Table 2. Effect of calpain inhibition upon paralysis and OKR in EAE-ON.
Treatment with 50 mg/kg SNJ 1945 from Day 9 post-induction until Day 25 reduces the incidence of paralysis and the maximum clinical score (0<5). There was not a significant association between the severity of paralysis and the severity of acuity loss within individual animals with EAE, regardless of treatment group. N =7 Control, 8 EAE, 5 EAE SNJ.
| Paralysis Incidence | Day of Paralysis Onset | Maximum Clinical Score | Relationship of Paralysis vs. Affected Eye OKR Sensitivity Loss (Adjusted R2) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control-Vehicle | 0% | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| EAE-Vehicle | 75% | 17 ± 0.4 | 4 | 0.007 |
| EAE-50mg/kg SNJ 1945 | 20% | 17 | 2 | 0.268 |
