Key Results:
Mice administered C-176 had significantly smaller cortical lesion area when compared to vehicle-treated mice 24h post-TBI. Quantitative temporal gait analysis conducted using DigiGait™ showed C-176 administration attenuated TBI-induced impairments in gait symmetry, stride frequency and forelimb stance width. C-176-treated mice displayed a significant reduction in striatal gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and CXCL10 compared to their vehicle-treated counterparts 2h post-TBI.
