WAY-200070 is a drug that acts as a potent and selective agonist for the estrogen receptor subtype ERβ. It has neuroprotective effects and has been proposed as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

WAY-200070 is a synthetic compound that selectively binds to and activates ERβ, one of two main types of estrogen receptors in the body. This receptor is found in various tissues, including the brain, where it plays a role in neuroprotection and neurogenesis.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Research has suggested that ERβ agonists like WAY-200070 may have therapeutic potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases. In preclinical studies, WAY-200070 has been shown to reduce neuroinflammation and neuronal death, two key features of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
