(Rac)-BL-918（Cat No.:I019164） refers to the racemate of BL-918, a compound that demonstrates potent activation of UNC-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1). This activation of ULK1 leads to the induction of cytoprotective autophagy, a cellular process involved in the degradation and recycling of damaged proteins and organelles. The potential application of BL-918 in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease arises from its ability to promote cytoprotective autophagy, which may help mitigate the underlying pathology of the disease.
