- Summary
-
The propagation of aggregated forms of alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein, SNCA) appears to be
critical for the etiology of Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy. ABL301 selectively
targets aggregated forms of α-syn as a potential disease target, avoiding those of its normal,
monomeric form. Since poor delivery of antibodies past the blood-brain-barrier is thought to be
one of the major obstacles for CNS-related drug development, ABL301 also has a shuttle
antibody that allows for improved delivery of antibody therapeutics into the brain. This dual
mechanism will enable antibody therapeutics to more efficiently reach their targets, leading to
better therapeutic efficacy compared to conventional monoclonal antibodies.
