About Prana Biotechnology Limited

 

Prana’s lead candidate, PBT434, is the first of a new generation of small molecules designed to inhibit the aggregation of pathological proteins implicated in neurodegeneration. PBT434 has been shown to reduce abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein and tau proteins n animal models of disease by restoring normal iron balance in the brain. In this way, it has excellent potential to treat various forms of atypical parkinsonism such as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
