tcsc3335 ARN2966

ARN2966 is a potent post-transcriptional modulator of APP expression; reduces expression of APP with resultant lower production of Aβ.

IC50 value:

Target: Aβ

This potent post-transcriptional modulation of APP expression differs from other mechanisms such as inhibition of secretases. Secretase inhibitors have been pursued as disease modifying strategies by a number of pharmaceutical firms but they have encountered numerous setbacks during clinical development. ARN2966 is non toxic, orally absorbable, blood-brain-barrier penetrable, and effective in vitro and in vivo.
