogenated analogues was examined in the primary cultures of fetal rat cortical neurons, suggesting that 5-allyl and 4′-hydroxyl groups are essential for affecting the neurotrophic activity of honokiol.
