Abstract
BGP-15 is a drug candidate that was originally developed against insulin resistance by Hungarian researchers. This compound was discovered while investigating heat shock proteins, which are essentials in the functioning of the immune system [1]. BGP-15 is a versatile compound, many research groups pay outstanding attention to the molecule and investigate its effects all around the world. It has been reported to be safe and well tolerated, it entered into clinical phase II [2]. In the followings we summarize BGP-15’s effects to increase the knowledge about the molecule.
