U of S Researchers Experiment with Caffeteine to Combat Parkinson's

Category: Local News


Two things that aren't good for you may turn out to be part of a cure for the effects of Parkinson's Disease.

A team of researchers from the University of Saskatchewan have been looking at using proteins from caffeine and nicotine, because both have been known to have a protective effect against Parkinson's.

Co-lead of the team, Jeremy Lee, says it was challenging but they successfully linked caffeine and nicotine and call the compound caffeteine.

From there, they introduced a type of Parkinsons Disease in yeast and discovered that when caffeteine was injected, the yeast would continue to grow as it should.
Lee calls this an encouraging result.
The next step is testing on animals and it is expected this will be a 2 year process.
If it's still looking good after that, the research will go further.

The team includes co-leads Jeremy Lee, a biochemist from the U of S College of Medicine, and Ed Krol, from the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition.

Also on the team, Troy Harkness and Joe Kakish from the College of Medicine as well as Kevin Allen from the Drug Discovery and Research Group in the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition.
