BRISBANE, Calif., March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nitrase Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company deploying its NITROME platform to build a pipeline of therapies targeting nitrases and their substrates, a new class of enzymes discovered in-house that are implicated in a broad variety of diseases, today announced an abstract titled “Unveiling of a Novel Therapeutic Antibody Targeting Nitrated Alpha Synuclein for the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease” was featured in an oral presentation at the Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease (AD/PD) Conference taking place in Lisbon, Portugal from March 5-9, 2024. The presentation outlined data with Nitrase’s first-in-class antibody targeting extracellular nitrated alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. Nitrase’s antibody demonstrated both high affinity and selectivity for nitrated synuclein, and it demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce PD progression in in vitro and in vivo PD models.

Key Points: 
  • The presentation outlined data with Nitrase’s first-in-class antibody targeting extracellular nitrated alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies.
  • A hallmark of PD pathology is the presence of Lewy Bodies and Lewy Neurites, which have been found to include an accumulation of nitrated α-synuclein.
  • It has been established in published studies that PD pathology spreads between brain regions along neural circuitry through extracellular aggregated α-synuclein.
  • Additionally, our antibody demonstrated superiority in a preclinical efficacy evaluation against the parental antibody of  prasinezumab, which targets non-nitrated α-synuclein.
