WOBE437 as
a disease-modifying agent in EAE female C57BL/6 mice.
(A) Time course of clinical score from day 0 to day 20; onset is represented
at day 1 (red line). The beginning of administration is represented
with a blue line. (B) AUC and (C) maximal clinical score observed
from the time course of disease severity from day 4 to day 20. (D)
Time course of body weight change from day −10 to day 20; onset
is represented at day 1. The beginning of administration is marked
with a blue line. Administration of vehicle (DMSO, n = 18) or WOBE437 (10 mg/kg, n = 14) was started
after disease onset, i.e., when the mouse showed a clinical score
2 or up to 4 days after onset; injections (20 μL) were done
i.p. once per day during 15 days. Data show (A, D) mean ± SEM;
(B) median, percentile 25, percentile 75, minimum, and maximum; or
(C) cumulative frequency. (A–D) Data show the summary of two
different cohorts; only mice showing symptoms were included in the
study. Statistical differences were determined using (A, D) multiple t-test corrected for multiple comparison with the Holm-Sidak
method; (B) Mann–Whitney test; or (C) chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test. *, p < 0.05 compared to vehicle group.
