β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine hydrochloride (L-BMAA hydrochloride) is a neurotoxin produced by cyanobacteria that may contribute to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases.

Tauroursodeoxycholate (UR 906), also known as ursodoxicoltaurine, is a highly hydrophilic tertiary bile acid that is produced in humans at a low concentration. Tauroursodeoxycholate is the more hydrophilic form of ursodeoxycholic acid, which is the more abundant naturally produced bile acid in humans.Tauroursodeoxycholate is being investigated for use in several conditions such as Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC), insulin resistance, amyloidosis, Cystic Fibrosis, Cholestasis, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Chrexanthomycin C, an orally active marine-derived natural product, exhibits significant bioactivities and shows a binding affinity for DNA [(G4C2)4 G4] with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.8 mM. This compound holds potential for neurodegenerative disease research, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) [1].

Ganglioside GM1 is one of the major sphingolipids (GSLs) on the cell surface of the central nervous system (CNS), which is protective of the CNS and is used in the study of neurological disorders.Ganglioside GM1 exerts protection against glutamate excitotoxicity through its oligosaccharides in wild-type and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis motor neurons.
