Investigators from Neurodon LLC Zero in on Parkinson's Disease (A new target for Parkinson's disease: Small molecule SERCA activator CDN1163 ameliorates dyskinesia in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats)
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Pain & Central Nervous System Week -- New research on Parkinson's disease is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Schererville, Indiana , by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is intimately linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. Disrupted intracellular calcium homeostasis is a major cause of the ER stress seen in dopaminergic neurons, leading to the cell death and subsequent loss of movement and coordination in patients."
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Neurodon LLC , "Dysfunctional calcium handling proteins play a major role in the promulgation of ER stress in PD. Specifically, compromised sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) has been identified as a major cause of ER stress and neuron loss in PD. We have identified a small molecule activator of SERCA that increases ER calcium content, rescues neurons from ER stress-induced cell death in vitro, and shows significant efficacy in the rat 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) model of PD."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Together, these results support targeting SERCA activation as a viable strategy to develop disease-modifying therapeutics for PD."
