83 results about "Synucleinopathies" patented technology

Synucleinopathies (also called α-Synucleinopathies) are neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of alpha-synuclein protein in neurons, nerve fibres or glial cells. There are three main types of synucleinopathy: Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Other rare disorders, such as various neuroaxonal dystrophies, also have α-synuclein pathologies.

Present inventions demonstrates that alpha synuclein toxicity such as α-synuclein mediated cell death, alpha synuclein induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a cell requires the proapoptotic endonuclease G and that the deletion of the endonuclease G or suppressing of the endonuclease G apoptotic pathway attenuates or counteracts such alpha synuclein toxicity. The present invention compositions and methods for inhibition of α-synuclein toxicity. The inhibiting α-synuclein toxicity can be used in methods of treatment of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), pure autonomic failure (PAF), and multiple system atrophy (MSA) and the manufacture of medicaments for such treatment. In particular The subject matter provided in herein relates to a pharmaceutical compositions containing inhibitors of endonuclease G, and their use in the treatment of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, pure autonomic failure, and multiple system atrophy and the manufacture of medicaments for such treatment. Furthermore the present invention relates to a method for the identification of compounds attenuating the synuclein toxicity, said method comprising evaluating the inhibitory action of said compound on the endonuclease G dependent apoptosis.
