Core Tip Over the last several years numerous remyelination pathways important to multiple sclerosis (MS) have been identified, including those of LINGO-1, hyaluronan, Notch-1, retinoid X receptor receptor, and wnt/β-catenin. Newer discoveries include the pathways involving Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) ligand 12/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 and G protein-coupled receptor 17, and the involvement of Endothelin-1 in the Notch pathway. High-throughput screens have identified multiple antimuscarinic drugs with good remyelination. Also identified by screens, clemastine, with similar antimuscarinic but also antihistamine effects, may be useful in remyelination in MS. Drug repurposing, through screens or more serendipitously, has found that many drugs could enhance remyelination, including benztropine, clemastine, quetiapine, fasudil, olesoxime, and ibudilast, among others.
