MIT-001 (also known as NecroX-7 or LC28-0126) is a reactive oxygen species scavenger and a necrosis inhibitor being developed for the treatment of various conditions caused by oxidative stress.[1] It is also a HMGB1 (high-mobility group box 1) inhibitor.[2]

It was reported that MIT-001 has an anti-inflammatory effect on the ovaries of old mice and recovers ovarian function. The number of oocytes per ovary increased two-fold in MIT-001-treated old mice.[3]

Multiple administrations of LC28-0126 exhibited a dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile and were well tolerated at a dose range of 3–30 mg.[4] ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03196804

NecroX-7 has demonstrated therapeutic efficacies in a wide range of diseases including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),[5] improved chronic colitis by attenuating the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α,[6] demonstrated potential as a medication for neurological disorders with its neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-necroptotic effects [7]
