*MS Article on research on a Compound*

[Guest guest]

Hi

I'm afraid I don't have the link for the article; this was on another

list. The link you do see is for a definition of MS.

Multiple sclerosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

# A compound called inosine has had good results in phase I and is

currently in phase II.[31] Three differents ways of action have been

proposed. First, it produces uric acid after ingestion, which is a

natural antioxidant and a peroxinitrite scavenger[32] (peroxynitrite

has been correlated with the axons degeneration[33]). Second, in has

been shown that induces axonal rewiring and is used as a treatment for

stroke,[34] and third, it has shown neuroprotective and

anti-inflamatory effects independently of the other two.[35] Currently

it is being investigated by Boston Life Sciences under the name axosine
