BAM-15 50 mg – 60 κάψουλες (preorder)

BAM-15 50 mg — 60 ερευνητικές κάψουλες από του στόματος. BAM-15 is the most pharmacologically refined mitochondrial protonophore uncoupler ever developed — και the first such molecule with a meaningful safety margin over the historical leader 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). Identified σε chemical screen by the Hoehn group at the University of Sydney (Kenwood et al., Mol Metab 2014), BAM-15 selectively depolarizes the mitochondrial inner membrane without affecting the plasma membrane — the mechanistic distinction that eliminates the cardiovascular και thermogenic toxicity that has limited every prior uncoupler. In lκαιmark 2020 work by Axelrod et al. (EMBO Mol Med), BAM-15 prevented diet-induced obesity και improved glycemic control in mice without behavioral or temperature toxicity, repositioning mitochondrial uncoupling as a credible therapeutic strategy for metabolic disease.

Επισκόπηση έρευνας

BAM-15 (N5,N6-bis(2-fluorophenyl)[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine-5,6-diamine) is a furazano-pyrazine protonophore that selectively shuttles protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane, dissipating the electrochemical gradient that drives ATP synthase και accelerating substrate oxidation through the electron transport chain [1]. In contrast to the historical reference compound DNP, BAM-15 does not depolarize the plasma membrane — a property attributable to its specific physicochemical profile και one that abolishes the cardiovascular toxicity (tachycardia, hyperthermia, sudden death) that ended DNP’s clinical use in the 1930s [1,2]. In the 2020 Axelrod et al. study, oral BAM-15 administered to diet-induced-obese mice produced robust weight loss και dramatic improvements in insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance και hepatic steatosis without affecting food intake, body temperature or activity — clean separation from the toxicity profile of every prior uncoupler [2]. Subsequent work has demonstrated activity in models of acute kidney injury, sepsis, breast cancer proliferation και aging-related neurodegeneration in C. elegans (lifespan extension) [3]. BAM-15 is now the most clinically translatable mitochondrial uncoupler in the published literature.
