Prana candidate reduces Abeta levels
Thursday, 10 July, 2008
Key findings from Prana Biotechnology's [ASX: PBT] preclinical research of its proprietary PBT2 Alzheimer's drug have been published in the prestigious scientific journal Neuron.
The article, "Rapid restoration of cognition in Alzheimer's transgenic mice with 8-hydroxyquinoline analogs is associated with decreased interstitial Abeta," can be viewed on-line by Neuron subscribers.
PBT2 was found to rapidly and profoundly improve cognition in transgenic mice, by substantially reducing the amount of Abeta - amyloid beta, the main constituent of Alzheimer's plaques - in the brain over a nine-month period.
The findings will be presented at the 11th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease, to be held in Chicago at the end of the month.
