ITH12575 is apotent and selective inhibitor of mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger mNCX with neuroprotective activity. It was shown to reduce Ca2+ efflux from the mitochondria to the cytosol with an EC50 value of 690 nM and was shown to protect against Ca2+ overload and mitigated the neuronal damage in a model of oxidative stress. At higher concentrations ITH12575 also reduced Ca2+ influx through CALHM1, a Ca2+ channel that plays a key role in the neuronal electrical activity.
