Näyttäisi linkittyvän TDP-43:een:

Kupari-ATSM on eläinkokeissa antanut lupaavia tuloksia myös Parkinsonin taudissa:

"we have identified CuII(atsm) as a potential therapeutic for PD. Drug administration to four different animal models of PD resulted in improved motor and cognition function, rescued nigral cell loss, and improved dopamine metabolism. In vitro, this compound is able to inhibit the effects of peroxynitrite-driven toxicity, including the formation of nitrated α-synuclein oligomers. Our results show that CuII(atsm) is effective in reversing parkinsonian defects in animal models and has the potential to be a successful treatment of PD."

CMD-yhtiön tytäryhtiö ProCypra kertoo seuraavassa Cu-ATSM:n viime aikaisista vaiheista:

Yhtiö on parantanut yhdisteen vesiliukoisuutta ja hyödynnettävyyttä suun kautta otettuna koe-eläimillä. Aineen tuotantoprosesseja on kehitetty ja mahdollista toksisuutta on tutkittu jyrsijöillä ja ei-jyrsijöillä, lisäksi on määritelty kliinisten kokeiden annostuksia.

Moving from the laboratory into the clinic


Since licensing commercial rights to Cu(II)ATSM, CMD has developed a formulation of Cu(II)ATSM with improved aqueous solubility and improved oral bioavailability in animals; developed processes for large scale manufacturing of clinical supplies of the Cu(II)ATSM formulation in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”); completed repeated oral dose toxicology studies in rodents and non-rodents to define target organ toxicities and the starting dose for clinical trials; and completed a panel of tests to show that Cu(II)ATSM has no genotoxic potential at surpa-therapeutic doses. CMD has announced plans to initiate a dose-finding study of Cu(II)ATSM in patients with ALS/MND in Australia. Once the trial has been approved by regulatory authorities, details will be posted on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
