Oral administration of semisynthetic sphingolipids promotes recovery of striatal dopamine concentrations in a murine model of parkinsonism.
    Neurology, 1994, Volume: 44, Issue:4

    The neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) administered to young C57/B16J black mice caused a striatal dopamine depletion that could be at least partially reversed by chronic intraperitoneal administration of GM1 ganglioside. The present study shows that the semisynthetic sphingolipids LIGA 4 (II3Neu-5-AcGgOse4-2-d-erythro-1,3-dihydroxy-2-acetamide-4-t rans-octadacene) and LIGA 20 (II3Neu-5-AcGgOse4-2-d-erythro-1,3-dihydroxy-2-chloro-acetam ide-4- trans-octadacene) are also effective in at least partially reversing MPTP-induced striatal dopamine depletions in mice after oral administration. These results suggest that semisynthetic ganglioside derivatives may be superior to the parent GM1 ganglioside for human clinical use.

LIGA 20 increases striatal dopamine levels in aged MPTP-treated mice refractory to GM1 ganglioside treatment.
    Neuroreport, 1993, Nov-18, Volume: 5, Issue:2

    Administration of the dopaminergic neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to aged (12 months) C57 black mice results in a striatal dopamine depletion that can be partially reversed only by long-term (i.e. 8 weeks) intraperitoneal administration of GM1 ganglioside. The present study shows that the semi-synthetic sphingolipid LIGA 20 (II3Neu5AcGgOse4-2-d-erythro-1,3-dihydroxy-2-dichloro-acetrylam ide-4- transoctadene) can partially reverse MPTP-induced striatal dopamine depletions in aged mice after being administered orally for only 4 weeks. GM1 ganglioside administered for 4 weeks had no effect on striatal dopamine levels. These results suggest that LIGA 20 is more potent than the parent GM1 ganglioside and may exert effects on the damaged nervous system under conditions in which GM1 is ineffective.
