Smilagenin (also known as PYM50028 and Cogane) is a constituent of Jamaican sarsaparilla (Smilax ornata) and is a neuroprotectant that has been evaluated in Phase II clinical trials in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. On 27 September 2011, the European Commission to Phytopharm plc, United Kingdom, granted orphan designation for smilagenin for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The details of the mechanism of action of smilagenin are incomplete but involve the upregulation of neurotrophic factors including Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

Curator's Comment: Smilagenin (SMI) pretreatment significantly attenuates the neurodegenerative changes induced by beta amyloid 25-35 (Aβ(25-35)) in cultured rat cortical neurons, including decreased cholinergic neuron number, shortened neurite outgrowth length, and declined M receptor density. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein levels in the culture medium were also decreased by Aβ(25-35) and significantly elevated by SMI.
