Abstract
The Na+/Ca2+ exchanger plays a relevant role in several neurological disorders, thus the pharmacological modulation of its isoforms might represent a promising strategy to ameliorate the course of some neurological pathologies including stroke, neonatal hypoxia, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer Disease (AD), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This review will summarize heterocyclic, peptidergic, genetic and epigenetic compounds activating or inhibiting the expression/activity of each NCX isoform. In addition, we will focus our attention on the development of new strategies aimed to ameliorate the pathophysiological conditions in which NCX isoform changes are found.
