Aptamin® based PD Therapeutics
Research results suggest that Aptamin is effective in the delivery of vitamin C to eliminate it by identifying
ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) that affect dopaminergic neurons as the main cause.
Dopaminergic neurons are exposed to ROS relatively high and are susceptible to Oxidative Stress. Proper removal of ROS is essential
Test Results
By administration of Aptamin C and vitamin C complexes dopaminergic neurons is inhibited apoptosis and neuroinflammation.
(MPTP induced Parkinson's disease in animal models)
Tyrosine hydroxylase (Dopaminergic neuron marker)
Iba-1 (Neuroinflammation marker)
Target Market
- Importance of early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases
- Since there is no technology available to detect neurodegenerative diseases in the early stages, patients go through a time-consuming and expensive diagnosis and treatment process.
-
Comparison of disease progression (drug treatment)
- Global Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment Market and Prospect
-
- Molecular diagnosis using biomarkers
- Due to the paradigm shift from treatment to prevention, early diagnosis of disease has become the core of the market.
- Global Molecular Diagnostics Market Status and Forecast (USD in 100M)
-
Alzheimer Disease MRI contrast-agent
To discovering aptamer - targeting biomarker of degenerative brain disease -, and developing MRI contrast agent for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
