CEO Martin Jönsson and CSO Johan Sandin will, along with other things, presents the pharmaceutical platform Alzstatin and also the research behind it. Within the Alzstatin platform, AlzeCure creates disease-modifying and preventive drugs for Alzheimer’s disease that reduce toxic amyloid beta (Aβ) production in the brain.
Henrik Zetterberg, who is the chief physician and professor at the Department of Neuroscience and Physiology at the Sahlgrenska Academy and professor at University College of London (UCL), will be participating and provide a more in-depth review of disease advancements in Alzheimer’s and the amyloid hypothesis, and also offers an update on developments in biomarkers and the diagnostics in Alzheimer’s.
AlzeCure® is a Swedish pharmaceutical company that creates new innovative drug therapies to treat severe diseases and conditions that affects the central nervous system, like Alzheimer’s disease and pain – indications for which currently available treatment is very limited. The company is there on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market and is developing various parallel drug candidates based on three research platforms: Alzstatin®, NeuroRestore®, and Painless.
AlzeCure’sAlzstatin, a disease-modifying research platform consisting of disease-modifying and preventive drug candidates, concentrates on reducing the production of toxic amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain. Aβ plays a major pathological role in Alzheimer’s and begins to accumulate in the brain years before clear symptoms develop. The drug candidates in the Alzstatin platform modulate the function of the enzyme gamma-secretase. Gamma secretase behaves like a pair of scissors and cuts Aβ42 out from a longer protein known as APP. The sticky Aβ42 clumps are together, increasing the amyloid plaque, which is typical of Alzheimer’s disease. The candidates present in the Alzstatin platform affect enzyme function so that it cuts out shorter forms of the Aβ peptide, Aβ37 and Aβ38, which in addition to not being sticky and not forming aggregates, also possess a restrictive effect on Aβ42 totals already created. This means the drug candidates in the Alzstatin platform have two various but synergistic impacts that contribute to a more substantial anti-amyloidogenic – and thus more potent – disease-modifying effect.
